DEPRESSION

DEALING WITH DEPRESSION (1)
Elijah, who had been Fearless for three years in radical ministry became frightened when Jezebel threatened his life. He ran to the desert, when he became depressed and announced, "I have had enough, Lord...Take my life" (1 King 19:14 NIV).

Elijah became a prime candidate for depression when he got physically tired, emotionally drained, and felt threatened. He was a basket case of emotional problems: fear, resentment, guilt, anger, loneliness, and worry. And the Bible says, "Elijah was a man just like us" (James 5:17 NIV). He wrestled with same problems we do.
He got so repressed that he wanted to die. How do we get ourselves into such emotional mess? Sometimes it's because of what happens to us- bad circumstances that occur in our lives. But more often it's due to faulty thinking.

The  truth is our emotion are generated by our thoughts, and when we think destructive ways we are going to feel depressed. Our emotions spring from how we interpret life, and if you always see things from a negative viewpoint you are going to get down.

To rid yourself of harmful emotions, you must learn to change the way you think. That is why the Bible talks about being "Transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2 KJV).

To overcome depression you must Learn to correct your negative thinking to positive thinking. Looking at things from the right point of view- God's viewpoint- is the path to overcoming depression.
