Clinical depression is a physical pro-
blem that affects the brain, which is also
an organ. The symptoms result from a
chemical imbalance in the chemicals that
the brain produces. You cannot talk your-
self out of it or be talked out of. It is dev-
astating and debilitating. Treatment or a
direct miracle from God is needed.
It is the same as when any organ in
the body stops working properly and
begins to cause symptoms. For example,
if the pancreas or kidneys do not work
correctly, a person does not try to talk
himself out of the symptoms, but seeks
treatment.
Strength to Endure
God gives us strength to endure and
conquer the trials of life. When we think
we can’t, He can! When we feel weak, He
is strong. Paul wrote, “I can do all this
through him who gives me strength”
Philippians 4:13. Nothing is too hard for
us when we stay connected to the Lord.
