After my hospital stay in the spring of 2023, I suffered from depression; my husband pointed it out to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having an unexpected, life-threatening issue and surgery traumatized me. I went from teaching a tennis lesson to lying in a hospital bed for four days. Once the doctor removed the blood clot and I recovered, I felt fine. But my mind couldn\u2019t keep up with my body\u2019s trauma, and I sunk into a depression as I struggled with mortality and the fragility of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My spirit needed time to process the events, and when Ron pointed out my depression, through therapy and medication, I worked through it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The National Institute of Health estimates that 21 million adults struggle with depression. Get help; you can overcome depression with proper care. God wants us to live life to the fullest, giving us the tools to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Revitalize your spirit through God\u2019s word.\u00a0 Seek professional help if necessary.\u00a0 Develop a healthy spirit by seeking help if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, I pray for those struggling with depression today.\u00a0 Help them find assistance for their crushed spirits.\u00a0 Lead them on the path of healing as they follow You.\u00a0 IJNIP.
