PTSD Resources:

Healing from trauma takes time, but support is available. If you or someone you love is struggling with PTSD, consider reaching out to:

⚔️A licensed mental health professional
⚔️ Trauma-informed counseling
⚔️Support groups and peer support
⚔️Trusted family members and friends
⚔️Faith communities and pastors
⚔️ Crisis resources such as the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline

Remember: Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Recovery is possible, and no one should have to walk this journey alone.

"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."—Galatians 6:2

What is bipolar disorder?

You can have great faith and still live with a mental illness.

Sometimes God chooses not to take the thorn out of your side because His grace is enough. Remember the apostle Paul when he begged and pleaded with God to take the thorn from him? While we do not know specifically what that thorn was, the apostle Paul describes it as “a messenger of Satan”(Roman’s 12:7). Three times he pleaded with the Lord to take it away. But he said to him…

“My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” This is why for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, I am strong.”

—Romans 12: 9-10

This is the Word of the Lord.
