“Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no Physician there? Why then has not the health of the daughter of my people been restored?” Jer8:23
Depression is a huge problem. I have been coming across this increasingly more and more.
My son has a friend at school whose mother is suffering from depression. One day l sent her this devotion https://encouragingwomen.org/devotional/my-beloved/August/#August%2014 and to my surprise she sent me a message to ask me to pray for her, to thank me but to also tell me she is depressed and broken 💔 sleeps day and night and keeps taking meds to sleep… 😕
I sent her the Medicate or Heal to read right away and asked her if l could take her out for a coffee so that l can share more of our resources with her. I’m trusting that she will take me up on my offer because l would also like to share with her our Thankfulness-therapy and Psalms and Proverbs that Adina and Yvonne suggested.
What is the solution for depression? Thankfulness and praise 🙌 and loads of Gods word gathering his promises to meditate on throughout your day. Our Thankfulness therapy is simple. All you have to do is send what you are thankful for and promises to a minister daily and then turn around and do it with a friend or family member that you know is also struggling.
If you are suffering from depression and desperately need help let me know in the comments with your BNN email address and one of our ministers or interns will get back to you to start.
Thank you for sharing dear Atarah, I remember struggling so much with depression and all the pills just made me feel worse and worse until the Lord made me free of it and I want to give my Darling of the praise. I agree thankfulness and praise 🙌 and loads of Gods word is the best medicine. January I got covid and again I started getting the same feeling as I did with depression, but this time I was ready with a praise and God’s word and not enemy can win with that.
Thankfulness Therapy does seem super simple and/but healing and I love that in turn it will also help other women to begin spreading a chain of hope and healing to their friends.
Thank you for sharing Atarah dear! Depression is an evil that grows more and more in the world and attacks more and more people. Thanks to our Beloved, we have wonderful material at RMI to help women who are struggling with depression, as I once did. Gratitude and praise, these are medicine and the Word of God is the cure 🙂
God uses ALL THINGS for GOOD… when we LOVE Him and are “called” according to HIS purpose. His purpose for me today was to build a https://encouragingmen.org/thankfulness-therapy/ for MEN, fathers, sons, and uncles and also to bridge it to the women in the men’s lives—and CHILDREN TOO!!
HLM to invest and purchase pictures and even enjoy some BIZZARE encounters that I love to laugh off and also use to confirm why the strange opposition hahaha 😂😂
Now I’m on my way to make the improvements HLM to make with the men’s to the https://hopeatlast.com/thankfulness-therapy/

😢 I’m hurt that you didn’t just fix mine Atarah. It’s what we must do for each other because He desires us to be as one. It’s different if you don’t have access 🥺
