(a series on dealing with depression)
We
make way too many decisions based on our feelings alone. People that
have suffered with depression, whether situational or clinical, can
attest to a wide range of overpowering emotions - fear, anger, despair,
loneliness, anxiety and hopelessness. All of these feelings are very
real and have undeniable effects on your mind, body and spirit. A train
running out of control through the middle of main street couldn't cause
as much damage as those feelings when they are in full force. We've all
been there. I've been there, yesterday, as a matter of fact. I bought
the t-shirt then got depressed because I spent money I shouldn't have so
I returned it. Now I'm depressed because I really liked it and wish I
had kept it (a little humor for your morning - very little, lol). I
would like to discuss our game plan as a team. We are all on the same
playing field, fighting the same enemy, so let's go over some offense
and defense. The first thing we need is a mission statement to give us a
solid reference point to look back on. Here it is: Feelings are not
Truth. Memorize that, think about it, analyze it. In part 2 of this
series, we will unpack our mission statement and see how it will apply
to our game plan.
"Father, sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth." John 17:17
