Ronnie asks this question:

“If I could let go and let God totally drive my life, I could get rid of the depressing thoughts that control me? I believe in God, I just keep having these depressing problems that keep getting me down. How can I let go?”

    Have you ever asked the question, “How can I let go and really let God have my life?” Perhaps these suggestions will help you:

You have to make this decision every day

   

• First of all, you have to make this decision every day—to put the Lord Jesus first in your life and then ask him to give you the power and the will to resist sin that day. He’ll do it!
• Next, stay in God's Word. God’s Word is the Sword of the Spirit and it will do battle everyday against your Enemy.
• Third, stay close to Christian friends. Ask them to pray for you. They will.
