A World in Turmoil - 4./Protect Your Hope

 GET SUPPORT

The Bible says: "Whoever isolates himself . . .rejects all practical wisdom." (Proverbs 18:1) You cannot climb out of a deep pit by  yourself,  but with a helping hand, you can succeed.

. Reach out to family members or friends for support.

. Also, look for ways that you can help them. Doing things for others will help you keep your problems in perspective.

. If you have lost hope  and feel that life is not worth living, consider getting a medical check-up. Sometimes feeling overwhelmed is a symptom of a health disorder, such as depression.  Many people have been helped by getting treatment.
