Whenever I am feeling sad, and lonely, I go to the Lord, I read the Bible and pray. I find joy and peace in my savior Jesus Christ. Reminding myself how much Jesus loves me chases away depression. The Lord wants us to have lasting joy in Him. He wants us to have life to the fullest, and happy, exciting, complete fulfilled life. The love of family, music, art, poetry, prayer, reading the Bible and educating books, taking care of children and pets, watching Christian TV, enjoying church, friendship of fellow Christians, witnessing, spreading the gospel, all of these make a happy life. The Lord God should come first. A relationship with the Lord is a joyful experience. Joy goes deeper than happiness, it last longer, goes beyond circumstances, time, situations, conditions, experiences, etc. Paul and Silas were in chains locked up in prison and were singing hymns praising the Lord when an earthquake struck and they were set free.
Psychiatrists talk about clinical depression. I was diagnosed with depression, I take prescription medicine, right now I am a lot more joyful, happier than when I was younger, I have quit some of the sinful things I did in my youth, I pray, read Bible a lot more. I have found 'Jesus Joy!'
