Each year, May is Mental Health Awareness Month. In a way, I don’t like to term Mental Health because of stigma. The brain is part of our physical bodies, so just as one might struggle with asthma, another may struggle with depression, anxiety, etc.
Question- Do you think Jesus understands emotional issues?
On the night Jesus was arrested, he shared with his disciples in Matthew 26:
Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
We also know from Luke 22 that while he was praying he was filled with anguish.
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Jesus experienced anguish and sorrow while he was on earth. So when we come to him in prayer, we come to someone who understands our emotional state.
I admit to having some anguish because tomorrow is my second surgery on the same knee. I am not looking forward to what comes after.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
