SOUND MIND OVER DEPRESSION

Oct 19, 2025 • REV.DR.GEORGE ADDAE-MINTAH

In this powerful message, we explore the profound truth found in 2 Timothy 1:7 - 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.' This scripture serves as the foundation for understanding how we can choose a sound mind over depression. We're reminded that a sound mind is a gift from God, packaged with fearlessness, power, and love. The message emphasizes that our belief systems, particularly those grounded in God's truth, play a crucial role in maintaining mental health. Through the story of Elijah's struggle with depression in 1 Kings 19, we see how even great prophets can face mental challenges. This narrative teaches us the importance of self-care, proper nutrition, and accepting help from others. As we reflect on Elijah's journey, we're encouraged to confront our own negative beliefs, embrace our God-given value, and lean on the support systems He provides for us.
