Depression
Depression is one of the most common emotional ailments. One antidote for depression is to meditate on the record of God’s goodness to his people. This will take your mind off the present situation and give hope that it will improve. It will focus your thoughts on God’s ability to help you rather than on your inability to help yourself. When you feel depressed, take advantage of this psalm’s antidepressant. Read the Bible’s accounts of God’s goodness, and meditate on them.
This is so true, you know??
This is why I like Psalms so much. It gives encouragement and make people anti-depressed.
That’s probably why I’m so hyperactive and happy now. ;D
Esther, of course it is true. God does not want us to be sad but to be joyful in Him. Acknowledge Him in everything and we will never lose hope. Amen.
