Lauren Daigle Opens Up About Struggle With Depression And Anxiety

One of the most talented and popular musicians in all of Christian music, Lauren Daigle, has now opened up about her fight with depression and anxiety.

Life is often not an easy or fair experience. Everyday living can push anyone to their breaking point. The stress and worry of life can become overwhelming, weighing heavily on one’s mind. At times, it can feel like the entire world is on your shoulders or back. Even someone who thinks themselves to be the most mentally tough can encounter issues.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Lauren states that she has experienced panic attacks, anxiety and depression. 

“I have dealt with panic attacks,” she said. That was kind of a new thing in my life – anxiety, depression.”

But, thankfully, there is One who is a comfort and a shelter amid the storms and troubles of life. There is One who provides a peace that surpasses all understanding. He is the one that Lauren turned to whenever she was going through these dark valleys. 

“And the more I decided to lean into God and say, ‘God, despite what I see, despite the chaos that is surrounding me and the way I feel and the way that all this works. Despite that chaos, I have to trust that you know what is greater.”

Like all Christians, Lauren encounters periods when her faith in Him, even when she turns to God for help, protection and answers, can become shaken. When her faith and trust in God are wobbly at times, Lauren adds that she’ll take it to Him in prayer. 

However, no matter what we are dealing with or going through, God is still in control. He is still working and cares about and for us. Whatever we may be going through or dealing with, reach out for help. Don’t deal with an overwhelming situation by yourself, and also remember to take that matter to God.

The beauty of God is that He will, He will meet you right where you are,” Lauren said. 

Psalm 55:22 “Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.”
