| |  | | | Devotional - Redeemed Christian Church of God | The Cure for DepressionPosted on Mar 17, 2014 in Devotions
A teacher said to her students, “Boys and girls, there is a wonderful example in the life of the ant. Every day the ant goes to work and works all day. Every day the ant is busy. And in the end, what happens?
Little Johnny said, “Someone steps on Him.”Depression is a hopelessness that’s not consistent with reality. It’s a temporary condition, an emotional state with exaggerated feelings of sadness. It is more than discouragement. It can make negative circumstances overwhelm a person’s life. Recent studies of more than 11,000 individuals found depression to be more physically and socially disabling that arthritis, diabetes, lung disease, chronic back problems, hypertension, and gastrointestinal illnesses. 19 million American adults or about 9.5 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older suffer from depression every year. Twice as many women as men are affected. These figures translate to 12.4 million women and 6.4 million men in the U.S. Women between the ages of 25-44 are most often affected by depression with a major cause of depression in women being the inability to express or handle anger.
Symptoms of depression 1. Weight loss or weight gain. 2. Loss of sleep and energy. 3. Lose interest in most or all pleasurable activities. 4. Reduced ability to concentrate. 5. Overcome with feelings of hopelessness or uselessness.
Causes Death or serious illness of a friend or family member Loss of love or attention from a friend or family member Breakup of a romantic relationship Family problems, especially parents’ divorce Isolation/loneliness/rejection Physical, verbal, and/or sexual abuse Genetic vulnerability, particularly if a parent is/was depressed.
Background to depression 77% of everything we think is negative and counterproductive and works against us. People who grow up in an average household hear “No” or are told what they can’t do more than 148,000 times by the time they reach age 18. This results in unintentional negative programming. Negative parents breed negative children. 1 Corinthian 15:33. It is not uncommon for servants of God to suffer from depression. Listen to Moses in Numbers 11:15, “If this is how you intend to treat me, do me a favor and kill me. I’ve seen enough; I’ve had enough. Let me out of here.” Elijah made a similar request for God to take his life. 1Kings 19:4. Job cried out, “Obliterate the day I was born. Blank out the night I was conceived!” Job 3:3. Therefore if you are a Christian and you are depressed, you are not alone.
One of England’s finest preachers was C.H. Spurgeon. Frequently during his ministry he was plunged into severe depression, due in part to gout but also for other reasons. Sometimes he would be out of the pulpit for two to three months at a time. Many years ago a young Midwestern lawyer suffered from such deep depression that his friends thought it best to keep all knives and razors out of his reach. He questioned his life’s calling and the wisdom of even attempting to follow it through. During this time he wrote, “I am now the most miserable man living. Whether I shall ever be better, I cannot tell.” That lawyer was Abraham Lincoln who became the 16th President of the United States of America.
Timing of Depression 1. Depression may come after a time of intense ministry output. Elijah became depressed after defeating the prophets of Baal. 1 Kings 19:1-18. More pastors resign on Monday than any other day of the week. Don’t be surprised therefore if you experience depression after a very success program or event. Pastors wonder why they feel so low after moving into a new church building. Athletes wonder why they feel so empty with the trophy in their hands; students wonder why they feel so unfulfilled with the diploma in their hands. Mothers wonder why they can’t stop the tears after giving birth to a healthy baby. 2. Relational conflict is a common cause of depression. Problem with your boss, breaking up with boyfriend, argument with wife are not uncommon. 3. After physical exhaustion. Elijah killed 450 false prophets, prayed intensely for rain, and then in the power of the Holy Spirit ran for over 20 miles just before he became depressed. Sometimes, overscheduling and overloading ourselves may make us susceptible to emotional letdown. Inability to balance the demands of work, family, church and recreation can tilt us over. While you can do anything, you cannot do everything. When you are tired you are really vulnerable to the discouragement that leads to depression.
How to get depressed 1. Be alone. Most depressed people are lonely or act as if they are alone. Elijah wasn’t all alone, what about Obadiah that brought him the news of hiding prophet of God? 1 Kings 18:13. Depression shuts out the thing we need most: people. When we gather in Sunday school class of caring people, when we come into a church service with Christian friends [More] | | |
