Fullness of life
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16 KJV)
Depression can be very debilitating. If not managed and overcome, it can drastically affect your spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Depressing thoughts and feelings are like a cloud, blocking your view of a more positive reality.
Depression undermines your emotional and mental well-being‚ and can be even more detrimental than physical illnesses are, because, as the Bible says, “A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?” For this reason, people who are battling depression need the support and encouragement of others.
One of the most difficult and disconcerting things about depression is that you often can’t put your finger on what’s wrong or why you feel so deeply discouraged. Whatever the cause‚ attacks of depression are not to be taken lightly. Regardless of the struggles we face in our life journey, we have the assurance that God’s supernatural grace and the peace that passes all understanding is real and is there for us to take refuge in.
The Lord knows your every need, and He will not fail to supply and care for you as you continue to hold on through the storms and trust Him. Look to Him for comfort and guidance and have faith that there is hope in any situation. There are no limits to His love and the miracles He can perform to bring fullness of life to each and every one of His children. [1]
God, He is not angered by your honest words. God can handle your doubts, frustrations, failures, and darkest moments because He is astoundingly gracious. He loves you. - Elizabeth Clayton Lee and Mary Keith
