I haven't been well this year and I couldn't quite figure out what/why, but apparently I'm suffering from the medical condition 'anxiety'. I'm quite ashamed to admit this. A servant of Christ who shouldn't/'doesn't need to be anxious over anything'? I didn't even know there was such a condition, but here we are, there is. I've found myself stressing totally unreasonably about the silliest things and subsequently suffering other consequences. Anyway, it's all in hand and I know what to pray for specifically, and I know help will come. I thought I had enough medical complaints already but hey ho what's one more lol?
Sending love

Well, if you can help it, don't be anxious over even that, dear Loz (peace and love to you!). I'm glad you have things in hand now and that you know what to pray for. I will keep you in my prayers as well. I know that mental or emotional conditions still have shame attached to them (though I understand that is not why you feel ashamed, but please know that you do not have to be ashamed with us. We are not the Pharisees who judged others as 'sinners' worse than them, due to their ailments)
My Lord also reminded and reassured me recently (because I have some dear loved ones who suffer from depression or anxiety), that the leaves of the tree are for
healing... healing of all sorts; including for mental and emotional pain or sickness as well.
It is good to hear from you dear sister, and thank you Kim for you wish of love and peace, and Outlaw, lol, you're the sheriff here; you're not supposed to make lamb chops out of the sheep!
Peace and love to you all,
your sister and servant and a fellow slave of Christ,
