Constantly renewing your mind with national news, negative perspectives and fear will only weigh you down and fan the fires of anxiety and depression. This new year, I challenge you to devote more time to Scripture than to social media. People were thankful for milestones achieved, accomplishments made, and relationships enhanced. People built houses, wrote entire novels, learned new crafts and created new recipes, knocked off several “honey-do” items around their home, got cleaned out and organized, memorized Scriptures, and more. Users asked their friends to comment and share something good that happened during the year. It seemed as if a curtain of darkness consumed most of 2020.Īnd yet, at the end of the year, my social media newsfeeds were flooded with posts of thankfulness. There was nowhere to go to escape the new reality that America-and the world at large-found themselves in. “Alone, together” as one commercial put it.
We fought over toilet paper, we fought over politics, and we fought over the right way to handle a very unprecedented crisis. Lack of social interaction, stress over finances and lay-offs, worry over potentially getting sick, low grocery stock in stores, and loneliness were just a few of the anxieties that many people across the entire world shared. For many, it brought great waves of anxiety and depression.
