Depression is a storm that overtakes the souls of many. It’s a storm that brings monstrous waves, huge swells, and at times makes you feel like you are going to capsize — possibly drown. Even though you might feel hopelessly lost, remember that Jesus is in that boat with you. The Bible was not created for us to read and feel good about every day, but to speak truth into our lives. One of these important truths is the strength and support God will give to you when you feel like your own strength and support has vanished. Some days you might feel like you have lost all your strength. That the world could go on perfectly fine without you. Remeber: You are loved and wanted by a God bigger than the entire universe. When you are feeling lonely, anxious, or depressed look to our Heavenly Father, for He will give you the strength you need to keep going. We have nothing to fear in life because God walks beside us. When you feel lonely remember that even if no one else is there, He is. When you experience feelings of fear remember that He will never leave you. Other people will come and go but God will never leave you. When you are feeling weak, hopeless, or lost look to God. He works as a shield around you, protecting you from harm. Even when you feel completely broken by the feelings of depression, He is still there to lift you up and shield you from harm. When you are feeling depressed, remember that He is there to protect you. He will lift you out of your sorrows and place you on solid ground!He hears your cries and will rescue you from whatever pit you are in. He will steady you, and put a song in your heart, that you’ve never experienced before. When others ignore your cries for help or your tears from pain, God will be there. Not only is He there, but He is waiting to lift you up out of the pit, and place you in a spot where you can stand firm. When you are facing depression you can feel like your spirit is entirely crushed, like there is no life left in you. When you are experiencing this pain remember that he is near to you. When you are feeling sad and upset, look to the God who created you and remember that He wants you, and He is near to you. In this Bible verse, we read that God will not break a bruised reed nor will He blow out a small flame. What is a bruised reed? It is a reed that is almost broken. What is a smoldering wick? A flame that has nearly gone out. Sound similar to your feelings? It’s easy to feel like you are about to burn out, or about to break when you’re dealing with depression, but remember that God is there. God will not break the reed, or blow out the flame. He is there to help nuture you and heal you. Lastly, remember that there is nothing in this world that can separate you from the love of God. There is no sin too bad, no failure too deep, and no insecurity too large to ward off the love of God. While everything else in the world will fail you, He is the one constant that never will. GOD BLESS YOU GOD LOVES YOU ITS JUST AN OBSTACLE YOUR GONNA GET PAST IT I PROMISE
