[Salvation]

Depression is such an influence on today's society. Many don't have God in their lives and so they don't know where to turn. They just stay depressed. Unfortunately then, this leads to addictions and other problems.

I agree.

Believers aren't exempt from depression, but at the very least we have a future and a hope in the Lord.

And even more than that, through prayer and fellowship and living in obedience to God's Word, we stay on the path of life and grow in grace. Good antidote's to depression.

Some of the younger people where I work have been raised without any faith whatsoever, many whose parents and grandparents were outside God's family. Tragic. With eternal consequences, too.
