One of my remedies when feeling down is to crank up the stereo and put my dancing shoes on! I have even done this for a friend of mine on Web Cam!!

Who can be sad when they're D A N C I N G??

Totally! I really like listening to DoTa by BassHunter. Very danceable... and I find I can do dishes in a flash when listening to it.

Feeling blue....or feeling depressed are afflictions. First seek with the help of the Holy Ghost the cause of this afflictions.

Often this is anger turned inward. It can also be unresolved conflicts that is taking our peace of mind. Having the blues or being sad or being depressed ....should be viewed as a gift of God and is in reality very good news for you. For God is pointing out a weakness in your life.

More of the good news...The Lord said [In psalms] that He was your shepherd and if you seek Him early [all the time] that He will lead to "Still Waters" which is heavenly peace. Feeling blue and depression are negatives forces. The Lord whenever He would see someone down with the blues...He would say..."Be of Good cheer".

TO BE OF Good cheer is an act of will.....And sometimes we must will it even if it is with gritted teeth with all of our might asking also our Helper to help us.

Then you will find over time...that this law is active in your life....

Proverbs 23:7 - For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

We can tell you jokes, and you will laugh...but it will come back.
You can take drugs for it and it will probably make you feel good. But that is not overcoming it. Nor will it lead one to find the root cause of our afflictions.

Many times, doctors and drugs help the body but do eternal harm to the Spirit that is within us. By using worldly means to negate consequences of wrong choices is no help at all. But using these so we can be free to "ASK, SEEK and KNOCK" is good. For if God is truly our shepherd I tell you the truth and so did J.Smith and others....that you will be healed.

"My people are not healed because they ask amiss." So it does not appear that lack of faith is the reason for not receiving... but more of asking amiss.

Ask the Lord to show you how you are injuring yourself or others either by thoughts, words or actions. And truly you will be amazed by what the Lord shall show you.

Peace be unto you
