Jesus Healed My Broken Mind

Jesus Healed My Broken Mind

I was not right for a long time,

My thoughts would turn on me without warning,

One minute I was steady, the next I was falling,

And I could not find where the ground had gone.

People could not see it, not really,

I smiled when I had to, I spoke when needed,

Yet inside it was loud and tiring,

Like something kept pulling me under.

I tried to fix it in my own way,

Tried to think better, act stronger, push through,

Nothing stayed, nothing held together,

It all slipped back to the same place.

One night I spoke His name properly,

Not out of habit, not just words,

I said Jesus, if You are there, help me,

Because I cannot do this anymore.

There was no flash, no big moment,

Just something that settled quietly in me,

Like my mind was being held still for once,

Like I was not fighting it on my own.

Days passed and I started to notice,

The thoughts were not as sharp as before,

They came, but they did not control me,

They no longer decided who I was.

It felt strange at first, that kind of peace,

I did not trust it straight away,

I kept waiting for it to break again,

For everything to fall back in.

Yet it stayed, steady and real,

Not perfect, but different in a way that mattered,

Like someone had stepped into the chaos,

And told it to be still.

Jesus did that for me,

Not because I deserved it,

Not because I had it all right,

He met me while I was still a mess.

I believe in Him because I lived it,

Because I know where I was before,

And I know I am not there now,

Something changed and it was Him.

My mind is not my enemy anymore,

I can sit in my own thoughts and breathe,

That alone is something I never had,

Something I thought I never would.

So I say it simple and true,

Jesus healed my broken mind,

Amen to my Lord,

Because He did not leave me there.
