Counseling Through Your Bible Handbook
“The psychological condition affects the whole person—body, soul, and spirit—and generates a pervasive sense of hopelessness. For those in the ditch of depression, it can feel like the walls are closing in.
But depression doesn’t have to be permanent. Healing is possible, and joy can be restored.
“Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God”
(PSALM 42:5).
IS DEPRESSION THE RESULT OF SIN?
Depression is not ...a result of sin when you… — Grieve over normal losses.
— Experience natural deterioration due to the passing of years—your body chemistry can change and become compromised.
Depression can be a result of sin when you… — Suffer consequences of sinful choices, yet continue without change.
— Don’t take necessary steps for healing, seek biblical counseling, memorize Scripture, read Christian materials, get medical help when appropriate.
— Hold on to self-pity, anger, and bitterness instead of choosing to forgive.MoreLess
