If you put your hand over your heart, you feel your heart beating, and that means something powerful. It means that God still has a purpose for your life.
But that doesn't mean we won't experience the darkness of our world in ways that affect us physically, spiritually, and mentally. The statistics around Americans struggling with suicidal thoughts are staggering, and they're more than numbers—they're people. Maybe even people we know.
But mental illness is a comment on your chemicals, not your Christianity. God has the power to make something beautiful out of brokenness.
Scripture shows us that we don't have to hide from our struggles or pretend they aren't there. We can face them head on because we have a God who loves us, who understands us, and who has the power to bring hope and healing.
May we, Church, be a safe community to dive into the tough topics and walk alongside each other in the burdens. It's a lighter weight when carried together.
