I truely understand depression, having experienced serious bouts of it over the years. I'm so sorry about your wife. You are so right--the Lord can bring redemption from the ashes of depression.

There are times that I physically could not move, yet Christ gave me strength to say "NO MORE!"Patchoulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681032095827529717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-26886708853107049852006-12-31T00:07:00.000-06:002006-12-31T00:07:00.000-06:00I needed this today...thank you, KB.

I can understand why people are surprised that you struggle with depression because you are always so encouraging to others.<br /><br />People are never too surprised to know I struggle with it (I wear my emotions on my sleeve, as they say).<br /><br />Thanks for this reminder that depression is an assault from the enemy.

If it were not for Christ, I could not have overcome the depression brought on by life's circumstances over which I had no control. <br />The key, as you mentioned, to overcoming depression, is in giving our trust over to God, and by fighting with the only weapon with which we can win - an intimate, close walk with God, who is able to fight for us. And our praise and worship of Him - our humility (not humiliation) is what lifts us up. <br />Yes, He is able to redeem what the world might see as hopeless. An He does it in a way that the world perceives as totally impossible.<br />Thanks for your insights, buddy. I wish you a healthy and prosperous 2007.20mileview.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536793437877268409noreply@blogger.com
