Depression

When you are depressed... pray for Joy.

God does not look for endless confession.
It is the enemy that accuses the faithful, not God.

Look at how Jesus taught us to pray; (Matthew 6:9-13); start with praise, then simply ask for forgiveness, and move on. God's forgiveness is assured. In fact if there is ANY prerequisite for forgiveness it is not confession, but to BE forgiving.

I feel compelled to add certain standard recommendations for anyone struggling with depression. Get a complete physical (because there sometimes ARE physical causes). Embrace a healthy lifestyle.. eat healthy, exercise, avoid things that pollute/harm your body.
