Managing stress
Focus: How to behave in the face of a ‘stress test’ Galatians 5:25 (NKJV) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Some circumstances can be a cause of stress—such as your workplace or your finances—but what about people who seem to thrive on causing stress? What about people you may have to face periodically—or constantly? You may have the best of intentions when you wake up in…

You're not alone
You’re not alone
Focus: Laying hold of the reward Isaiah 58:10b-12 (NKJV) Then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday. The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall…

Finding the heart
Focus: Laying down your will Philippians 2:14-15 (NKJV) Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world… Whether you have a ‘plan’ of your own—or not, it doesn’t come naturally for any of us to always be agreeable to the plans of…

Right relationships
Focus: The power of agreement in prayer Matthew 18:19 (NKJV) “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.” Prayer is so important to anyone’s recovery from depression and dependency. Simply talking to God brings…

Keeping yourself clean
Focus: Encouraging yourself in the Lord Philippians 3:12 (NKJV) Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. The best way to keep yourself clean on the recovery road is to not let down your guard, thinking you’ve ‘arrived’. Don’t forget for a minute—recovery is a journey, not a destination.…

Forgiveness
Focus: The healing power of confession James 5:16 (NKJV) Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. After my second marriage failed, I thought I’d be alone the rest of my life. On several occasions, guys asked me out and I turned them down. I thought it would be worthless to date…

Justice
Focus: Receiving justice through relationship Matthew 20:25-28 (NKJV) But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your…

Finances
Focus: Seeking God for wisdom in financial concerns Matthew 16:26 (NKJV) For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? A lack of finances could be a contributor to depression, but not all people who are depressed are suffering financially. People who have enough money are often obsessed with thoughts of fear…

Legacy
Focus: Waiting for the Legacy Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. When my sisters and I were kids, our parents took us ‘rock hunting’. There was an old limestone quarry an hour or so from where we lived that was a perfect spot to find quartz crystals and iron pyrite. I’m not sure if it was an active excavation…

The power of the tongue
Focus: Showers of blessing Proverbs 12:25 (NKJV) Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad. You’ve spent time wondering how you will ever come through this period of your life and be able to know true and lasting happiness. In spite of everything you’ve tried, your cares and concerns weigh on you and have affected the way you look at practically everything. When…

Restoration
Focus: The God Who restores Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Even when you’re trying to do things right, it’s easy to get side-tracked. You have good intentions and feel like you’re going in the right direction, but somewhere along the way, you…

Overcoming
Focus: Finding the will to avoid the ‘stupid stuff’ 2 Timothy 2:23 (NKJV) But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife. One of the biggest things that might keep any person from moving ahead as a true overcomer is knowing how to break old patterns involving conversation with people who tend to know how to push all the wrong buttons. In other words…figuring out how to…

Pain
Focus: Pain and sickness 1 Peter 4:19 (NKJV) Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good, as to a faithful Creator. Some people feel that pain and sickness are a sign of sin. Sometimes, that might be true—but not all of the time. The Bible has many references to pain and sickness. The apostle Paul, who wrote a significant portion of the New…

Waiting on God
Focus: Seeing with the eyes of faith Psalm 27:14 (NKJV) Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! Whatever is troubling you today, wait on the Lord. The word He has given over and over in times of trouble or indecision is—‘When in doubt, Don’t’. If there is something you are contemplating that is gnawing at you, and the way is not…

Bitterness
Focus: Bitterness and prayer Matthew 5:44-45a (NKJV) But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven… When someone has deeply offended you, or when you live in an offensive relationship—finding relief from words or actions that caused the pain can be hard. If the battle is ongoing, you may barely have time to catch your…

Anger
Focus: What’s below the surface Romans 14:19 (NKJV) Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. When you’re in a season of deep emotional pain, you have choices to make—choices that will affect you and the people around you—choices that will possibly affect the quality of your future and theirs. In your lifetime, you have endured many…

Cultivating the will to live
Focus: Your amazing future 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NKJV) But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” Can you believe God has wonderful things prepared for you to do? Better things than you’ve seen or heard, so far? Things that have never entered your mind? What if everything you’ve seen of…
