I want to share something with all of you.
I know its hard to grasp the concept of hope in the throes of a depression. But I used to say that the first step is to just believe in the "idea" of hope; That hope is a "thing" which exists. If you can just believe in the mere concept of it, then that is the first step. The second step is believing that you can apply hope to your situation. But one thing at a time. Just know that hope as a "thing", like love, light, energy, that exists.
Psalm 62: 6-9
My soul, be at rest in God alone,
from whom comes my hope.
God alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not fall.
My deliverance and honor are with God,
my strong rock; my refuge is with God.
Trust God at all times, my people!
Pour out your hearts to God our refuge!
May the peace and mercy of our Lord shower over you with an abundance of faith and hope. There is always hope.
