Daily Wisdom 02-08-2003 Depression Cure

Many people suffer from depression.For some individuals, this blanket of dark comes as a feeling of sadness or lowness while others explain it as a sense of doom, and that there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Feeling down is something every human being has experienced at one time or another, and whether your depression is due to biological or external causes, nobody has to be a victim because there is a remedy!

A person who feels suicidal does so because he feels there is no escape from his problems. Such a person feels that their burden, whether real or imagined, will not subside, but will continue to worsen, and eventually swallow them up with even greater emotional pain and anguish.

The truth of the matter is, nothing is greater than God, and no problem is too large that our heavenly Father cannot turn it around. Darkness always gives way to light, but in order to see this we must have hope.

Hope is the ability to believe in change. Where God is concerned, hope is ever-present because our Creator is able to do all things. Where human-kind may struggle or fail, the Lord offers His perfect abilities to those individuals who dare to take a leap of faith towards Him.

If, while you are reading this, you are suffering with depressing emotions, know that tears do not go on forever, for in time they eventually dry up just as every storm gives way to the sunlight. The compassionate hand of the Lord is reaching out toward you; God is ready to soothe your fears and ease your pain.

Do not suffer alone, but have hope that God will dispel the darkness of depression with the light of His truth and love.
