Anxiety, Stress and Depression

There is so much stress, anxiety and depression in the world today. And our solution to the problem is to escape into fantasies, or to fill ourselves up with stuff, or chase after money, food, pleasure, power, and even wisdom to satisfy our cravings. Another more common solution to more prolonged and severe problems is to seek help from a doctor and take pills or drink or smoke or do drugs to dull the pain. And we know this only covers the problem. And no psychiatrist claims to have cured their patients. The real problem in this is that we have not put God in the right position in our life. Even I, as a Christian, have not always put God in the right position in my life. Many of our illnesses don't come from the food we eat or how much we exercise, and we all know it, it's all in our brain, it's from our heart and where we put our trust. Too many of us put our trust in other people or even ourselves. Put your faith in God. Put God in the right position and live according to His will and let Him take down all your obstacles. Don't worry about the things of tomorrow, there is enough trouble in today and you don't know what will happen tomorrow. As difficult it can be in the most challenging times, put your faith in God. He knows the future and in the good and the bad times He will always be there. Put your faith in Him. I honestly believe you will be healed!


There is more to it:
Drunkenness leaves you not in control of your thoughts.
And Drugs make you dependent on them, your doctor and yourself instead of God.
Marijuana tricks your mind and body to the sensation of happiness, but it's only a substitution for real joy and peace given by God's Spirit.


Note:
I know in some serious cases drugs are needed to help. But God is beside you and will help you through rehabilitating your life. God Bless
