Fighting Depression Through the Gift of Friendship :: Patti Davis' Story :: [Episode 302]

We are just one week away from Christmas, and we have the perfect story to celebrate how the Light of the world can bring hope and healing in the darkest of situations!

Patti Davis, from our Raleigh, NC community group, experienced unimaginable abuse and neglect as a child and as an adult. As a result, Patti absorbed lies deep into her heart and soul. Yet, in the middle of spiritual darkness and dark nights in general, the Lord put Himself between Patti and her depression. When she felt the most alone, He provided a specific plan, some great friends, and His healing presence.

You will be truly touched to hear quotes from Patti's time-worn journal as she recounts a season when she learned to ask for help and how friends showed up in droves! Spoiler alert: this story is an all-out spiritual battle, and God wins.

In this episode, you will learn:

– You are weak, and He is strong. You will receive His power when you focus on Him.

– Sometimes, God empties us out to make room for something new. He longs to renew, restore, and regenerate you.

– Bring your disappointments to God, get real with Him, and ask all the questions. He will speak to you. You are never alone!
