When reading this scripture think about the reel that goes in your head, how the enemy is trying to play havoc against your own thinking of who you are in CHRIST. Then pray this Psalm asking JESUS to help you put away the enemies ability in having you think you can not defeat him. HAVE NO FEAR AND CAMP IN HIS TEMPLE! He awaits you, HIS bride.

Here is a verse that I found to be encouraging when it comes to suffering. 1 Peter 1:13-14 But rejoice that you participate in the suffering of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

If we come to that position of having great sadness let us turn to God for Help He does not want us to stay in depression, because that will lead to do things, which go against God if we turn toward Him, He will lift us up in due time, and we will not suffer emotionally, and mentally. God may allow us to have that for alittle while so we could turn toward Him, and learn to be obedient to Him, then He will take us out of the terrible spot of emotional, and mental, and physical infirmity. God will help us to be healthy if we serve Him, this is for His Glory, that is what Jesus Said, this is for those who love, Him, He will rescue them so everyone may be blessed in knowing He is God, and to have fellowship with The Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I totally agree. However, read the word and you will see that David, Isaac, Abraham and many others dealt with depression. More often than not, it is expectations we put upon ourselves to be the BEST on all accounts. We feel unworthy of GOD's love. I have come to a place in my walk that I am able to look for the joy in all things, and not my circumstances. Which helps. Having joy doesn't necessary make me happy in my situation. But we as christians do not lift up our brothers and sisters that deal with depression. I have heard christians say, "you are not right with Jesus, or spiritual enough, otherwise you would not be dealing with your depression or oppression." I say bu hum bug. Especially after reading how Jesus called out in great dispair to GOD while HE was in the garden. I agree that we should call out when we are in dispair. Only JESUS can heal us, as in all other infirmaties. HE will use our vally times to honor and glorify HIM! Just as he did Moses in the days of wondering in the desert. I GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD FOR MY VALLEYS, AS WELL AS, MY MOUNTAIN TOPS LOVE Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
