When you are wrongly accused, pray this psalm to God, expressing honestly your deepest feelings.
Listen while I build my case, God,
the most honest prayer you'll ever hear.
Show the world I'm innocent --
in your heart you know I am.Go ahead, examine me from the inside out,
surprise me in the middle of the night --
You'll find I'm just what I say I am.
My words don't run loose.

"Depression can cause us to feel worthless and empty, even to ache inside. It can come on suddenly and often haunts us during the holidays. Seek the comfort and guidance you need. Talk to God, trusting that the One who loves you will never give up on you. Read more at devozine."
