Anchored in Christ: Finding Stability Amidst Mental TurmoilNäide

Day 5: Jonah’s Anger
Jonah’s story reveals another aspect of mental health—anger and resentment towards others’ experiences of grace. After preaching repentance in Nineveh and witnessing their turnaround, Jonah becomes angry at God’s mercy towards them instead of judgment.
God uses a plant to teach Jonah about compassion versus selfishness. This narrative encourages us to examine our own hearts regarding jealousy or bitterness we may harbor against others’ blessings or forgiveness.
Reflection Questions:
- Are there people or situations where you struggle with anger or resentment?
- How can understanding God’s grace transform your perspective?
Prayer: Lord, help me release any anger I hold against others. Teach me compassion as You have shown me grace.
Pühakiri
About this Plan

Mental health is a vital aspect of overall well-being, and it encompasses emotional, psychological, and social dimensions. For Christians, understanding mental health involves recognizing that struggles with mental illness do not reflect spiritual failure or lack of faith. Instead, these challenges can be seen as part of the human experience in a fallen world. The Bible offers insights into the nature of suffering and encourages believers to seek help and support. This devotional guides you through various stories that inspire hope and faith in the midst of mental turmoil.
