The furious mental pains burning inside a mind with a mental illness serve a useful purpose. They burn the old mental process to ashes. They turn the mind into fertile ground so new thought processes and thinking can develop.
New thought processes take considerable effort to create. The development of new thought processes may be the most difficult work a person can do. A mind that has been burnt down is like the foundation poured to build a house upon. It's ready for a new framework.
Reading is one of the best ways to supply a mind with the resources for the new thoughts required to erect a novel framework, or thought patterns. As new thought processes develop, new work will need to be done. The best way to help shape new thinking into a new process is with a new approach. Together they enable a person to live a new life.
Both of these processes, the burning away of the old and the creation of the new, may take many years. Healing, however, is available to anyone willing to create a new mind. Healing is available if you follow through on the work that will strengthen a new mind.
The author of sound mind, Christ, will guide the restoration. He will guide even the sickest, most unbalanced, and afflicted mind. Simple faith in Him, and His ability to heal from heaven, is all that's needed. If you undertake the necessary work of building a new mind, one like His, you'll find work that allows your new thought process to create a new life.
