TOPIC : HEALING FOR THE DEPRESSED
TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 31:8 "The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged".
Depression can be expressed in various ways depending on the trigger. Depression could be a feeling of hopelessness, frustration, anxiety, loss of interest, tiredness/loss of energy. In our generation there are so many factors that can lead to depression like drug abuse, traumatic events, low self esteem etc. It is important to realize that Jesus Christ is the cure for depression. He knows that situation/circumstances would arise that would make us afraid or discouraged, that is why He says " I will go before you and will be with you, I will never forsake you." The love that Jesus Christ has for us can not be quantified. The knowledge and power of this love should make us hopeful without despair or discouragement.
when we come to the understanding that Jesus Christ should be the reason for our existence every other thing becomes minute. Psalm 9:9 says "The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble". So when you feel oppressed or troubled run to Him. His grace is sufficient for you.
In life there are so many experiences that can weigh you down, just hang on and hold on to Jesus. He will never disappoint you.
Remember life without Christ is full of crisis.
STAY BLESSED.
