Has there been any troubling or traumatic happenings in your life lately? If so, that would be a good bet. Sometimes though, I think most if not all of us go through times we are feeling down or depressed for whatever reason. I suspect it is one of the devil's way of working on us a Christians, but that's just my opinion. What I have found that helps is to occupy yourself with something you like to do. If you're having depressing thoughts, read a good book. Lately, I have read several great books by Max Lucado, TD Jakes, Joel Osteen, Charles Stanley...etc. and they did me a world of good. What is probably better than that is surround yourself with good friends with positive attitudes.....good Christian friends esp. Heck, I've caught a sermon or 2 on tv by Osteen and you can't help but be energized after listening to him. Granted, he is not everyone's cup of tea, but he is a very motivational guy and he is working to further the Kingdom of God. Hope that helps you.....
Your brother in Christ,
