Depression

John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:  not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

As Christians living in a sinful world, it is not extremely difficult to yield into temptations and sin. Sinning can even mean turning to family and friends for comfort first instead of seeking God's love. It is easy to turn to a family member when the day's events do not occur as we had hoped or when an unexpected tragedy overwhelms us and leads us to our breaking point. God never promised us a life free from tribulations. It is not a sin to be saddened during a tragedy or loss; however, it is a sin if we fail to look to God, our Heavenly Maker, for that peace that He humbly gives if we only ask. God does promise to never give us more than we can bear, and He does promise to give us the strength we need to overcome temptations and struggles. Life is full of disasters and unanticipated outcomes, but as believers, we are to hold fast our faith and trust God to calm the troubles of our hearts.
