“Restoring Hope: Care for Mental Health,” a resource by The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, is designed to offer guidance and spiritual support for individuals, caregivers and others who are navigating various mental health challenges.

In this resource, you will find a pertinent Scripture verse, hymn stanza, theolog­ical reflection and prayer for common mental health issues, as well as other valuable resources and information.

Rooted in the Lutheran understanding of the theology of the cross, we approach these issues through the lens of Christ crucified. This means that we recognize that mental health challenges do not define us. Rather, these tribulations serve to turn us away from ourselves and focus solely on Christ, who invites us to cast our burdens on Him because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).

We pray that you are encouraged by this resource and re­freshed with the truth of God’s abiding presence and steadfast love for you in the midst of life’s trials.
