New Here!

Hi everyone! Im new to this site because i want to find my way in life. I have had a lot of bad luck in my past and im now suffering with depression. I know this may be to much information to start with, but i need to just get it off my chest. So i would just like to get some advice on how to look up to god, my dad is a Christian and he does sort of help but i dont known maybe just worried/scared. any input would be amazing thank you!

Hi S
I have had depression for roughly 25 years, so I know the challenges. I know the "unlucky" feeling as well.
And that's not too much info, people need to know where you're at to help you.

Are you a Christian? Not just by title but have you surrendered your life to God and been born again? If not thats really your first step.
Learning more about God's character helps a lot in going through things. Getting a right idea on how God functions and His motives. Many times we lack trust in God because we don't try to understand His side of things.
That's all for now. I'm headed to bed, but will try to check back later. Or feel free to message me.

Welcome to CC. You may want to have this moved to the Family forum, where it belongs. I can ask a mod to move it for you. Please read my depression testimony, under the Blog tab in my profile.

Hi thanks for your reply. no im not a christian. my mom isn't, my dad is so they didn't really push anything on us, i think they have let us take our own paths. so yes i do need to start there but not to sure how or where?

Hello welcome to Christian Chat.


Enjoy!

Hi, welcome.

It's great that your Father is a man of faith and I think that can really help you; if you're looking for answers, no doubt you will find many different ones here, but I do hope you a rock to cling to in the faith. It has changed my life for sure, even though I'm still new myself, and finding it very challenging, I am a better person for submitting to God.

I've been through depression myself and currently dealing with serious health issues, but one step at a time I have moved forward and when I fell into a pit God was always there if I knew where and how to look. It takes time.

Happy to talk any time.

Hello sknowles2315, welcome to CC, I hope you'll enjoy your stay here.

Good start is to open a Bible and read the book of proverbs ... This will give you a good foundation of God's rules ... Then read book of John ... This will explain just how much GOD truly loves you ...

Welcome here you can discuss with bible smart people and possibly make new friends,hope you like it here!

Where is the chatroom

If you're on a PC you have to download the app and it will walk you through the process. The link is on the top of the main page. However, the best conversations take place in the forums where you now are. Welcome to CC.

Hello everyone. I’ve never been in a chat room so all new to me. I’ve recently renewed my faith in Christ. I have changed everything in my life so God can deal with me and show me the path he needs to take. As everyone in life I am dealing with a lot of challenges and at some point may start shareing. My main go is to have all my life incompassed with God. Thanks for listening. God bless

Hi welcome to Christian Chat

I'm glad that you are seeking help for your depression. God gives us all gifts and talents to share with others. Some people are good at organizing, teaching, serving or giving for example. Have you found out what your gift is? Volunteering has helped me so much with my depression and I get to share my knowledge as an ESL tutor. Being thankful to God for what he has given us everyday and keeping a gratitude journal is a good way to start the day on a positive note. I hope you can find a church that you like and learn about God more.
