This is one of your best videos in my opinion. It’s spot on! What hit me most is that when we have developed this habit of catastrophic thinking it’s because we need NURTURE! Bingo! Lots of eye opening wisdom and discernment right here!! Thank you, Mark!

I always tend to think the worst as a way to protect myself but it only messes with my mind and health. How can I learn to think the best? Mark Dejsus always gives me a light bulb moment in every video I watch. Wow I'm so grateful for this channel. I feel that way that I don't want to think the best because then I can get disappointed

What I struggle with is trying to figure out whether these feelings are intuition or just anxiety.

Thank you for talking about this! ❤

Wow! My eyes have been opened to Truth. Thank you for using the Word of God to dispel the lies and even the culture of church, as I have been a Christian for a long time and sometimes I struggle to think of the Word AND apply it correctly with sobriety when catastrophizing is underway. I laughed, was convicted, and chewed on the Truth for my real and modern day struggle. Thank you, Mark! Please continue to allow God to use you!

This is catastrophically good 😄 how much l need this!! Thank You Mark from my heart.

I get stuck in cycles, mainly with this stuff. They keep going on and on. My biggest problem is rejection, I seem to feel so unworthy that I think I have to figure everything out myself. Edit: I agree with the comments, this might be your best video

I struggle in the area of trying to figure everything out myself too and codependency at the same time. I remember being left alone a lot to figure things out myself growing up because I didn't have parents who were very educated and also because I wasn't validated the way I needed to be validated. I've really had to find healing by leaning on God whose been really the only one to give me the closure and validation I've always needed. Overtime that's how I've been able to find freedom from catastrophic thinking.

I’m learning that too. There’s this book about grace called Standing in Grace by David Guzik, it explains it well. I’ve come to learn that God doesn’t require any repayment; on the other hand, it’s hard to keep this in practice.

who is rejecting you? when im friendly n fair with people i dont find rejection is a main problem. if i do get rejected, my inner attitude towards them is WELL SCREW YOU!! and i ignore/avoid them...but if pushed, i display my thinking towards them with a look, a facial expression of surprise and annoyance, and as a last resort, i tell them what im thinking. so avoid pple that treat you badly or as a lesser person. screw them!!

Wow wow wow omyhoodness this is me 🙄 Thank you Jesus for this channel and Mark De Jesus for using his talents in helping us out of this mental brokenness 🙏

I remember hearing the following statement years ago: “You cannot have a setback without having first made progress.” I really needed this reminder, Mark, thank you. It helped me see the process of sanctification in a new way. I’ve always seen it as going from A to B in a straight line. This is usually because of reading of others’ testimonies of radical transformation that took place overnight. But we often don’t hear much about the setbacks that can occur with these same people along their own faith walk. Then comparison and perfectionism sneak in and you can begin to feel defeated in the process. Then, of course, when significant trials come along, sometimes one after another, it’s tempting to start questioning if we’ve somehow fallen too far away from God’s radar or have done something to lose His love and adoption.

I love how Mark randomly breaks out in singing. Always puts a smile on my face😁

Kinda crazy how well I relate to every singpe video this man produces, and it hurts because I know I wouldn't be this way if I hadn't fallen so heavily into sin.

ANOTHER GOOD ONE!!! Thanks Mark! This past year has been a super hard one ! OCD for 20 years and we’re a military family we were under lockdown and rules that were HARD! The OCD flared up and I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it some days ! Jesus I praise you for Mark and his ministry ! A lifetime of answered prayers found here !!!❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Amen 🙏🏻 Bless you

I needed this . I feel like I'm at the end of my rope

I've been dealing with catastrophic thinking for so many years now. But, I rarely share what goes on in my mind. I have a tendency to internalize when I'm mentally suffering. Thank you Jesus for setting me free and showing me how to walk this freedom out.

Safety is so important to me. I definitely fit into this.

This is so good.

Just always on point thank you for doing God’s work. Bless you and your family 👪

LOVE YOU BRO THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING TO MY EMAILS

" I'm going to go through the feeling one step at a time. " Instead of " can this just be over "

In a panic at this very moment. I am looking for a job, I'm 50 and in IT and spent years at home with the kids. Got laid off after 2 years on a first job in 14 years. Feel SO SCARED.

Probably the BEST VIDEO you have done. Thank you😭 God bless you. Will be sending an offering to your Ministry, thank you😭🙏

Everyday I'm going 911. Jesus are you there? I'm in alot of insecurity.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wow i just found these videos today i cant tell you how gratefull i am to start this healing journey GOD bless you for this

Really good!! 😊

Thank you for articulating what I could not put into words 🙏

This video, thank you so much for all you do! 🤍 The hell comparison, that is WOW!

Mark, this is easily the most relatable thing I’ve heard in such a long time. I’m trying so hard to accept love but I don’t know how. My fiancé has shown me the unconditional love I’ve always been missing and I don’t know how to accept it. I love your content because most things I listen to regarding my struggles aren’t faith based and you have really opened my eyes.

I have definitely felt beyond help. Wow

This video is helpful on many levels. In this I see myself as well as others who are close to me. You are great at helping people to shift gears!

Thankyou for this.

Thanks Mark DeJesus! You know what I like about this video. You not only show us the problem but God's answer to where I am. Sometimes you blow the problem out so much in your videos I am thinking does the person actually believe the average person can get out of their mess. Im not sure but maybe the way you brought the truth home is the best. But, to tell you the truth, I was wanting to go somewhere else because I know my bad news. So, thanks for the thought about sober thinking and what truly is my next step?? Bravo you brought some light finally and encouraged my heart. Jesus is truly on my side!! Amen Mark! Lead people continually to that Glorious Throne of Grace!! Amen.

Yeah one step after one. No choice. Need to follow your advice in this time of transition. I'm panicking because I am still on my novel and I've got procrastination and decouragement but anyway. I will go on and do it !

Praise God for he has opened my eyes and led me to you. I'm sorry for the journey you had to take, but I'm thankful that God is using it to help me and others. I am being kind to myself pulling out of habits, by recognizing they are JUST AS you explained in the video. I am taking time to do your lessons, books videos, because I know God has good plans for me and this is the time to begin my healing journey. I'm looking forward to freedom and transformation, peace in my heart where God will be! And exchanging the habits I used to have for Love and fruitfulness in the might powerful and Beautiful name of Jesus💖. Thankyou!

" catastrophic thinking " is a protective mechanism ". " because then i wouldn't get my hopes up ". Hmm... I've heard this growing up.. That phrase.. 😳

You’re trapped and not actually dealing with your pain! Wow !!

Wow ! You have completely described my situation without knowing me. It’s such a cycle. I’m so thankful for your video. I want to go ahead in my life and hold Jesus’s hand. It’s a process all my life I believe. But as long a Jesus is with me I can do it one step at the time.

I cannot begin to tell you how much this video and all of your other videos have helped me. Thank you and your wife so very much for all y’all do. It has made a difference in my life. I am sharing your videos with others in my life that I know will benefit from these videos as much as I have benefited from them. Please keep on doing what y’all are doing because it is making a difference. May God bless y’all and your family always!

Thank you

Thank you!!

This was excellent! One of the best, and it's helped me so much. Thank you Mark and Melissa for all that you do to help others.

I'm dealing with this right now as a new believer. I need guidance and prayers. I feel this message so much. How can I be freed from this? I'm still trying to figure out what course I will really benefit from in this season of allowing fear and worry to control my thought process. I get stuck in this cue of always trying to figure out why I feel a certain way or why I might be going through certain challenges/struggles rather then letting myself feel them and take the next step.

One of your best videos, thank you for taking the time to prepare and present this

If people call you dramatic, then you know you have been living this way. I have two fingers pointing at me. I have been stuck in this as well as self pity and victim mentality...oh the anxiety it causes.

Yes, I've experienced that!!, showed anger to me when not sharing their catastrosize.

always great

This is so good and useful! 👌

How do I become Rooted and Nurtured in God's Love?

Mark you are the best ❤

It leads us into unnecessary suffering. People could just say " I'm going through a hard time . "

Fantastic video. Only thing I have to say about Jesus coming back soon is that is the one thing that gives me Immense joy and reprieve from all of my mental anguish, not more

Bible of me. Catastrophe ch 1 vs 2: magnify the problems with me

❤❤❤❤ helpful video

Remembering my past prayers when I was not struggling with my belief about God and would keep praying Lord make me love you more and make me more compassionate towards others etc. And not understanding or surrendering to the process. And it only lasted for so long... Then more thanks and forgiveness and the knowledge wisdom and understanding... But years later still crashed in to a spiral especially when Covid hit me what was really in my heart and revealed what my relationship is really like with God and others and even a feeling that something has been taken away from me then I got mad and fearful about all of the responabilities and my heart felt so bad and hard or strange pain...(AT the time husband telling me not to worry its part of a healing process). The first time I brokedown around 20 years ago... all the fear of I'm responsible and need or should be doing etc and life over whelmed me but always thought I was introverted and had anxiety issues because what I would avoid... I just finished a diplama in Natural Therapies and then into more studies as a nursing student but only got so far because I had a fear creep up and I couldn't move forwards getting stuck plus the thought gotta make a choice not commited to Christ/Church and living "worldly" life and had to go and find more jobs/work more. And gave up studies. God more invoved in church because of what I should be doing. But knowing I still doing give whole heartedly to serving just training and more learning and just wanted to assist not be a leader to take on more roles etc. Then more studies jobs and social gatherings and searching or going after relationships and asking God for a mate... but just wanting balance. Then I got married while getting back into study and working a family job. Then gave up work while we got pregnant. Gave up more church to focus on family and my self... Still went to church regularly and studied the bible also. Yeap but also just realising how relationship and trust was an issue especially how I grew up and dysfunctional family issues. grew up in a (SDA) church but not "strict" believer or that disciplined and went to non-christian and public schools. ANd a very multicultural back ground. I believed but came to know how ignorant or not so passionate (thinking I was humble) with my gifts and skills that I was learning. Thinking I was doing all what I needed and wanted to do. I thought I was going through a burn out nt knowing the real deeper issues.

This time It seemed like I was just kept telling lies what I wanted to be and do or should be doing... and the spiral just made want nothing and not wanting to do anything and knowing that I was running from something with the fear and guilt. Plus having the "end times" in my mind that I had to flee with my family the thoughts of having to flee the City and imagining all that God was showing how the evil was hidding in this world and what I had to do to keep safe... It showed how really unprepared I was or what was I really listening to or how easily thinking how our minds can really effect me and us... Always feeling like Im running and avoiding things and not really dealing with hardship and spriralling with the worst rebellion evil wicked heart hatred and feelings and thoughts towards people creation and God. bringing everyone down and lies to avoid anything to do what God wants me to do (to serve, love, work or spread the gospel) depression, suicide. Crying and tantrums not wanting to speak and see people but family still "protecting". But have damaged so much of my soul mind and body and broken spirit. And the thinking or rage would not go and can feel it but also feelings would also be blocked. my family telling me no you do have a good heart give you time and rest etc. They were being kind but also knowing if you knew me you wouldn't be so kind. especially how i been treating them and others. I was recently looking at the "deliverance" side of things because I had so many issues that I didnt want to work on and had all the signs and symptoms of attacks and speak like I am demonised and keep playing on it. And it like I am hearing but not listening. i would read and keep reading and watching youtube etc. where It is addictive too. (I've grew up with a lot of TV music and entertaining which everything has effected my growth and thought life too...) And there so much more... I think I was being feed but not really nurtured but also became so selfish thinking with lacking or acting in love.

Hello Mark! Please reply with the link to give to your ministry! Thanks so much!

🙏

the "starts in" itself gives me anxiety.

You've been through alot "& Gods here " right now". U dont hav to fix 20 yrs of Therapy " .

37:30 yeah. 😮

Do you ever address bipolar disorder? I find that it goes hand in hand with OCD.

Legalism uses God as a weapon! O Sovereign Lord heal us from being blinded in our hearts and minds by this false god! In Jesus name!

I'm someone that likes to be around ppl. Relax and hang out with the crowd. Except I'm in a situation around missionaries that say if I keep going to a different congregation then I'm considered a hypocrite somewhat. I dont understand why I can't attend services to fellowship with others to learn more.

Ur helping me slot
