I've heard stories from Christians miraculously set free from anxiety and depression...but I think we need to hear more stories of how God can be at work IN THE MIDST of our struggles with mental health. So this is my story, and I hope it can encourage you. Love, Tiffany Dawn

I suffered from chronic depression and anxiety. I went to church and was delivered from depression. Praise God 😊

I have heard so much that worrying is a sin from people and pastors who have never experienced anxiety. I really needed this <3

I needed this! I hear so much, “I gave it to God and it went away!” Sometimes that just makes me feel even more anxiety and depression! I’m glad that I am not the only one who is experiencing this still and still working through it slowly with the Lord pulling me through! Thank you for this!!! ❤

Thank you for this video! :)
I can relate to that so much and I often asked myself why God didn't do anything. I only met people, who were healed over night, but I wasn't one of them. Therefore I thought it had to be my faith, which was not strong enough. Nowadays I can finally see the process of my healing and what God actually has done in my life. However it takes time and there are so many people dealing with the same issue, but still not enough, who talk about it.

God healed me from anxiety, and the deceptive feelings of condemnation which caused obsessive compulsive behaviors. If he can do it for me, he can do it for you. Don't give up. Keep going. Keep praying. (If you comment/ reply, I can pray for you too ❤) Only believe. All things are possible to those who believe.
"Luke 1:37 "For nothing will be impossible with God.”
God loves you and he cares deeply about you. He sent his son to save you. Will he stop at that? Will he not also graciously give you all else that you need? Can he not save from anxiety, from fear? (Romans 8:32) He is the God who created the heavens and the earth. He has full control of the wind and the sea. Is he not also able to save you? Have faith in God. Trust him and his perfect timing.

It's really annoying when people tell you "you don't pray enough" I'm not going to be able to pray away a DISORDER, He could but he gave us free will and this is just something I will have to live with

Thanks for sharing your struggle. My wife has struggled since a child as well and family an friends have often said "if you only had faith." But the truth is as you say, sometimes God doesn't choose to heal. He doesn't heal every sickness or pain just because we cry out to Him and "live righteously." He has a bigger purpose, and pain and struggle are often part of His purpose. Thanks for sharing your words, as I am putting together part two of our fear series and today's sermon is on anxiety.

It’s amazing to see this type of testimony. I have been dealing with anxiety lately and as a Christian it almost feels like your condemned for it. No matter how much I read the word it’s still something I’ve been combatting. I’m actually going to take medication to help me with it. I was feeling so much shame about doing it but it’s to the point where I really need it. I won’t feel any shame about it anymore. The church condemns it; but in reality God heals in His perfect timing.

2021 was the hardest, darkest time of my life. I was physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually BROKEN. But now I feel genuinely GRATEFUL and BLESSED that I had to go through that phase because GOD has graciously REVEALED Himself to me in miraculous ways. I am fortunate that He allowed me to know Him at a very young age, but this year is so much SPECIAL because of what WE (yes, GOD and me) have been through last year. He showed me how POWERFUL prayers truly are when I started to focus on WHO HE IS rather than who I am, on WHAT HE CAN DO rather than what I deserve. The experience was MAGICAL. He showed up BIG TIME and assured me that HE is indeed a LISTENING and RESPONDING GOD. Oh how my faith has skyrocketed as a result! Now more than ever, I have very bright HOPE for my future because I experienced first hand how RELIABLE God is. And for that I will forever be grateful. GLORY BE TO GOD, MY EVER FAITHFUL FATHER. ♥️♥️♥️

Tiffany, I just watched your video. 1) I am sorry for all the pain you have felt. I truly am. 2) I am 70 and suffer from self-hatred and feeling like I don't belong in the world, that there is something really wrong with me inside. I have felt this way since I was 11 years old. I have thought of suicide all my life. Except for a brief time. But it has come back full force. I am a graduate of a BIble College but have been in constant pain even while I was there in my late 20's. I 've been to numerous counselors and on meds for a long time. Nothing helped. I am now off the meds. I can say that all my spiritual growth has come from much suffering. All compassion, empathy and spritiual fervor is due to my pain. Much weeping and crying out to God is my daily regimen. I am through asking for His help. Now I accept it is my lot and gift. I pray Scripture prayers back to Him like in Ephesians. I am also seeing so much Pride in my life so I am trusting and asking Him to use my pain to bring true and complete humility. Thank you, my dear sister, for sharing your story with the hope it will help others. It helped me.....Thank you. Lastly, Charles Spurgeon (a famous and well loved Pastor from the past) experienced much suffering throughout his entire life. I have been encouraged by reading about his struggles. I Love You, My sister. John

I am at my lowest because my ex girlfriend lives in the same apartment complex with me and things at church did not work out and she says terrible things about me behind my back and is nice to me in person and I am wishing her the best and I pray for her and her beautiful life with her Christian friends!

Thank you!!! I relate to this so much! I'm always tired as well. I didn't know I had depression and anxiety until my best friend told me. My mom used to criticise me all the time telling me I was young so I should have so much energy. When I had a panic attack in front of her she started believing me. It's brought us so much closer. Yes I have anxiety and depression but God knew it would strengthen my relationships with my family and friends and put me in a position to help others going through the same.
I love your videos. They always hit me deeply and help me to see God's hand in my life. Thank you!

I struglle with anxiety (which is why I often feel tired as well). I've been praying a lot about it and I'm doing better now, it's not all gone but I can see the difference. I'm letting myself some time to see how things are going and if I don't see progresse I'll definetly go to a counselor. It's quite upsetting to not receive instant healing as some people have experienced but I trust God and his plan for my life. Thank you for sharing about this

i just found this video today, i have the same issue now, i constantly worry about death of love one, financial bankrupt and so many things. im always anxious and i feel like i have to always prepare or plan, or do this and that, and after that im always tire.. i have memory verses for anxiety , worry and pain but i dont know it feels like its not enough. some days i feel good somedays its back to zero, its tiring but i feel like if dont worry something bad will happen out of my complacency, i feel like i should always be ready, i knows its not good to hear but i feel like i always expect the worse to come.. i hope i can find a christian counselor that is affordable, its very challenging now that im the only one working for my family.. but i know God is still in control no matter what, so im believing that soon, ill be free from this constant cycle of anxiety. thanks for sharing your story.. ive learned a lot , im so grateful for this :)
