It’s not often that we worry about the simple aches and pains that our bodies experience because there is usually an over-the-counter, or home remedy for it. Our hands automatically reach for a painkiller in the case of a headache, a heating pad in the case of a sore muscle, a cup of tea in the case of a sore throat. These simple issues is usually just our body telling us that we need to take care for ourselves. However, there lies an ache in many that modern medicine has not yet found a remedy for. 

When someone suffers with the deep sadness known as depression they struggle to find a permanent remedy that can fully take away this pain. Although many have tried, the symptoms still lie in wait and a person feels themselves struggling day by day with their soul in pain.  

The word of God tells us that there is a solution for this problem: 

“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.” 

Proverbs 12:25  

No matter where you may be, the Word of God, which is this good word, reaches you. In the hospital, prison, nursing home etc., it can reach your soul. It is the good word that you have been searching for. There is no surgery or medicine that can heal a soul that is in pain, however, there is hope and help for you because God is the Doctor of the soul.

May the God of the Bible bless you,

Bishop Bira Joshua
