Jesus And Mental Illness

You Are NOT Your Illness

You are NOT your illness!

Story time!

When I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and social anxiety. Then years later with bipolar. It took me until recently to stop defining myself by my illnesses.

I want you guys to know something: you are NOT YOUR ILLNESS! You are a Child of God! And that means you are beautiful, loved, cared for, and you have an amazing purpose for your life. You are SOOO much more than your illness. Your illness doesn't define you, God does! You are not what your illness tells you, you are what God tells you. God knows you are pretty awesome.

Don't listen to your illness, your illness just wants to hurt and destroy you. Listen to God, God just wants to love and help you. Because you are not your illness, you are a Child of God💜💕

Verses:

"'I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart.'" Jeremiah 29:11-13

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:19

"So how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are!" 1 John 3:1

Prayer:

Dear God,

Help me not define myself by my illness. But instead define myself by being your child. Help me to listen to you and not my illness. Help me to follow you Lord, and you alone.
I thank you Lord for all my many blessings, for Your Son, and for being Your Child.

In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen.
