If You're Depressed and Despondent Get Some Help!
I think that in the development as a movement the Oneness Pentecostals we should now realize that not everything in life is fixed by praying through or using the normal coping skills that we all must use at intervals in our lives.

We should realize that some people need outside interventions such as medical help, specialized retreats, or even in patient treatment to remedy what could be a life threatening situation.

There is real mental illness and it can remedy a normal person helpless and with a real feeling of hopelessness. Get yourself some help, for God sake if you know someone at that point drag'em to a clinic and have them seen by a competent professional.

As long as the mental health professionals can come to the same conclusion.

The answer is not always in their hoopla and is definitely not always found in their mind altering drugs they peddle so often.

I do believe that God can deliver people from depression and other mental illnesses. However, therapists are well trained in what they do for a reason. While people can depend on God to help them stay in a stable place, therapists and the like are invaluable in the help that they can give.

You seem angry that God is getting credit... even seem to suggest, more than He deserves?

No Jeffery some people go to the doctor have surgery and thank god that they made it through and leave the Doctor out of the loop.. I am not angry and yes the doctor is the one that performed the surgery so you better be thanking him/her also along with god

I'm dismayed that pastors now recommend shrinks.
