KEY TAKEAWAYS:
• Your anxiety doesn’t mean you’re a bad Christian
• King David struggled with depression, Elijah with burnout—and they were people of great faith
• Clinical anxiety and everyday worry are not the same thing
• Therapy and medication can be tools God uses for healing
• Taking care of your mental health is stewardship, not sin
YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Mental health struggles affect Christians too. You’re not less faithful because you’re anxious. You’re not a bad Christian because you’re depressed. God is close to the brokenhearted—and that includes you.
