Is There a Connection Between Mental Health and Faith

Hello, Hello, Hello Pattern Realm, Today I want to answer the question Is there a connection between Mental Health and Faith? But I want to do it in a Socratic way. 
'there is no yes no toggle switch 
'it depends is considered not an answer 
'the answer lies within this equation Needs*Faith=Motivation 
     I will attempt to answer this question using insights from the passage of 2nd Corinthians chapter 12: 5-10

     No one really knows what the apostle Paul's Thorn in the flesh was.  But when I began to study the passage in-depth beginning in February of 2000 I began to conclude in my own self that it was some form of mental anguish.  I have believed that my thorn in the flesh is loneliness.  However this gave me a thirst to be more like heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  6 months later I began a serious study of the doctrines of the restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and thus begin the answer of how to alleviate my foreign in the flesh. 
     Whatever it be whether a physical disability or mental illness or both God doesn't always remove that born in the flesh.  He alleviates it.  No one knows what the apostle Paul's Born in the flesh was but the fact of the matter is we can still learn that we each have one. 
     Bible scholars in the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints believe that Paul spoke of the foreign in the flesh metaphorically to represent suffering. 
     So is there a connection between mental health and faith?  I have discovered that through my church attendance and evenings with the missionaries that there is a deep connection but you must draw your own conclusions 

In Christ

Guard The Door to Your Heart

Good day Pat and Realm      This blog today happens to cover what I see is almost sensitive subject, A subject where someone who is lonely let someone into their circle of friendship only to find out that that person betrayed him.      I will not use his real name in my blogs or my podcaster videos but suffice it to say let's just call him Sam.      I met human savory this year and we were getting along so well communicating like about subjects like business and leadership all seem to be looking good.    In Mark however friends and family when they would see him come over saw warning signs based on his freaking sieved ideas and believes which for contrary to mine.  My sister and my best friend urge for me to stay away from him.     And then in mid-April out of meeting he delivered a long speech at reactive diatribe if you will that hurt very deeply everyone that was present.      I was hoping that he wo...

The Cry of The Herd

Hi Pattern Realm, Jimmy is on autopilot, so you're stuck with me on this post.      Dreamers nowadays often feel more isolated because of the cry of The Herd.  "Everybody's doing it" has been a catch phrase for 6 decades and it seems to be getting worse.       Herdthink or is President Donald Trump is finally putting it groupthink is a concept with people full of dream steamers.  Don't let the herd come out and steal your dream have confidence to blaze your own path.       The herd seems to have its own thinking of what's right and wrong with a world ever turning gray.  But it doesn't matter to ole JR.  Wrong is wrong and right is right.  In Christ  JR EYP

Mass Media for Entrepreneurs

Hello Pattern Realm       This topic has been pretty strong on my mind all morning and so this afternoon I figured I would sit down and talk about the various mass media which entrepreneurs can use.       It's customary for most people to think all of the things that the only media outlet is for entrepreneurs to be in social media. That's all and good but here's the is the reasonable question.   What mass media can be best suited for On Cameron's based on preferenc?       I mean social media is OK but in other words it leaves a lot to be desired.   It takes a lot for entrepreneurs just starting out to write out attention getting posts for people.   Not to mention something that I have been saying for the past 4 years is that social media is too much a part of our distractive defiant culture.   There are other areas of mass media which we can study. 1.     Radio and television..  ...
