Just Talk About It

When you struggle with anxiety, do you usually not share it with others? Know that you are not alone, others all around you are dealing with anxiety too. Sometimes, it is easy to think that those around us just live happy, carefree lives, without a worry in their world. However, in reality, we know that likely, that just isn’t the truth. We are all dealing with stress. It is part of our broken world, and we have to face our fears, hiding will only prolong the pain(although it may give you a short relief). Once you face your fear, the battle is already half over. You will get through it. Share your fears with God and those that are close to you. Don’t be ashamed and don’t fear sharing, it is likely that they want to share their own fears with you too.

“This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me (the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.”

2 Timothy 1:15
