I am sad

Sometimes I feel that I struggle in my mind. My mind is like a battlefield, although it wasn’t as bad as it used to be.
Negative thoughts come in my mind and I try to don’t pay attention to them but it’s hard. Sometimes I just don’t know what to do anymore and I feel helpless. I want to be strong but sometimes I just feel like giving up so I dont have to be in a battle anymore. But I will never do that...but I just get those feelings...

So what can I do about this ? When will I just start enjoying my life as it is ?
And then the guilt comes in.... telling me how dare you feel this way. There
are people that have it far more worse than you...

My own dad walked 35 miles to school across cracked glass so I am sure my life has been easier because of the shoes that dad PROVIDED me off the sweat of his own back. Guilt is a very refined tool used for ages as parental guidance and later takes on a more permanent and personal role in one's own psyche. It is born of God's conviction to us all, our sin nature, but we are talented at enhancing its effects. Bottom line is that you are important to our loving Father, God of Israel so much so that he sacrificed living blood through Christ Jesus, put up with being humiliated, and died for your personal sin and gives this salvation to you by Grace and without reminding you of it or demanding guilt.

The Power of Christ in your life compels you not to sin. Your conviction bears your grief for committed sin. The continual guilt, however, all belongs to you.

I feel so so sad... It seems like I just cant stop crying...

Tell in detail what you're sad about Dalisa. First identify your pain.

Dalisa:

What are you so depressed about?? If you cannot answer this question..it may mean that you're under a satanic attack of depression. I am praying for you. As the bible says..."For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind"The devil wants to steall your joy as a child of God. He does not want you to have a sound, content mind.When you are sad,depressed, or in fear the devil is happy. I pray that you uncover the underlying issue that is the root of this sadness.

Sometimes I just don't know why I am that sad... It seems like the last days I’m so sad I don't even want to talk. I keep praying but sometimes I even feel too sad to pray, but I still will pray. While writing this I’m tearing up. Guess the underlying issue is fear and insecurity and it gets so strong that sometimes I just can't deal with it. I sometimes feels like giving up is much easier. I just feel stuck in this life in this world. Guess It’s the uncertainty of this World. Like everything can change in just one moment.

And I’m having some health problems too. Right now my energy is very low. I'm just tired. I’m so uncertain about the future. Will everything get okay? I have been sick for a while and just began working for a few hours a day. It's hard. I know that some co-workers where/are gossiping about me. That hurts my feelings and adds to my sadness. I just feel numb these days.

And then the guilt kicks in, telling me there are people that have it far more worse than me. For example the hungry kids in Africa.

Hugs Dalisa, it is not about the mesure of your pain and need, it is simply that you need.
For Jesus is close to the roken hearted, and is your comfort.
Praying for you, for all care and lifting of this saddness, there may be a medical reason for it, so ask your dr.
Sometimes too, this kind of saddness is because of an anger that was not allowed to be healed.
I'll keep you in my daily prayers in Jesus.

Huge hugs and God bless

I'm sorry to hear that you feel yourself that way. Try to read the Bible (esp. verses that speaks about our worth in God's eyes) -> and try to replace your negative thoughts with these verses. Read them slowly and really think about it. And one more thing-praise God. I know it is not so easy to do when you feel yourself sad -> but believe me -> that will help you.

I will pray for you.
God bless.

I will be keeping you in prayer. I really hope that the day brightens up for you in Christ. Keep your head up high and remember Jesus loves you; that feeling you have of guilt place it in his hands so that the load on your shoulders can feel lighter in your walk.

Smile ^_^ and remember that we are all here for each other in Christ!! God Bless!

Feelings are hard to feel, there is no doubt, so all to often we try to reason ourselves out of them, by saying Hey there are people worse off that me, the truth is it doesn't matter if there are people worse off than you, you are totally justified in the feelings that you feel.

There are so wrong feelings to feel, and they all steam from a place way down deep inside of us that all to often we don't want to find the answer's to. However the answer's are always there, if we seek we will find the Lord say's.

The concern you have about being ill, is a very valid concern, which can lead to feelings of depression, worry, anxiety is it ever going to get better, am I going to earn enough to pay the bills????

Thinking these things does not mean you don't love the Lord, it mean's you are human. I have found that honesty is really the best policy with the Lord, because hey He knows how I feel already. So if I have been feeling this way, I say it like it is to the Lord.

Lord I know I should be more grateful, and I feel less than because I am worried about my needs, or my health or whatever, I know what your word say's, but battle to believe it. Please Father make it real to me, tech me how to depend on You Father.. Thank you Lord Jesus that you will never leave me or forsake me, help me Father.

Remember that the Lord Jesus dies just for YOU on that cross that day, and everything you feel and fear is of concern to Him, because you are forever loved by our Father.

I have been feeling the exact same way and also I sense my coworkers gossiping about me too. I will be happy to pray for you. I have been feeling very hopeless today which is probably an attack from the enemy. He is also reminding me of everything I've done wrong my whole life...

Praying for you Dalisa that you may overcome your depression in the Lord.

you are not happy about yourself because you have not yet discovered what you are on the inside. worse of you will become if you hang out with the wrong people. dear friend, i will pray for you and i hope you get the right people around you do help you find the right path. otherwise, seek first the kingdom of God and the rest will fall in line

Just wanted to check in on you Dalisa and see how you are doing.
You remain in my prayers in Jesus's name.

Keep your eyes on Jesus, not the saddness, for how can we see His gifts, if we are looking away from Him.

Hugs and God bless
