When was the last time you said to yourself, “I am about to lose my mind”. If you have ever said this than you are not alone, not only are you not alone you are on track for a blessing.

The feeling of “losing your mind” comes out of frustration. You’re frustrated because either everything that you do, does not work or it takes too long to see results. You have tried everything in your power to make things happen in your life and in the life of the people you love. Well my advice to you would be go on ahead “lose your mind” actually it’s the best idea you’ve had in a long time.

Now you are at the point where you can let go and let God. Philippians 2:5 says let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. The only way you can get the mind of God is by losing yours. Surrendering all of your thoughts, plans, and ideas to the one who formed you in the womb, will allow God’s purpose and plans to invade your life.

The bible tells us that you can not put new wine into old wine skins, in other words God can not
put something new in you as long as you continue to hold on to that old mind set. Mental illness has
been defined as a disease that causes mild to severe disturbance in thinking, perception and behavior. Disturbances that significantly impair a person’s ability to cope with life’s ordinary demands and routines. I define mental illness as a illness that is a direct result from trying to make decisions, cope and live outside of God.

So, I would say to you again if you feel like you are about to lose your mind, good idea, go ahead, lose it!
