I suffered from depression for twelve years. Help came not in medication, alternative remedies, different therapies, or counselling etc. Although all those slow and expensive means were tried, nothing brought relief or cure. One night I asked God to remove the depression as I had tried everything I knew. He did. Overnight. In the morning I was free and all praise goes to the Father. Here is a poem I wrote about it. It didn't happen all at once. The darkness within Increased moment by moment until The years of oppression And imprisoned thoughts Had engulfed my very soul. My spirit, too, was silenced And I, unable to make My longings heard, Retreated further Into the gloom which Was my life. There had to be a light There HAD to be. There's always a light for the darkness However small. And in one desperate. searching moment I found it! The connection was so close It was part of myself. It was my silent voice And only One could hear it. The only One who can hear thoughts Brought light to my spirit, Brought light to my soul, Brought light to my life. How speedily He came To change my darkened night time Into glorious morning. So bright was His light I find myself A decade later Still shining. ©Anne Macdonald
