Christian faith and Mental Illness

Christian faith and Mental Illness

Hi all,

I am wondering if there are other Christian's struggling with MI on this forum and how u reconcile that with your faith.

I am a Bible believing Christian, but since suddenly somehow acquiring extreme anxiety and depression, (that is not at all well controlled), i am struggling in my Chrsitian walk. I believe God's word, but i have so much doubt and unbelief! Does that make sense? I am so scared about so many things much of the time, but God's word tells us not to fear and to trust in Him. But im struggling. And i feel so ashamed. I feel so ashamed of my lack of faith and trust in God, my unbelief, when im supposed to be a Christian trusting God! Is anyone else in the same boat, or been in the same boat? How do u walk this walk of what for me is daily torture, and keep trusting God. I am so scared that im never going to get better, but i know i should be trusting God to get me through this but im really struggling to. Help!

Ps: i dont know if this post is in the right forum, sorry if not!

I believe some doubts can constitute sin. If we doubt, find excuses, and decide not to change our lives, that's a different story. Sometimes we avoid difficult decisions. Our doubts can be a cover for our hard hearts. This is the problem with many intellectual skeptics of Christianity. But believers, too, can fall into this position. A believer may begin to justify his inaction with some doubts. This can eventually lead to sin. To make your doubts go away, watch the pastor's live broadcasts at https://firstchurchlove.com. Don't be afraid to move forward. Believe in yourself and in God.
