Dealing with depression



"How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?" (Psalms 13:2 NLT)

Depression can be experienced at many levels and for many different reasons. It’s rarely an easy thing to get away from. 

There is a difference between being depressed and living in depression. 

Something may have happened that you were not expecting, like losing a loved one or losing your job and now you feel depressed. 

But when your choices and your life begin to change because of the negative feelings you have inside, then you are facing depression. 

Depression is the fruit of something deeper. You shouldn't feel ashamed about your feelings, but you must know that God desires better for you. 

He wants to comfort you and restore you to a life of joy. Get quiet before God and remind yourself that he is for you sand not against you.

"Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand."(Isaiah 41:10 NLT)
