Summary

My goal here is to give you a set of tools, some of which you may find truly helpful. While I have very little to say about medication I think that scripture does offer us some guidance to really help us with the sadness of our souls and looking at several biblical passages that give examples of dealing with and processing depression can help us to better deal with our own. I don't want you to think I'm fully answering the problem of depression or sadness here, just that I'm trying to help us all have more help with it and to let the Bible speak more fully to this issue. May God give you an increase of His joy even in the midst of sorrow and may the patience and hope of Christ be yours. My work in this ministry is fully supported by donations and I intend to keep it that way so that everything I produce can be offered for free. If you want to help make this possible here's the link. https://biblethinker.org/index.php/donate Here's the link to the 1st Peter series, I think it will bless you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoZf07Tj5T0&list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHs4JVWfSPM5ygzyLMTASL0h

0:24.4

when you're going through things and you're down.

0:25.9

One thing that can help with depression and sadness before I get started though is having a

0:31.1

pet cat who's made entirely of large amounts of hair. This is

0:35.5

Moxie. There's the cat cam. She's having a good old time today so I just wanted

1:26.0

one-size-fits-all issue when it comes to going and I'm not even talking about

clinical depression or anything I'm not even interested in that to be honest
