| HOPE! Psalm 42:5 why, my soul are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your HOPE in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
If you've ever been depressed, you're not alone. Depression can be caused by spcircumstances, biology , environment, or a combination of all those things. Depression IS REAL! Research indicates that as many as 25 percent of Americans suffer from depression at some point in their lives. I, myself have been depressed to the point of ending my life, an abusive marriage, divorce, cancer, Identity theft, loss of loved ones. HOPE kept me moving forward, and the thought of the suffering of my family from the choice of action I took. I couldn't do it. I turned to God to guide me through the dark dismal days. There have been many.
We are blessed with scriptural accounts of godly people like David and Jeremiah who struggled with depression. These stories let us know that it's a normal human reaction to feel overcome over whelmed by the difficulties of life.
While feeling this way is normal, it doesn't have to be the norm. As Christians, we have HOPE. HOPE that our circumstances will NOT always be the way they are right now. HOPE that NO matter how dismal the world situations seems to be, God wins in the end. HOPE that eternity is just on the other side.
HOPE is like a green shoot poking up through hard, cracked ground. When you're depressed , do what David and Jermiah did... Pour out your heart to God. SEEK HELP from a trusted friend or god,y counselor. LOOK FOR HOPE. LOOK at your family and friends, it's all around you, and yours for the taking.
For it is WITH God ALL things ARE possible.
Father, even when I am depressed, You ARE, still God. HELP me find a ray of HOPE in the midst of dark circumstances.Father, guide me to do all things that will bring glory and honor to You Amen
Hve a VERY BLESSED GOD FILLED HOPEFUL Thursday ALL!   |
