因為患有抑鬱症的人，很多會有輕生的念頭，100個患者會有15個嘗試自殺或自殺致死，是自殺率最高的精神病；而去年張國榮墮樓身亡，就是一個警號。香港大學香港賽馬會防止自殺研究中心發出警告︰1997之後，短短6年之間，30歲至59歲的成年人、中年人的自殺率大幅上升，由1997年的每十萬人中有11.7人自殺，上升至2002年的18.7人，增幅達60%﹗整體自殺率年年上升，長者和青少年自殺率亦居於世界的前列。

一些關於苦難和屬靈低潮的屬靈名句
J.C.
Ryle: “Spiritual darkness comes on horseback, and goes away on foot. It is upon
us before we know that it is coming. It leaves us slowly, gradually, and not
till after many days.”
C.S.
Lewis: “Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.”
Matthew
Henry: “Discontent is a sin that is its own punishment and makes men torment
themselves; it makes the spirit sad, the body sick, and all the enjoyments
sour; it is the heaviness of the heart and the rottenness of the bones. It is a
sin that is its own parent. It arises not from the condition, but from the
mind. As we find Paul contented in a prison, so Ahab discontent in a palace.” Matthew
Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible: http://www.ccel.org/h/henry/mhc2/MHC11021.HTM
Francis
Schaeffer: “Many times I say, ‘I can't go up the hill once more. I can't do it
again.’ And what is God's answer? Well, first it is important to know that God
doesn't scold a man when his tiredness comes from his battles and his tears
from compassion.” Death in the City (Downers Grove, InterVarsity
Press: 1969), 69.
“Many men
owe the grandeur of their lives to the difficulties they have suffered” (C.H.
Spurgeon).
“Life is
a mingled yarn, good and ill together” (Shakespeare).
“Those
who have endured the stinging experiences are the choicest people God can use.”
“Who God would use greatly, He will hurt deeply” (A. W. Tozer).
“Participate
joyfully in the sorrows of life.”
“Life
does not have to be perfect to be wonderful” (Annette Funichello-former
“Mouseketeer” suffering with debilitating MS).
“Life
moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to
impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly.
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we
deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty,
painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with
an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to
recognize it as such” (Henry Miller).
“You who
perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams,
born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear this: all power is given unto
you in earth and heaven. There is nothing you cannot do. The truth that many
people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to
avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more insignificant
things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt” (Thomas
Merton).
“To give
and not to count the cost; to fight and not to heed the wounds; to toil and not
to seek for rest; to labor and not ask for any reward save that of knowing that
we do Thy will” (St Ignatius Loyola).
“Sorrows
are sickly things and die, while the joys are strong divine children and shall
live forever” (George MacDonald).
“None of
us is only the sum of our wounds” (Kimberly C. Patton, p. 8, A Sorrowful Joy).
