The World Health Organization estimates 350 million people suffer from depression globally, and depression knows no religious, racial, gender, or economic boundaries. But depression does have boundaries in terms of how it affects your life! As we journey towards a better understanding of depression and options you have, Dr. Bergina shares her knowledge and Biblical wisdom so that you too can put limits on depression and move towards complete recovery. The content in this devotional is taken from the book "Victory Over Depression With and Without Medicines" by Dr. Bergina Isbell.

While healing can be brutal and devastating it can also be beautiful and encouraging, if you allow it, our God will use you.

The book of Job is perhaps the oldest book in the Bible and is part of the wisdom books. Whether it is historically true, that is not the most important question.

In the following ten days, you will walk through the main headlines of this fascinating book.

Only two letters separate the words victor and victim, yet vastly different outcomes result from living through one or the other. With one you will conquer, the other will conquer you. My hope with this plan is that you will introspect and look into the Word of God to validate your pain, bring it to light, and try to seek healing from living under the bondage of victim mentality.
