Finding your tribe is another key to healing from mental illness. Listen to Deborah share her story of using this key to help unlock her healing from mental illness.
What Does The Bible Say?
When God made Adam, even before sin, He looked at Adam and said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him” (Genesis 2:18). Nothing has changed! Read the additional verses below and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you about what Deborah has shared, “who is my tribe?”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12,
“9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Acts 2:42-47 NIV – “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”
Reflect
- Are you living in community? Why or why not?
- Are there any relationships you should ask the Lord to bring into your life that you need?
- Are there any relationships you need to let go of? Why?
