"Fix your thoughts..."
~ Philippians 4:8
It turns out that feelings often follow thoughts.
Anxiety,
sadness,
anger,
fear,
and other feelings,
are often the symptoms of negative thought patterns.
This must be why the bible is so adamant about fixing our thoughts-
fixing them on the truth of God,
and the love of Jesus,
and the power of the Holy Spirit.
This Sunday we'll apply some CBT-
Christian Biblical Truth-
to the negative thoughts that can take hold of our hearts and minds.
"Cast all your anxiety on Him
because He cares for you."
~ 1 Peter 1:7
We've all said it...
"I'm Fine."
Actually, I'm not.
You're not.
No one is "just fine."
We all have anxieties, struggles, temptations and more.
If you think you're alone, you're not.
If you believe asking for help is weakness, it's not.
If you've been told that Christians don't need counseling,
that you just need to pray about it more,
that it's unfaithful to take medication...
That's wrong.
Throughout May we will be talking about the intersection of faith and mental health. The bible has much to say about the mental health and wellness.
