Message summary & scripture references
One problem I am personally working to overcome is “success depression.”
Let me explain. I am a person who goes all out to reach a goal; however, I will feel somewhat depressed until the goal is completed. Once the goal is attained, I am happy again. But here is the real problem: that happiness is short-lived. This is because I will immediately set another goal, and the “success depression” roller coaster will start all over again.
Obviously, this is not sustainable.
If this feeling sounds similar to yours, then listen closely to today’s message as I examine the Word of God to find the solution to get off the emotional roller coaster of success depression.
Proverbs 13:12 KJV
[12] Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Psalm 23:1-6 NET
[1] The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
[2] He takes me to lush pastures, he leads me to refreshing water.
[3] He restores my strength. He leads me down the right paths for the sake of his reputation.
[4] Even when I must walk through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff reassure me.
[5] You prepare a feast before me in plain sight of my enemies. You refresh my head with oil; my cup is completely full.
[6] Surely your goodness and faithfulness will pursue me all my days, and I will live in the LORD’s house for the rest of my life.
Matthew 3:16-17 KJV
[16] And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
[17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
