My anxious heart has been struggling this week with the events in our world surrounding COVID-19/Coronavirus. But, the truth of the matter is that God is still in control. He is still on the throne and we can find an anchor sure and secure in the hope of Him.
Enjoy this phone lock screen I made for my phone. Hope this encourages someone this week! xx

Not too many people know this about me, but I feel that it is time to share it. Over the past year I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I have struggled with forms of one or the other intermittently for years, but never to the extent that I have recently. While this diagnosis has been hard to accept, I am beginning to understand that perhaps God has a purpose.

As I was thinking on some of the mental battles I have faced recently, this verse came to my mind and it was on my heart to share it with you all. This verse has been precious to me for many years, as my Nanna used to quote it to me when it was a child, but today I reflected anew on the applications this verse has for my life today. God does not want his children to live life in a state of turmoil, and even in the darkest of days I can cling to promises like these. I hope that you find comfort meditating on this scripture, as I have.



If you are struggling, I strongly encourage you to reach out and seek help whether that's from a friend, family member, pastor/minister, or a medical professional. Know that you are not alone in this battle, and with the right treatment and the Lord by your side you can recover (preaching to myself here too! :) ).

God bless,
