Step 4. Refresh your awareness of God’s presence. “The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord’ “(I Kings 19:11). Nothing will refresh you like coming into the presence of God and realizing he loves and cares for you regardless of how you feel. God never promised this life would be happy, but he did promise to go with us through all our pain. If you are depressed, spend time alone with your Bible and God. As you read, allow God to speak to you and love you. There is no greater antidepressant than communication and fellowship with God.
第四,激活與神同在的意識。主說:“你出來站在山上,在我面前。”(列王記上19:11)來到神的面前,明白無論我們的感受如何他都愛我們關心我們,唯有如此才會使我們煥然一新。神從來沒有應允此生是快樂的,但他的確許諾他會陪同我們一道歷經艱難險阻。如果你覺得沮喪,花時間與圣經和神在一起吧。當你閱讀的時候,讓神對你說話和愛你。沒有比與神溝通、與神建立友誼更棒的康抑郁藥了。
