Why are you downcast,
O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet
praise him, my Savior and my God. Psalm 42:5
Depression is one of the most common emotional ailments
today. In fact, there are more
medications on the market to treat depression than almost any other
disease. Occasionally, there are times
where I tend to feel a little ‘down and out’ about my current set of
circumstances and it's easy to feel like God is distant and begin to lose hope.
One antidote for feeling 'down' is to meditate on all of
God's wonderful blessings and
never-ending goodness that is recorded throughout the Bible.
It gives me hope to read about His promises and reminds me
that God is who He says He is. Scripture also gives me proper perspective and
helps me to focus my thoughts on God's ability to help me rather than on my
inability to help myself. That, my
friends, is a good thing!!
