Course: Freedom From Anxiety

Speakers: Ryan Miller

You Are More: Embracing Your True Identity Beyond Anxiety

Take a moment, close your eyes, and receive a blessing. Hear the truth of who you truly are. You are not defined by your anxiety, the swirling thoughts in your head, or the crippling fears that sometimes overwhelm you. You are not your past, nor are you defined by what you've done or failed to do. Your worth is not measured by your accomplishments, your possessions, or your lack thereof. You are not the sum of others' opinions, nor are you limited by your own self-criticism.

Affirming Your True Self

You are capable. You are resilient. You possess the strength to overcome your current struggles. You are protected, you have a purpose, and you have a future filled with hope. I bless you with freedom from the relentless need to figure everything out, from the pressure to make everything happen on your own. I bless you with the assurance that your current experience is not permanent.

Receiving God's Love

You are deeply loved. You matter. You were created with immense value and worth. You are seen by God. Nothing can snatch you from His hands. He intricately formed you in your mother's womb, knowing you more intimately than anyone ever could. He longs to cover you with His wings, to gather you like a hen gathers her chicks. You are safe. You are known. You are loved.

Finding Identity Beyond Anxiety: A Conclusion

In moments of anxiety, it's easy to lose sight of our true selves. We become consumed by the thoughts and fears that try to define us. However, the truth is that we are so much more. We are capable, resilient, and deeply loved by a God who knows us intimately. By embracing this truth, we can begin to break free from the limiting labels that anxiety imposes, and step into the fullness of who we were created to be. Remember, you are not your anxiety. You are more."

What Share The Struggle Believes

Here at Share The Struggle we believe Jesus is present with us in the middle of our pain and mess, and it is in that place that we often experience and encounter Jesus most deeply.

We understand the unique challenges faced by Christians dealing with mental health. Our mission is to bridge the gap between faith and mental health support, providing a platform where individuals can find resources, coaching support and guidance, all tailored to their spiritual life and emotional needs.

We invite you to explore our resources, share your journey, and find the support you need to overcome the struggles you face.
