Day 12 – Mental well-being
Monday’s English conversation and English conversation Bible class has come around yet again. Our subject for the Bible conversation class was a very practical one for daily life.
Many years ago I wrote a book called A Life Truly Worth Living - God’s perfect peace plan for your mental well-being. We talked a little about the thirteen-fold package of great mental health helps Christianity has to offer covered in this book, namely:
(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 on your side – Jesus the Christ, who lives in you to strengthen and comfort you through the Holy Spirit.
If mental health is an area you are struggling with, consider God’s perfect peace plan for your mental well-being. I am happy to email you a copy of my book, or you can peruse it at www.churchofgodslove.com under the Book/articles heading.
Have a blessed day!
