I suffer with anxiety & depression, just recently lost my mom who was my best friend. I have learned that by having a close relationship with God, that He heals every wound, slowly, but thoroughly. If I thank Him while I'm in emotional OR physical pain, the agony gets less and less. Thank Him in the storms---even while you are in emotional or physical distress. That alone demonstrates your faith and your faith will send you through it. We are all supposed to share in the suffering, to endure and push through, but remember, when we feel weak, that's when HE is the strongest. Jesus slept in the boat during the storm while everyone panicked. But He knew how to rest while everyone was frantic. I'm learning to rest while the storm is brewing---to have peace in the midst of chaos. Pray without ceasing! It works! Don't let the devil tell you it doesn't, because as we all know, the devil is a liar!
