For me, having a close relationship with God has helped me overcome my very severe depression that i've battled off and on for 27 years. I believe God allows us to go through difficult times to develop Character in us. Every day when i focus on God, and know that He has a purpose for my life, a plan, i put my trust in Him and just knowing that he is in control of every detail of my life makes me feel better. He wants to see how i deal with my 'trials'..am i just going to give up? Or am i going to trust in Him and push forward trusting Him to give me the strength that i need. He also promises to never give us more than we can bare. This works for me..Praise God!
I also take medication, i believe God gave us Meds and it's absolutely necessary to take them when needed.

Yeah, no problem. There are so many ways he has helped me 'overcome'.. one is by giving me strength, courage, wisdom, and peace of mind. The other is by giving me faith in him, faith that he will never leave or forsake me, faith that he will never give me more than i can bare, faith that 'greater is he who is in me, than he who is in the world.' Faith that i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Faith that if i draw near to him, he will draw near to me. I really could go on and on.-Dan

There is a typo error in the subject line where I double keyed the letter "e" and typed a "t" by accident.
The corrected subject line is:
Lou's reply to SteelyDan-hdecevr
These letters are for my purposes for identification so that if I return to the post the code tells me what is in the post. The leters could be a code for alyric or a song title or something else that is from my memory that could relate to the text.

>Greater is He who is in me (Jesus), than he (Satan) who is in the world. My faith in God, and His many promises in His word (The Bible) help me a lot, because i believe them to be true. One that i love is; No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love Him. For me, just knowing/believing that the God who created the whole universe and all that is in it, loves me and cares about every detail of my life, brings great joy and peace to my heart and mind!
