In June 1999 Jonathan Aitken, the disgraced cabinet minister, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment for perjury. During this period he found the cure for his deep depression lay in the wisdom of the book of Psalms in the Bible.
As an example, about 1000BC David wrote in Psalm 42, “Why are you cast down O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God.” He knew that doubt and unbelief were killing his soul’s joy and that faith in God alone could bring it back.
Depressed? Start talking to your soul and tell it to stop complaining and to start trusting in God.
