Anxiety and depression.
Anxiety and depression are definitely a battle that can wage war for our minds and hearts. It can be crippling sometimes and we need to remember that it's not a battle we can face alone. We need God, His Word, His Holy Spirit, and His people to overcome any anxiety, depression or anything.
_
When He says cast all your anxiety upon Him because He cares for you, (see 1 Peter 5:7) He means it. When He says come to Him all who are weary and heavy laden, and He will give you rest, (see Matthew 11:28-30) He means it. But the question remains...do we actually do these things are do we try to carry these burdens alone?
_
Speaking from my own experience and witnessing the experience of others, while our anxiety or depression may drive us to run from God and His Word, as follower's of Christ we need to learn to train ourselves to run to God and His Word as He is The ultimate, help, strength, healer and more that we need to over come these times.
_
We all need to speak the truth of His Word ourselves no matter how loud the opposing voices scream otherwise.
_
Are you anxious? Speak the truth of God's Word to yourself.
Is a believing friend anxious? Speak the encouragement and truth of God's Word to them.
_
May we speak a good word or The Good Word of encouragement from God's Word over our own lives or the lives of others who are facing times of anxiety and depression as He and His Word will bring joy and gladness back to us in place of anxieties and depression we face. (see Proverbs 12:25)

Speak a good Word!
