Hi again,

Is there verses that could help me when I feel really depressed other than what ellie has given me ( Thank you again they're really helpful ).
Every little things that happens to me bring me down and I'm so...I can't even described.
Everyone is pressuring me, I can't sleep and I really just feel like going somewhere far from everyone that knows me. Just to be in my own house is hard for me and I feel like I can't handle it anymore.

They told me that a professional would call me within 4 weeks but I think that the fact that I'm never sleeping well is maybe one of the reason I feel so down.

I thought that with all the help and prayers that I received from you, I could take my life back and just put my life in the hands of God but everytime that I'm trying to get better it's like someone is punching me in the face again Days seems so long and I'm so so tired . I just want to leave. It's so frustrating that one second you think ''oh I feel better today maybe I'm on the right track'' and then you just want to jump off your window. ¸
I'm so angry with myself because right now I can't be the person that I want to and I feel like I'm letting God down.

Hannah, you are not letting God down, God Our Father knows are weaknesses, that is why He sent Jesus to and for us. :)
Psalm 34 is another good read for help.
You are and continue in my prayers in Jesus.

Hugs and God bless

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Nehemiah 8:10
Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”


2 Cor 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.


Psalm 91
1 Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.

4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.

6
Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

7 Though a thousand fall at your side,
though ten thousand are dying around you,
these evils will not touch you.


I hope this helps!
In His Love, Shekaniah

You are His wonderful creation, beautiful in His sight, and precious to Him. He loves you with all His heart.

Isa40:26-31 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Sweet pea, you remind me of this verse:
“A bruised reed He will not breakAnd a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish" Isaiah 42:3
and this one:
“I am the Lord, I have called You in righteousness,I will also hold You by the hand and watch over You" Isaiah 42:6
and this one:
O Lord, You are my God;I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;
For You have worked wonders,
Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness. Isaiah 25:1
and this one:
And it will be said in that day,“Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.” Isaiah 25:9


Can you tell I'm really fond of the book of Isaiah?? ;)


I've also, in times of great distress, found help in the Psalms, especially the "thirties". For example:


The Lord looks from heaven;He sees all the sons of men;
From His dwelling place He looks out
On all the inhabitants of the earth,
He who fashions the hearts of them all,
He who understands all their works.
The king is not saved by a mighty army;
A warrior is not delivered by great strength.
A horse is a false hope for victory;
Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope for His lovingkindness,
To deliver their soul from death
And to keep them alive in famine.
Our soul waits for the Lord;
He is our help and our shield.
For our heart rejoices in Him,
Because we trust in His holy name.
Let Your lovingkindness, O Lord, be upon us,
According as we have hoped in You. Psalm 33:13-22


Also Psalm 56, especially v.8:



You have taken account of my wanderings;Put my tears in Your bottle.
Are they not in Your book?

Annie, you are so precious to Him, he saves your tears in a bottle. ♥
My 17 year old and I were watching a silly cartoon show yesterday in which one of the characters was completely disheartened and he exhaled slowly through soft lips (like brrrrrr) and slowly folded himself down from the waist till his hands were on the ground. My little girl looked at me and said, "I feel like that every day!"
That reminds me of the way you describe how you feel, too. :(

I'm sorry if I focus too much on sad scripture. It just really soothed my heart when I was sad...I hope it helps you to know that Jesus knows exactly how you feel--
He was despised and forsaken of men,A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And like one from whom men hide their face Isaiah 53:3 and:


The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18


There are also so many verses on encouragement...but my daughter's getting married on Sunday and I have this bridal shower stuff to attend to.

But I'll be back, little one. :)
♥ ellie

Im not feeling better but worse. It's just like I'm dying spiritually. And it's not that I'm keeping people away it's that I really have no friends. But I have an appointment with a social worker next week I'll see how it goes. I hope you can get better too.

Dear hannah, I will be praying for you that Lord will guide you in all the things. You will not be comforted anywhere only by reading the word of God. Read the Word of God and spend time in Praising and worshiping the Lord. I have son of your age he is also like that, i only pray for him. You pray for him, his name is daniel. God bless my daughter. Hannah

I'm so angry with myself because right now I can't be the person that I want to and I feel like I'm letting God down.

Feels like I always fall short of being worthy, cause I aint good enough, but He still loves me

Sefanja 3.17:
The Lord your God is with you
He is mighty to save
He will take great delight in you
He will quiet you with his love
He will rejoice over you with singing!

I UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN, I MYSELF GO THRU DEPRESSION, BEEN FIGHTING IT FOR YEARS, I AM ON MEDICATION AND IT DOESNT ALWAYS HELP. EVERYDAY IS A BATTLE FOR ME, THE ONLY WAY I CAN MAKE IT IS KNOWING THAT JESUS IS BY MY SIDE AND I HAVE TO ADMIT THERE ARE TIMES I WONDER IF HE IS LISTENING, BUT JUST REMEMBER THE DEVIL COMES ONLY TO KILL AND DESTROY, I LISTEN TO JOYCE MEYERS ALOT, AND SHE SAYS WE CAN CONTROL WHAT WE THINK, JUST KEEP MEDIATATING ON THE LORD, JUST REMEMBER ONE DAY WE WANT HAVE TO BATTLE WITH THIS NO MORE, SOMETIMES I CANT WAIT TIL EASTERN SKIES BREAK UP AND THE LORD APPEARS IN THEM TO TAKE ME HOME, MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU

Daughter of the Most High God,
Different seasons of our life bring many different emotions and feelings. Please remember this simple thing, season eventually change and pass. Holding on to the strength the Lord gives is critical during the hard seasons.

Blessings to you.
