Do you have the Christmas blues?
A Cure for Seasonal Sadness
Keep it on the tip of your tongue
“Though you have made me see troubles . . . you will restore my life again; You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.” Ps. 71: 20a, 21 (NIV)
The Christmas season should be full of joy, right?
If movies, advertisements, greeting cards, and social media reflect reality, then people worldwide are experiencing picture-perfect lives at this time of year, days filled with family, fun, and feasting.
So, what’s wrong with me?
Why do I struggle with the holiday doldrums, a slight sense of sadness, or, even worse, downright depression?
Psychologists offer a variety of reasons for these feelings, but no matter the cause, the cure cannot be prescribed by a mere physician.
Only the Great Physician, the One Who made us, offers a viable remedy for our disappointment, sorrow, and grief — His most precious Word.
