All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,, so that man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
                                                                                                                  - 2 Timothy 3:16-17

1)  Depression: Here is our first topic is "Depression" and how we need to tackle it. Only one way we can overcome depression from the word of God. It will give you complete rest from  depression if you know how to tackle it with Biblical verses.
  • Concealing sin leads to depression, if we confess our sins before God and turn from evil we surely get the mercy of God upon our life. Proverbs 28:13 : He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy. 
  • When king David was very depressed until he confessed his sin of adultery to Nathan. Psalms 32:3-4: When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
  • Put your trust in God alone when you are facing trouble in your life. You need to continue trust is God alone, whatever may be condition, God will lift you up if you trust in Him. We need to pray for His mercy comes upon us, our sin to be forgiven (Ask forgiveness to the person also to whom you make sad), ask for His plan in your life through trouble and perseverance. Psalms 42:5-6 : Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God. 

2) Training children: God requires parents to rear their children in a God-centered way. The primary objective must be that your children know, believe in, love, reverence, and serve the Lord.

The following are the parent's responsible towards their children:
  • The father is primarily responsible for child training. Whatever father did the child follow. Hence if father do good then their child also or vise versa. It is very essential for every father to live a live of good principle and influence the child that the society will accept it.
  • Parents must shepherd the child's heart, not only discipline, not merely attempt to correct outward behaviour but also inward as all thinks comes from heart. Teach them to help others who are in need. Make them understandable of your teaching.
  • Parents must give biblical instruction to their children, not just lay down rules and expectations. Duet 6:6-7; Eph 6:4; Prov 1:8-9.
  • Parents must set a godly exampe for their children to learn by and to follow. Deut 6:4-6
  • The father must manage his family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. 1 Tim 3:4.
  • Do not exasperate your children by unjust requirement or undue discipline, otherwise children become discourage. (Eph 6:4; Col 3:21) Always encourage your child and bless them to have bright future.
  • Love requires faithful discipline. Prov 13:24. He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him. Prov 22:15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death. Prov 29:15 The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to itself disgraces his mother. Prov 29:17 Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.
Children are a heritage from the Lord. Pslam 127:3 Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him.

3) Anger: 

Anger is uncontrolled and hot temper lead to destruction or sin. It should be always controlled in every human being. Anger is good upto certain level for the well being of others if somebody is wrong. God’s nature is slow to anger. 
a) Anger is not itself sinful, but the reaction which led to destruction is harmful.

b) Be slow to become angry: Prov 14:16-17; Prov 14:29 and James 1:19-20 c) Seek the way of love: 1 Cor 13:4-5.

d) Do not associate with a hot-temperedman: Prov 22:24-25, Never mingled with a person with angry nature, it will lead us in the same way they behave.

e) Control yourself: Prov 25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self control.

f) Handle anger in a godly way: Do not let the sun go down on your anger. Ephesian 4:26.

Everybody gets anger but to control it is the best skill you ever get in your life. It is the good habit when we control our angerness. In this world everything is having control, even nature also control its environment, but when its out of control its bring destruction, which we may can compare with our life too.
