Depression and Mental Health Within The Church

Depression steals your joy and it drains your energy, it doesn’t remind you of how fearfully and wonderfully made you are because it makes you think you were an error within creation. Depression does not show you grace nor does it have mercy on your soul. – See more at: http://theprayingwoman.com/2015/06/24/depression-and-mental-health-within-the-church/#sthash.sVhMCnYm.mIqGfTFW.dpuf

Where are you, God ?| Spoken Word

An encouraging video by Matt Hammer.

When we are going through hard times or have questions, we need to remember that God is there with us. He will never leave us. He is in control. He promised He will always be there with us. It may look uncertain, frustrating, depressing, questionable or just plain bad but God is there beside us. To help us in the nick of time. He is a loving God. His thoughts and plans for us are thoughts to bring us joy and happiness not sorrow. So lets stick close to Him. Lets focus our gaze on Him and He will guide us into that perfect and beautiful plan and place He already has for us.

Worry Less

Worry does not change tomorrow. Instead, it strips us of today’s strength and causes us to lose sight of our goals. Worry takes focus out of the way.

Keep your focus on the word of God which is able to guide you along the way and remove worry.

Pray more and watch worry dissipate.

Defining Relationship

Proverbs 31 Ministries
This morning I stood in my closet and considered all the multiples — multiple shoes, multiple scarves and multiple purses. Too much stuff!

How have I gotten to this place again with a collection of more than I need? The most honest answer is that I use my things to define myself. I think my “perfect” purse makes me seem more perfect. I believe my cool shoes transfer their vibe to my persona. I hope my trendy scarf affirms my relevance.

It’s time to clean out! Not only do I not need so much, but years ago I learned a memorable lesson about the soul-cleansing power of simplifying.

God created us for connecting, not collecting. As I clean out my closet, I vow to hold my “stuff” loosely and be defined by the closeness of my relationships.

Lord, forgive me for my defining relationship with stuff. I want to be defined by You and my love for others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
