Does God care about my anxiety?
Yes. The Bible is full of anxious, worried people, and God never shames them for it. He invites you to bring your worries to him, again and again if you need to.
The peace he offers isn't always the problem disappearing. It's being held steady in the middle of it.
And getting help from a doctor or counselor isn't a lack of faith. God often cares for us through other people.
