Depression and Trying to Keep Your Head Above the Water

Depression can leave you feeling like you are struggling to keep your head above the water. It feels like you are drowning and the fight is to pull your head up and get a few breaths so you can keep going. Depression makes you feel alone as if others can no way understand your feelings. If your depression continues there comes a time when you feel so tired you just want it to be over. What do you do? Maybe you have tried medication only to have side effects. Maybe you found someone to lean on, but I can tell you if we depend on another person for our happiness that relationship can end abruptly then you will be left with emptiness. Depression is becoming an epidemic and if we don’t learn how to find healing it will swallow us up and there will be nothing left of us but a lifeless body. The only sure way to find any comfort is by crying out to Jesus. This isn’t something you can do once and expect to be cured of your pain. This is something that must continue daily to fight this disease. I call it a disease because it makes us sick mentally and physically. If we form a special bond with the Lord no matter what happens you know you are never alone. He lives in you and your life will have a greater meaning because you will want to serve him and be pleasing to him.  I know depression hurts and my heart goes out to all of you who are suffering with this pain. But I can tell you the Lord has a way of giving us comfort when we cry out to him, I know first hand.

God Bless All Of you!
