Psalm 70:1

Be pleased, O God, to deliver me!  O Lord, make haste to help me!
God!  Please hurry to my rescue!  God, come quickly to my side!


Time.  Out of all the lessons of depression, waiting is the most frustrating to learn.  This verse tells me three things.  First, I can remind God of my suffering and tell him to hurry.  Second, I can expect him to help.  Third, it will please him to help me.  In other words, I am not an annoyance or a bother.  My prayer is exactly right.  
God wants me to cry out to him. 
God is helping me. 
God wants to help me. 
   
Lord, I think of all or nothing, depressed or well.  Help me to appreciate the ways you help each day, and each step out of this depression.  Amen.
