Me in VA....I know how exhausting and draining anxiety can be...I also know what it feels like to have to force myself to attend church because of my anxiety!!! I used to be the same way!!!
I posted a link on "How to Handle Fear" in the "Spirituality section" of this forum. If you would go to that link, and study that site at your leisure, then, I am sure you would begin feeling much closer to God!!!
The Bible says, "Draw nigh unto me, and I will draw nigh unto you!"
We do have to make the first move, and you do not have to be in church to do so!!!
I learned the hard way that running to God with my problems was the answer, instead of running away from Him!!!
Remember...He is the true answer to all of our problems and concerns, and He knows us better than we even know ourselves!!!
I pray you have a wonderful day...God Bless...
Stopped going to church regularly
