Isy says, “I’m a Christian and I love God, but I struggle with both depression and anxiety, and I feel sad and tired a lot of the time, I desperately want to keep looking to the Lord and receiving His joy and peace, but it just feels so hard to be joyful when I just feel so down and anxious. Do you have any tips on how I can keep on choosing God’s joy and peace even when it feels so far away?” First, I want to say that I hate that you’re walking through this. I truly believe that the enemy is coming after teens today more than he has ever before, but it’s because you all have inside of you the power of God to shake this world in a positive way. God wants to use you to make an impact bigger than ever before. People need what you have and if they enemy can stop you, then he wins. We aren’t going to let that happen.  That’s honestly my heart behind starting the UncommonTEEN Podcast. My heart is that you are so strong in your walk with God that the enemy and this world can’t shake you. And Isy, I don’t want you to feel alone, because so many of the Christian teen girls I talk to, struggle with this same thing. But the good news is, there is hope. You can overcome! Just as Psalm 118:6 says, with God on your side, you don’t have to fear!  Today, we’re going to start talking about 6 things you can do to overcome whatever the enemy is throwing at you. We’ll only get through 3 today and will do the last 3 next week. I have seen so many teens girls that I coach take these steps and I have watched how God has transformed their lives. One girl who is currently going through my coaching program right now was in a really dark place and in just a few short weeks, she is now walking around with the joy of the Lord as her strength. It is so fun to watch, and I know God can and will do the same for you! I can’t take credit for any of this, I’m just so thankful God allows me to be a part of your journey!  The Beautiful Movement's Summer Box is now available for pre-sale!
