Dee Dee,

The following is only my experience and belief. I'm not "preaching" or giving you direction by any means.
Only the Holy Spirit knows your situation fully.

If you feel like you are being attacked by evil forces, then you probably are.
In my experience, only a very mature Believer will understand your experience.

It could also be physical. Depression can have physical causes and require moderate medical treatment.
I suffer from depression and my physician is a Christian.
Also, college is stressful. I completed my Masters in Engineering at age 41, so I understand.

You know that you are in God's Divine Will if you really want to complete your training to help others first, then trust God for meeting your material needs (wages). Being a nurse is like directly assisting Christ, the Divine Healer.

When I fully submitted to God a few years ago, my life changed. I was less focused upon myself and more focused on God through Iesous Christous and the Holy Spirit. I was able to conquer alcoholism, nicotine, and drugs with the help of Christ and the Holy Spirit. But I had to totally submit and that required some seemingly great losses in life. However, now I know that all things worked out for the very best.

Even those who are Christian psychologists may not believe in the power of the evil one.
Since I have a very scientific philosophy, I never would have believed in demonic forces unless they were experienced firsthand...which they were.

I am Orthodox and Coptic, but if you are Protestant, there are some excellent works by a Minister from around 1900, named Andrew Murray. His book "Absolute Surrender" and "The Power of the Blood of Christ" can really help your faith. Even when you are standing in line at the grocery store, get into the habit of saying mental praise to God, like "I trust in Thee alone, Lord". Brother Lawrence, a Roman Catholic Monk, performed these mental prayers during all mundane work.

Also, realize that we are living in a time of great upheaval worldwide with the Christian Faith under possibly the greatest attack since pagan Rome was in power. The battle requires strength, and strength is built through exercise: heart mind soul strength.

Please read Psalm 62 and really focus on the "God alone" phrases.
God is ALWAYS good and wants what is best for you, even if you cannot see it at this point in life.


Have faith: God will be with you.

I hope this helps a little.

In the Holy Name of Christ the Most Glorious King,

Orthodox

Hi DeeDee, one of my favoret scriptures when I am very low is:rev. 7.17, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes: It comforts me in knowing that God Our Father understands the sorrow we have in the world. I will keep you in my prayers that Jesus will not only heal you but bring Joy into your heart today, tomorrow and always.
Hugs and God bless, pickles

If you get counceling I would advise you to get advise from a Christian counceler not a Godless Therapist, whoes just going to pump you up with drugs and take your money. I like to catagorize depression into two different groups: lack of nutrition and demonic attact

As far as the nutrition part I mayself take fish oil that is supposed to help depression. And not eat too much junk food that may cause you to feel sick.

One thing that helps me if I ever start feeling depressed is that I realize thatit is probably an attact from the enemy. I haven't had much trouble lately because I think I have overcome most of my strongholds and fears that the Devil was using against me.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalites, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
