Thoughts for Today

Depression often distorts our feelings, especially feelings about ourselves. We tend to believe our negative feelings more than the positive truth of God's Word because what we are feeling seems so real. Do you identify with any of these thoughts?

Depression says: Nobody cares.
God says: I listen to you cry for help. I am concerned about you. Psalm 22:24, Exodus 4:31

Depression says: I feel so alone.
God says: I am with you. I will never abandon you. Psalm 9:10, Hebrews 13:5

Depression says: I am so worthless. I don't deserve anything good in my life.
God says: I consider you most valuable. I am pleased to make you my own. You are precious in my sight. Matthew 6:26, Psalm 139:13-18

Depression says: No one understands.
God says: I knew you before I made you in your mother's womb. I know you by name. I walk with you. I know your ways. Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:2

Depression says: There is no hope.
God says: I am your hope. I rescue you. Psalm 39:7, 9:9-11, 37:23-24.

Consider this …
God's promises are true. Meditate on them. Ask him to help you know and accept the truth instead of allowing your feelings to control you. Trust in his Word and his truth will set you free.
