Valley of Despondency

“I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.” Psalm 31:12


Our circumstances can carry us to places we don’t want to be. Our thoughts can lead us into deep valleys of depression.  Valleys that seem hard to claw our way out of.  We try to understand our condition and dig ourselves deeper into the pit of despondency. “I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:”

We wonder of the past, the good we have done.  Where is the response from those we have helped?  Where have they all gone?  Why have they forgotten? The fact may be, they don’t know of your trouble.  They can’t read your heart, like GOD can.  If we aren’t careful we become shipwrecked. “I am like a broken vessel.”

Apply your to heart the Word of GOD.  If we consider what GOD thinks more than what man thinks, we will be much better off.  Despondency spell will leave and the SPIRIT of GOD will return the joy to your heart.


Out of sight and out of mind,
This my life reveals.
Cast down below the sea I am.
In a land of no appeals. 

This is the thought, of broken men.
Whom seemed to have lost their way.
All alone, and out of sight.
Like pottery, of broken clay.

This state of mind, will soon be loosed.
If on the LORD you’ll lean.
Where ever you are, or wherever you go,
Nothing can come between.


“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:” 1 Peter 5:6
