Study 6A THE CAUSES AND CURE FOR DEPRESSION
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 77)
Most of us know what depression is, and few can claim that they have never experienced depression of any kind. Certainly the psalmist was depressed when he wrote Psalm 77; and since he knew what depression was, and we know it also, we shall base this study upon two books –- the Book of God and the Book of Human Experience. What gloomy and depressing reading this psalm makes! Have you ever felt like verses 2, 3 and 4? And have you ever said verses 7, 8 and 9?
# NOTICE THAT DEPRESSION AFFECTS US IN AT LEAST FOUR WAYS
1. It overwhelms our spirit. The psalmist tells us this in verse 3. One dictionary definition of depression is “a lowering of the spirit”. How often some of us have experienced this! For some unaccountable reason we have found ourselves down in the depths –- our spirit has been defeated, dejected and overwhelmed.
2. It awakens our memory. In verse 6 the psalmist tells us that in his time of depression he remembered the times when he had been able to sing, even in the night – but not now! When he compared that time with this time he longed that this time could be like that time – and the very memory of it made him more miserable!
3. It robs us of sleep. In verse 4, he tells us that when he went to bed his eyelids refused to close. Depression does that, and so do its relatives – worry and anxiety. Depression is usually worse at night than in the day.
4. It seals our lips. In verse 4, the psalmist says, “I was too troubled to speak!” Have you ever been in that condition? There are two causes of dumbness: preoccupation and depression. We can easily rouse ourselves out of our preoccupation, but not out of our depression.
Watch out for the concluding part of this study where we shall looking into the various causes of depression. Please shake off depression, Jesus in us the hope of Glory.
