Get the appAnchored in Christ: Finding Stability Amidst Mental TurmoilНамуна
Day 6: Jesus’ Agony
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus faces overwhelming sorrow as He anticipates His crucifixion. He prays fervently, sweating drops like blood—a physiological response indicating extreme stress or anxiety. Despite His anguish, Jesus submits His will to the Father.
This moment emphasizes that experiencing mental anguish does not equate weakness; rather it shows strength through vulnerability before God. Jesus models how prayer can be a source of strength during trials.
Reflection Questions:
- When have you felt overwhelmed by circumstances? How did you cope?
- In what ways can surrendering your will lead to peace?
Prayer: Jesus, thank You for showing us how to bring our burdens before God in prayer. Help me find strength in surrendering my worries into Your hands.

About this Plan
Mental health is a vital aspect of overall well-being, and it encompasses emotional, psychological, and social dimensions.

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.
