I'm not feeling so great. This has been a rough week for me. I really think I've been fighting off depression the whole week and slowly succumbing to it anyway. I missed school all week because I just wanted to sleep. I only feel like I've accomplished a minor amount of productive things this week and I feel a lot of guilt for all that I haven't done. I feel like crawling into a hole and curling up and ignoring everything and anything.
Earlier this morning I studied my scriptures. I wasn't feeling this bad then. I actually studied from an Ensign article called Ten Scripture Study Tools that gave suggestions of how to get more out of scripture study, with example scriptures for each suggestion. I went through all of the examples in the scriptures as I read through the article. Most of the suggestions seemed to be things that I tend to do naturally, without really thinking about it as I study the scriptures. There were a few that I hadn't tried before, like looking for scripture lists and picking out the lessons following words and phrases like "behold," "wherefore," "because," "nevertheless," and "thus we see."
I am certainly glad that I do love the scriptures and have a habit of daily study already established, else on days where I feel like I do, I fear all my weaknesses would overpower me.
