Cut It Out!

Depressed? Can't take it any more? Are you just ready to let it all go and give up? Feel like no one cares about you, right? He did you wrong, she played you, they lied and the list keeps going on and on. I been there too. It's the worst feeling. Depression is the leading cause of deaths in the world. Depression can cripple the very person you love. It's so easy to fall into this web. This disease.

I honestly will say this, and I know many will not agree with me and that's fine. There is no better medicine to depression then Jesus Christ. You don't need a pill, or a high priced physiologist. You need a few steps towards a positive attitude and a conversation with your creator. It is as simple as that! Whatever is causing the depression to occur just "Cut it out" of your life.Yup! Just "Cut it out" No one is in control of your happiness but you. We often like to put the blame on our situations or the people in and around our lives, even those that don't help us when we desperately need it. But honestly the problem is you.

Now as simple as that may sound, it isn't easy to recognize. That is why many people that fall under the medically diagnosed sickness called depression, believe because a doctor said "Well, mam your depressed." that indeed your depressed and sick.

 

Rebuke that sickness and that medical claim in the name of Jesus.  I was at the point of no return with my depression and I almost went to seek a medical diagnosis. A pill sounded so much easier to swallow then my reality. When in all seriousness, the reason I was in depression was because I allowed things to take control of me, instead of me taking control of them.

I am going to share some tips with you that will hopefully help you get back to the person you once were. The person that was happy and at their best. Follow the following steps and watch the changes begin to occur in your life and allow yourself the happiness you deserve!

Step 1: "Cut it out"- Remove the garbage and baggage that is holding you down. Nothing should be in your way of success, happiness, and commitment to your goals and future. Who and whatever it is needs to go NOW! Don't put it off any longer. Trust me you don't want to wait any longer. Tomorrow is never promised, and I would give anything to have one day in happiness then two in misery.

Step 2: Get on your knees and pray about it. -We are never going to be on the right track if it and on Gods course. Follow your heart but do Gods will. I have always found complete happiness when I surrendered it all to him to handle. Let God fight for you and he will!

Step 3: Set new goals. -Whether  you have not kept track of your prior goals or you have just laid them to the side, a new set of goals will motivate you to keep going. Setting a new set of goals gives you the advantage over the mistakes you made, because it's a new look on things. It is faith moving forward, believing that what is not seen will be and will come.

Step 4: Have faith! - All you need is a little faith. Faith as small as a mustard seed, moves mountains. Have faith that everything you did prior to this step will be successful. The things you cut out will stay out of your life. Have faith that God will have total control, and have faith that the new goals you set in motion today will be a success tomorrow.

These steps are the steps I took just a few days ago and I feel great! I have never felt so positive and happy in such a long time. I allowed myself to self examine what it was that was making me so depressed, angry and frustrated. When the results came in, it was simply me. I had allowed so much pain in my life, so much corruption that I no longer had control. I allowed these things and people to take control of my every emotion. I lost sight of Gods path in my life and took my own road and it lead me no where. I honestly lost all hope that I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me. One day I got up and I said "I had enough" and did all four steps I mentioned above. I wish I would of taken my own advice a long time ago.

I hope that you find happiness in the middle of your storm. If you or someone you know is going through a hard time and depression is taking over their lives, let me know below and I will keep them in prayer. The devils ultimate goal is to destroy us all in any way he can, and most often then none depression is the number one leading destroyer in families and churches to date. Don't be a victim of his torture. God can set you free!
