If you are having trouble seeing and feeling God, God is your vindication. God is your way to turn your attitude around. Depression is just a downward spiral that goes deeper and deeper until you feel that there is no way out. This is the battle that Satan wages; it is a victory for him to get a Bible believer to give up on God. This is what he tries to do all along. Do not let him get this victory. Let people of the church journey with you and support you and love you. And for those who feel close to God right now and understand God’s hope, with God’s peace, take a look at the way you currently live a life of service for God. Where can you improve? You can find some area of the four to focus on as you place God as priority number one this year: Can you praise God more often? Do you need to reimagine your prayer dedication? Do you need to get better at listening? Or do you need get better at sharing so that all the nations might see the glory of the Lord, and so that someone new might come to find the hope that you have found? You may need growth in all four; but I challenge you to pick one to focus on in 2022. I have chosen to focus on prayer. Only you know your own deepest need. But whatever your choice; know this. God is your vindication. God is your turnaround.
