I certainly do. Anxiety, probably ADHD, and others. How do you find yourself conquering it? I feel I've been pleading with the Lord about certain things for years and partly believe it will be with me forever unless divine Intervention.

Hello Ernie and welcome here.
YES, I DO believe this. We are still in the world and are subjected to not just the physical, but, also the mental, spiritual, emotional as well. Satan attacks the mind, especially if we come from an abusive family, or developed PTSD or anxiety through trauma.
Just my 2 cents.
How to get through can be difficult alone but, prayer, worship, praise and obedience or a mixture thereof is what we need to do to battle the mental and emotional attacks. Not very easy at times when going through the fire.
I will say a prayer for you as I can relate and hope you will overcome each time! First thing in the morning, acknowledge God through prayer. This has become my 1st prayer to The Lord each morning, play it if you feel like it or not and just think on the words while lifting your hands/heart to Him.
:pray::pray::dusted::woohoo!:

Yes. I believe I will give an account of it all on judgement day. I am ready to do so.

I don't necessarily give myself a free pass for things I did with an altered state of mind. Its what I did in the wake of those things that I believe proves my character as a Christian.
