Matthew, 31, came to me this week and talked (that's something new!) about how different he felt when he went to church with me last week. He's been battling depression for most of his life but has always kept it within and never wanted to talk about it. When he talked to me about his depression for the first time this past week, he said he didn't feel ashamed about talking about it but in a sense felt at ease and wanted to talk about his depression openly. He wants to go to church with me and wants to know more about why God and Jesus are involved in our world. I've been praying for Matthew for a long time and know for sure that our Lord God is the reason why Matthew has seen "light" in his dark world. Please pray for Matthew knowing that now is the time satan will go to work on him trying to undo what God has initiated.
