My Celebrate Recovery group continues to meet weekly on Zoom which has given me support during this shutdown. I feel a bit discouraged though because recently when my anxiety flared up again, I felt a bit judged in a Zoom meeting. I don’t like the attitude that having faith means you are not going to be anxious or make mistakes. I don’t think the judging was intentional. Most of my experience in the group has been compassionate and kind.
Though David had many reasons to be anxious (King Saul was trying to have him killed), my POV is that David was riddled with anxiety for a large portion of his life. Many of us struggle with this.
