by Lindsay Hausch\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I first shared about my struggle with anxiety on my blog.<\/p>\n

Before I knew it my post had been shared to thousands of people. Not because my words were special or that my story was different. No, my story resonated with all the people suffering in silence thinking, you too?<\/p>\n

A friend from Lutheran Hour Ministries reached out to me to see if I would be interested in doing an interview about how my faith has helped me through my struggle.<\/p>\n

[youtube https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=emDMZwRVtnw&w=560&h=315]<\/p>\n

That meant leaving my two year old, to get on a plane and travel with my five month old. That meant meeting a roomful of people I didn\u2019t know and sharing with them my most intimate struggles in front of a camera.<\/p>\n

I took a deep breath and said yes. Not because I was unafraid, not even because I felt courageous, but because I knew that God went before me, that he was with me, and that if I showed up, He would be there too.<\/p>\n

That morning as I was getting ready, I saw a big framed picture of a dandelion in the bathroom hotel. I\u2019ve always said that dandelions were my favorite flower, because of their imperfect beauty. Dandelions break apart to plant new seeds. I pray that God would use my brokenness to plant hope in hurting hearts.<\/p>\n

Standing outside the door of the interview room, I opened my devotion and read this verse,<\/p>\n

\u201cSee, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD God is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.\u201d Isaiah 12:2<\/p>\n

Friends, can we stand in the doorway of uncertainty, feeling afraid and shaking, and still walk through knowing God will meet us there? I hope this video reminds you that you are not in this struggle alone- you have a community- but most of all, that God has come to save you. He came to save you as a helpless infant. He came to save you on a cross. He came out of the grave to save you. God comes to save you in the small moments when you pray, \u201cGod help me,\u201d and He is there, so you are never alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
