If you or someone you know suffers from mental anguish/disease the Bible gives the following tips for a healthy mind:
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:” (Isaiah 26:3-4)
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” (Romans 8:6)
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2)
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” (2 Corinthians 10: 3-5)
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Philippians 4:6-8)
When Jesus came he also cured people with mental illness. (Matthew 4:24, Mark 5:15) Jesus came to set the captives free. (Luke 4:18; John 8:31-32, 36) No matter what your current mental condition is — anxiety, depression, PTSD, you can have a 100% free and 100% healed mind.
The following resources can help people to develop a healthy mind.
Peace About Politics: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Timothy 2:1-6)
There’s been a lot of political tension. Politicians opposing each other. People opposing the political beliefs of others. I believe it’s good to be informed, to vote, and to voice your opinion peacefully. As one of my political science professors taught us, “Agree to disagree peacefully.”
But the best way to have peace of mind about politics is to pray for our political leaders. There may not be much for us to do as individuals, but we can request heavenly intervention for the affairs here down on earth. The following websites offer insights about how we can pray for and help our political leaders:
