It’s not a substitute for professional medical attention for severe mental health issues, but prayer can support a strong spiritual practice and a healthy mental state. God reveals to us in the Bible that He does not expect us to be perfect. Humans encounter struggles, and these are often mental and emotional. Spending time with Bible verses for mental health, especially through praying lectio divina, can help us strength our connection with our Creator and feel more confident to ask for help when we need it.
