How Important Is Mental Health?

Mental Health is very important in every stage of life.

Simply, mental health is:

How to act
How to feel
How to think
How to learn
How to communicate
How to relate to others
How we respond to what life throws our way

Mental Health reflects our ability to balance happiness and sadness, to enjoy good things, to accept and address bad things, to achieve normal, comfortable relationships with a broad number of people in our daily lives.

Mental Health Daily Encouragement

The Lord enables us to help and love one another.

"Mark 12:31" - LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF!

Trusting the Lord to make away is the key in life, its not always easy but it works!

"Proverbs 3:5-6" - TRUST THE LORD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART. DON'T DEPEND ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. REMEMBER THE LORD IN EVERYTHING YOU DO. AND HE WILL GIVE YOU SUCCESS!

At times we think that we have all the answers in life but we don't!

PROVERBS 3:7 - DON'T DEPEND ON YOUR OWN WISDOM. RESPECT THE LORD AND REFUSE TO DO WRONG.

Yes we are "Human" and make mistakes but there is always a second chance to get it right!

2 PETER 3:9 - THE LORD IS NOT SLOW TO FULFILL HIS PROMISE AS SOME COUNT SLOWNESS, BUT IS PATIENT TOWARD YOU, NOT WISHING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, BUT THAT ALL SHOULD REACH REPENTANCE.

But 1st we have to forgive anyone who has hurt and ask for us to be forgiven as well.
