Many, perhaps even you, are having great difficulty coping with a whole range of disappointments, griefs or failures and even wonder if life is worth living. You’ve tried many sensible and not so sensible things, but nothing provides the mental stability you crave.

I want to urge you to deeply consider God’s perfect peace plan for your mental well-being. Here’s a thirteen-fold package of great things Christianity has to offer in this respect: (1) Effective tools for overcoming destructive emotions; (2) A solution to guilt; (3) A solution to worthlessness and lack of identity; (4) A loving family; (5) Supernatural strength (God’s) to deal with things human resources have failed to resolve; (6) Daily purpose and activities to keep you meaningfully occupied and bring joy and satisfaction; (7) Exciting long-term hope to look forward to and to motivate you to endure life’s troubles; (8) A special restful day of the week to look forward to every week; (9) A helpful framework for understanding why the world is like it is and for believing why violence and suffering will finally end one day; (10) Wise proverbs and teachings for healthy and happy living; (11) Accountability to a loving God; (12) Power over satanic/demonic influences on the mind; and best of all; (13) The greatest leader, Saviour and role model ever – Jesus the Christ.
