The video is not meant to be an exhaustive picture of mental health difficulties.
Granted there can be a delicate balance between organic / genetic issues, an external spiritual attack on a Christian's vulnerabilities by the enemy, part of the sanctification process (renewing the mind), that can be improved and stabilized by growth in the Word of God and prayer.
But some issues are more complex.
God can heal our ailments in an instant if it is His Will and He may do this..
But sometimes He doesn’t.
Sometimes in the mystery of His providence He uses our trials for a much greater purpose.
What we are promised is that God will be faithful through every storm we face.
If you know someone who struggles with their mental health, please be longsuffering with them and come alongside to support them.
Are you personally affected by this issue?
Please seek out a Biblically sound friend / pastor or counsellor.
If you feel you can, please leave a comment under this video and share what you have been through / how God has helped you in these trials.
Here are some Bible verses for your encouragement:
