The Denial Tax

How anxiety grows when we ignore blind spots instead of surrendering them to Jesus Christ

We grew up calling it “stress.” Sometimes “tired.” Rarely “anxiety.”

But denial by any other name still costs the same.

Push through. Keep going. It’ll work itself out.

That’s not strength—it’s debt.

Anxiety is fear of the future on repeat. Regret is obsession with the past.

Both thrive in denial.

I learned that when I finally stared at my life in the mirror: overscheduled days, poor time planning, money slipping through the cracks, and apologizing for every “no.”

When I stopped lying to myself, everything shifted.

Time became manageable. Money had a plan.

Stress started shrinking because I let God expose what I’d been hiding.

Denial pretends.

But Jesus Christ delivers.

The best thing I ever did was surrender my blind spots to Him.

That’s when the weight began to lift.

Here’s the question: where are you still paying the denial tax?
