Why do I battle fear and depression as a Christian? | Natalie Grant

These videos are all great 'n' all but I wonder what these people who've come out the other side would say to someone that's been continually in the 'valley of Baca' for thirty nine years with absolutely zero answers and no end in sight. Asking for a fiend.

You are loved and appreciated

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌏✝️🇺🇸 Isaiah 61:1Thank you always

Jesus seat blood before being crucified and asked God if there was a way where not going through this would work three times. We gotta look more where Jesus was human during his time here.

Im struggling right now too um sorry if i am greedy yhe truth is that those are the things i also say and think

AMEN

I was raised by 5-Point Calvinists who used the KJV. I became more like an Arminian, specifically about cut off from God salvation. I use the NASB and NASB 1995, literal translations of the Bible. NKJV reminds me of Southern Baptists and Calvinists use.
Jesus Christ's Greatest of the Apostles (disciples) teaching. Jesus Christ's Christian useful merit competition motivation teaching of Mark 9:33-35 from NASB 1995 causes me to be useful much.
This text could motivate, supposed to be Christian people, to do all types of usefulness. Chores, volunteering, grade school, high school, college, and work.
And so it motivates to be doctors, engineers, and multi-millionaires.
I teach on Facebook if you wanted to from my description.

The introduction got me.......I am here now saying I just don't believe some of the biblical things I say or use to believe anymore bc of the place I am at now. Still struggling with debt, loneliness, emotional eating, depression and anxiety....where is the power of God? Where is the waiting in God and He gonna do what? Small groups, church attendance, serving it hasnt helped me heal or move forward. It's just distracted me and made me more doubtful bc my expectations and experiences haven't been what I've thought, perceived, or been told. Hiw do yiu move forward from such hurt and doubt in yiur soul now? Bc no christians is here to help me through and never has unless I paid them through bad counseling. To me I feel like the church has become a fraud in my eyes bc its more like the world than truky embracing the word of God. If you find a good one stick with it and don't take it for grant it. I understand why people don't attend church especially if you have deep struggles and want to heal

Oh man I could write a book

💕💕💕 such transparency ❤️

This is so good… thank you.

Thank You Roger Breland!

Thankyou Natalie!

Wao! This was beautiful!

This has me wrecked. I’m struggling to keep my housing which is tied to my college campus and therefore my degree completion. Every semester I live fearful of losing it all, every day I worry if I’ll make it to graduation because I can’t keep up with the room and board which as a former foster youth and independent student, I am solely responsible for. Daily tears, daily struggle, daily I call on God to keep me from what I feel is so inevitable.

Thank You For Your Honesty and willingness to share.... I can relate to the Struggle..... I cry alots to Jesus and Say I need you Jesus with me wherever I go....God Bless You Natalie...m

No truer words spoken. As Christians we were conditioned to believe if we fall, fail, or feel weak we’ve failed as a Christian. We’ve failed God. It’s taken years to realize, God never used perfection in His word to show His miracles, or use perfection to teach. He used those who believed in Him. He used those He could walk beside to teach, to heal, to comfort, to give Hope. God doesn’t ask for perfection, just belief in Jesus Christ, acceptance and repentance. The rest is a learning curve of all levels in our walk and relationship with Him. Forgiveness doesn’t require perfection. Only surrender. Natalie is amazing.

We all are only human. Love the truth. I have battled all of what you are talking about. Hold on.

Thank you! Beautiful words and encouragement. 🤍

In my case, I had my mom and sister reinforcing that negative belief of you’re not enough and now I can help be apart the solution or prevent for a mom I love and hope one day she is there for me to help me avoid any future issues.

This needed to be heard!!!!! THSNK YOU, SISTER NATALIE!!

Thank you for sharing Natalie

I am struggling so much right now and I just not trusting God and I am going to it’s hard but I know IT IS WELL AND GOD WANTS THE BEST ME GOD GOD WILL BRING ME THROUGH I just ask for prayers

I'm so sorry. I'm glad Jesus can help everyone with it all.♥️

Amen. In My weakness His strength is made perfect🥰

Completely identify with this 💗💗💗

I just now found this video. I have never heard anyone be so incredibly real and truthful! I have struggled with these issues for years to the point of wanting to take my own life! I know God led me to this video for a profound step in healing! Thank you so much Natalie for the strength it took to be so blatantly honest!
P.S. You came to a church I belonged to years ago and performed there with your husband. I was so lifted up when I left that night. I'll never forget it! Thank you for that as well. May goodness and mercy follow you all of your days! Your cup runneth over!!♥️

So true. Thank you for sharing your heart and your struggle ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Amen.

Thank you Natalie. I have struggled with this for a good long while even though I cry out to Jesus and He is all I want or need. I have gone through much trauma in my life so I understand why I have this. But thank you for your honesty. It does help me and others to know that you're not alone and that we are some backslidden Christian

Natalie dear the devil is a liar.... we really need to understand the devil does these things like depression anxiety and any other thing like that God has to repeatedly to remind me of that... lean on the LORD he is ever strong much stronger then we are way much!

I know all about postcard depression I suffered it with my daughter.. it wasn't pleasant my ex-husband was not even supportive at the time he was hard. I'm so happy you pulled through this Natalie your songs have inspired me throughout the years ever since I became a born again Christian God bless you my dear sister thank you for telling us your testimony. ❤️🙏

"Mental health" can have physical roots. Thyroid, methylation, food sensitivities, histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome . . . Functional/Integrative healthcare can help . . . has helped me. God Bless you.

I so relate to your testimony. I to stayed silent for many years with worry and anxiety, but praise God he finds strength in my weakness!!

Wow. Just wow. I knew I loved her before, and now so much more…..So many things I could share, but I don’t have time to write a book! I’ll just say this: Thank you, Natalie Grant!

Very beautiful brokenness from miss Natalie. For me, Jesus set met free from panic & anxiety when I let Him heal some (old) traumas. Enemy comes in when there's a trauma (can be childbirth, accident, abuse, loss...) Part of our soul is captive & the enemy (fear/demons)torments, but Jesus can set us free!

Thank you Natalie for sharing something so personal and honest. This was really helpful for me, more than you’ll ever know. 💕❤️

Also Ephesians 6:18 beautiful scripture meditate day and night His words God words always pray to Him, Jesus He will help you trust Jesus always Amen

Yes I needed to hear that even though I struggle alot but yet try not to lose Hope .Yes God words are active and alive all we need is faith hope and love but the most is love.prayer is very important in our life but the most important is God we need Jesus died for our sins on the cross John 3:16 so always pray in the spirit or to yourself in all kinds of prayers in your life in Jesus Name amen . Thank you ,God bless you

"This is what it is to be..." honest! God bless you my sister. Natalie, I love your music and ministry forever and even more when I hear you testify like this. Hugs 🤗

Thank you so much for sharing and being so open.

Thanks so much for sharing sister, I had the bless of leasing the song that you sing with the guy with the long hair and you through the worship ministry on the area depression and anxiety. What happened when the depression isn't coming from post part or any "significant" cause?

Jesus is the son of God who died and rose three days later so you can be free, forgiven, healed, delivered, saved, baptized and so much more. Believe in Him as the son of God and you are saved eternally and will live eternally. He's awesome and wants us knowing Him and spending time with Him. Read scripture and learn who He is and how He is. Let Him reveal to you the truth of scripture. Ask anything in Jesus name and He will do it.🔥🙏💕🕊️
