How to overcome depression and anxiety biblically | The Old Path

Hello brethren.

If you are worried about dying, then depression will come. A Christian is a faithful servant of God that should never. Suffer depression. By faith we can overcome all depression and all anxieties in life.
Philippians, Chapter 4, verses 6 -7

Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

According to the parable told by the Lord Jesus Christ in the 1st century church about poor beggar, named Lazarus. All manner of hardship he encountered in his short life. Anxiety may be all around him. He didn't have anything. Nothing to eat. No money. No House of his own.

16:20 of Luke,

And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate full of sores. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table, moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried by the Angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.

From the parable, it is certain that, If you are rich, you will die. If you are poor, you will die. If you are educated, you will die. If you are illiterate, you will die also. Whatever may be the honor and the prestige added to our person and to our being it doesn't matter. We will all die. Because the Bible tells us that it is a decree and part of the will of God.

9:27 of Hebrews

And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment.

There is no such thing as reincarnation. We will only live once and we will only die after our life here on Earth. But there is another life that is to come. The Bible tells us the good news that there is a world to come. There is eternal life. Maybe Lazarus knowing this, Did not mind all anxieties in life. He was a beggar full of source. And one disturbing thing is that when dogs are licking your sores, it must be painful and he had nothing to eat. He decided to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores, ut he did not complain. There is no recorded complain of Lazarus. He lived his given life on Earth as a beggar. He did not die a millionaire. We had sores. He died a beggar. He died unfortunate. But we are better off than Lazarus. What we need is clear. Lazarus believed in God. Lazarus had faith. That's why when he died, he was taken by the Angels into Abraham's bosom. What does that mean? He will have eternal life. Like the thief on the cross, he suffered with our Lord Jesus Christ. When he said, Remember Me when thou comest into thy Kingdom, Lord. Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee. Today shall thou be with me in paradise. The Lord Jesus Christ promised him the comfort of Paradise. Our history does not end here. If you are worried about dying, then depression will come. But if you are preparing to die, then it will not be very hard to accept death because everyone will die. The living knows that they are going to die because it is appointed unto man wants to die. And there are people who died younger than you. John the Baptist died at the age 33 or 34. There are Jesus Christ died at the age of 33. There are people who die at a very young age, but there is something we must understand of dying.

Isaiah 57:1, says.

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

If you are righteous people, God will cause our death. We will be taken away. But there are people who do not understand God's will, non considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come, God who knows everything. A merciful God and a loving God may take your life not to allow you see evil.
