Depression is an illness that affects the way you feel and the way you think. These clouded thoughts can make you feel even worse, it can make you feel like circumstances in your life are hopeless. You feel like you are in a hole that you can’t get out of. It can even make you think things that aren’t really true.
God wants us to live in the truth. Jesus told His disciples, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” (John 14:6, NIV) The way to get to know the truth is by getting to know God himself. He wants us to know Him and who we are, His children. By reading God’s Word, the Bible, we learn the truth. This truth then becomes a part of us. We are better able to shift our thinking from the negative thoughts that depression brings, to positive and true thoughts.
Start reading the Bible everyday, it is a great way to start the day by thinking positively and truthfully. It makes it easier to get out of bed and to face the day.
Jesus said, ” If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:31-32, NIV)
