"Not necessary! The only reliable therapy comes from the Word of God."
I'd be willing to be that your book has caused more problems than it's solved. Ever heard the phrase "Christian guilt"?
"The only reliable therapist is Jesus."
Yeah, but his rates are outrageous. Who can afford 10% of their income for weekly therapy?
"It's very common in this day and age to feel a kind of weariness. There have been many threads regarding this very thing."
Yeah, but look where you're posting.
"We all feel this way time to time and seemingly more and more frequent as time goes by and we find that we are still in this world."
You can fix that you know.
"The reason for that feeling is because we are not of this world."
I've often thought the same thing about you people.
"We are children of God, we are the body of Christ."
You wouldn't know it from reading your forum. I don't think any of you have ever read a single word attributed to the guy.
"So for us to be here in this world and not in heaven with our Father, can be a very weary undertaking to our very spirit."
Suck it up. You get 80 years of it, if you're lucky. That's not really all that long, even if you consider the universe to be a mere six thousand years old.
"We are simply put....just plain weary."
Take a dirt nap. Oh, that's right. You can't.
Doesn't that suck to be indoctrinated your entire life about how great and wonderful this heaven of yours is and then be told you can't take the express route there because it's a "sin"?
"If we allow ourselves to dwell on it however, then that could lead to depression."
That or reading your Wholly Babble. Or talking to each other. Or pretty much anything else that isn't being immediately whooshed into the clouds, right?
"And the only real way to pull ourselves out of that state is remembering that our focus should be on the Lord."
Sure. Ignore it. Those feelings of hopelessness and despair are sure to go away as long as you don't deal with them.
"We can focus on Him by reading His Word, by praying and praising our Father."
In other words, by reading propaganda, talking to yourself and attempting to supplicate your invisible friend everything will turn out a-ok.
Sure. You do that.
"Once we give it up to Him, he heals us of any depression we may go through."
Then why are there "Christian" counselors? What's the purpose of an entire niche industry if all you have to do is mutter to yourself and think happy thoughts?
"It's all a matter of giving it all up to Him."
Shouldn't your benevolent, loving god see you're in need and just fix you without all of the groveling and "giving it all up" bullshit?
