6. Don't give up on us; there is HOPE in recovery.

6. Don’t give up on us; there is HOPE in recovery.

I have experienced first hand that there is tremendous hope in recovery from anxiety. More than anything, we need to know that our spouses won’t give up on us. Spouses, we need to know that you believe that we will get better. Please don’t add to our anxiety by trying to rush our recovery process or doubting that we will ever be able to recover in the first place.

Please choose your words carefully. Encourage us to get help. Take us to the doctor/psychologist/counselor. Just don’t give up on us or decide that we will never be able to have a life without constant anxiety. That is simply not true.

We must remember and cling to these scriptures:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Philippians 4:6

For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and self-control.

2 Timothy 1:7

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Romans 8:37

God clearly doesn’t want us to live with an anxious mind. It is my prayer that both the anxious spouse and non-anxious spouse work together to find freedom from anxiety and peace in the home.
