The pursuit of happiness may vary with each individual since each person’s definition and need for happiness may differ. Two sisters who have the same parents could have opposite views of a career choice like being a stay-at-home mom. That choice may be perceived as wonderful by one but depressing to the other.
Depression is a deterrent to happiness. The mystery of depression is that there may be no apparent reason for its presence. It’s important to have a thorough evaluation by your physician to search for its cause. The longer depression remains an issue, the more perplexing the challenge becomes to regain happiness.
God does not intend for us to be continuously unhappy, so perhaps now is the opportune time to trust God for making some long overdue changes for your life. Psalm 37:4 encourages you to “seek your happiness in the Lord God and he will provide your heart’s desires.” So commit yourself to Christ Jesus and follow his guidance.

helping you. I’m surely upholding you with my victorious right hand.”
