Overcoming.
How does one individual overcome Depression and Anxiety through his faith?
Though i believe that we need other treatment as well, like medication and therapy as well.
I strongly believe that our faith can help us ease and overcome Depression and Anxiety.
So how can i communicate this topic to you?
There is no good way to give to you.
There are plenty of bible character whom experience depression and anxiety. The one notable i am going to give is job, david and our lord Jesus.
Wait? jesus?
Yep.
Well. he have shown some signs of depression, the fact that he is human says it all. the fact that he knows what's next says it all. He knows that when he entered jerusalem, he may die there and for most of us even though there is a promise of salvation we're still scare as hell and because of that fear it can became our anxiety.
So how one individual can overcome depression.
If you read the story of job, Job wealth, health and everything was taken away from him. Take note that he is upright and innocent. He became depress and he Question why he's even born in the first place but in the latter part of the book God shows him the marvel of his works. God didn't answer the question that job was asking but it is enough to make him humble and understand that whatever happens he must trust God.
We must trust God.
and that's the 1st step. Trust him with all our heart, mind and soul.
2nd is that like jesus did. He prayed and prayed in the garden of Gethsemane. He calle to his father and lifted his pain. His temptations and anxiety.
For us it's our quiet time or our devotion. In here we can also pray in private. Cry out our pain and weariness. We can come to our father in heaven as we are.
3rd is that. we oversee that their faith is well build especially jesus.
for us we can go and use some practical tips that may help us build more on our foundation in our faith.
1. Read our bible.
2. Medidate on our world
3. Look for an accountability partner
4. Always attend your church
5. Attend you bible group or Cell Group.
