It can feel very lonely struggling with mental health challenges. This can often be a side of us we don’t like to share or let people in on. But scripture does not shy away from embracing those challenges and speaking to them. From Noah, to Elijah, to Jonah, to the Psalmist, to Jesus, to Paul, there are many stories that show two things can be true: We can struggle with mental health, and we can have a good relationship with God. Our mental health challenges are not a sign of weakness or a poor faith.
