God’s Help in Coping Through Depression

God’s Help in Coping Through Depression

Depression can be very debilitating for many people. It can be momentary or last for years if left untreated. Some people coping with this mental illness require a combination of counseling and drug therapy in order to return to a more balanced level of coping with the varied challenges facing our world. Others may experience a low-grade depression brought on by external situations, and, with prayer and patience, they can resume their regular lives. Regardless of your circumstances, God is still sovereign over any illness and is with you now. It is your faith that will sustain you through your difficulties. Do you believe this? Can you surrender control? It is for your perseverance that we pray for God’s Help in Coping Through Depression.
