Lay Aside Every Weight

It is Mental Health Awareness Month and I'm excited to be talking about mental, emotional, spiritual health. The theme for this month is Look Around, Look Within, which is a theme from the Mental Health America website. This organization also has a mental health screening where you can get a mental health status on different mental health issues. The website is mhascreening.org

It is important to look into your environment (work, home, church, finances, community, relationships, etc.) and see if it is having an impact on your mental health in a good way or a bad way. It is also important to look within yourself to determine what you need to do to make sure you are in good standing mentally and emotionally. You don't have to suffer in silence. Help is available. 

Scripture Reference:
"Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV
