A Theologian created a quote that I have held almost as close to me as scripture because it speaks to a time in my life of immense anxiety and fear…
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
During this time in my life I allowed fear, doubt and shame to control my reality. I had anxiety and panic attacks, was prescribed Psych meds, given mental diagnoses and was even sent to a Psych ward because of suicide attempts.
The problem was, I didn’t know who I was in Christ. I didn’t realize the power I had access to if only I’d believe and receive what God had for me.
It is critical to understand your identity in Christ to be able to stay grounded and sane in a world of chaos with an enemy seeking to kill, steal and destroy you.
I started believing what God said about me.
I began recognizing the lies of the enemy and rebuking the influence He had gained over me.
I rejected worry, fear, doubt and shame and excepted my new identity in Christ…
A child of the Most High God.
Blessed and favored.
Beloved and protected.
Forgiven and free!
I stepped into the call on my life and began walking that out. Here I am today, delivered from all forms of mental issues, Psych medication, anxiety, worry and fear. I have this ministry to show for it!
Glory to God!!
