I suffered severe depression, and medication (5htp) made me feel enough to seek therapy. Therapy is one resource that helped me change my thoughts. I use to worry about everything, now I don't. I give it all to God. I am constantly telling myself...

1. Let it go
2. The Lord will provide
3. All in His time
4. I can handle this with Him

I am not in control of my life HE is!

I also think control is a very BIG issue to deal with and The #1 cause of my depression. What I've come to realize is I can only make choices for me, and some for my children. But even then as my children grow up I can choose less and less for them.

I trust the Lord and surrender to Him. I think the following prayer says it all:
GOD, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change the
things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.
Living ONE DAY AT A TIME;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next. Amen
