the Poor Man's Disease - -

Times are hard..

People are losing their jobs. Families are splitting apart. Violence is at a max.

With this current recession, alot of people are developing the 'Poor Man's Disease'.. The Poor Man's Disease is nothing to clown about. It's symptoms include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, feelings of loneliness, and anger....

I've been watching the news and it seems that everyday someone is becoming a victim of this disease. I say victim because it is indeed deadly. Numerous families have lost their lives as a result of lay-offs, rent increases, and economy downfall. Numerous individuals have lost their lives to the system as the result of criminal activity, negligence, or stupidity.

Things in this world are not as they once were. People are in constant fears of being laid off. People are in constant fears of starting lives as a couple out of fear for the future.

The key to overcoming this disease is God and communication. Philippines 4:13 says 'Through God ALL things are possible'. Proverbs 3:5 says 'Trust in the Lord with all thy heart, and lean not unto thy own understanding'.

Honestly, I think the world is like it is because society is breaking away from God.
