The OPTIONS for healing are endless, yet we have little control over them.
God does.
There is a possibility that we can recover from certain depressions – and other mental health illnesses. Not all, of course. There are some ailments that seem to be immobile. But then, by God's grace, anything can change.
Breaking anything out of the mind is not a violent phenomenon at all.
We have to get it right once we start.
But what is not violence has an impact and has a magical feel to it. It is simply a paradigm shift that is taking place. Firstly, and secondly, the courage to act in the moment - without delay.
The first is God's miraculous operation of revelation. The second is our immediate obedience to God's calling, which is inserted into our lives to a very certain degree.
We can pray for a miracle. When we receive it, we don't like to ignore what is being asked of us because of fear or doubt. God will not want us to go into personal danger.
But we are almost always being asked to take a risk - to give up something precious. Sometimes when we are asked to give something up—like what happened to Abraham in Genesis 22—God won't actually require it. However, we must be fully prepared to give up anything or start anything that God leads us to do to help.
The "smash out" happens suddenly, but may require some support to complete.
It may help to have a wise and trusted counselor or two to guide us on our journey.
When I write, I fear being responsible for how I describe it in detail. I have experienced this divine help more than once - more than once in depression and once after a two-week bout of stranger anxiety.
Central to our ability to get God a way out is tenacity to seek.
If we are desperate to restore our health, God should see our tenacity and help us with His revelation. However, there is so much wisdom to sift through and experience.
The search will require a lot of patience.
No one wants to stay like that in a storm of depression. Everyone wants a viable way out. There is no one-size-fits-all approach that works. But if we really desire to work hard in courage, there is great hope of restoration to health.
Note: We should never take treating depression for granted. We should never suggest that a person is weak because they are depressed and unable to overcome it. Ironically, it takes a lot of courage and strength to endure depression
