When Praying Doesn't Help

Is it possible for God to heal and deliver you completely in an instant from an eating disorder?

Anxiety?

Depression?

Suicidal thoughts?

Yes. It is. But keep reading

Because while I do believe (and know from experience) the phenomenal power of our God through prayers...

I also know (from experience) that often times we have to meet our blessing half way.

In other words: You Gotta Work for it!

When I was in California with Mercy Multiplied last year, I was intentional in seeking healing from years of abuse, trauma, and all the thoughts, roots, and symptoms that came with it.

And while I did spend time each day in prayer and in my Bible (both SUPER vital to true and lasting healing)...

I was also taking steps in the natural to get healthy. Things like:

Eating healthy.

Exercising.

Going to counseling.

Taking vitamins (this was HUGE for me).

Reading.

Setting a routine.

Fostering friendships.

Getting enough sleep.

ALL of this....

ALL of it. Centered around Christ. Is what brought healing.

It's all connected. Every aspect of your health.

Spiritual. Mental. Physical. Emotional.

You have to take care of ALL of you in order to get healthy.

So for everyone struggling with depression. Fear. Anxiety. Suicidal thoughts. All of it.

Please don't think your solution lies in just "praying more" or just "read your Bible more".

Both of those are pieces and right steps. But alone- again, from personal experience, it does take more.

Take care of you. Because YOU matter.
