Empathy
Tonight talking to a friend I thought I might give you a perspective that may help with some empathy and understanding for you in the future.
Right now most people are feeling some level of anxiety and most people much higher than normal. Some of you may have had your first panic attack. Others are dealing with depression because your routine is shot and your uncertain about your future. You miss your tribe and your every day life.
What many feel right now is how someone with chronic anxiety and depression go through every day. They wake up with their heart racing or having to do everything it takes to get out of bed. When people say it’s simple to get over, many of you are experiencing the battle it is to keep your mind in a good place and your body moving. I hate anxiety and depression with a passion. It robbed me of several years of my life. It’s ugly and painful but the kind of painful that you can’t see. If you’ve had a glimpse of what it’s like use that and pray for those who live in that world every day. It’s a battle that many of us have worked to overcome.
I would like to add that today while we were live-streaming I thought I am amazed that anxiety is not my portion in this season. You would think that with my past that right now would be horrible for me. I’ve even asked God why am I finding good peace when others are not? I felt like the Lord told me that because you’ve fought hard and won this battle. You’ve learned how to find me in dark situations and how to align yourself with peace. It’s become ingrained in you.
So for all of you out there who have fought this war for a long time, your reward is supernatural peace because you’ve been training for it your whole life. It’s also time to release the peace you carry for those who have no peace.
Tonight I release peace over you. The kind that passes the natural mind. Some of my favorite quotes lately are “You have 100% track record of getting through your worst days.” “If it’s not good it’s not the end.” “When you’ve done everything you can do, stand.”
