--GOD'S PRESENCE~~
Depression can buckle the knees of the best of us, and a pastor’s wife is no exception. Years ago my wife Denalyn battled depression. Every day was gray. Her life was loud and busy—two kids in elementary school, a third in kindergarten, and a husband who didn’t know how to get off the airplane and stay home. The days took their toll.
But Denalyn was never one to play games. On a given Sunday when the depression was suffocating, she armed herself with honesty and went to church. 'If people ask me how I’m doing, I’m going to tell them.' She answered each, “How are you” with a candid, “Not well. I’m depressed. Will you pray for me?” Casual chats became long conversations. Brief hellos became heartfelt moments of ministry. She found God’s presence amidst God’s people!He’s waiting on you, my friend. And he will get you through this!- -'When Change Comes'/ -You'll Get Through This'/ML/``/You Will Get Through This/ Max Lucado~ / "Need You Now"-by PLUMB< https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqdxFW2GaF0>
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
