The Light

<p>What does the resurrection mean for us personally? I just got saved recently, and now they say I need the gift of tongues to be truly saved! Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler, "Why do you call me good?"? Are there two final judgments or only one? What will it be like? My son has joined a cult, and I'm asking you to pray for him!</p>

<p data-start="14" data-end="446">Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or mentally exhausted? Psalm 143:7–8 reminds us that we can be honest with God about our mental health, trusting Him to meet us in our struggles and guide us toward peace and healing. David’s prayer is raw and unfiltered—he doesn’t hide his pain, and neither should we. God isn’t asking for polished prayers; He invites us to come as we are, even when our thoughts feel heavy and our spirits feel weak.</p> <p data-start="448" data-end="934">Being honest with God is not a sign of weak faith—it’s actually evidence of trust. When we stop trying to hide or “fix” ourselves before approaching Him, we open the door for real connection and healing. God already knows what we’re carrying, and He cares deeply about every part of us—including our mental and emotional well-being. As we bring our struggles to Him, He often provides support through His Word, His presence, and even through people and resources He places in our lives.</p> <hr data-start="936" data-end="939"> <p data-start="850" data-end="1103" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Highlights</p> <ul data-start="957" data-end="1381"> <li data-section-id="eab4wb" data-start="957" data-end="1011">God welcomes honesty about mental health struggles</li> <li data-section-id="1ynjio9" data-start="1012" data-end="1073">You don’t need to “clean up” your emotions before praying</li> <li data-section-id="e4z784" data-start="1074" data-end="1139">Vulnerability with God strengthens your relationship with Him</li> <li data-section-id="1uxq828" data-start="1140" data-end="1191">Struggling mentally is not a sign of weak faith</li> <li data-section-id="1rwgktk" data-start="1192" data-end="1254">God’s love interrupts cycles of fear and negative thinking</li> <li data-section-id="9hox4o" data-start="1255" data-end="1324">Healing may include guidance through people and practical support</li> <li data-section-id="1og3eo3" data-start="1325" data-end="1381">God is present with you, even in your lowest moments</li> </ul> <p data-start="850" data-end="1103" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node=""><strong data-start="850" data-end="875">Do you want to listen ad-free?</strong></p> <p data-start="850" data-end="1103" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">When you join Crosswalk Plus, you gain access to exclusive, in-depth Bible study guides, devotionals, sound biblical advice, and daily encouragement from trusted pastors and authors—resources designed to strengthen your faith and equip you to live it out boldly.

Do not hide your face from me or I will be like those who go down to the pit. Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” - Psalm 143:7-8, NIV</p> <p>At<a href="https://wellbeing.gmu.edu/"> George Mason University’s Center for the Advancement of Well-Being</a>, I work on university-wide well-being initiatives – including programs designed to break down the stigma of struggling with mental health. We believe that talking openly about mental health struggles can help all people strengthen their well-being. In Psalm 143:7-8, King David is completely honest about how much he’s struggling with his mental health. He prays about it without holding back, and he tells God that he trusts him to help. </p> <p>If you’re also struggling with your mental health, you might feel like you have to try to fix your m

<p>In this opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers to a life of urgent, persistent prayer by pointing to Hannah’s example in 1 Samuel. Her suffering did not lead to bitterness but to brokenness before God—and that brokenness became the pathway to divine blessing. Scripture reveals that God alone hears and answers, and He honors those who seek Him with repentant, surrendered hearts. Hannah’s prayer produced Samuel, a servant in God’s redemptive plan leading to Christ, the Savior. This message confronts complacency and calls the Church to return to fervent intercession, trusting the authority of God’s Word and His sovereign power to accomplish His purposes for His Kingdom.</p>

The Bible says one reason we have so many failures in life is because we think we're stronger than we really are. Join Pastor Rick as he explains how God's mercy helps you trust in God's strength, not your own.
