Depression

Nehemiah 8:10b
"...neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength."

Although there are times in our lives when sorrow overcomes joy, we must take courage and look to God for strength. No matter how great our sorrow is, the LORD is capable of providing the comfort we so desperately need. There is no trial too great and no valley too deep for our God. AS Christians, we are not to have countenances of constant sorrow or despair. Those who know we are Christians scrutinize our actions and our expressions when events do not ocur the way we had planned. We are to be true testimonies to those who are not Christians. Though there are different levels of depression, and though depression is lableled as a medical disorder, God is more than willing to proivde the strength and the determination to overcome our despair. Though medicine may help our physical needs, God can meet both physical and spiritual; we have to be willing to allow God to work.
