When Satan wants to really make a lie stick in your
life he will mingle it with truth. 
Recommendations for the Depressed:
- Cling to the promise that the Lord will never
     leave or forsake you
- Take in consolation from God’s Word and prayer
     in consistent doses
- Respond to the Holy Spirit if He places His finger on any
     sin
- Set your mind on truth
- Reach out to others in the body of
     Christ
- Pursue counseling
- Take necessary steps to improve your overall health
- Talk to your medical doctor
- If you are
     having thoughts of suicide, reach out to someone right away: Call
     1-800-SUICIDE, or call 911, or go to an emergency room for immediate help
