Today’s question is, “How can I overcome my discouragement and depression?”
David asked God, “Lord, why have you forsaken me?”
Jeremiah said, “Lord, you have deceived me.”
Elijah prayed, “Lord, take my life.”
My dear friend are you going through these thoughts as well? I may not fully understand the intensity of your pain, but can I offer you some help? Try tiding over this hump with God’s help.
Firstly, reach out to God. Don’t run away from Him. Psalm 46:1 says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Secondly, listen to life giving messages and music. Romans 10:17 says, “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Thirdly, believe God’s word. Take him at His word. You may feel God is not hearing you or you may feel far removed from Him, but in Hebrews 13:5 God says, I will never leave you nor forsake you.” He is with you; He hasn’t left you. So, believe and receive God’s help.
