Step into His wonderful light!

"We will experience times filled with darkness, temptations to fear
and give up, attacks by our enemies, heavy burdensome tasks and
more. The seasons of refinement are not easy to endure, but each
Believer must experience a time like this in their life. Not all seasons
of life are the same, but the lessons to be learned are for God’s greater
honor and glory. Do what you can see is clearly before you and stop
worrying about what you can only see vaguely out in the future. We
do not need to be anxious about what tomorrow has for us, what lies
in the dusky darkness, but let God take care of the tomorrows while
we take one small step at a time as God lights each step of the way
for us. An old saying goes like this, “Step into the light.” As Believers
in Jesus Christ, we are to step into His wonderful light."

God is merciful!

"God has been merciful to me in my battles with depression. I want
so much to succeed for Him and succeed for my family. However, the
pain can be unbearable at times by human standards. As days go slow
with no relief in sight, this seems to be when the battle gets very intense
and the depression starts to settle in my bones like hard concrete
deposits forming at my joints causing pain, heartache, and anxiety.
These are the moments I am reminded of by the Holy Spirit the “Lord
is my portion”…He is my sustainer and healer always. My God is my
Adonai Rofi, my healer. As I move along many times not
understanding the pilgrimage I find myself on, my comfort is in reading
God’s holy Word. His Word will remind us of the vastness of Himself,
the salvation that awaits all those who persevere to the end, the healing
that is bound up in Him and the love He has for His chosen people.
Throughout the day to the end of each day my place is to be completely
satisfied in my Lord no matter the circumstances surrounding me. God
is most glorified in my satisfaction in Him."

The Word of God...an Antidote for healing!

"Healing comes to us in different ways as I have said before. But
in our battles against the vicious bites of Satan, God does provide an
antidote called The Word we can retreat to and feast on in order to
survive for another day and another battle. This is available to us as
Believer’s in Jesus Christ. The ultimate results are the same; God uses
His Word in us to heal us in accordance with His will and purposes
resulting in the furthering of His kingdom and His greatest glory."

Defeat Depression with prayer & Bible meditation!

"By taking on a new prayer life and life of intense meditation of the
Scriptures a new contentment should abound. The strength to be
content will grow within your soul like a water well that was once dry
as old bones, but now has a new spring of water filling it full to the top
and never goes dry again. Jesus Christ, The Word, is that spring of
water and you will not find it in this humanistic society and by
humanistic counselors. Christ is the deliverer of the strength in every
situation. Philippians 4:19 further explains, “My God will meet all your
needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” We have a
need for old fashioned, hard core Bible study, meditation, and prayer.
If you are not a Believer, this may seem foreign to you, but be sure to
read the chapter on Salvation before giving up."
