When
you are depressed for awhile or if you are like more people than you
are aware of sometimes seriously oppressed just remember you are in good
company. 35 to 40 million people suffer from depression in America every year. Lots of great men, even men of God and women of God have been overcome by this psychological beast.
Martin Luther, the great reformer who began the protestant movement, suffered from depression. The renown preacher, Charles Spurgeon, suffered from depression. As did John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim’s Progress, the artist Van Gogh, and, of course, there was Job in the Bible. The list is long.
“How do you feel?” we ask. And what we want is for that person to affirm they feel wonderful, even if they don’t feel wonderful. What
we really need to do is let them know that while we hope they feel
good; that it is allowed if they sometimes feel down in the dumps, or
worse. That we really do care how they actually feel, and that if at the moment they cannot rise to dance and sing a tune, it’s okay.
It is not to say that we should become a nation wallowing in self-pity. But neither must we as Christians send the message by our words and actions that only the happy and hearty are acceptable.

A Quote FROM Rev. Wyrick’s 9TH BOOK “THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN”
Though much of his youth was certainly an isolated existence, there was a period when their home was on the main road from Louisville to Nashville.
Running right by their cabin door, it gave Lincoln
the advantage of countless meetings with multi-thinking travelers. By
the time the family moved again, when he was seven, he had to have
listened scads of times to discussions about how government could, and
needed to, improve on the shakiness of land ownership because of
uncertain boundaries, high interest rates and slavery.
It was during this same time that America
nearly lost its future president before they lost him to an
assassination. He almost drowned in a creek. But it didn’t happen.
He was needed down the road for greater things.
