Encouragement during depression

Winter Thought

Winter wraps its steely fingers 'round my mind
Freezing thoughts aborning
Everything that breaks on my consciousness
Is covered in frost
But somewhere...hidden...
'Neath the frostline
A faint memory
A heartbeat
A pulse
However faint
Distracting me
And in that moment
I feel the breath of Spring beneath the snow
Tiny trickles flow
From an ocean of frozen hope.

In the last few years I have written poetry to try to deal with some of the rough spots in my life. Some of these, I think, are fairly encouraging. If these are not appropriate here and need to go on the poetry thread just let me know. I thought they might be useful here.

One of the lines in this song says "There's an army rising up to break every chain...." I think we are that army. You may not feel like a soldier today, but I bet you know the feeling of being under attack. Could it be that the reason you and I are under attack is that we are that army and the enemy wants to keep us down, so that we can't help free others in Jesus power and name. I think that's exactly what it is. Let's not fall for the enemy's tricks. Let's believe that Jesus truly can and will break every chain. And let's do everything we can to cooperate with Him.
