This is so good. Been going through different stages of anxiety and panic attacks ever since I was 8, that been 22 years of this struggle. I'm very tired and worn out from this and God been good helping me with every time, it just now I feel so lonely and don't know how to seek Jesus Christ to just be free.

Hello Andrea! I struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts/OCD. Not only that, but I also had an accident that made me paralyzed from the waist down. I was so mad at God because He allowed all these bad things to happen to me. One day, I was watching a testimony about this guy who was freed from anxiety and depression. He talked about Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me." I realized that God allowed me to be fully crushed until I couldn't handle anymore, so that I can DIE to myself, and Jesus can start living in me. After that, I was freed from all of the self-destructive thoughts. I surrendered everything to Jesus and allowed the Holy Spirit to lead me every day of my life. I am now living freely, happily, and excited about what God has planned for me every day. I see life with a grateful lens now. "The enemy wanted to harm me, but God intended it for good" -Genesis 50:20. I just wanted to let you know that there is freedom in Jesus! God loves you so much, Andrea!

@@hellokitkath3329 Wow, thank you for sharing something so personal. Could I ask what step did you do to surrender to Jesus? Was it just having your mind think on scripture? Or fasting? I understand how difficult the battle of the mind is, and to surrender your thoughts to Jesus Christ, how did you start?

@@andreay9935 Hi Andrea, are you also Filipino? I'm actually Filipino. :) So oftentimes, we are so obsessed with our healing. (This happened to me). Thinking things such as "oh I have to pray as much" I need to fast" "I need to give" "I need to do this and do that to receive my healing" but all those things are self-righteousness. What if you didn't pray or fast correctly, does that mean you will not be healed? OF COURSE NOT! What I did is I shifted my focus from myself to Jesus. I focused on the finished work of Christ on the cross. I am not righteous because of my own work but because of the work of Jesus. I am healed because not of my faith but because of the faith of Jesus. I am healed not because of my obedience but HIS obedience of dying on the cross. Focus your attention on Jesus, not on yourself. (I read books, listen to testimonies and preaching in our church, and focused on the finished work of Christ on the cross).

@@hellokitkath3329 I get that often, no not Filipino. I'm Mexican, but we do have similarities:) and that the tricky part for me, to focus on the cross. I've heard it so much, but it still don't understand how to set my mind on the cross. Is it by visualizing Jesus on the cross? Or reading more of it in the bible? Sorry for asking so much, I'm just curious because I can imagine how negative, hurt, and angry you probably were, and to deny those thoughts and focus on Christ. I just want to know where your head space was to believe more in Jesus Christ then your feelings? That a big problem with me. Feelings vs faith. I lean more on my feelings then faith in Jesus Christ. I hate that about myself, and seeing that you went through physical, mental, and emotional pain how did you set your mind to believe more in Jesus instead your emotions?

As a follower of Christ I still struggle with anxiety and intrusion thoughts. I also struggle with loneliness many people of God struggle with this. I had to reap what I sow and God brought me outta a food disorder for 2 months and voices in my head horrible ones those days were hell but the Lord God sustained me and I recovered, but sometimes I still struggle but I look back and think those days were much worse pain than the pain I still have now. Now I continue to remember the promises of the Lord and rebuke the Devil of his lying schemes cuz he will never win! I hope I be a light to someone who is in a a very dark place you will be okay and come out better and yes it will hurt but even in our darkest moments the Lord is still here with us. GOD BLESS🙏🙏🙏
