MENTAL HEALTH NEWS: Spiritual Approach To Depression

VICTORIA, British Columbia - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- When depressed some years ago because of a painful loss, I was sinking and stuck in despair. Then I thought that the angels are watching, looking down from above, and able to see my life from beginning to end. They can see the valleys and mountains of my life, and they are wondering how I will face the present challenge. Will I be stopped and give up, defeated? Or will I move forward and on to the next challenge?

On realizing this, being raised to the level of the angel view, and seeing my life from beginning to end, I understood that life is an adventure with obstacles and challenges, mountains and valleys.

I concluded that my life will improve if I can persevere. I saw that the sense of loss and depression were only temporary and that other challenges await.

When I saw the angel view my depression lifted, and I felt free to go forward in my life knowing that I am able to move through the momentary difficulties and challenges of life. No loss or difficulty, no matter how painful, has to be the end.

I consider this angel view understanding to be a gift of God, and I give thanks for this gift and share it now with you the reader.

The foundation of my hope and conviction are the declarations of Jesus of Nazareth:
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.  
I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest.
