Project 365 – Day 16
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2
Our culture has shined a much needed spotlight on the importance of mental health in recent years and as someone who has battled various mental health issues and strongholds throughout my life, I’m grateful that the conversation has been opened up and a sense of loneliness has been lifted for so many people, including myself. However, the problem I have always had with many therapy or rehabilitation programs is the emphasis on “self-help” and “behavior-modification.”
The more and more I’ve studied God’s Word, it’s become very clear to me that sin isn’t a behavior issue, it’s a heart issue and sometimes can even be a chemical or hormonal issue. God doesn’t tell us to “get it together” and “figure it out” on our own. He actually tells us to come to Him in total surrender, get to know His Word, cling to Him and other believers while walking in obedience and work on renewing our hearts and our minds. Becoming more like Him is a daily walk that we will continue to navigate until we are reunited with Him. Here are some resources I have found to be super helpful in my own healing journey! I’d love to pray for & with you while we do the work, friend!
“I can’t do anything on my own. As I listen to the Father, I make my judgments. My judgments are right because I don’t try to do what I want but what the one who sent me wants.” John 5:30
