Though depressed because of his sinful nature, Nephi trusted in God (as evidenced by experiences such as obtaining the plates, slaying a man, and building a ship). In essence, Nephi exclaims, His love is more important to me than the desires of the flesh. He has delivered me, and he will yet deliver me. For all of us, our greatest desire should be to obtain the love of God (reach the tree of life and the waters of life). “‘I Am a Child of God,’” Elder Dallin H. Oaks once remarked, “is a potent anti-depressant.” 8Others, too, have become depressed even though they were serving the Lord with intensity. Ammon, for example, said, “When our hearts were depressed … the Lord comforted us” (Alma 26:27). When a later Nephi was “much cast down,” he pondered the revelations of the Lord, and a voice came to him saying, “Blessed art thou, Nephi” (Helaman 10:3–4). So it may be with us. Turning to the Lord can be a powerful anti-depressant.
