In God's plan for humanity, mental clarity and sound judgment are highly valued. According to 2 Timothy, God has given believers a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline, rather than a spirit of fear, which can undermine mental well-being. The apostle Paul encourages believers to seek peace and tranquility through prayer, as described in Philippians, and to cultivate a gentle and calm spirit, as taught in Titus. Additionally, James and Luke demonstrate that God is the source of wisdom and peace, as seen in the story of the healed demon-possessed man in Luke, and that believers can trust in His goodness to bring order to their minds.
