"ANXIETY IN THE HEART OF MAN CAUSES DEPRESSION"

Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.(proverb 12:25). I want to share does good words which will make your heart rejoice again in the Lord.What do you do when things before you look like hill or looks like mountains? David said in Psalms 121:1-2 I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where comes my help? my help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.

Its true in our journey we face many situations looks like hills were by its impossible to see the other side of it, I have ever been in such situation and I asked my self the same question where will my help come from?, some times when the things you have put in your trust have failed you or friends, business and other things. When we read the second verse it gives the good helper will come from the Lord who created heaven and the earth. I have learnt a reason in all situations which have come on my way always to trust in the Lord, the bad thing is you can’t know what the Lord will do next!! He is the only one knows the other side of the hills you are facing.

I want to share this with you my dear FRIEND our God is a faithful LORD when you lift your eyes to HIM, He will never fail you. Job said in Job 23:10 “He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold”. I want you to imagine the situation in which Job is passing through at this moment when the friends have forsaken him, his children have died and his life is going through a great pain the things in which he has trust in has been destroyed, but in his confection he says “When He has tested me I will come out like gold” Never loose hope in the Lord your God when you face any situation beyond your understanding; God has the Answer. Jesus encourages us never to be worried for anything because our heavenly father is in control (matt 6:25-33) He cares for the birds in the air by feeding them, they do not grow or treasure anything but He is faithfully to care the same He does on the glass which is here for the short time, so He is more faithfully to care for us more than we think.

Now what to do if we are troubled and worried?? Paul encourages us in (Phil4:4, 6 “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice” It’s so important to keep our joy in the Lord not in the things we trust or see. The source of our joy must be In our savoir and Lord Jesus Christ who died for us and forgave our sins and bought for us a new life above all He made us to be heavenly citizen. Verse 6 gives us the steps to over come the Anxious when he says; “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God” Take everything to God through prayer He is the answer to what you think its beyond your understanding. I have seen God on my side in difficult situations and He has been so faithful to take me through, so dear friend let us be encouraged in all situations we are facing our God cares and He is in control. He will make us through.Iam keeping you in my daily prayers and I believe my God will take you through, tomorrow you will give testimony how God has stood with you. May the almighty God keep you well, In Jesus' love. Kaliba Youth Pastor.
