Depression Is No Joke

     I believe what I have been going through has been depression. Let me tell you about depression: it definitely is not fun. I have laid in bed for several hours after I got up. I may go back to bed in a few. It's not good to feel this way. I have to hit the Bible big time, seeking the Word of God because I know that, as a child who battled depression, depression does not go away easily. It can suck the life out of you. It really messes you up emotionally and physically. If you have the worse kind, suicidal thoughts start coming in & I DO NOT want to open that door again. 

     I know Satan is working overtime trying to steal, kill, & destroy. We must not give in. I must not give in. With depression, thoughts become messed up. You begin thinking this way and that way. You begin feeling that no one loves you or life is not worth it. I know that has happened with me. I have let the devil work his way back in. It's totally my fault, but it ends right now. I will not be depressed anymore. Satan will not keep me from attending church Sunday mornings nor will I give him power to dominate my mind or my heart. He CAN'T have me! He CAN'T have my family! 

     I encourage each and everyone of you that is going through this, fight back. Embrace the Lord and His Word. Hold on for dear life. The Lord is our Strength! He is our very Help in the time of trouble! He will get us through this. Hold on & hold out. Praise God, Praise His Son, & Praise His Holy Spirit! Thank You Jesus.

Until Next Time...Lord's Willing
