I hate missing church on Sundays but with the icy weather we have this morning I cant make it!! My back porch is iced over and so is the railing. With the problems I have with my knees I cant risk taking a fall. But, I did hear the word through Dr James Merritt from Touching Lives on TBN this morning @ 0730! His message was entitled Up the down slope from 1 Kings 19...Elijah was depressed because of one angry woman-Jezebell!!! We all have those days when we dont feel like dealing w/ life. He said its not bad to be sad, but God can make u glad!! (3) things we need to do when we r depressed. 1st) Confront it. If youre depressed, youre not alone! Good people get depressed! 2nd) Contemplate it. Try to analyze why youre depressed...jobless, divorce, sickness, death, spiritual. When youre depressed dont get away from everybody! Satan wants you depressed! 3rd) Counteract it. There is nothing wrong with being depressed.....Theres something wrong with staying depressed!!! He said the #1 cause of depression is Repressed Anger! 3 steps to take when feeling depressed:step 1) Lie down--Relax, rest, eat. Step 2) Look up--- God doesnt do Pity Parties! Quit thinking about yourself and think about GOD!! Every morning get into Gods word. Thank him! Praise him! Worship him! Step 3) Get out!! No matter how bad it is, therr is somebody out there thats having it worse than you are! I love you all and praying Gods favor and blessings upon each and every one of you! Be blessed and be safe out there!!
