FEELINGS FOLLOW ACTIONS

Dear FRIEND

        Here is my advice to those who are depressed. Repeat the following until 
you do not need this paper.

1.  I will read Ephesians 4 every day in every translation until I 
understand it. Especially verse 14.
2.  I will question every negative thought I have.
3.  I will never question any positive thought at all.
4.  I will not use up the present worrying about the future.
5.  I will not waist the present regretting the past.
6.  I will invest all of my energy using the present to it fullest.
7.  I will meet as many new people as is possible today.
8.  I will not try to impress anyone at all.
9.  I will say, "Yes" only if I mean  yes.
10. I will say, "No" only if I mean no.
11. I will trust other people because I know that I can be trusted.
12. I will not assume that I am better than other people.
13. I will not assume that other people are better than I am.
14. I will trust God because He is able to cause all things to work out.
15. I will trust God because there is no other.
16. I will trust God as I trust the instruments in the aircraft.
17. I will believe that each day can be better than the last.
18. I will lay down and sleep because I can not protect myself God can
19. I will not remake any reasonable decision I have made.
20. I will trust God with my life as I trust Him with my soul.
