Miller,
You wrote, [...it is comfort to think God will help...and give time to feel better...]
Miller, I have been to the depths of depression and the mountain top of ecstacy. And I found myself one day on a Road. And on that Road, I had an encounter with the Word of God. I was able to Overcome depression and addiction and The Word put in my heart the following words:
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Thearfore I will not fear,
Even though the earth be removed,
And though the mountains be carried
into the midst of the sea,
Though its waters roar and be troubled,
Though the mountians shake with its swelling
There is a river whose streams shall
make glad the City of God.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
The Lord of Hosts is with us.
