Well I guess you knew that and I think those of us who gathered tonight to discuss it already knew too, but we had a good discussion about the subject, especially discovering the Bible has more to say than we thought.
Of particular note: the story of Elijah and what happend after his great victory over the prophets of Baal. Amazing how God looks after him in his post-victory depression.
God helps the depressed Elijah in at least five ways:
1. he gives him food
2. he gives him drink
3. he lets him rest
4. he tells him some positive truths
5. he gives him some simple tasks
So now the challenge:
think of someone you know who is depressed and think of five things you could do to help them.
Clue: don't say "cheer up"
