Depression

Sadness, gloom,dejection. This is the dictionary.com view of it.  Sadness and stress are big factors.

Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust.  Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You.  Psalm 143:8

Fighting depression can be a lifelong battle.  Some who never have experienced the crushing weight of depression think us weak.  I am not a weak person, others that are depressed are not weak.

I get up every morning and try to remind myself what my blessings are.  That God has a plan for me.  I need to trust in Him so that His works can happen.

I truly have a great life.  Depression is still a part of it.  I am not at my worst.  Still I find myself having a hard time functioning.  I think of that verse often to remind myself I have someone to lean on and trust in!  Friends may come and go, but God will always be there for me.

I hope that if you are struggling with depression or sadness that this verse brings you comfort.  If your depression gets to the point that it is strangling you, please ask for help!

Be Blessed
