Greetings, Precious Family:

May the Peace of the Lord be with you.

Family, you may have noticed over the past few nights that I’ve been speaking a lot about mental health and Christianity. What they look like, and more importantly, how they live together. Tomorrow, we will begin a five-day series centered on this very topic.

Before we step into that, there is something I need you to hear clearly, something I pray settles deep in your spirit:

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Just because someone carries a mental health diagnosis, or is walking through seasons of anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm, it does not mean they are weak in faith. It does not mean they are distant from God. And it certainly does not disqualify them from a deep, meaningful relationship with Christ Jesus.

Labels may describe experience but they do not define identity.

You are not your anxious thoughts.
You are not your heavy days.
You are not the moments when it feels hard to get up, speak up, or even pray. (Sounds like an India Arie song)

You are still chosen.
Still covered.
Still deeply loved by God.

Over the next five days, we are going to walk this out together honestly, gently, and with grace. We will talk about what it means to trust God while also tending to our minds.

We will make space for both faith and feelings, without forcing one to silence the other. Because the truth is God is not intimidated by your emotions. He meets you right in the middle of them.

This is just the beginning. Tomorrow, we take our first step together into a deeper conversation one where faith meets real life, and where healing is not rushed, but revealed.

Thank you, as always, for walking with me as I share my journey on the Path. I understand if mental health does affect you directly, but you may know someone who is affected.

I look forward to tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening.

Scripture Passage of the Day

Isaiah 26:3
New International Version
3 You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.

Let Us Pray

Tonight, we come before You just as we are—no masks, no pressure, no pretending. You see every thought, every emotion, every place where we feel strong, and every place where we feel stretched thin.

Lord, I lift up every person reading this who may be carrying something heavy in their mind or heart. Remind them that they are not broken, and they are not alone. Quiet the lies that try to tell them otherwise, and replace them with Your truth.

Teach us how to trust You with our thoughts, not just our circumstances. When our minds feel overwhelmed, be our peace. When our emotions feel loud, be our steady place.
Help us to rest tonight knowing that You are near and that You are not intimidated by what we feel, and You are not distant from what we’re facing.

As we prepare to step into this new journey tomorrow, give us open hearts, willing spirits, and the courage to walk in both faith and honesty.

We place our minds in Your hands tonight, Lord, trusting that You will keep us in perfect peace as we keep our eyes on You. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer as we lift them to you, our Chief Intercessor, Savior, and friend.

And we let it be…And so it is.

Amen, Amen, and Amen
