“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” Psalm 42:11
We live in a fallen world with an enemy that never quits. With that said, it is important for us to understand that we have authority in Christ as believers. This is an essential part of living free and
staying free. As Christ-followers, we have been tasked with bringing Heaven’s rule and reign to earth. The word “authority” means “delegated power,” which means the value of our authority rests in power behind it. Matthew 28:18 says, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” When we put our faith in Christ, His authority is our authority. This is great news because the God of the universe is the power behind our authority. When we understand this and know how to exercise that authority, we can face the enemy fearlessly.
Now that we are aware that we have this authority, this God-given Christian authority, it’s time we put it to use. Job 22:28 says, “You will declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so the light will shine on your ways.” This sounds great however, there’s still this thing called “mental health.” How do you practice coping skills when challenges arise? This is one treason why God mentioned the word “counsel” throughout the bible. He understood that for many, counsel is needed to support you. Who supports you with self-discovery, personal development, and awareness?
Considering one in five Americans lives with a mental illness, one in twenty-five has a severe mental illness, and many of these people never get the help they need. These statistics also do not
consider the many hospitalizations and programs many individuals have been through, they go home, and the cycle continues, i.e., anxiety, depression, gaslighting, isolation, social thoughts, intrusive thoughts, and more. Our therapist cultivates a sense of safety, community, and sustainable recovery for people recovering from mental illness.
As a result, treating serious mental illness requires proper assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Our in-house therapist at NuWell Counseling Services is available and on-call for all our community members near and far. We work towards building a foundation for your recovery success. From day one, you’ll have access to the best support.
Individual therapy is an essential component of addressing your mental health issues, so ensure proper treatment. Therapy can help you feel supported as you learn more about your mental illness and identify healthy coping skills that support your recovery. NuWell Counseling Services also provides support for families and couples who want to better themselves.
