Many men (and women) of God experience/experienced depression. And yes, it is what we do with it.

That ol' enemy tries his best to throw ev'ry thing but the kitchen sink at us.

Know what? He needs to be kicked to da curb in the name o' Jesus and told that he wants to speak with US again, that he needs to go through Jesus first.

i wrote something about this....want me to post it?
Sure, sounds good.

Psalms 77:4 You hold my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
5 I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit [a]makes diligent search.

7 Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
8 Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His promise failed forevermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

10 And I said, “This is my [c]anguish;
But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the works of the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
12 I will also meditate on all Your work,
And talk of Your deeds.

Psalm 130:3 If You, Lord, should [a]mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.

Found it.

(Our "self talk" is brutal.......actually it's the enemy prompting us to rip ourselves to shreds)

Self Talk.

"I be gettin' tired o' this pit. Darkness is losin' its 'charm'. Whispers of despair and hopelessness got some nerve. Who you think y'all are talkin' to? I been listenin' to yer lies and believin' them like they was gospel. Just who do you think you are, sneakin' in here and kickin' folks when they're down? Partyin' over my huddled up crumpled soul? Dancin' on the pieces of my heart strewn on the floor....

Thought I was a 'goner' didn't ya'? So did I. Almost made me forget I got me some armour. That my hands were taught to war, and that my Teacher is the best. That you are of no consequence. That He is a Lifter of my Head, my Fortress, and my Strong Tower. He is my Sheild, my Defender, my Protector.

So if you got somethin' to say....say it to Him."

the enemy is such a bully, isn't he?

He gets our attention off of God, and then tells us the lie that we're alone and God is finished with us.

He's SUCH a liar.

shine that light!!!!

Amen sister.

Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd,
I [a]shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He guides me in the [c]paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the [d]valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no [e]evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You [f]have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
6 [g]Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will [h]dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
