Faith & Mental Health: Finding Hope When You’re Overwhelmed

Life doesn’t always make sense. The heaviness of anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout can feel like too much to carry—especially when you’re trying to trust God in the middle of it all.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why can’t I shake this?” or felt ashamed for struggling as a believer, you’re not alone. We believe that Jesus meets us in the middle of our brokenness—not once we’ve fixed it. Your emotions don’t disqualify you from His love—they’re often the very place He starts healing.

This page is a perfect space. A place for you to find encouragement, Scripture, stories, and practical tools that speak to the intersection of faith and mental health. Whether you’re here looking for prayers, personal testimonies, or just someone to say “me too,”—we’re so glad you’re here.

Let’s walk this healing journey together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mental illness is not a sign of spiritual failure; it’s a part of living in a broken world, and God meets us right in the middle of it.

Start small. Start honest. You don’t need perfect words. Our Prayer Prompts and Journal Pages are designed to help you pray when words feel hard. You can even just say, “Jesus, help.” That’s more than enough.
