Foundations for this message:

• Good Christians struggle with anxiety and depression 
• Mental illness is not a sin
• The Bible is filled with people who struggle with what we would call “Anxiety” and “Depression”
  • David, Elijah, Jonah, Job, Moses, Jeremiah 
• Not all stress is anxiety. Not all sadness is depression. 
• Your suffering is real and we are with you in it

Your next steps if you struggle with anxiety or depression:

• Choose to be around other Christians who love you and care for you 
• Choose to worship in the waiting
