Since it is now the Easter Season (according to the church year), I thought I’d mention some words spoken by the Risen Lord that help me with my anxiety and depression:

“Do not be afraid.” (Matt. 28:9)

“Woman, why are you weeping?” (John 20:15)

“Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” (John 20:21)

“Receive the Holy Spirit.” (John 20:22)

“Do not be unbelieving, but believe.” (John 20:27)

“Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” (John 20:29)

“And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matt. 28:20)

What are some words that have comforted you?
