4 Myths Christians Need to Stop Believing About Depression

Some really simple yet great thoughts on Depression in this article.

Depression is a Faith Issue
Depression Can be Prayer away
Depression isn’t physical
Depression shouldn’t be talked about

“By talking about depression, we slowly begin loosening its grip—allowing us to move in the direction of treatment, support and healing.

My deepest prayer is that as a body of believers, our attitudes would shift and our hearts would change as we work through this important issue. May we create an environment where we embrace those who are struggling and in pain rather than push them away. May we learn to be transparent—but more so, to accept the transparency of those around us.

Because at the end of the day, our weakness will always, always point us to the one who can make us strong. And isn’t that what Christianity is really about?”
