Can people be stripped from their anxiety…their distresses and all their baggage? Take off their robes of depression, removing the tightly fastened helmet of suicidal thoughts? Can they even lay down the cell phones?
The crafty one has successfully placed heavy burdens on so many with the issues of life. The sneaky slithering snake is oppressing so many people to the highest degree. His cunning and subtle voice is at its highest volume.
Stress is now a new normal and the inability to be still or to silence one’s thoughts is at its highest peak. It is an all consuming plague in our society.
Grief and loss…violence and anger…hatred and deception, and an unspoken amount of unmet expectations, childhood traumas... All these things, issues and circumstances are dominating the culture.
Please unveil the human eyes and give them a 20/20 perspective. A glimmer of hope. Putting the choice of freedom before them, without any emotional distortion or blurry-eyed misconceptions.
Making it crystal clear, like never before that the key to unlocking their mental breakthrough and yes, even bondage, is not only free and available, but also immediate and eternal.
With a cry out to the Prince of Peace. With a willingness to take the initial first step of faith on their part. When they fully surrender, doing their part…You will meet them there. Then You will take it from there.
This world that we live in is populated with over seven billion people. And that in no way includes the sounds of life, the animals, houses, automobiles, structures, factories and so forth…
So what makes the human being think that we don't have to be intentional about carving some alone time, some quiet time, some time to be absolutely still?
To silence all those thoughts, worries, fears and put them in their right perspective. Then decide to embrace truth, wholeness and peace. Purge everything else and hold tight to just the good, the healthy.
(Mental health is very real. Medication is a ginormous help. Our emotions are indeed valid and continually changing. Skilled psychiatrist and counselors have been trained and put in place to help us. #But also, there is a Greater Physician).
