Today's Inspiration: David and Depression
Why are you downcast, O my soul! Why so disturbed within me? put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God .... Psalm 43:5
When people get depressed, no matter what has caused their depression, they feel so alone and think that nobody has ever been in a hole quite as deep as theirs.
In Psalms 42 and 43, the writer - probably David -- pours out his discouragement. He uses words such as tears, despair, mourning, weeping, cast down, depressed and so forth. Then he gives his solution for dealing with depression God's way.
Pour out your heart to God.
Remember what God has done for you.
Make the decision in your heart to praise the Lord.
Focus on God rather than on what depresses you.
Pray for God's light and truth.
Verbalize your faith. Both Psalms 42 and 43 end with a reaffirmation of faith and
trust in God.
God's psychiatry lifts us from depression and brings peace to despairing hearts.

Today's Stars
You have a tendency to say exactly what you're feeling without editing your thoughts. Sometimes that works out for you wonderfully, but at other times you put your foot in your mouth and you wind up regretting what you said. Today there is a strong potential that you could offend the wrong person. Even if what you say is helpful and true, a certain individual may not be ready to hear your message. Don't offer commentary or advice unless you are specifically asked, and even then you will need to tread gracefully.
Taurus... Hold your thoughts just for the day!
