Most of the things that make us depressed are actually lies.
For Example:
“I am alone”
“I will never get over this”
“This is too hard to handle”
“I will never find anyone else”
“No one will love me”
These are all lies we tell ourselves that lead us down a
dark path of sadness and depression. We must recognize those lies and overcome
them with truth. The easiest way we can do this is by letting the light of
Christ enter into our lives. As we move towards Christ our path will be
lightened and we will be able to see hope that we can overcome these trials. It
is not an easy process in fact it is not meant to be. We must have faith to
move forward in Christ and he will guide us through the rough patches of our
journey in this life. Christ’s light will always overcome darkness, but we must
first try to seek for it.
Each one of us goes through individual trials however we
also go through trials as families. For example: the loss of a loved one, when
a loved one strays, sickness, financial problems and so much more. It is
important as a family to try to cope with these trials and move forward in
faith, realizing the eternal aspect that everything will be just fine. That is
so much easier said than do however as mentioned earlier it begins with one
step. The good thing about a family is that you can go through these trials
with them, you can progress together and you can rely on one another for
comfort and support.
Trials are necessary, “If they never should have bitter they
could not know the sweet” (D&C 29:39). I know personally that through each
trial that has been presented in my life I have learned and grown so much. I
would not be the person I am today if I hadn’t tasted the bitter and realized
how amazing the sweet truly is. Trials can help us in our lives so long as we
look toward the light of Christ and let it guide us.
