                                               DEPRESSION

Oh Lord, this is all desire--to walk along the path of life that Thous hast appointed me

even as Jesus my Lord would walk along it, in steadfastness of faith, in meekness of spirit.

in lowliness of spirt, in lowliness of heart, in gentleness of love. And because outward events have so much power in scattering my thoughts and disturbing the inward peace in which alone the voice of Thy spirit is heard, do Thou gracious Lord. calm and settle my soul by that subduing power

which alone can bring all thoughts and desires of the heart into captivity to Thyself. All I have is Thine: do Thou with all as seems best to Thy divine will: for I know not what is best. Let not the cares or duties of this life press on me too heavily: but lighten my burden, that I may follow Thy way in quitness, filled with thankfulness for Thy merxy, and rendering acceptable service unto Thee.

 Maria Hare (1798-1870)

Life is what you make it, So it makes no sence to complain when things don't go exactly as you planned it, You need to pay close attention to yourself from as young as you can recall.. How? We all remember from a certain point in life, There are the times we felt the happiest, sadest, most comfortable.It might be a certain sent, A Phrase from some loved one that has stuck in our mines..What ever the case may be only our individual self knows what there are, If they are unpleasent, Talk about it, get to the Root, If they are pleasent, and loving memories share then. Remember when as children we looked to our Parents for answers? Well just remember that God is our creator, He send us His only Begotton Son, Who Shad His Blood for us, We turn to Him and as a good and loving father, God Guides Us Though Life. The answers are there we just have to listen. Except his help, you will not be sorry
