40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 12
TALK: “Addressing Mental Health" by Elder Erich Kopischke
JESUS CHRIST:
“I testify that Jesus Christ is our Savior. He knows us. He loves us, and He will wait on us. During our family’s trials, I have come to know just how close He is. His promises are true”
-Erich Kopischke
SCRIPTURE:
“Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed.”
-Doctrine and Covenants 123:17
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“Even though our family has enjoyed rich blessings while joyfully walking the covenant path, we have also faced exceedingly high mountains. ..These include clinical depression, severe anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD—and sometimes a combination of them all…mental illness…is worldwide, covering every continent and culture, and affecting all—young, old, rich, and poor.”
-Erich Kopischke
INVITATION TO ACT:
“I invite you to study the topic of mental health in the Life Help section of the Gospel Library app. Learning will lead to more understanding, more acceptance, more compassion, more love. It can lessen tragedy while helping us develop and manage healthy expectations and healthy interactions.”
-Erich Kopischke
PROMISED BLESSING:
“the Savior loves each of His Father’s children. He fully comprehends the pain and struggle that many experience as they live with a broad range of mental health challenges. He suffered ‘pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind; … [taking] upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people’ Because He understands all afflictions, He knows how ‘to heal the brokenhearted”
–Mental Health: General Principles (churchofjesuschrisr.org)
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- How can I show more empathy, love, and compassion to others?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
BOOK LEARNERS: In the Gospel Library App, under Life Help, study the section on “Mental Health” to find ways to help those I love and serve.
MY THOUGHTS:
Jesus Christ knows how to heal. Jesus Christ totally understands. Surround ourselves with good people, focus on growth and hold fast to our covenants.
