Even though I've been suffering with this for years, it still will sometimes take over my thinking and lead me to a dark path but in my opinion God has shown me this website for a reason. I have taken several messages to heart and He is teaching me to live with this mentality so that I too can produce a greater good from it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327338169576219367.post-85994160716424512662010-03-04T05:48:03.000-06:002010-03-04T05:48:03.000-06:00Very good reasoning and revelation regarding depre...Very good reasoning and revelation regarding depression. I for one personally have seen and been down the long road. Big difference between being friends with depression, tolerating depression, or fighting depression. I choose the latter. Still able to balance being peaceful and civil yet not giving in to depression. The journey has proved as important as the victory. This I beleive is what I hear from you . . . in your expose' And I believe you are correct! Never, never, ever give up! And it is ok to ask for prayer . . . lotz of times! Has nothing to do with having faith or not having faith!! I am living proof!!! More alive today than ever before!! And more in love with life and God and people! Feels actually pretty good . . . even at low tide!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327338169576219367.post-56015644141746466742010-02-15T23:08:37.570-06:002010-02-15T23:08:37.570-06:00This is a great post Brittany!

I always think of Job's friends who came to him in his distress. At first they had compassion on him, but soon they blamed Job for his suffering. What was God's reaction? <br /><br />"After the LORD had finished speaking to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite: "I am angry with you and with your two friends, for you have not been right in what you said about me, as my servant Job was." - Job 42:7<br /><br />Job was right. His suffering was largely unexplainable. It did not make human sense. But God allowed it still. Why? Perhaps like the blind man who was healed by Jesus, that God might get the Glory. Cannot God be glorified in my suffering? I just rediscovered this verse:<br /><br />"We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. Job is an example of a man who endured patiently. From his experience we see how the Lord's plan finally ended in good, for he is full of tenderness and mercy." -James 5:11Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646028315679503530noreply@blogger.com
