Staying positive when everything seems lost can be a challenge, but I've learned a thing or two about it through my experiences as a pastor and a husband. The first step is to recognize that our thoughts can change the way we think. I've found that when I start to feel negative, I need to stop and re-evaluate my thoughts. I tell myself to "STOP" whenever I notice those thoughts creeping in. It's amazing how much of a difference this can make.

Asking myself what I'm getting out of my depression has also been helpful. It's a reminder that I'm often doing more than I realize, and it helps me to take a step back and assess the situation. I've also found it helpful to write down my thoughts and feelings, creating a kind of "depression flow-chart" that helps me to track my progress and identify patterns. This can be a powerful tool in staying positive, especially when things seem lost.

Ultimately, staying positive requires a spiritual perspective. As a Christian, I believe that God is always in control, and that He has a plan to bring good out of even the most difficult situations. When I'm feeling down, I try to focus on the positive things in my life, and to remember the past victories that God has given me. I remind myself that I don't have to face challenges alone, and that I can always turn to God for help and guidance. By persevering in applying old truths to present situations, I've found that I can overcome even the darkest of times.
