TUESDAY: HEALING THE BODY AND MIND Matthew 6:19–34, 1 Peter 5:7, 2 Corinthians 4:7–10, Philippians 4:4–9, 1 John 3:20–22. Through physical healing and mental restoration, Jesus made disciples. Often Christ’s patients suffered both mental and physical diseases. Physical restoration itself was never the final objective. The ultimate goal was always discipleship. Healing could provide twenty, fifty, perhaps seventy-five additional quality years. Discipleship offered eternal life with Christ. Physical sickness is sometimes caused by mental stimuli. The relationship between mind and body is well established by medical science. Anxiety predisposes some to stomach problems. Worry causes sleep disorders. Uncontrollable anger factors into heart disease. Teaching people about mental-health principles should highlight the importance of trusting God, naturally leading them toward personal spiritual commitment and full discipleship. IN WHAT WAYS CAN YOU TRUST THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR WORRIES?
