  1. Part 4: Release From Depression

  2. DEPRESSION IS REAL

  3. Lamentations 5:1-5(NIV1984) 1Remember, O Lord, what has happened to us;    look, and see our disgrace.2 Our inheritance has been turned over to aliens,    our homes to foreigners.3 We have become orphans and fatherless,    our mothers like widows.4 We must buy the water we drink;    our wood can be had only at a price.5 Those who pursue us are at our heels;    we are weary and find no rest.

  4. Lamentations 5:6-10(NIV1984) 6 We submitted to Egypt and Assyria    to get enough bread.7 Our fathers sinned and are no more,    and we bear their punishment.8 Slaves rule over us,    and there is none to free us from their hands.9 We get our bread at the risk of our lives    because of the sword in the desert.10 Our skin is hot as an oven,    feverish from hunger.

  5. Lamentations 5:19-22(NIV1984) 19 You, O Lord, reign forever;    your throne endures from generation to generation.20 Why do you always forget us?    Why do you forsake us so long?21 Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may return;    renew our days as of old22 unless you have utterly rejected us    and are angry with us beyond measure.

  6. Psalm 6:6-7(NLT) I am worn out from sobbing.    All night I flood my bed with weeping,    drenching it with my tears.7 My vision is blurred by grief;    my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.

  7. 1 Kings 19:4b-5(NIV1984) …“I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life; I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep.

  8. Released From Depression • Seek help

  9. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12(NLT) 9 Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. 10 If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble. 11 Likewise, two people lying close together can keep each other warm. But how can one be warm alone? 12 A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

  11. Philippians 4:8(NLT) 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

  22. Lamentations 3:19-25(NIV1984) 19 I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. 20I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. 21Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: 22Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.” 25The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
