Antidote to Blue Monday

The BBC reports today is "Blue Monday"- the date in January when psychologists estimate that post-Christmas gloom is at its worst. Surfing the Web, I found that the Daily Mail claims it is "going to be the most depressing day in history", with the credit crunch adding to the misery of cold weather, fading Christmas memories and broken New Year resolutions.

But for the Christian, Lamentations 3:22-24 gives the promise:
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.
