Overcoming Depression The Bible has a lot to say about overcoming depression and unhappiness. The true source of happiness is for us to have a relationship with God. Many of us are depressed because we are always falling short of our expectations. Others are depressed because they just seem to not be able to please anyone. Others are not sure why they are depressed, but the lack energy and passion in their lives. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the answer for us overcoming depression. Why Am I So Unhappy: God is the answer to an unhappy life. God created us and created us for a purpose. True happiness comes from us having a sense of purpose in life and fulfilling it. If we ignore God or run from Him or hate Him, we will have an unhappy life. The Lord said in, Psalm 37:4 tells us delight ourselves in the Lord as he will give us the desires of our heart. I Am Depressed. I want to be Perfect, But I Fall Short. What Can I Do: Many people seek perfection in everything that they do. Most perfectionists lead very unhappy lives because perfection is impossible without God. Only God is perfect. The Lord said in, Proverbs 20:9 tells us we cannot be perfect by ourselves but only through a relationship with God. I Am Depressed. I Cant Seem to Please Anyone. What Am I Doing Wrong: For some people, the source of why they are unhappy is that they are too busy trying to please man instead of God. God is the only true source of joy in peoples lives, not man. God is the only one that can guarantee joy. He is the only one that has the power and the will to make people happy. The Lord said in, Proverbs 6:6 advises us not to be men pleasers, but servants of God. I Have No Energy. I Am Depressed. What Can I Do About Myself: If you continually ask yourself, “Why am I unhappy”, it may be because you do not have Christ in your life. The Bible tells us that someone that is dull, listless, and looking inward on everything is far from God. It is this type of unhappy lifestyle that negatively affects both the mind and body. The Lord said in, Matthew 13:15 tells us that someone that is depressed and listless needs the healing power of Christ. Pastor Rubin Wilson
