Feeling Depressed? There's Hope!
During this month of October, I've seen a lot of social media posts regarding depression. A video of someone saying that it's just an act or self-inflicted, other posts suggest that it's actually a very serious problem nowadays, especially of the youth, and others alike. I wonder what depression really is, so, I pray for wisdom and conducted my own research about it. As a result, I've found a horrifying truth, it is indeed a serious problem.
Someone who suffers depression experiences something more than just sadness. The pain they have are on a different level, it is never be for show; rather, they keep everything within themselves. They feel useless, alone, guilty, and helpless, they even lost interest on the things they once does. No wonder many commit suicide because it also affects the way they act and think. I believe it is unfair for them to say 'we know how they feel', because we don't. They really need help!
There's still hope!
Fortunately, depression is treatable! You read it right! Yes it is!
But since I'm not a doctor, let me just give you this bible passage that you can meditate on, and I pray to the Lord that it will give you the strength and hope you need to face this battle. In Psalms chapter 23 verses 5 through 6 it says:
"You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
Always Remember!
In times of trouble, doubt, anxiety, loneliness, rejection, and all of such enemies (to be considered), when you see them coming; as the passage says, 'you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies'. GOD IS PREPARING A FEAST FOR YOU! The table is ready! It's not a time for mourning; rather, a time for rejoicing, a time to sing adoration before the throne of God. As the scripture says, 'Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.' And sure enough! Whatever happens, goodness and mercy SHALL FOLLOW YOU ALL DAYS OF YOUR LIFE. So chin up! God is faithful and is willing to finish the work He started in us.
