WARNING: This is a difficult episode about depression. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself please contact the Suicide Lifeline 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
This one probably should include more warnings like Made For Mature Audiences or Listen At Your Own Risk. But this is real and many people are struggling in silence.
This is something I was concerned would happen. As some of you know I fight Chronic Depression. I had a particularly nasty bout a few days ago and still not fully on the other side.
When I was praying about starting a podcast, I was a little worried this might happen...that there might come a time when I would be in the midst of a battle and have to record an episode.
So this one is more raw than any previously recorded. I have no answers to share other than, God is good. He will ALWAYS BE GOOD no matter what I'm fighting or what you are fighting. That is the one simple TRUTH I can anchor myself to. That does not mean I have any understanding. It just means I can hold onto that. Therefore, if I can believe that, can I go to the next step, the next truth, which is God loves me.
These are the first two steps I see in how to get out of the pit the enemy just pushed, pulled, kicked or slammed you into.
This is dedicated to all of you who fight this kind of battle that no one else understands.
If you can hold onto nothing else, hold onto the belief that God is good. If you need more support please reach out to the Suicide Lifeline number 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). You are worth more than you can possibly imagine.
