Some sources suggest that there has been a 30% increase in mental health disorders due to the pandemic. If you speak to psychologists or GP’s they may tell you that it feels more like a 50% increase. There is more talk about anxiety and mental illness at the moment than any time I can remember. We have all experienced it at some level. The question is when we start worrying about the future, what will stop our thinking from becoming like dominos, snowballing into panic, and a feeling of helplessness and despair? The good news is that Jesus understands our anxiety. And what he teaches today can totally transform how we respond to anxiety.
