How to Overcome Blue Monday with the Word of God

Blue Monday is a term coined to describe the third Monday of January, which is said to be the most depressing time of the year. This phenomenon has been linked to a combination of factors such as post-holiday blues, cold weather, and financial pressure.

Luckily, there are ways to combat this feeling and help people find happiness. There is hope, and it comes from above. God's word can provide strength and comfort during difficult times. It helps us to stay positive and reminds us that no matter how bad things may seem, we are never alone. Through reading Scripture and praying, we can find peace in knowing that God has our best interests at heart.

In this therapy Thursday episode, we share a few simple steps. You can use God’s word to help you overcome Blue Monday and find happiness, hope, and peace. Want to know the three double R tools? Tune in!
