Depression is not a good condition at all. We should not allow anyone who is connected to us to slip into depression. We should allow our hearts to be fixed on God. When we trust the Word of God, depression will not set into our hearts.
Depression comes when people are faced with problems or situations which they don't have any solution for. When they do not know how to handle the pressures around them; when they are left clueless on how they can solve their problem, then depression will set in.
When our children are faced with situations that challenge their faith, depression can set into their lives. They can be traumatized by the difficulties that they are experiencing. To help our children out of these depression, we should lead them to God early. We should show them the ways of God. We should teach them about God. When they understand what life will really bring out, they will learn to know how to depend on God and overcome every depression.
