Seek the level ground

[I remember the days of old; I meditate on all your doings; I ponder the work of your hands. I spread forth my hands to you; my soul thirsts after you like a thirsty land for water; Answer me speediy, O Lord, for my spirit fails; hide not your face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit... Cause me to hear your loving-kindness in the morning, for on you do I lean and in you do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk for I lift up my inner self to you.] Psalm 143:5-8
When we feel ourselves sinking down into the pit of depression, we can do what David did here.

• We can remember the good days of old.
• We can meditate on all the lord's doings on our behalf.
• We can ponder the mighty works of his hands. We can spread forth our hands in prayer and supplication to him.
• We can call upon him to answer us speedily because we are leaning on and trusting in him.

We can life up our soul, our inner being to him. All these things constitute an act of faith, and the lord has promised to always respond to faith. If we are under an attack, we must stand firm and contiune to cry out to God until he hears and answers our plea for help.
So we can praise our lord with Psalm 144:1-2[Blessed be the lord, my rock and my keen and firm strength, who teaches my hands to war and my fingers to fight - My steadfast love and my fortress, my high tower and my deliverer, my shield and he in whom I trust and take refuge, who subdues my people under me.]
We should not follow our flesh to block the mighty help from God by doing the following:

• Deny our problems
• Complain around
• Let our emotions control us
• Lose our heart
