Summary

An alarming report from one research group noted, “Our nation is facing a new public health threat…feelings of anxiety and depression have grown to levels where virtually no one can ignore what is happening.” Today, we consider the help available for our mental health. In this letter to the Philippian church, Paul gives us five steps that will improve our mental health.

I. Rejoice in the Presence of God

II. Rely on the Power of God

III. Recall the Provision of God

IV. Rest in the Peace of God

V. Reflect on the Purpose of God

Talk with God: Ask the Lord to guide your steps and provide wisdom and clarity as you seek to improve your mental health in accordance with Scripture.

Talk with others: If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or another mental health issue, ask a pastor, ministry leader, or mentor for prayer and practical support.

Talk with kids: How were the people disobeying God’s commands?

0:44.9	Who knows?
0:45.3	They might say taco in Chinese or something, but we think it is help, and we're looking at different areas in the Christian life where we need help. Of course,
