Depression is like a mental cloud over our brain. Fog or funk don’t want to get out of bed or do the things we used to love to do.
Dark cloud over our life.
Could be in a form of discouragement, troubled, Miserable, brokenhearted.
All Depression stems from a deeper root.
Abuse: Physically- Emotionally - Sexually
Genetics- Family members with mental illness (see a doctor)
Major life Events- Graduation, move, married...
Substance Abuse - Most people are depressed and turn to this some get depressed after.
Approval addiction- We will always stay depressed if we are depending on someone else for our happiness
People will always let you down and disappoint you and they might not know they even hurt you. So you can’t let people dictate weather you will be happy or depressed
Choice is yours....... Happy or Depressed
Stop focusing on what we have lost or what we don’t have or what has been taken from us.
Stop looking at the crap that has happen to us and really focus on the positives
Look at your circumstance and realize it is not as bad as it seems and life could always be worse.
Enjoy our life where we are at. Stop wait waiting on something to come in our life to make us happy because you will always find negative in your life.
The Antidote for Depression is Faith!
2 Corinthians 5:7 Live by Faith not by site
Faith is the substance of things hoped for , the evidence of things not seen.
If we always live our life looking at the negative and the news we will always feel hopeless and depressed
We have to rest in Faith
You have to know that all things are working out for good!!!
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Your life may look like a train wreck but we can’t see the big picture but in the future you will look back and say God had his print all over that and his hand was molding and shaping my life perfectly the way He had planned
Believe in the craziest things you can’t see:
Believe you can be happy
Believe you can overcome depression
Believe your life can be different
Believe your past doesn’t have to dictate your future
Hebrew 3:19 So we see that they were not allowed to enter his rest because of their unbelief.
If we don’t believe our circumstance can be better we will never have rest or peace.
Depressed people their minds never rest. They are constantly pitting their situation instead of seeking Faith in Jesus
Instead of letting our circumstance overwhelm us we should let God’s goodness overwhelm us because He is a good God.
Psalms 100:5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all the generations.
Jeremiah 29:11 He has a plan an a purpose for our lives
God is our hope when we are troubled
Psalms 31:24 Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD
Deuteronomy 31:8 DO NOT BE AFRAID AND DO NOT BE DISCOURAGE
Figure out what our problem really is and the true cause of our trouble and then have the faith that Jesus can change it and you can have a new life!!
Colossians 3:1&2 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights of the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, no the things of earth
Joy comes in the morning!!!
Psalms 30:5 for his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may last through the night but joy comes in the morning!!!
Receive the life God has for you the Choice is yours!!
Do you want to have FAITH IN POSITIVE OR FAITH IN THE NEGATIVE?? I WOULD CHOOSE THE FIRST ONE!!!
