I need someone to join me in prayer for my friend S. whom I love a lot and who mostly ignores me 'cause he perhaps has no power to talk to me. I just wish he felt peace and relief from his illness. Thank you. God bless you!

When someone is poorly they can get very frustrated, and attitude happens. Un fortunate there isn't a lot we can do. Just try and help and don't take it to heart.

I was literally up all night 'cause I was expecting an answer from him. Well he answers when I ask how he is but it's like he is angry that I even ask. I don't contact him so often (once in 3,5 weeks).. I'll never stop. I'm clinically depressed too, I can understand him...He has serious problems, has a right to be angry and sad at the same time...I'm so sorry about it all.
Thank you happyface.

Will keep you both in prayer. May you both develop a deep and trusting relationship with God. May His peace and joy fill your hearts with Hope as you learn to trust in the Gospel message and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Just a quick post script. For the longest time I believed depression as something to truly get a person down was a lot of hogwash. I do not know how or remember how, but one day I was so incredibly low for no apparent reason. It literally hurt in a hurt I could not locate, but I could truly feel it. This is teh only time in my life I have ever felt this, it was for just breif time, perhaps an hourl. and I believe the Lord was showing me just how awful people feel when they are truly depressed...it really is debillitating. I am in my 73rd year here in this walk, and again, that happened long ago, but it showed me just how awful aperson can feel, truly sick, so pray for people who are depressedd, adn pray some more, they truly need it. God bless all in Jesus Christ, amen.

Many people with mild depression really can lead nearly normal lives so it may seem depression is a mild disease. Distinction between levels mild - severe is enormous though, I mean that's also a reason why people generally underestimate it.

I know it can be tough when we see someone close to us hurting and in pain. I will be praying for peace for your friend and for you. You may know these things already but here's an article that I think you might find helpful. :)

Thanks, I still have to learn how to deal with people's different diseases. Doing something right is difficult sometimes. I would like to message my friend more often...I may not though ..as it's disturbing, I'm disturbing.
It's good we can pray and rely on God too.

Lord, please lift the spirit of depression off of this person. Give him peace of mind and shower him with your love. In Jesus' name, amen.
