Why am I depressed? Why this turmoil within me? Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him, my Saviour and my God.
PSALM 42:11 HCSB
"If you find yourself feeling "blue", perhaps it's a logical reaction to the ups and downs of daily life. But if your feelings of sadness have gone on longer than you think they should - or if someone close to you fears that your sadness may evolved into clinical depression - it's time to seek professional help." p86
"When we face the inevitable dark days of life, we must choose how we will respond." p86
"We bring light to the dark days of our life by turning first to God, and then to trusted family members, friends and medical professionals." p84
"Emotions we have not poured out in the safe hands of God can turn into feelings of hopelessness and depression. God is safe." - BETH MOORE p87
"Self blame over the past leads to depression in the present and poor decisions for the future." - BARBARA JOHNSON p87
"Feelings of uselessness and hopelessness are not from God, but from the evil one, the devil, who wants to discourage you and thwart your effectiveness for the Lord." - BILL BRIGHT p87
TODAY'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, You have promised to lift me up from the pit of my despair, and You have promised to place a new song on my lips. If the darkness envelops me. Father, remind me of those promises. And Give me the wisdom to accept help from the people You have placed along my path. Amen
