More of us than ever are struggling with mental health challenges – suicide and self-harm, worry and anxiety, stress and burnout, and depression. Everybody is either struggling with some of this stuff or knows someone who is. It’s time to be honest about our mental health.
Everyday, people struggle through their day, held captive by mental health challenges like stress, worry, anxiety, burnout, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and depression. No one is exempt. Either you’re carrying the burden yourself or you know someone who is. God wants so much for us! He came to set the captive free…and that includes mentally AND emotionally. When it comes to mental health, being honest with what we are battling with is important.
In a previous series, The Crossing went deeper in sharing about different mental health challenges each week during a message series called Weeds In My Garden. During this series, we identified ways we can find help and hope in each situation through Jesus. Bookmark this page for practical tools, new resources and shares positive affirmations and prayers to walk alongside you and the ones you love in your mental health journey.
If you or someone you know needs immediate help, please contact 911 and a mental health professional. These resources below are designed to help, but they are not designed to be used in an emergency or dire cases.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (see verses 25-34 for more)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
Join us on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth, as we learn to uproot the weeds of anxiety, depression, and stress from our mental garden, and cultivate a life of purpose and hope in our Sessions Podcast series.
Parents, you're not alone! We've also created resources that will assist you with your kids.
“Praise be to the God, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2 Cor. 1:3-4
