Interesting different responses, just to mention, today was especially difficult with depression for me as well; not that God abandoned me, the depression felt like it. Thoughts were to pray that I enter not into temptation to take things in my hands: to look for comfort in wrong places and feel abandoned worse, this happened before and the Lord spoke to me with compassion, saying, "Come to my house, I'm coming to my house," to assure me I was not abandoned and needed to come to Him, while I had opportunity. Thankful in our situation trusting He is with us, not easy in depression, may as well say we feel dead inside, feeling like we are in hell already. There is reference to this in the bible, not exaggerating, "If I make my bed in hell, Lord your with me." Depression, and hell is where our life does not make sense. Usually Saturdays here and by evening getting over it. Sunday is inspiration enough to know am not abandoned. When your age struggled with loneliness after church as well, now that's bearable, as mentioned, having inspiration enough to know am not abandoned. The rest of the week is too busy with work to have time to be depressed, that makes it worse for Saturdays, having no reward for the hard work, having no one in my Life. Would you believe one of God's name is "No one." When there is no one to distract us we find Him, in our deepest need. There are several references of this, not commonly known. Jeremiah 10:6 Amos 6:9-10
