# 58 Learn from Others Who Have Been Depressed _ _ _ _ There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it (I Cor. 10:13). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Many who have experienced depression state that they have been greatly help by finding other Christians who have also suffered from depression. They came to realize the depression is "common to man" - even Christians. God has provided a way to escape depression, as well as ways to escape all temptations to sin. Passive Christians frequently fool themselves into thinking they cannot give up a sin or bad habit which leads to depression. This verse proves that they really can if they want to, by using God's way of escape. Whenever a Christian finds himself using the word "can't" he should stop and change it to "won't" instead. Then he will see the real truth.
