• 0:44
  Good morning, everyone. Let's start our week with a mind and a spirit.
• 0:49
  That is the title for today's episode. If you don't know who we are,
• 0:53
  this is Have Faith, Let It Begin. My name is Angel.
• 0:55
  I'm your host, and we are here for you, the daily commuter, with motivational
• 0:59
  topics, inspirational stories, and personal testimony. We're set out to change the world.
• 1:05
  Mind and Spirit. That's the tone, calm, and spiritual grounding that we're going
• 1:12
  to start with today and start the week.
• 1:15
  Whether you're driving to work, sipping your morning coffee,
• 1:18
  or just trying to catch your breath from a long weekend, I want to remind you that you're not alone.
• 1:24
  Today's episode is called, again, Mind and Spirit.
• 1:27
  We're going to talk about the connection between our mental health and our faith
• 1:32
  and how caring for one helps heal the other.
• 1:36
  Well, I'm gonna share some personal experience here. Real experience, of course.
• 1:42
  Maybe a season when stress and exhaustion.
• 1:48
  Made it hard to pray. Or when you're questioned or been questioned or you feel
• 1:55
  like you're questioning whether God was still near.
• 1:57
  Boy, I remember those days as I walk away from the microphone just a second there.
• 2:02
  Boy, I want to talk to you about prayer. Because rest, stepping away from the
• 2:09
  noise, helped restore peace.
• 2:11
  Your peace. My peace. You see, there was a time that I thought I had to carry
• 2:16
  it all. Work, family, expectations.
• 2:19
  Even my faith. Like I...
• 2:22
  Like I had to earn peace. But the truth is, peace isn't earned, it's given.
• 2:28
  God was waiting for me to stop doing and start being still.
• 2:32
  In Philippians 4, verses 6-7, do not be anxious about anything,
• 2:37
  but in every situation, by prayer and petition and thanksgiving,
• 2:43
  present your request to God.
• 2:46
  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts
• 2:52
  and your minds in Jesus Christ.
• 2:55
  It doesn't say anxiety won't come, by the way.
• 2:58
  It says peace will follow when you trust God with everything.
• 3:04
  You know, as I was preparing for this, a couple of things I jotted down.
• 3:09
  Faith and mental health are not enemies.
• 3:12
  They walk hand in hand.
• 3:14
  Therapy, prayer, rest, worship, all are tools God gives us for healing.
• 3:21
  We serve a God who understands pain, stress, and emotion. Oh, he knows it.
• 3:26
  And when you take care of your mind, you also honor your creator.
• 3:32
  Yeah, Heavenly Father, isn't that the truth? Encourage our...
• 3:37
  Our friends and families, each and every day, as you listen,
• 3:41
  to take one peaceful action today, that's my encouragement to you,
• 3:45
  is to pray, to walk, to breathe, and rest without guilt if you're feeling it.
• 3:51
  Let's pray. Heavenly Father, we come to you in our moments of noise,
• 3:56
  of racing through our thoughts and restless hearts.
• 4:00
  Help us to remember that you are calm in every single storm.
• 4:03
  Teach us to breathe deeply To pray freely And to rest comfortably And completely
• 4:09
  in you May our minds be renewed And our spirits restored We pray this unto you
• 4:16
  In the name of the Father,
• 4:16
  Son, and Holy Spirit In Jesus' name we pray Amen,
• 4:20
  Thank you for spending this morning with me Remember, your peace is not gone
• 4:24
  It's waiting in God's hands.
• 4:28
  Because you matter And never forget Have faith?
• 4:33
  Let it begin. See you tomorrow.
