Anxiety, Depression, Suicidal, Panic Attacks, Insomnia; the search for Peace



Several resources here can be a help you. 

Thinking biblically about specific issues is important since we Christians get our worldview from biblical truth, & we can not make excuses, get correct help, must take action, and conquer sin, to live right and holy lives.

There's two kinds of anxiety. Sinful fear, and a deep, proper concern. Without peace your thought life can go between anxiety, depression and suicide. Don't let it control you, instead Recieve the peace of Christ. 

Romans 14:17 tells us having peace of heart and having inner joy, only come from the Holy Spirit, and is only available to those in Christ. It is a proper peace you can have from today onwards. 

Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

This has some info on Depression.to examine, for soul care, as it's not a medical/physical issue. 


Introduction for young people: 

Why are these particular problems a growing issue among the teen years today?
Theres only 4% depressed over the age 60. The larger demographic shows college and young professionals have largest problems with depression, the 18 to 25 year range of young adults. There's a reason (and it's not just because of what's taught in or brainwashing of young people in public education systems with trying to reconcile what they were taught with living in the real world). Sin and not living a biblical mindset are at the root issue. But resources here will help explain and guide you. 

Anxiety & identity issues typically come at age 13, the puberty years  Lack of a biblical worldview, the peer pressure and in the vulnerability years, plus lonliness, grief, hopelessness, or bullying, sexual curiosities, etc and overall just not understanding life properly. These kids are told & believe the lie that they arent loved, theyre worthless, of no value, have no purpose in life, etc. Kids in the past were brought up in Church, in the Bible, and with Christian morals in this western society. And prior to 1930 were all homeschooled or schooled in public schools that were focused on teaching about God and Christianity. Things were still fine through early 90s because the grandparents & parents took their kids to church and taught them about God, and taught them their value is in being a special person created by God for fellowship with Him, and most understood their purpose in life.  After 1999 it went downhill and parents & churches failed to rightly teach their kids about life and the world  MZ need to have all this explained to them. Below resources will help do just that.  Take time to review,  understand the issue, and the solution.  

Regardless of age the below will help you, perhaps you just never knew... 

Many people who profess to be Christian have never understood who they are and who God is. If they had a right understanding of our trustworthy and soverign God they would not have all kinds of problems, but rest in Him.

DEPRESSION, SELF HARM & SUICIDE:

Depression: 

Helps for changing your expectations that lead you to disappointments when we are being selfish fleshly focused on our desires - not God focused and godly minded. Man tends to forget God and going His way, we need to refocus to be focused on his will and desire. The person is also focusing on the gift not the Giver (job, relationship, power, position, money, things, car, etc). We need to eliminate idolatry in or heart.  To do that we need to Live by the Spirit. 🩷✨️

Verses to Encourage:

Philippians 4:6-7: Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 5:6-7: Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.

John 14:27: Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

2 Timothy 1:7: For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Psalm 55:22: Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Hebrews 13:6: So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

Joshua 1:9: Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” 

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Deuteronomy 31:6: Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all things [in His Will] will be given to you." - Matthew 6:33

1 John 4:4: You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Luke 12:22-34: Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you—you of little faith! And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 

Isaiah 41:10: So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Verses on Anxiety 

We can be reminded that when the storms of life hit, our Creator and Savior will watch over us. That does not guarantee we won’t have problems! After all, we are fallen creatures living in a fallen world. Nonetheless, “The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him” (Nahum 1:7).

IDENTITY CRISIS HELP
Today kids and teens are not told about their identity that they were made in the image of God, and their value as a human created by God. So they have an identity crisis and are looking to find themselves. 
This leads to all kinds of confusion and seeking to find themselves which results in disasterous ways and ends, even suicide. We need to guide them to contentment in who they are as God created them to be. Not in what they think they are or run around trying to be. Peace and contentment only come from understanding who we are and what we are to live as. 


People try drugs, alcohol, sex, fantasy, otherkin/furry, Lgbt+ lifestyles, etc. To try to figure out who they are. 
Without God, life has no ultimate—no objective—meaning. If there is no God, every one of us is as insignificant as a grain of sand. And these lifestyles are a result of kids and teens being lied to/ told they came from goo and have no value or purpose in life. So these issues are typical with MZ Generation. They grew up with no actual influence of Christianity and no one telling them about their value and who we are as humans.

All the issues listed in this page are from the fruit of wrong thinking, but it's just no one ever explained it to you. I hope you will find life & peace in Jesus. 


"The Word of God has power when applied to our emotions, there is healing. And you can move from brokenness to wholeness."
