John 10:10 "The thief come not, but that he may steal, kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly."
Are our joy and peace in the Lord being robbed from us? We can do something about it, because God has given us the word "in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
It's not easy to give thanks, especially when one feels discouraged, but it is necessary, and because God wants us to do just that. Depression can only lead to more negative consequences.
No, don't wallow in depression, don't mull over the negative words or hurt. Instead, pour out your heart to God, ask Him to help you go through whatever situation you are facing. Praise Him and thank Him for being the wonderful God and Father that He is. He is faithful to see you through, and He wants you to get back your peace and joy in Him, and to have the abundance of life that He came to give you.
