18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Psalm 34:18 NLT14 For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust. Psalm 103:14 NLT
2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 ESV
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32 CSB
6 When Jesus saw the man and knew that he had been sick for such a long time, Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be well?” John 5:6 NCV
Do you want to be healed? Powerful question that demands a response.
It’s no secret that we live in a fallen world. Be careful as you utter the words, “Things are going perfectly well.” That set of unforeseen circumstances is lurking around that next corner and you, my Friend, are as much a likely target as the rest of us.
There are those of us who have already been ‘hit,’ or are presently dealing with a set of issues that may not appear to be seen on the surface of our lives ~ and it’s a concealed chaos in the battlefield of our minds. If you are on the frontlines of a mental~emotional war zone or are living in the trenches fighting to get from one day to the next, I am praying for you, Friend. I get you.
But above all, Jesus gets you. And He is there with you.
Praise GOD that we live in an era where talking about mental health is no longer a stigma. However, you need to employ godly wisdom when choosing with whom you will share your heart. Not everyone you meet will handle it with care.
This impactful conversation led by Dr. Henry Cloud, licensed clinical psychologist, has the power to set you free, by setting you up to change the trajectory of your present situation. And I love the way he does this, by calling on Scripture and the examples of Jesus. It’s the only way I would navigate through the difficulties of crisis.
I encourage you to take the time to first listen to this in its entirety. Then take notes with your Bible in hand the second time around. Pray about your situation. Surrender it up to the Lord and ask Him to guide you to those He wants you to work with. Healing begins with the first step.
I love you to Heaven and Back, Girlfriend ~
