How To Handle Depression

Psalms 13:5-6 KJV

But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

Here is a depressed man.  David feels forgotten of God and wonders if he will feel that way forever. He is filled with sorrow every day and believes he might die in this depression.

• His enemies seem to have won
• His testimony seems to be destroyed

 But wait!

What is it a man should do in such a case? Exactly what David did:

• Trust the Lord
• Expect God to help in His time
• Sing praise songs to God
• Acknowledge God's blessings

 We all go through times like this. Some of those times are worse than others. But we all get through those times. We will get through them better if we trust the Lord and follow David's counsel.
