Overcoming My Depression Part One

Overcoming my depression. How can I best accomplish it in the troubled times like these? Frequently I recite in my mind my favorite Bible verse John 3:16, "For God so loved the world he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Whatever befalls my lot in my earthly life, from the age of sixty-four to the age of sixty-five October 04, 2019, I have inherited God's free gift of eternal life! It is my faith and belief in God's blessed assurance that grants me peace of mind even in the midst of letting the United States' government shutdown. Amidst the fact, I did receive my February's EBT food allotment. I might not receive my March benefits! There is a lady cashier at our local Everett Dollar Tree, who is not on Section 8 Housing, who did receive $200.00 in food benefits. It is her only source of food. She makes the princely sum of about $200.00 dollars a month. She works only two days a week once the Christmas holiday shopping season has ended. There was an unfortunate federal government employee who held up a sign on a local news station. I think it may have been the PBS station channel 9. He had an empty plate which needed food! The federal government he had based his lively hood on had failed him completely! Although man has failed him, God in heaven above hears the cry of the poor and needy always! Southern boarder of the United States of America is essential. Democrats and Republications disagree. President Donald Trump wants a boarder wall. The Democrats want to rely upon people and possibly technology. They both agree it is necessary. However they both disagree on how it should be accomplished. Watching the news channels sometimes is very depressing for me! Watching the weather channel on channel 78 Comcast, I have prayed over the weather etc. Watching Christian television, I pray over the invitation to do so. Focusing on the troubles of others, and how they have overcome, due to the mercy of their LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Praying with television hosts over the physical, spiritual, and psychological problems for example helps take my mind off of mine own. Writing journals, such as this one, on-line or by hand works! and short-stories works! Having a Compass Health support network works! Having supportive Christian and other friends praying over me works! Love as always, Roxanne Lea Dubarry Roxy Lea Dubarry Roxy 54/October Country January 29, 2019
