Depression Can Be Overcome by Truth
It is important to understand that the Word of God does not instruct us to pretend that our problems are not real. The Bible does not tell us to ignore our depression. Neither does it teach us to cover our worries with artificial positivity. When people are depressed, they do not need to hear superficial phrases saying that everything is OK or that they just need to feel better. God is not calling us to positive thinking; He is calling us to align our minds with His absolute truth revealed in Scripture. The answer to a discouraged heart is God’s permanent truth. Godly truths will lift our hearts out of despair.
Here are truths of Scripture that can encourage us. The Bible tells us that God works all things together for good for those who love Him. We can trust in that, even when we do not understand our current predicaments. The Scripture also says that our present earthly sufferings cannot be compared to the glory that will be revealed in us. Even when we are going through unexplainable difficulties, we can be assured that God is at work. He is working behind the scenes to turn everything around for our good and for His glory. How can we know that? Because we know the character of God.
Through reading God’s Word, we can remind ourselves of His attributes. Does God know what we are going through? Yes, He is all-knowing. Does God care about what we are going through? Yes, He does. He loves us with the love that is always faithful. Is God powerless in this situation? No, He is not. He is omnipotent. Being all-powerful, has He somehow restricted himself so that He does not involve Himself in what we are going through? No, He is sovereign over everything. He is the Lord over every single detail of our lives.
The more we can remind ourselves of God’s truths, the more accurate our perspective becomes. The Bible tells us that when God is for us, we do not need to be afraid of anyone or anything. The Scripture also says that nothing in this world can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. These truths can fill our heart with eternal hope.
