Of the Psyche: adventures in the mind…

  • Loneliness

    Loneliness is a state of mind brought on by circumstances that we might find ourselves in. God knows all about it and is in complete control. He is always on the throne.  Loneliness is thinking that no one cares, even though they obviously do! Gods sends the right people at the right time.  Loneliness is…

  • Seasonal Disorder

    I speak to many people who suffer the gloom of the winter months and find it quite a struggle to keep active. The cold atmosphere and the darkness of the days, being short in the winter, can be hard to cope with and hard to get motivation to do activities. The short day makes it…

  • The Christian sufferer

    It is a very different experience to suffer mind illness when we belong to the family of God. To experience deep depression and other disturbances in the mind is very frightening to the sufferer and to have no loving, powerful God in charge is very debilitating and causes much sorrow. Life is so uncertain and…

  • The contrite, stable heart

    The human heart is neither contrite nor stable. It is not our natural state of being but we wander and fall in all kinds of thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Our heart and mind – our psyche- is a wandering thing that find no real rest in anything. This is why we constantly search for novelty…

  • Adversity and affliction

    “Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! People of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help!…

  • Sin

    Such a short word with so devastating a meaning! Sin contaminates everything it touches and thoroughly ruins our lives, whether we see it or not. It is so endemic to us that we don’t always recognise its practice and effect on our life. We have a conscience to warn us of its presence, but we…

  • High

    Feeling high is the opposite side of the coin to depression. Depression is painful and destructive to joy and feeling happy with life. It steals all the good feelings that accompany this life and leave a dark hole in the mind that swallows up gladness and positivity. It is to be fought and avoided, but…

  • Repentance

    This phenomenon is key to our good mind health. If you are not humbling yourself before your maker every day, you will be out of sorts. Your mind will go to places you should not go and you will have no control over your thoughts. The truth is we need the Lord every day to…

  • The shed blood

    We do not naturally go along with the holy law of God nor acquiesce to His perfect ways. We carp and quibble against the God of eternity and pass our unrighteous judgment on Him as a person and on His ways. We are inclined to lift our psyche against Him and we are hostile to…

  • Victory over sin

    When we suffer either in the mind or the body, we can resort to world orientated thought processes and philosophies. We think that psychology has the answers, and some psychology is good but some is unhelpful. We can turn to false comforts in our time of need and create problems for ourselves. We can easily…
