Prayer Request

I have talked with so many people fighting depression and fatigue. I have fought it myself or rather given in to it. I have run and hid myself away when it hit so terribly. Now I have chosen to fight.I fight it with God's Word and what He says over me and what He says I have in Him. I fight it daily..but I fight. No more will it control my life and steal my blessings! Depression is hard because you feel like every negative thought you are having could only be the truth because you feel it so strongly.When I forced myself to get out and asked God to help me I was surprised at how little by little I was feeling better and stronger. I will continue to fight this with God's help. I have proven time and again that on my own I am weak against it and just give in. Fatigue is linked with depression because of the strength it depletes from your spirit. I never realized before that keeping my eyes on all that was wrong with me, especially all the physical pain and limitations or all that I was not or all that hurt or bothered me was in a sense making myself my own idol. It was what was on my mind daily. It was what I based my choices around.It took the place of God in my life to the point that I was living for it and not Him. Depression hurts and is a torturer. God is Life and Love and He will lead you to healing. You have to daily walk in that healing though..make choices based on the healing He promised and not the feelings you are feeling.It's time to fight children! Fight to get back what the enemy has stolen! Your joy,your peace,your contentment,your blessings,your potential,your hope,your excited expectation of good things,your seed to sow into others. Fight! Use His Word,His promises and fight this!
