Life is hard. We can all identify with the hardships of life. We live with a paradox of beautiful moments and the brutality of life. Stress and anxiety are very much part of our human experience. We are not necessarily humans on a spiritual journey, but more spiritual beings on a human journey. Warfare in the spiritual, between God and the enemy is a real thing. It can sometimes cause the depression and anxiety we experience – isolated, alone, trapped. Jesus himself faced every aspect of the cruelty of life. He is in the middle of the mess with us. Don’t quit, when you are stressed or anxious, in that dark place, you are not alone. God is with you.
