For those fighting a spiritual battle of depression, the Bible reminds us to rejoice in the Lord always! (Phil. 4:4) Praising the Lord in the midst of our pain is the greatest thing we can do because when we fix our attention and rejoice in the good things He has done, we make Him bigger than our problems and leave no space for our problems to reside.
 
 
 Refresh your mind - Spiritual Battles of Depression: Short Sermon Series by TCCO
 
 
What we think about and focus on also has the power to affect our lives. It’s important to refresh our minds with the promises found in God’s word! When we spend time reading and digesting His word, it sinks in and begins to change us from the inside out. The word of God is alive and powerful (Heb. 4:12) and it has the ability to change the way we see ourselves and our future!
