Title: Say No To Depression
Memorize: Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Philippians 4:4 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (Nkjv)
[18] in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
Message:
The Bible enjoins us to rejoice at all times. This implies that irrespective of whatever you may be going through, you should rejoice.
I used to think that it was impossible for young people to suffer from hypertension, cardiac arrest, and others.
I thought that adults with lots of responsibilities like caring and providing for their children or juggling between their careers and ministry are the only ones who are prone to such health conditions.
However, I realised recently that everyone struggles with one thing or the other at different times, including newborns who cry to get their mothers’ attention every now and then.
My dear child, I know that you have some needs and struggles that even your parents sometimes do not understand.
However, God knows exactly how you are feeling, and He has instructed you to rejoice always.
If there’s something bothering you today, please talk to your teacher, school counsellor, or any of your parents or guardians so that you can feel less burdened and receive good counsel.
Don’t ever give in to depression because it is not God’s desire for you.
Confession:
I have the joy of God in me! Wells of joy flow from within me! I will never be depressed.
