When I made the decision to talk about depression, they were several influencing factors. However, I am going to name two
- Depression lies and unfortunately too many homes and lives have been impacted by the darkness of this illness.
- People need to know someone cares. They need to know Jesus cares and they do not have to walk this road of brokenness alone.
Unfortunately, we know that depression is not the only contributing factor to the emotional distress people grapple with on a daily basis. I know people are struggling with so much more that they feel unable to cope with. Real people with real stories, they are aunties, uncles, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, your neighbour and the person you sit beside every week in church. Many struggles to cope and regrettably, many accept the lie that there is no way out. However, the message that we at woundstoscars have consistently given is that THERE IS A WAY OUT. This escape was made over 2000 years ago and it still stands true today. It is relevant , effective, tried and tested. The cross still stands as a symbol of freedom from anything and everything that we have been through, will go through and is battling with today. Because of what Jesus went through for us we can find release from every emotional distress. We take this message so seriously we have decided to embark on a 7 days challenge.
This information is needed and geared to teach you skills to apply the word of God, to your emotional pain. Whether it is depression, anxiety, emotional or sexual abuse, whatever the pain we will show you how to take it to the cross and find the freedom that perhaps you have searched for and have not found it in anything else.
