Finding God’s Peace When Anxiety and Depression Strike - Dorcas Cheng-Tozun

What does mental health look like when it’s centered on God’s love and peace? These are the first lines from Dorcas Cheng-Tozun’s Bible study summary, and they hit home. Dorcas authored a 6-week study that helps Christians see God’s loving presence even in the midst of mental health struggles. She reflects on her own journey with anxiety and depression, pointing readers back to the goodness and sufficiency of the Lord. Dorcas also discusses how important it is to know when you need help and when it’s imperative to lean on community and medical professionals. It’s critical to listen to what our bodies are telling us. God designed us with warning signs. Will we pay attention to what it’s telegraphing?
