✨ Myth: Many of us have been taught—directly or indirectly—that strong faith means a struggle-free life.
That if we truly trusted God, anxiety wouldn’t linger, sadness wouldn’t ache, and doubt wouldn’t surface.
đź“– Truth: God never promised a life without struggle.
Jesus said, “In this world you will have tribulation…” (John 16:33)
But He didn’t stop there.
He continued: “Take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Faith and struggle are not opposites.
Faith is often the very thing we cling to in the struggle.
✨Another Myth: If you have enough faith, you won’t experience emotions like anxiety, sadness, fear, or doubt.
đź“– Truth: Scripture tells a different story.
David cried out in despair.
Job mourned and questioned God.
Elijah became so overwhelmed he asked God to take his life.
Even more—God Himself experiences emotion.
He created us in His image, with the capacity to feel deeply. And He never shamed those emotions. Instead, He met them with compassion.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” (Matthew 5:4)
Faith was never meant to erase your humanity.
Faith isn’t the absence of anxiety, sadness, or questions.
It’s choosing to bring those feelings to God instead of hiding them or feeling ashamed.
You don’t have to clean yourself up before you pray.
You don’t have to explain away your emotions to prove you’re “faithful.”
God meets you in your honesty.
If this season feels heavy, it doesn’t mean you’re doing faith wrong.
It may mean you’re carrying pain, responsibility, or grief that was never meant to be carried alone.
You are allowed to feel deeply and believe fully.
Faith and tribulation can—and often do—exist side by side.
Struggle does not equal broken or weak faith. It simply means you’re human… and in need of God’s truth and strength.
If you’re finding yourself carrying anxiety, grief, or questions that feel heavy, you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Faith and professional support can coexist beautifully. Therapy can be a space where emotional healing and spiritual growth happen together.
🌿 If you’re open to it, support is available—and you’re allowed to receive it.
