Depression can affect many aspects of our lives, because it impacts us not only physically, but also our mind and soul. Oftentimes, people are given things to change physically; which is not a bad thing. Creating new habits, a self-care plan, and boundaries are never a bad thing. These new and intentional changes uplift our walk.
However; we must also carefully examine our whole self because we are a three part being made up of: mind, body, spirit.
When we dig deeper into depression; there are often roots that are underneath the physical ailments we face each day, such as:
•spiritual: shame, guilt, unforgiveness, sin, unbelief, anger
• mind: rage, drunkenness, jealousy, lust, evil desires, grief, lying, etc.
When left unaddressed, we often sink deeper into darkness creating chains or prison walls that we don’t see a way out of, but God! When we call out to God, He answers that call! Don’t be afraid sisters, He wants to hear from you, today. Cry out to Him, asking Him for help and pray for eyes to see how He is moving on your behalf! Maybe the answered prayers will show up as a friend who you haven’t heard from in a while, this post that encourages you to seek Your Healer or healing from the help of counseling, a desire to read His Word again, a worship song that speaks to you in a powerful way.
God is faithful!
“I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on paths they have not known. I will turn darkness to light in front of them and rough places into level ground. This is what I will do for them, and I will not abandon them.” Isaiah 42:16 CSB
“Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; he saved them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and gloom and broke their chains apart. Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love and his wondrous works for all humanity.” Psalms 107:13-15 CSB
