Prayers and support greatly needed for depression.

Hi guys. I'm very new here. Just made an account about 10 minutes ago so I'm not really sure how to work this. But the reason I'm here is because I've been suffering from a deep depression for about 2 months now. It's the hardest, most awful thing I've ever experienced in my whole life. Ive been questioning my life and and wondering if it's even worth it. I've always been an optimistic person so thoughts like this are extremely scary to me. Before my episode, I had drifted very far from God and pretty much lost touch completely with my spiritually. But by going through this, prayer is the only thing that makes me feel like I can carry on. I feel like I'm slowly finding Him again but I still feel like I need help. I'm asking for someone to pray for me. I feel extremely low right now and I don't know what else to do. If anyone understands or has any advice, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, God bless.

"Behold old things are passed away, now , you are a new creature in Christ"

Father God, we thank you for working in the life of Beccaro, let you touch and all the depression, and similar thoughts disappear. Yes Lord bless Beccaro to obey you and walk in your ways, Bless, and let you be glorified in Beccaro's life, in Jesus gracious name, Amen!

Beccaroo, I just want to give you some encouragement in the Lord & say a prayer for You. Just know that no matter how we feel inside of us, there is one truth that remains forever unchanged & that is that Jesus Loves You! He have a divine plan for your life. You are made exactly in the image of the Lord, as we all are. Jesus is Your best friend & Your counselor, Your Savior & Redeemer. He never takes His eyes off of you, not for a second. The beautiful life the He has for You begins now. Life is not always easy, that's for sure, but in Christ "We are more than conqueror's" This is such an important foundation truth for your life. Life can really drag us down is we let it. Sometimes it may be important to talk with a counselor or Dr. if your feel that you are unable to resume a healthy active life because of depression. I know there are so many things that can bring on depression and a lot has to do with a feeling of hopelessness for many. Jesus knows exactly what is going on inside of you & He is our healing & redeemer.!

Lord Jesus, I lift up Beccaroo to you in prayer, that you would bring deliverance from this oppression. Lord, surround Beccaroo with peace & hope. May You light shine brightly within Beccaroo & shine through the darkness that is there. Life this heaviness from her mind & spirit & put a new song in her heart. Mathew 11:28-30 [SUP]28 [/SUP]“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [SUP]29 [/SUP]Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [SUP]30 [/SUP]For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

I'm really sorry to hear that. I will pray for you that God meets you in the valley, and that there is surely an upgrade on route within your life. GBU and keep you in Jesus name.

Lord, thank You for Beccaroo and that You are drawing this person closer to You by Your love and tenderness. I pray this person would be given the gift of a grateful heart and a love that surpasses all understanding. I pray peace and joy into this person's heart and mind. I pray any double-mindedness or confusion would be wiped clean and made new. Make all things new and clean and shower Your sweet love on this person. In Christ's Name, Amen.

Thank you all so much. I'm trying so hard to work through this and it means so much to have great people like you who take time out of their day to give a random girl like me some words of encouragement. Please continue to pray for me if I cross your mind through out your week.
God bless.

praying for you.

u are not the only one im praying for u

Hey Rebecca. Welcome to CC! You say your Spiritual status is "unsure". The Lord wants you to make that "sure". So if you've never accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I would ABSOLUTELY start there. Having said that, I pray that the Lord will ease your mind and Spirit, and that you would feel His Presence in your life in a mighty way. He loves YOU and wants to continue to hear from you. God Bless you. In Jesus Name I pray.

I would say that no matter how bad things seem or hopeless they can get better, it may happen quickly or it may seem like a long time. I would keep praying asking God to reveal himself and to show you what to do. Also try going to church. Don't let emotional swings take control of you when you start to come out of depression that can happen don't listen to the voice that tells you things are hopeless

Caduceus

Thank you, really means a lot to me.

James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

John 15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

John 12:25
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

2 Corinthians 12:10
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

1 Corinthians 4
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place; [SUP]12 [/SUP]And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: [SUP]13 [/SUP]Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the off scouring of all things unto this day. [SUP]14 [/SUP]I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you."

Philippians 1
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith

1 Thessalonians 3
7 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in all our distress and persecution we were encouraged about you because of your faith. 8 For now we really live, since you are standing firm in the Lord.

That feeling that you don't belong in this world? It's because you don't belong to this world. The fact that you suffer in it says you must be doing something right. God says to persevere. Paul said he would. Shall we do any less?

Fight your world born depression with the knowledge that, in the Spirit you're all right.
