About 20 years ago, I suffered from severe depression. And to let you know how severe it was, words can’t begin to express the stronghold it had on my life. I cried constantly, I avoided people, and I contemplated suicide a multitude of times.

After experiencing this for what felt like an eternity, but was only just a few months, I sought help from an external source. I went to therapy and although it initially helped a bit, something became painfully clear to me. It also scared the daylights out of me at first thought. The realization I discovered was this,

If anyone or anything was going to pull me out of depression and despair, it had to be me. Not just me, but a level of resolve that would stand up to the thoughts of fear, hopelessness, and impending doom….

At that time, I don’t even really know if I could say my prayers was being heard, but I knew it was my last hope. I needed to have faith in something, and in choosing to have faith in God, God gave me faith in myself. He helped me to overcome depression one step at a time. Here’s how.
