Depression is always a terrible thing to go through, and I'm terribly sorry you would have to experience it. But it is imperitive that you seek a relationship with God. Withought Him you are left having depressed thoughts and no hope in anything. You must know that he doesn't want anything to happen to you, but you must act on that. You have to find out what you have to do to get out of whatever you are in. It might not be as hard as you may think, it is easy to submit to someone or something if something like depression has taken your pride away, you just have to submit to God before you submit completely to your depression. I know that reasding your Bible is probably the last thing you would want to do in a time like this, but trust me, you need to find direction more than ever now. That is what the Bible is there for. Mabe you could even join a church somewer and find a pastor to talk to, they are usually realy nice people. Well, I realy hope that something I said helps you, and know that I will be praying for you. God Bless.

Thanks g man. I do agree with you. Im in a boat thats a lil more difficult, and i have a history of battling depression. Ive had issues with the doctors, and right now I know I need one, but i have a real hard time trusting dr.'s and therapists with my problems. God is about the only one that gives myself hope. Your right i need that conection back more now than ever, I battle anxiety as well, its a paralyzing problem...and i may need a prayer. I do have a few Bibles. I might as well give it a try.

If I may suggest, try reading Ephisians 6:10- 20 It basically talks about putting on the whole armor of God and it also explains that the things that you are facing are not of flesh and blood but are of the spiritual forces (such as demons)
Now, if someone told me that there was a demon making me depressed, I would get a little angry... No, i would probably get a lot angry. The thought of some stupid demon sucking the life from my soul dosen't appeal to me and I would be willing to fight it off any way i could. I don't know if you would feel the same way, if you do then you might be a little stronger than you think.

hello

I read your posts and I believe one of the greatest things that the enemy tries to do is to make u believe a lie. The Bible says he is the Father of lies. The Bible says when you come to Christ, you are like a new babe, with all old things washed away. You are now a new creature in Christ, a whole new person, the Son of God, you are a Prince! With royal blood now running through your veins, you ve got to make use of the powers which have been given to you as a son of the most high God. One of the greatest weapon we have been given as Christians is PRAYER. As hard as it is to do sometimes, we just need to pray..I believe the devil trembles when we pray. Remember, the battle is already won...you just need to claim the victory in your life...Practically that might mean saying aloud every time a depressing thought comes up...I am more than a conqueror through Christ...start confessing positive things in your life you ll see the difference!

Dear God bless Lesnes who is battling those inner demons of depression, loneliness, unworthiness, and hopelessness. Shine Your warm Heavenly Light down upon him now, Lord. Guide him to find peace, happiness, and contentment in all that he does. Amen.

I am better today deffinitely. thank you for asking. I have alot of different issues, however i remain optimistic now more than ever, and i am fully convinced only the Lord will be able to pull me through all this alone. I need more positive influencial people in my life, better time management, and some purpose. along with some scriptual studying and people to share that with I think Im gonna be ok.
