Scripture Reading by Lady Pepper (Show Slide)

(Show Slide) Thank you Lady Pepper for the announcements and the reading of God’s Word.

Introduction

Those who struggle in the darkness of depression have difficulty seeing good in their lives … especially in themselves.

They often look at life through a “black filter.”

The photographer who takes a picture during the daytime, but the final photograph appears to be a night scene.

When the depressed see life through their black filter, they feel helpless about their situations, hatred toward themselves, and hopeless over their future.

If you are walking in the darkness of depression, you need to focus on the light of the Lord and know that He profoundly cares.

In this psalm, you can see how David chose to change his focus …

Let’s talk about “Characteristics of Depression”

I. Characteristics of Depression

What Is the Dialogue of the Depressed?

Words are powerful.

Words can change minds, hearts, and ultimately lives.

When a painful situation causes us to react with negative emotions,

the thoughts that follow that reaction will determine whether those emotions will rule us or whether truth will rule us.

Why?

We need to understand that God designed the human brain.

At times, we all feel emotional pain.

If we activate the language center of the brain, this reduces the strength in the emotional center of the brain.

This means that our thoughts have power over our emotions … even overriding our emotions and bringing them into subjection.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (NKJV)

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

c.

Since the spoken word has more power than the unspoken word, speaking words of truth and words of faith is vital so that truth and faith will be strengthened within us.

d.

Ultimately, feelings follow thinking.

Therefore, what you say to yourself … about yourself … about your life … about your future … even about God … will determine how you feel about yourself … about your life … about your future … and about God—and His relationship with you.

3.

As you line up your thinking with God’s thinking, your words will bring life, not death.…

II.

What do you say about yourself?

“I can’t do anything right!”— “Why should I even try?”— “My usefulness is over!”— “I hate myself!”— “Look at so-and-so” (in comparison).—

“I must have done something wrong!”— “Nobody loves me!”

What is the light of truth?

What does God say …

III.

What do you say about your situation?

“I don’t see any way out!”— “It didn’t matter anyway!”— “This is intolerable!”—

“It’s not fair!”— “I’m helpless to change it!”—

“I can’t do anything about it!”

-“I can’t bear it!”

ask yourself - What is the light of truth?

You can say with the apostle Paul …

IV.

What do you say about your future?

“So what!”— “Nothing will ever change.”—

“No one will ever love me!”— “I’ll be too old.”—

“That was my last chance for happiness!”—

“I have nothing to live for.”—

“It’s hopeless!” - Are you sounding like

Donna Summers? it’s the last dance”

ask yourself - What is the light of truth?
