Cure for Depression

It's been a depressing week for me. Problems left and right. Sometimes it really feels a little out of control. Being the melancholic, moody person I am, I indulge myself in my crazy mood swings. A great cup of caffeine would have helped, but I didn't have the time for a serious coffee break this week. I really need a break from all this and spend time with God.

Maybe its because I haven't really been running to Him. I should really learn to run to Him for every little thing that bothers me - literally for every tiny scrape and gash. It sucks to be independent - you have to carry everything yourself.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." ~ Matthew 11:28-30

But God didn't mean for us to carry everything. In fact He wants us to give it all to him. So that's what I'll do. Call it a new year's resolution, call it whatever you like - but starting now, I intend to tell God about everything that bothers me - including the emerging pimples on my cheek.

"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." ~ Luke 12:6-7

Nothing about me is unimportant to my God! He even gave His son to die on the cross for me!

"He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?" ~ Romans 8:32
