Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
Mark 5:34
“How has 2020 impacted your overall health?” This was the question we wrestled with this past Sunday. How has 2020 impacted your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health? With all the catastrophes that have happened this year, it’s enough to make anyone spiral into anxiety, depression, or madness. Pretending like these happenings don’t effect us is not only unhealthy but detrimental. But the good news is, this is precisely why Jesus came. He came not simply to cure the world, but to heal it. Healing, unlike curing, is active, is holistic, and brings peace. As my friend and colleague Bethany McKinney Fox wisely said, “Healing is not the same as curing.”
And remember to show yourself some TLC: Take notice of your body, Lean into meaningful relationships, and Connect with God daily.
