4 Ways to Understand the Mind of Christ in Depression or Anxiety
What does it mean to have the MIND of Christ, but struggle with a MENTAL health challenge like depression, anxiety, or other related challenges? Let's review four keys to discover an encouraging Biblical perspective that relates to depression, anxiety, and other mental health stressors.
What the Bible Says about Depression & Anxiety (and tools to minister grace and hope)
“Fight the good fight of faith, take hold of the eternal life to which you were called …” 1 Timothy 6:12
I have heard this scripture sometimes used as motivating counsel for people struggling with depression, anxiety and other life challenges. The premise is that life is a constant "spiritual battle" and we need to stay alert and motivated so "the enemy" doesn't destroy our lives. Other times I've heard this used to "fight" for new breakthroughs in your life.
Depression is Not the Sign of an Angry God, it's about grace.
"For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." This is the rebuke Jesus gave to his disciples, James and John, after a Samaritan village refused to welcome Jesus. The Samaritans were already "stigmatized" by the Jews and when they evaded a gesture of kindness, James and John were offended and had asked Jesus if they should "command fire to come down from heaven and consume them." An interesting story in Luke 9 (see v. 55).
