I have been suffering from depression brought on by prolonged stress. I have been stressed even before we moved here but in those days I always found time to read God's Word, reflect, worship and pray in tongues. Since we moved here, I had been lax. And now I am reaping the fruits of my laziness. But I know that the Words of God are life and my mind, body and emotions can only be restored again if I keep my time with God and feed on His word.
Today, I read a few chapters from Psalms. I claimed the promises of God in His Word for restoration of my body, soul and spirit:
Psalm 19
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
John 6:63
"...The spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life..."
John 6:68
Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life..."Photo: Shakespear Park, Auckland
