“I am so unhappy, even to the point of depression. I don’t like feeling this way. I don’t think it is right to feel this way as a Christian. But I can’t seem to do anything about it. How can I regain my happiness as a Christian?”
You might be interested to learn that happiness is not a biblical word but a biblical concept. Happiness is a Middle English word (1100-1500). This English word refers to pleasure, gladness, or good fortune. “Happiness results from the possession or attainment of what one considers good.” (American College Dict., pg.550)
