dentro da sua imaginação, em poucos minutos, um resultado positivo,
An Arts student at the University of Phoenix, in Arizona (United States), published, on her Facebook, a frightening description of her illness: anxiety. Among other things, the girl, named Brittany Nichole Morefield, declared:
“Anxiety is simply having difficulty breathing. Anxiety is waking up at three in the morning and completely losing sleep because your heart is racing […] Anxiety is taking a shower at two in the morning. Anxiety is changing moods in a few minutes . Anxiety is shaking uncontrollably. Anxiety is crying tears of real pain. Anxiety is nausea. Anxiety is crippling. Anxiety is terrifying.”
In just a few days, this post reached over 400k likes and over 190k shares. Of the nearly 60,000 comments, most are from people reporting that they suffer from the same problems or recommending reading to other people who also have anxiety.
This is a disease that has spread rapidly around the world in recent decades. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 322 million people worldwide suffer from anxiety and depressive disorders. In Brazil alone, more than 18 million people have the disease.
But what exactly is anxiety?
In Brittany’s words, “anxiety is fear. Anxiety is worry. Anxiety is being physically and psychologically drained.”
According to Bishop Renato Cardoso, this distressing feeling totally controls the person who suffers from evil: “Anxiety does not empty your tomorrow of sadness, but your today of strength. Forces you need to create a solution and execute it. Anxiety makes you experience the same problem a thousand times before it happens. She makes you fear something that only exists within your imagination .”
He explains that “because of anxiety, some are paralyzed and others rush. They take no action or they rush in and cause a disaster.”
How to defeat evil
Brittany wonders how God would allow a person to suffer this way. However, she forgets that He can only act in man’s life if He is asked to do so. The antidote to her problem and that of so many millions of people is precisely to ask and allow the Creator to manifest in their lives.
“The opposite of anxiety is calm, tranquility with good doses of confidence and certainty of a positive result. Summing up in one word: faith”, explains Bishop Renato Cardoso. “Faith in what or who? In someone who can guarantee you a positive outcome .”
And that Someone can only be God, because He is the only one capable of ridding human beings of any doubt. Those who have faith in his action do not allow themselves to be slaughtered by uncertainties, because they know that victory will come.
As the bishop states, “the good news is that this Someone is our Father. And what parent doesn’t know what their child needs? What mother has not ceased to have for herself to give to her child? Will this Father who takes such good care of plants and animals not take care of his children? This is the foundation of the faith that nullifies and overcomes all anxiety in your heart.”
Contrary to what many think, anxiety is a real disease and often even lethal. However, its healing is within everyone’s reach. If you have been suffering from any degree of anxiety, participate in our Spiritual Cleansing and free yourself. Every Friday at your local Help Center .
