Welcome to our service today. It is great to have you here and we would love to invite you to stay after the service and join us for tea and coffee.
Many diseases of both body and mind are self-inflicted. For example, ulcers are often caused by worry and anxiety. Heart attacks are caused many times by overexertion. Unjustified worry, fear, prejudice, hatred, and envy can contribute to mental stress, which can lead to mental illness. So one way to have a healthy mind is to avoid these practices. But the Bible’s way to a healthy mind is this, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” If you have the mind of Christ, worry will be offset by trust, hate by love, and fear by faith.
If you are struggling with this today, ask the Lord for help and pray this prayer “Fears sometimes seem as if they would overwhelm me, Lord Jesus, but then I remember Your gift of power, love, and a healthy mind. Thank You for the promise of healing and love, as I keep my mind on You. Amen”
With love & blessings,
