I watched a podcast video by two young women called Girls Gone Bible. They talked in a recent episode about mental health and faith specifically faith in Jesus. They shared about how Jesus has helped them with anxiety, OCD, depression,.

One thing I shared in my book Jesus Understands Trauma is that Jesus understands anguish. The night he was arrested, he knew what he was about to endure, and shared his anguish with the disciples in Matthew 26:38

“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

His turmoil while praying was so great that he sweat drops of blood.

We can come to Jesus with our struggles of depression, anxiety, mental health knowing he has sympathy for us and is ready and able to help.

Thank you for reading. God Bless.
