Depression and anxiety , panic attacks these things are all demonic attacks As a Christian ones need to be delivered from that and only Jesus could set us free. When we speak of being a Christian or living a life following God's order many don't understand what this means as a Christian more than likely where there is demonic attacks there is some type of door being left open to the enemy. My friend does deliverance on Corporate people and what she has seen is that people want to be set free however they are leaving the door left open for the enemy to come in by what we are bringing into our lives such as the movies we watch, unforgiving, being around ones who practice lawlessness, not spreading the Gospel, not repenting it could be many things. Unless it is a chemical imbalance then it is demonic attacks and deliverance is needed. I recently saw this great youtube video of this tattooed bearded smooth dude that went to this teen and broke it all down to her what he was seeing in the spirit the guy who hosted the channel was crying people in comments were also I will leave the link. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9WYoJySvLGXlIk.html , Hell testimonies inforazzi.com/page3

I appreciate you sharing your story. My mother committed suicide when I was 12 and my first time seeing my father was to bury him. Depression was a normal part of my life as I went through a personal identity crisis. I'm thankful to God for the spiritual balance and seeing a therapist at one point to confirm that I wasn't crazy for my feelings. Between my wife, my kids, and taking care of myself helped me to see that I don't have to be a replay of my parents. Thanks again Lecrae for using your platform to open up about these issues. Blessings sir.

Thanks, Lecrae! As a licensed counselor and one who uses EMDR with many Christians each week, I appreciate how you concisely and accurately spoke truth. We all need support, we all need a cast at times, and we need to take action in addition to prayer. We cannot simply think our way out of trauma, anxiety and depression. We need a plan that works.

You’re an amazing person you helped me through my parents breaking up, losing my best friend, getting bullied to every one of my school years. And this year one time I was listening to Restoration and it gave me courage to stand up to my bully. You might not believe it but I was in a real state of depression. Yes I’m young. But it was hard for me. So thank you thank you for helping me. You’re like my 2nd father

E.gThink and see positive in negative situation , positive affirmations feeding minds healthy thoughts and vibes related to purpose passion goals and 3) action helping the weak and supporting teh meek e.g to help neighbors or donations and volunteer in ministry or etc Purpose in life to serve god whole heart kind and soul and love others like oneself. It helped me keep motivated and inspired despite all struggles challenging situations i stick to my purpose and passion and align my life around fit helps me not get lost and stuck in depression.

Lecrae- You saved my life the morning. Been dealing with a lot of depression, put on your album All Things Work Together, never heard the whole thing, but God spoke through you to me. I might have done something I regretted. Your words are more powerful than anyone I've listened to. Especially the Rehab album. Fought addiction for 15 years and im 29. Read your book Unashamed twice while I was in rehab myself, then signed it, prayed over it and left it there for other people. Saw it a few years later and others have done the same. Your changing lives, especially mine. Just, Thank you. I wish I could tell you how much your music has helped save my life. I'm always trying to find someone I connect to about depression and anxiety too but I know God is amazing and all powerful better than anything out there, and I know He will pull me through

God Bless you Lecrae. Always wanted to let an artist know some day how their music helped shape my life.
