Depression

In 1 Samuel Hannah is clearly suffering depression as she waits for the Lord to finally give her a son.  The 2nd chapter shows the depression lifting and is a praise of God.
I am searching to find relief from the depression that has taken hold of me.  I have began counseling and talk often of my mental state. 
Yesterday was a rough morning.  I received at least ten phone calls pertaining to my mom being in a nursing home.  I was on the phone with my mom, the nursing home, the State of Indiana, Medicaid and the provider of her pension.
Last week I rode in a car with a friend who was telling me of his health problems and that his life expectency is six months or less.  I spent the time listening to him and praying that God would give me words to share with him.  We have talked of God and relationships with Him on many occasions, but Mike has never found the need to abandon his way of life to step into the joy of life in God.  Anyway the whole time we were together I never received words to share.  This is the first time I have been with someone in this situation that I have had nothing from our Lord to share.  My friends say this is normal but for me this is never normal.  I always have words to share.  Even with my Dad who died five months ago I was able to sit with him and talk extensively about the Lord and my dad's relationship with Him.  My mom also in December when we were sure she would die I talked with her, but with my friend Mike nothing.
I am not saying that I am not hearing from God.  Even yesterday when I was on the phone with all these people one of them reminded me that I prayed with her for a headache a month ago.  She told me that God had healed her headache before she returned to her desk that day when we prayed.  Then she asked that I pray for her heart, which I agreeed to and informed her I would call her in a month to see how her heart has been healed.
Anyway this is a blog and my thoughts are wandering all over the place.  The depression is less than it was.
Lord, I pray that You would lift the depression from me and that the joy of the work You do through me would excite and suprise me again.  I pray for Jan's heart, my wife's health, my mom's mental outlook in the nursing home, my stepmom's grief over my dad's death.  I lift up my friend Ron, Mike, Ronny, John and my counselor Tony to You.  I pray for my kids salvation and my grandkids and greatgrand daughter.
Help me to see the opportunity to serve You today and to be bold enough to do that service.  God bless You my friend and Saviour, my Lord and my God.
Amen
