Overcoming Thoughts of Suicide and Self-Harm

God wants us to prosper and be in health, including our soul and mental well-being. Mental wellness is essential because it affects how we think, feel, and act. It influences how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. In this plan, we will show the benefits of prioritizing mental wellness and how it helps individuals lead balanced, fulfilling lives & contributes to healthier communities.

It Is Well

When we are hurting or going through a difficult season, we might feel alone and abandoned. It might feel as if God isn't listening to our cries for help or that He doesn't care about our pain. Yet, throughout Scripture God communicates that He is with us, sees us, loves us deeply, empathizes with our pain, and still has good plans for us. He invites us to draw close to Him in times of hardship, receive His comfort, and hold tight to His unchanging truth.

This devotional reading plan invites you to walk through the depths of grief and hope alongside the biblical story and the hauntingly honest art of Rembrandt.

Let Rembrandt’s journey and the truth of God’s Word guide you through lament, healing, and the quiet strength of enduring love.
