I was reading an article on depression and stress titled, “Drowning in Chaos? A New Mindset Can Protect Against Depression, Stress” found in Drugs.com MedNews. (Link Below)
It was the title “Drowning in Chaos?” that grabbed my attention. Researchers say, “Changing your mindset can help protect you from the stress caused by disease outbreaks, wildfires, earthquakes, political uproars and traumatic life events.”
They added, “Mindsets are the core beliefs, attitudes and assumptions that serve as a foundation for how people see and engage with the world … These mental ‘lenses’ can dramatically change how events affect a person.”
As I read through the article, I thought the researchers were a bit behind. God provided those truths centuries ago! And God’s truths hold true in the secular world as well.
God told us to change our mindsets through the renewing of our minds in Romans 12:1-2.
God promised that He will cause “everything to work together for the good of those who love [Him] and are called according to His purpose for them.” [Romans 8:28]
Jesus let us know that “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” [John 16:32-33]
When we allow our minds to filter the chaos of this world through God’s truths and principles, we truly can protect against depression and stress.
