"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
These things must be connected. It must be the power of God and of the Atonement of His Son that allows us to give and receive love and that love that allows us to have the steadiness of a sound mind. Without love, fear enters, and we begin to entwine ourselves in endless doubts. Without love, we dip into the shadows and our minds are obscured from the true nature of things. We fail to see who we truly are, what our relationship with God is, and how we fit in His plan.
So when you find someone who helps you feel soundness of mind, follow the chain backwards and I suspect that the rest will be in place. Love, power, and faith, all given as gifts from God. His gifts are good and lasting--the best gifts. His hand is forever present.
