301. Healing Troubled Hearts

In John 14:27, Jesus said, “Let not your hearts be troubled,” but two chapters later He tells us that, “In this world you will have trouble.”

Those of us who have suffered from depression and other dark places know what real trouble is, as we have experienced sinking into a pit of helplessness and hopelessness. Thank God, that’s not the end of the story: the last verse of Chapter 16 says, “take heart! I have overcome the world.” That means He has come to heal our troubled hearts.

How this healing takes place is thoroughly told in a book recently published by my brother, Dr. Bill Day: Healing Troubled Hearts, through exchanges with the Master. In my opinion, it’s a must read.

Dr. Bill Day is a combination psychotherapist and minister; I don’t think I would have triumphed over depression without his Christian inner-healing ministry. I called on him many, many times over four years in the darkest pit I’ve ever known. His was a combination of wisdom and compassion that he now shares with everyone in his new book.

About Patrick Day

In 2010, I escaped from four long years of deep, dark depression. This blog shares lessons I learned from those years as depicted in my autobiography - How I Escaped from Depression - as well as other insights about depression and anxiety that only come from someone who has gone through it. When you have a heart attack, you become an expert in heart attacks. When you have diabetes, you become an expert in that condition. As such, I am an expert in depression, with a four-year experiential degree and graduate studies in how to live a life going forward that keeps the ever-lurking Depression at a healthy distance.
