Hope
When you forgive, anxiety gets better; depression gets better. You have more hope. (Everett Worthington, psychologist)
Are you anxious or depressed today? Worthington suggests that one of the causes of anxiety may be an unforgiving spirit. When someone has been hurt so deeply that he or she simply can’t get over it and forgive the offender, anxiety and depression only worsen. Choosing to forgive will relieve the anxiety, avoid depression, and restore lost hope.
Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! (Psalm 43:5)
