Proverbs 12:25 Heaviness in the heart of man make it stoop but a good word make it glad.
Despair and heaviness are affecting many today from children to teenagers to senior citizens. Did you know the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention reports suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. and in 2018 (48,344) Americans died by suicide. This is tragic especially since there is a known substitute to death which is life. Depression is serious and the Almighty is the answer to depression/anxiety not only pills. Pharmaceuticals (Effexor, Prozac, Zoloft, Luvox, Paxil, Celexa to name a few) only mask the effects of depression and whatever issue one is having may still remain. Psalms 42:11. Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.
