When we struggle with mental pain we need to remember that God’s love and healing power are always with us. God understands our pain and wants to help us heal.
One way out of our mental pain is to read God’s Word carefully. When we pray God speaks to us and we find comfort. And when we pray we share our sorrows with God. Prayer is a way for us to calm our hearts as we share our sorrows with God.
Healing from mental anguish takes time and we need to be patient. We need to trust God and trust in His timing. During this time, we should not make any wrong decisions based on emotions. If we patiently wait for God’s timing, then God will definitely work in our lives.
God says in His Word that He will not give us more pain than we can bear. When we experience pain in our lives, God also provides an alternative way for us to overcome it. Therefore, we should follow the path shown by Him, depending completely on God. If we rely on our own wisdom, we will suffer.
In this life we all have to go through emotional pain at some point. We need to remember that this is a normal occurrence in life that happens to everyone. So let us look to the Word of God and rejoice in the hope of the beautiful days ahead. Then the sufferings of the present will not be able to destroy us.
