Some time ago, a woman at my church (who used to be a missionary in Mongolia for 12 years) told me that the reason for my fear and anxiety was because I lacked trust in the Lord. I was very hurt then when she said that. But is it not true? Why do I fear cancer and death so much if I truly trust...

Thank you very much. May our Lord bless you.

I cannot believe it has been a year since my anxiety started. And it has not gone away. But the fear and anxiety had been coming down. The problem is that now my fear is ramping up again. This is because my next follow-up test is on March 27, just 10 days away! I am so afraid my tumor marker...

For people like us with mental disorders, it's just so very easy to have something trigger an onset of problems. It happened to me just last week when my mother had breathing problems. I rushed her to the hospital and spent a lot of time with her there. After she was discharged, both my feet...

It's really good to hear that you are exercising. Not only is exercise good for our bodies, it makes us feel calmer and happier too. Just don't forget that to lose weight, you need to pay attention to your diet as well. Too many people gorge themselves thinking that exercise alone will atone for...

The reason your blood pressure cannot be controlled by the medication is because your anxiety is driving it up. If the anxiety is under control, your blood pressure will be easily regulated. Glaucoma is only a problem if left untreated. My sister-in-law is an ophthalmologist and she is very...

My brother, I'm always touched by your love, kindness and concern. Thank you also for sharing your struggles. I wish I knew a believer in real life who could be so open. I feel so lonely in church when I see everyone putting on smiles and talking in such a spirited manner. I'm sure many are...

My wife has a colleague whose husband went through an experience strikingly similar to yours last year. He had high blood pressure and an eye problem (not sure if it was glaucoma). This guy practically lives in a gym and is really fit. He became terrified of death for 4 months before seeing a...

My brother, it is really good to hear from you. Thank you for your honesty. One negative thing about being with other believers in church is that whenever I try to unburden myself to another believer, instead of sharing their own vulnerabilities, they start spewing Scripture. It's like they are...

All the ulcers (in the esophagus, stomach and duodenum) - probably caused by my intense, stressed-out lifestyle - are healed. Biopsies taken from these parts show no sign of pre-cancerous cells. In other words, all perfect except for the one thing that gave me the anxiety in the first place: my...

I shall be going to the hospital soon for follow-up tests. Please pray for me. Please pray that the Lord will show me His gracious love and compassion, that all the tests will produce good results and, in particular, my prostate tumor marker will drop down into the normal region. Thank you very...

Thanks. I watched it.

I can't find it. Where is it?

A couple of months ago, the senior pastor at my church, at the beginning of a sermon, said that during his college days an elder would invite him and his Christian friends to his home once a week for home-cooked meals followed by prayer and Bible study. During one of these sessions, the elder...

My fear cycle is similar to yours but in a different sequence. Mine goes something like this: 1) I fear I might have cancer. 2) Then the fear of death will overwhelm me. 3) I pray to God for deliverance. Most of the time, prayer gives me peace but when the fear is particularly bad, I call out...
