Get Over Depression!
Several years ago, when I was depressed, my former pastor, Ron Sauer, and his wife, Sue, in 2007, encouraged me to encourage others. That was the best thing for me to hear and do. By trying to inspire others on this website, I got out of my sadness and so-called “Pity Parties” to offer some encouragement. You can do the same in your way, think outside the box, and ask God to prompt you to encourage others!
You need to have a desire to share your encouragement with others. To be filled with encouragement, I honestly do not believe it automatically happens. It often needs to be focused on, worked on, and prayed about, and eventually it will likely become a habit. ~ Bill Greguska

- When you see or learn about someone making positive changes in their lives, point it out to them right then. Do not hold back when you can say something friendly and sincere about another person.
- Offer to pray for them, or, better yet, if it is OK with them, pray for them right away. If they are OK with that, pray specific scriptures for individuals according to their needs. Otherwise, you can pray for them on your own. That would be good too. Remind people you know that you’re praying for them
- If you see or hear about something positive, speak up, and don’t be shy. Encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today” (Hebrews 3:13).
- When you introduce someone to another friend, add a few positive words about their abilities, accomplishments, or how nice they are. You can also share how they have helped you. It is a great source of encouragement when people are praised in front of others.
- Use encouragement as a daily ministry-style outreach. If anyone ought to be an encourager, it should be Christians. Please write letters of appreciation to people, especially when they deserve it or need a little affirmation. Take time to say thank you.
- Tell someone how they have encouraged you recently or in the past. Tell them a few nice things about themselves and their character.
