When I feel sad I put my faith in God the father and the Son Jesus Christ who died on the cross for me and in three day rose again from the dead, showing to all of us without hope that there is life after death. God inspires me because he loves me and you! Know We are all hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed! (2 Cor. 4:8-9)The Bible says: God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) I love to know in my heart and soul that I am loved and valued! I love to know that Jesus died for me so I could one day have heaven! You see Jesus was flogged or beaten over 40 times, as Jesus stood silent, he was humiliated, degraded, mocked, striped naked, had jammed a crown of thorns on this head and was then nailed to a cross only after he had walked nearly a mile with a heavy crossbeam to his back! Why? You ask: The Bible answers that? For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in his steps, Jesus who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in his mouth; and while being reviled, he did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting himself to him who judges righteously. (1 Peter 2:21-23) Christ hung on the cross for six hours before he died, He was there from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon. In spite of such enormous discomfort and indescribable pain, Jesus ONLY spoke words of genuine forgiveness to those who affiliated so much pain and anger to him! From the cross Jesus Spoke: "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." What? I know if that where me I would be very angry and not be forgiving men for doing all that to me! But, the fact is the Jesus was God in Human form so Jesus was and is perfect, he died for are imperfectness, sin and are anger! I don't know about you but that really cheers me up and drives me to be the best I can because the fact is I can NEVER pay the full price for what God has already payed in full for Me! That is why I know when I get nervous and sad about life, I give it to Jesus! And he always comes though! I have dealt with depression and the one thing that really turned my life around was: 1. Knowing that God and Jesus Loved me and I was valued! 2. Knowing I had people on my side at church, in my social life and in my family that cared about me! and 3. I had to get myself out of the atmosphere that I was in! If all you do is stay in the darkness thinking about how it is never going to get better and think why life is not worth living. Than your going to be proving yourself right and it will not get better! I found out No matter how hard I tried or what means I used--material possessions, money, pleasure, drugs, etc...the emptiness was still there. But, if you build a personal relationship with other people and most importantly a relationship with God! Then you will see yourself back with a renewed joy! God loves us, and He wants to come into our lives and give us a joy and peace that you could never experience in any other way. Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you" John 14:27. God created you, and God loves you. His only Son, Jesus Christ, loved you so much that he gave His life on the cross so you could be saved and break free from in perfectness, sin and this depression to become a child of God. I encourage you to give Jesus all your worries and burdens. When you accept Jesus Christ into your life, something wonderful and supernatural happens. God Himself comes to dwell within you! You become part of His family, and you can know the joy of His presence every day. Pray right now and I encourage you reading this to invite Jesus into your heart. Once I was so sad because I felt life had no purpose, no inspiration or Hope and the only way am still alive is because my faith in Jesus saved me and he showed me the better life I could be living if only I put my faith and trust in Him. I encourage you to read a bible right now! Start with the gospel of John! There you will find a story of a man named John the Baptist that paved the way for another man named Jesus that loves you and will bring you guidance and hope to your life, if you look to him and follow him for your life's answers instead of yourself. I can't stress enough how I know what the lows of life might give us but I also know God knows too and we really need a change of atmosphere in our lives, to get ourselves out of the darkness of doubt, no purpose and try to meet new inspiring and motivated people! Where can you meet such people you ask? A lot of Church's have small groups, support groups and some even have single groups. So, I would encourage you to do that because it wasn't till I started putting Jesus first before myself that my life started to get better, I had a whole new image of myself and I started to see how much I was really loved and valued in God's eyes.I tell you today you have so much to offer! I leave you with a passage from the bible that started to pull me out of the darkness and into the light: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make all your paths straight. Prov. 3:5-6. So, You need I pick me up! Then I would encourage you to Go to Jesus in prayer! ask him to lead your heart so you may trust him that everything will be all right and the next step you take will be right in line with what he wants for you in life, and what life is suppose to be like in serving him! Amen
In Addition, I would also like to recommend two great books to you that really cheered me up! 1. Joel Osteen's: Your Best Life Now, 7 steps to living at your full potential: 2004 2. Rick Warren's: The Purpose Driven Life: 2002.
God Bless you all in your walk with life!

Hi Blood is thicker than water,
I would like to help sheer you up but why are you so sad? If you can talk about how you are feeling and why, others can also join in and offer their support as well. Though it can be scary for some people to lay their feelings on the table, you will feel such a relief and a weight lifted off you shoulders. Maybe take a moment now and add more detail to your question, this is just a thought but have you tried calling a friend? what about watching a comedy?. They say laughter is the best medicine. I hope this helps in cheering you up.
Sincerely,
Alice H.

Why are you sad, did something happen?
If not, then ask yourself why you are feeling this way and begin to see all the great things in your life and be grateful for them.
Many people in the world don't even have the basics; food, water, a home. If you have those, be very grateful.

Picture me naked. Now you're laughing. You may also be traumatized, and for that I'm sorry. Now you're probably worse off than you were before. Boy I screwed this up. I am truly sorry. Let's see if I can make it up to you. Ummmmmmmm. :) Hope that helps! Oh, give me a break. I'm a 41 yr. old dad. Did you really think I could possibly be that funny?

A man goes to a shop, picks up a beautiful cup and says "my god this cup is so beautiful" and suddenly the cup starts talking to the man. The cup starts saying "O man, I am beautiful right now, but what was the state of my being before the pot-maker made me a beautiful pot?
Before I was sheer mud and the pot-maker pulled me out of the mud from the mother earth and I felt why that pot-maker is so cruel, he has separated me from mother earth. I felt a tremendous pain. And the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me and churned me, when I was churned I felt so giddy, so painful, so stressful, I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me into a oven and heated me up, I felt completely burnt. There was tremendous pain and I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait."
Then he poured hot paint on me and I felt the fume and the pain, I again asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then again he put me into an oven and heated it to make me more strong, I felt life is so painful hence pleaded the pot-maker and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." And after that the pot-maker took me to the mirror and said, "Now look at yourself". And surprisingly I found myself so beautiful.
When god gives us lot of trouble, it appears god is very cruel but we need patience and we have to wait. When bad things happen to good people, they become better and not bitter.
So all difficulties are part of a cosmic design to make us really beautiful. We need patience, we need understanding, we need the commitment to go through in a very calm and wise way. So all difficulties are not to tumble us but to humble us.
With this understanding, let us not be against difficulty. Understand difficulty is a part of a purifying process. A purifying process at present which we cannot understand and hence we need faith and we need trust.
Let us understand how to handle stress with this background. You can be affected by stress from two angles. There is an internal stress and there is an external stress. Nobody can avoid stress; one has to only manage stress. Managing stress can be internal and also external.
The internal stress is; your thoughts can create stress, your values can create stress, and your beliefs can create stress, meaning thereby your stress is coming from your mind more from the outer world. Many people suffer not from heart attack - they suffer from thought-attack.
For example, when somebody says you are an idiot, we get so hurt, we get so victimised. My boss has called me an idiot and I am feeling tremendous pain. Now where does this stress come from? If my boss has called me an idiot, I have to ask myself "am I an idiot"?
If I am an idiot nothing to be upset about; and if I am not an idiot, then also nothing to be upset about! It is the perception of the boss. But why do we suffer from that stress? I suffer not because my boss has called me an idiot but because of the thought-attack.
I may say the boss has called me an idiot; therefore I am suffering? It is true that the words are unpleasant. But what hurts is the interpretation of the unpleasant word. The thought in me interprets. That is pain and therefore it becomes pain. Much of our stress is our mind interpreting it as pain. So we suffer from thought-attack more than heart attack.

We have to choose to make ourselves happy, and not rely on others to make ourselves happy.
I know it can be hard some times, especially when nothing seems to be going our way.
Just remember, tomorrow is the present you receive today
