On today's episode, I am discussing my own personal battle with anxiety, which has been very real and very hard and how it has impacted the lives of the people around me and also my own heart and my own mind.

I am sharing four steps that I have taken according to scripture to really face it head on and fight it every day with intentionality while also discussing medicine and how that has helped me drastically.

Many Christians are told by the church that God will heal them from anxiety, but what if he doesn't? What does it look like if God chooses to not heal us, to live day to day with this anxiety, sometimes debilitating while still trusting Jesus with our lives?

I hope that this conversation encourages you and blesses you and reminds you that you're not alone in your struggle with anxiety or depression.

And if you do enjoy this conversation, make sure to listen to episode 45, dealing with suppression as a Christian and episode 87, the relationship between faith and feelings. Let's jump in.

We were never promised that life would be easy, but when we do it together, it becomes much easier.

I genuinely believe that we have to be intentional about creating a joyful life.

I believe in happy parenting, healthy marriages, long-lasting friendships and making perfect memories in imperfect homes, but those things require deep, holy, heartwork.

I am passionate when it comes to sharing vulnerably about the things that people are not always comfortable discussing, and I am passionate about sharing practical wisdom that has helped me to help you navigate through life less stressfully and more purposefully.

I'm Lindsay Mayesas, and this is the Living Easy Podcast.

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the Living Easy Podcast. This is Lindsay Mayesas. If you've never been here before, I'm so thankful to have you, and I am really excited about today's episode, not because it's a fun topic, but because it is something that has really, really been a battle in my own life.

And it's something that God has taught me so much through because in those moments when we're deeply, deeply struggling, are the moments when we're most on our knees.

And so I have found that in these moments, when I'm on my knees and crying out to God for relief from anxiety, are the moments when I'm most susceptible to hear his word and to receive his peace.

So I want to share with you, biblically, what God says about fighting anxiety and increasing the peace and the rest in your life.

So a little backstory on me, I had my son sat in seven years ago, he just turned seven.

And the second that boy came out of my body, I instantly had deep intense anxiety.

I know now that it was postpartum anxiety, but if you haven't heard my story, I genuinely just thought I was a horrible mom and had no idea what I was doing.
