Depression Homework

Depression Homework assignment:

• Memorize Psalm 131
• Everyday make a list in the morning of anything that I am involving myself in that is too great for me to handle alone or accomplish within my abilities for that specific day.
• Meditate on verse 2 of Psalm 131 anytime you begin to feel depresses. Question yourself on wether or not you are controlling your emotions or if you are allowing your emotions to control you, your attitude or your speech.
• Keep a running journal on everything you are placing your hope in during the day. This will be critical in reviewing the moments or hours prior to depression setting in to see what things happened right before a depression begins. Where was your hope placed in those preceding moments? What is your hope set on during depression?
• Read Psalm 18 daily. Begin to look for what in your life is your rock. Specifically looking for what you consistently run to when you get depressed? Keep daily notes on these findings.
• Pray that God would help you to stay focused on Him and glorifying Him even during a depression by consistently fulfilling your daily responsibilities in life.
