To Alina: Ya, that was a nice song but problem is that now it is making me depressed.

TODAY'S POST

Some things in life are simply beyond our control. There are some things and some circumstances in my life that I wish in my heart will change but I know in my head that it will NEVER happen. I got depressed for almost the whole day just thinking about these, depressed enough to trigger a mild asthma attack! It has been at least 7 years since I last felt so depressed! Doubly worse when I am depressed about things that I cannot share with any other humans on earth! Who to turn to?

Fortunately, as in the past when I was depressed, I prayed and talked to God for almost thirty minutes about my sources of depression and I felt better after that! It is not that God doesn't know our problems. As an all-knowing God, He knows all these things without us telling Him but God wants us to bring our problems to Him and acknowledge his control over our lives. What man proposes, God disposes. I must learn to accept what I can't change in my life. I must trust that God has a better plan for me that is ultimately better than what I would expect. After all, that has happened before in my life. Generally, God has never let me down all these years. He has shown that He can be trusted in the past. One example, I shared before was when he sent me to BSS even though I did not want to be posted there. I only understood His purpose for me there after I left the school.

Of course, that does not mean I won't feel depressed again. I am only human and a very emo one too! I will feel depressed again but i have to always remember the words of this song which we sing in church sometimes which reflects what God has promised to those who have a relationship with Him through our faith in Jesus Christ.

SONG THAT INSPIRED ME TODAY THAT I MUST REMEMBER WHEN DEPRESSED!

What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?

Is there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged;

Take it to the Lord (Jesus) in prayer!

Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness;

Take it to the Lord (Jesus) in prayer!

Are we weak and heavyladen,

Burdened with a load of care?

Jesus only is our refuge.

Take it to the Lord (Jesus) in prayer!

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord (Jesus) in prayer!

In His arms, He'll take and shield you,

You will find a solace there.

Amen.
