I suffer from depression that spirals very quickly to suicidal thoughts. I could feel myself doing down and when I opened my free bible devitional this morning it was about putting your problems in God's hands and letting Him take care of them. I've tried but it hasn't worked well, the depression is so strong, but this morning by reading the command I was able to!! THANK YOU JESUS! I then went on to answer some prayers of others and I am feeling restored. Why was the topic that day something that I needed to hear? Because God heard my cry for help and he sent it. Miracle happen to me daily, and angels are sent my way. Thank you Lord and thank you for my devotionals, they really do save my life!
I have been suffering depression for some years now. I can relate to the comment where you feel kinda scared that you are going to relapse. know that fear is not of God! He wants us to live a free and joyful life. I have found that writing when I feel that spirit of heaviness helps..along with writing a prayer of encouragement to myself. This helps me to get out all my negative thoughts..and expose the attack of the enemy. I read what I wrote a day or two later .. and remind myself that ohhhh that was a lie...it helps because I love to write. so writers-- try it God loves you to praise him though writing also! Also I have the gift of singing..This really opens up my heart for healing as I sing songs of encouragement. aint that nice that we receive encouragement as we encourage others...last choose to surround yourself by Christians that love you--that helps because they are able to speak the trust--the word of God-- when you feel like you don’t have the strength to speak it. I am thankful to be alive and still have hope to this day! that all things work together for those that love God and who are called according to his purpose :) Much love to all you overcomers!!
I FEEL OUT PLACE..LIKE I DON'T BELONG HERE..SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING NUTS.. BUT I STOP AND THINK THE GOD GAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL LIFE AND I HAVE ONLY 3 CHOICES... FIRST CHOICE;LIVE MY LIFE TO THE FULLNESS WITH THE HOPE I MEET HIM AT THE END.SECOND CHOICE.. GO NUTS AND BE DEATH ALIVE..OR KILL MYSELF AND LET THE DEVIL TAKE MY SOUL AND SPIRIT.. SO I DECIDED TO GO FOR THE FIRST CHOICE.. CAUSE I BELIEVE IN GOD..AND IF I'M HERE IS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE..SO PRAISE THE LORD .. AND TALK TO HIM EVERYDAY... DON'T GIVE UP CAUSE HE WON'T LET YOU..
I've also suffered from depression(as a christian)in the past and it got to the point where i could'nt take it anymore and i was gonna take my own life so i cried out to got and he delivered me.i am no longer the miserable,sad,suicidal,negative person i used to be,PRAISE GOD!!and if anything,that depression brought me closer to Him and i'm a better person!!i still suffer from things to this day,but everyone does,and you've just gotta put your trust in jesus- i know it sounds whack n 2 simple 4 something as complicated as depression,but God is a loving God and he wants to help you and he's there 4 u no matter what.
PUT ON THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESSS
I have gone through depression twice....But I still have the terrible aftertaste in my mouth...It was so scary that if it my parents and family had not interceeded for me I truly do not think I would be here now...
I have a question, why do I still feel scared to even think about what I went through...I am presently feeling a bit down and right away think that its coming back.....can someone relate to this and what can I do?
For all of us who deal with this thorn called depression I recommend that you print out the grace and favor scriptures by clicking on the word above. Keep them with you and read them daily and whenever you begin to doubt. We can trust God for favor and grace and that positive thinking pushes out depression.
Also, seek professional medical care. But, I have found that medication alone is not the answer...we need God's Word in us.
I too suffer from depression have all my life and socail anxietyand anxietycaused from abuse ican have a relationship now but with my faith in God i will Heavenly Father help every one here who has depression.and otherstuff .in Jesus name amen
I have also suffered from depression, one thing leading to the other.. but that is exactly what satan wants. Don't let him get you down. I still have a hard time with it, but i can testify that it has been much much worse before i started going to church and growing in my relationship with God. I believe that it makes a difference. Alot of people say you don't have to go to church to worship God, and you don't, but we should still go because fellowship with other christians is very important. Iron sharpens Iron... It has changed my life inside and out!! So i would suggest that you spend some time alone with God, if you choose not to go back to church.. it doesn't have to be anywhere special.. could be in your living room.. he doesn't care. But sit there and tell him how you have felt, and let everything out like you would tell your best friend. Don't be afraid to cry! I can testify that at one time i was feeling depressed and i just felt like my heart had a 10 ton boulder on it, and i just sat down in my room and cried it out to God.. the bible says we should put everything in his hands. He's the one in charge, not us. Remember that... if we have God in our lives, and allow him to take control of the wheel, Satan will flee, and guess what?! I can guarantee you will see better days.. but also remember that even saved christians have bad days. It is just part of the challenges we have to face. But in all circumstances, talk to God... let him take control, and you will have a much better outlook on things. He's working on you and the rest of us every day!! God Bless
All of my adult life I suffered from depression and anxiety and despair. I was baptized fourteen years ago and I am now free from it all. The Lord led me to study and to learn about His Word.I accidently found that I had had Attention Defiecit Disorder allmy life, I was 62 when I was diagnosed and that was a great helpGod is Good. There is an answer for your problems, trust in theLord, obey Him, he will lead you! Everyday I would say to the Lord "I can do all things thru Jesus Christ who leads me, and I would say, Lead me, guide me, walk beside me. Many times a day. Faith it takes faith, depression is hell on earth, once you get rid of it, you will never allow Satan to get you down again.The Holy Spirit will lead you, listen and you will hear him. Godloves you and wants you to be full of joy and happiness. Listento the Copelands about healing, listen to them about everything.I have listened for years and years. God Bless you brother.Jesus is coming soon that is always a good thought to have everyday too.
John, hang in there. Depression is so much the devil. I too get so upset that I just burst out crying or think only of my problems. When I find myself thinking these thoughts I just yell out, "Go away devil" Sounds corny but it really does help. Then I thank God for helping me stop thoes thoughts before I get to down.I do try not to do this in Kroger or Walgreens. But I have while driving down the road or in the privacy of my home.Good luck to you. May God bless you.JP
