Christian sermon on depression and how to overcome crisis

PSALM 59:16

By T.D. Jakes

You are a woman of excellence. You are strong and powerful in your own right. Occasionally, if God wills, He sends to an excellent woman to be a friend. Occasionally, He will send someone to sing the songs your heart longs to hear.

Occasionally, he will send a strong arm to wrap around a weary body and give you a moment of rest and tranquility. But none of these experience will ever take place of the ultimate experience. For the greatest morning you will ever know is the drawing of faith in Jesus, your Lord.

No matter what sorrow life his brought you, don’t stop until you see morning, because morning does come. It is at the end of set backs, betrayals, delays and denials, but when they’re all over, morning. It does come.

Do not allow the tragedies of life to so depress you that you lose your hope. Do not allow the bitter disappointments and looses your face to rob your expectations of daybreak.

Wake up singing hallelujah in the morning. Breathe in the fresh air, expel the stale air of your past and say, ‘I can feel the breaking of day”. And it will overcome obstacles with confidence. Rise above trauma triumph. Feel solace through sorrow. Know comfort in the midst of crisis. The morning does come!

Some year ago, John Newton penned these words during a crisis in the life. They are words to a hymn that strengthens the heart and rekindles the will to survive. He wrote.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me;

I once was lost, but now am found

Was blind but now I see.

Isn’t that what morning is all about? Stepping out of blindness into seeing? It is my prayer that the darkness will roll back from every issue in your life, like clouds being pushed across the sky by a strong wind. The Lord can do that for you. He will bring you grace. He will help you see. He watch over you through the night. Morning is drawing.
