Depression the storm rages on!

Depression is a very sneaky thing. Each and everyday things happen to us good and bad, we march on not feeling the effects until we wake one day to feel downcast. My soul is in pain today, I carry the pain of my own personal disappoints and sorrow from my failures. I am a good soul most always but at times my struggle is deep and dark and overwhelming. There are days when I could lash out a whipping on each and very person I meet but for the Holy Spirit keeping me. I know this struggle is temporary so I press on even though I am weary.
Depression takes the mind by storm and clouds every thought and deadens the emotions till they all look the same. I am no friend to this state of mind, I have fought this battle more times than I can tell. The good news is I have the courage to fight again. I will move forward and I will not fear this enemy of mine but I will be calm and learn all I can so as not to have to visit this place again. Truth is I do not know why or when this tempest shall come but having weathered this storm before I feel certain I can endure one more. Depression is a foe and I am its enemy for I shall never surrender and I shall never give in. I Shall remain steadfast and I shall overcome with gladness that which has set out to numb me and rob me of all the joy life has given me. Today I will find joy in every little thing because to do otherwise would render me void and useless and I am anything but! I shall overcome the darkness with hope and faith because I have faced bigger storms before and here I am still standing. Today I shall dance in the rain, not in spite of it but because of it and to dance while a storm in me rages on only makes me stronger!
