Text: Exodus 18:13-18
Author: Dr David Davis
Have you ever been depressed? Two chief occupational hazards:
1. Depression
2. Discouragement
A noted psychologist once said, "Depression is a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness that leads to sadness."

Prayer of Moses -
Numbers 11:15: "And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness."

I Kings 19:4: "But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, 0 Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."
