Tips Of Dealing With Christian Anxiety

By Juliette Cruz


Most Christians are occasionally consumed by worries and are insecure in the positions they hold in society. This is because of the pressures implicated on them when it comes to maintaining a reputable image. For this, Christian anxiety is common; what most people do not realize, is that no one is perfect even Christians fall every now and then but it does not mean they have backslide.

The bible is clear when it comes to matters that concern the lifestyle of a Christian in terms of how they should live righteously. People are expected to sin every now and then and that is why there is guaranteed forgive as long as one is repentant; for this, one should ask for forgiveness every once in a while just for cleansing.

Moreover, one should not take advantage of this to sin always since there is guaranteed forgiveness. Societies have different standards for religious people; as much as they have respect for them, they still categorize them as a marginalized group. However, this is not the case in areas where the population of Christians is more than those of the non Christians. In this case, the non religious people are considered the marginalized group.

Most believers are hypocrites and only pretend to believe in Christ and go to church so as to acquire certain status in society. As a result, this put them under pressure of proving that they are believers who they are not. These pressures are caused by inconsistent lifestyles whereby these individuals are caught up in their personalities trying to impress people.

True Christians are never bound to these pressures as they are true to themselves. People make the mistake of serving the world instead of serving God. This consistently makes them overwhelmed by demands that they have to meet to maintain certain status in society. In other words, one should not worry about what other people thinks; God should only be their dictator.

People should not worry about earthly things as they will never last forever. On the other hand, there is a kingdom that is promised and that reigns forever. This should however give them the confidence to keep on fighting and persevering as hard times will only come and pass but their destination will be a home they will live forever.

Recognizing that Jesus is in charge of their lives helps believers lead stress free lives by assuming comments passed by people. This is because one is not dictated by the perceptions that society has on Christians. Things of the earth never last forever so one should focus on things that matter most such as leading righteous lives. Earthly things should never distract one from attaining the promised kingdom that will last forever.

In order to avoid Christian anxiety, Christians ought to realize that people will not stop talking or judge others; therefore, they should not be depressed for comments are rarely factual. These standards set on peoples lifestyle should be disregarded, and one should only follow what they believe is right. It is through this and prayers that one will overcome all temptations.
