When You Can't Stop Worrying About Your Health

Lying awake at night worrying about every symptom, test result, or diagnosis? In this episode, discover how God holds every day of your life in His hands, and how to trust Him with the body He gave you when health anxiety takes over.

Did you notice a strange symptom this week and, within minutes, convince yourself it's the worst possible thing?

Health anxiety has a way of consuming every waking thought. A headache becomes a tumor. A pain becomes a disease. A delayed test result becomes a death sentence, at least in your mind. The internet makes it worse, offering a thousand worst-case scenarios for every search. And before long, you're not just worried about your health—you're tormented by it.

In this episode, we look at the story of Trip Lee, a young pastor and rapper who was at the top of his game, touring, recording, preaching, and leading, when his body started to fail. A chronic illness forced him to step back from nearly everything. Suddenly, his world became doctors' offices and long stretches in bed, with every new symptom feeding the anxiety. His plans fell apart, and the questions came fast: "Will I get better? Can I still serve God? Is my life going to look like anything I planned?"

Through his story and Psalm 139:16, you'll see that God saw you before you were born and recorded every day of your life in His book before one of them came to pass. Not one diagnosis will surprise Him. Not one test result will catch Him off guard. Trusting God with your health isn't about having certainty—it's about resting in the One who already holds every day you've been given.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

1. Why health anxiety preys on our deepest fear of losing control, and what Scripture says about who actually holds your days
2. The difference between being responsible with your health and being tormented by worry about your health
3. How Psalm 139 can become your anchor when symptoms, test results, or diagnoses try to consume your thoughts

God holds your days in His hands, and not one of them will be lost. You can trust Him with the body He gave you.
