Step 5. Redirect your life. God gave Elijah a new assignment. “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram” (I Kings 19:15). The fastest way to defeat depression is to quit drowning in self-pity. Take your eyes off yourself and start looking at the needs of others. Find people who are less fortunate and invest your life in them. When you give yourself to others, God will give to you. Jesus said, “Whosoever loses his life for me will find it” (Matthew 16:25).
第五,重新開(kāi)始生活。神給了以利亞一個(gè)新的指示“你回去,從曠野往大馬士革去。到了那里,就要膏哈薛作亞蘭王”(列王記上19:15)。對(duì)付抑郁最快速的方法就是放棄沉溺在自憐中。把視線移離自己并開(kāi)始關(guān)注他人的需要。尋找那些生活不太順利的人并把你的生命投入其中。當(dāng)你把自己奉獻(xiàn)給他人時(shí),神就會(huì)給你。耶穌說(shuō):“凡為我喪掉生命的,必得著生命”(馬太福音16:25)。
