Depression is an Issue of Hope!

Hi, this is Steve Peterson with Fresh Start for All Nations.
Do you ever struggle with depression? Now, the kind of depression I’m talking about has to do with what you think about, what you’re dwelling on, what you’re hoping for, what you’re praying for–it’s kind of an outcome-based perspective. If we take perspective, it’s really a setup for depression; because depression is an issue of hope.
In whom is your hope? In whom is my hope? Is my hope in myself? The other person changing? The circumstances changing? If so, that could be pretty depressing! But, here is the antidote: Put your hope in God.
It says in Psalm 42:5, “Why so downcast, oh my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God.”
Be obedient, do all that you can.
Galatians 6:9, “Don’t be weary in well doing, for in due season you will reap if you faint not.”
Put your hope in God.
