We all want to flourish in our mental and emotional health but at times we deal with anxiety, depression, or compulsive behavior.
Grief, health problems, and trauma can evoke great psychological distress that can make it difficult for us to function.
Many of us have loved ones with mental health challenges.
If you or a loved one are struggling to remain emotionally balanced, mentally sharp, and at your best in your work or relationships please don’t feel ashamed!
It’s not a sin to struggle with your mental health.
You can stabilize and begin the road to improvement by reaching out for help and taking positive steps one day at a time.
You may need to talk to a therapist and/or spiritual director to begin getting healthier emotionally, relationally, and spiritually.
We tell people, “You’ll get help when you and I join God in caring for you.”
Your faith in God may not feel strong. That’s okay. All you need is a mustard seed sized faith in a BIG God who totally loves you (Luke 17:5-6).
The best place to see God is to look at Jesus in the Gospels. It’s heart-warming and inspiring to see how he cares for the hurting and those on the margins of society.
A man talked to the Lord and we read, “Jesus looked at him and loved him” (Mark 10:21).
Can you see Jesus looking at you with a warm smile? This is the beginning of flourishing in your mental health.
If you need focused empathy, prayer, and guidance you can talk with one of the spiritual directors on Soul Shepherding’s staff. Comment SD to get started ❤️
