This is a very good message, I pray you share it with all. I am Very thankful for people like Lieryn Barnett ,from FAITH IT, that share on Mental Illness. I see so many lovely folks and families dealing with the issues that Lieryn writes about.

I was diagnosed as an adolescent and have pleaded with God more than thrice to remove this from me.
It took me longer than Paul to hear God telling me that his grace is sufficient.
