Depression

Philippians 4:12
"I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound:  every where and in all things am I instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need."

Even in prison, in the worst of circumstances, Paul never gave up hope. He knew how to discipline himself, to be satisfied in all situations, and to go without certain pleasures. God never gives up on His children. The extent of guidance we receive from Him, however, depends on our willingness to trust Him. No matter how hard a trial may be, God is always willing to strengthen us in battle and to help us be content through them all. Though depression is considered a diagnosis, it is easy for Christians to fall into the trap of hopelessness and despair. When battles enter our lives, we must hold true to our faith and trust that God will enable us to win each one.
