“My soul melts from heaviness.” Psalm 119:28 NKJV

When you’re depressed. When depression is physiologically based, God can heal you through a miracle, the right medical treatment, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. But sometimes it goes deeper, and just like your body can suffer from “dis-ease,” so can your soul. Thankfully, God is the ultimate soul doctor!

The Bible says, “You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11 NKJV). “The ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness…sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isaiah 35:10 NKJV). “These things I have spoken…that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (John 15:11 NKJV). “Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:24 NKJV).
