\n
As most people out there know quite well, Easter is an occasion to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\n
This past Sunday, however, used the holiday for a slightly different \u2014 albeit still very important \u2014 reason.<\/p>\n

\n
She used it to resurrect pressing issues, topics and problems from her past; doing so we presume, in order to help anyone else to may be able to understand all that she\u2019s been through.<\/p>\n

\n
Back in August 2020, Jessa opened up via a 25-minute video about her struggles with mental health.<\/p>\n

\n
She delved into her \u201cjourney from doubt and depression to grace\u201d in this footage, saying candidly on camera:<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cWhen I was young, I \u2018prayed the prayer\u2019 and \u2018asked Jesus into my heart,\u2019 but I wasn\u2019t truly converted,\u201d wrote Jessa this week as a caption to the re-posting of this confession.<\/p>\n

\n
Duggar hasn\u2019t been in the news much of late, with the exception of followers wondering if she is pregnant once again.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Jessa<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
But she ought to be applauded in this instance for once again going public with her internal battles and beliefs.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cIn this video, I open up about my spiritual journey,\u201d continued Jessa in her caption, adding:<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cAfter years of struggling with doubts and depression, I came to truly understand the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cThis is the story of God\u2019s grace in my life. I pray you find encouragement as you listen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\"Jessa<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Members of the Duggar family don\u2019t often give us a reason to shower them with praise \u2014 but well done, Jessa.<\/p>\n

\n
Way to set an inspiring examples for others.<\/p>\n

\n
Plenty of social media users appear to feel the same way.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Jessa<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u201cThis legit breaks my heart,\u201d wrote one person on Reddit, for example, expounding as follows:<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been watching the early specials and I wanna steer far away from being an armchair psychologist but nevertheless some of the traits I saw in her from a young age are things I recognized within myself as a depressed child.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
Others, meanwhile, were sympathetic to Jessa\u2019s plight.<\/p>\n

\n
However, they felt as though she should seek out a therapist; maybe not instead<\/em> of relying on her faith, but in addition to it.<\/p>\n

\n
\"Jessa<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Read on example of this kind of critique:<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cGenerally speaking, it sounds quite scary that she\u2019s denied herself any real help if she was depressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
And another:<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cYou are most likely pushing down your trauma and making it worse in the future. Just see a therapist. It won\u2019t hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\"Jessa<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Jessa, of course, has suffered at least one notable traumatic incident in her life.<\/p>\n

\n
She was a victim of molestation at the hands of her older brother, Josh Duggar, when he was a teenager and she was a young child.<\/p>\n

\n
In February, a judge dismissed a lawsuit Jessa and her sisters had filed against an Arkansas police department released records of this incident to a national tabloid.<\/p>\n

\n
The Duggars are expected to appeal this decision.<\/p>\n
