Anchor Points: When Diagnosis Brings Relief but God Brings Redemption

Do you ever feel relieved when you finally get a diagnosis?

Even if it’s not one you wanted...it’s something. It names the problem. It gives you an answer.

But what happens when our search for a label becomes a substitute for something deeper?

In today’s Anchor Point, Devin Almonte opens up about her own family’s experience with ADHD—and how our desire to define what’s wrong with us can sometimes distract from what’s really happening in our hearts.

She explores:

• Why naming the problem brings a strange kind of comfort
• The hidden danger in letting our diagnosis define us
• How every label points to something bigger, our need for grace and healing

Yes, real struggles exist. Real pain. Real illness.

But our ultimate healing doesn’t come from knowing what we have, it comes from knowing Who holds us through it.

Scripture (NIV):

Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
