Many of us will feel down from time to time. right…. It’s a normal part of life and a part of what makes us human.

But, for some, feeling down can turn into something more that affects our emotional stability. And that’s what depression is. It affects us mentally and causes us to be afflicted with sadness and hopelessness for an extended time.

It produces a loss of interest in activities, life, family, and work….  causing significant impairment in daily life.

Depression is a heavy burden to carry, and Jesus reminds us that he will lift the heavy loads off our souls.  Want to read Matthew 11:28-30

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. That's the KJV of the bible.
