Tired of being sad

[Jordache]

I've been sad my whole life though I couldn't identify it as such until the past year. As a child I thought my life was normal. As I got older I realized I was depressed. I started anti-depressants when I was about 24 and it took the edge off. Basically I was miserable but I wasn't going to kill myself. To me that was normal. I list my insurance and medication a few yrs ago, had a few broken relationships and deaths, and now I just feel sad all the time. It's depression but it seems more tangible to label it sadness. I can through a day and wear a happy face but the more tired I get the sadder I get. I'm tired of being sad all the time, but I don't know how to be any different.

Hugs Jordache, Jesus will help you find joy, and continue to heal you.
I felt the same , for as many the same reasons you speak to.
But in Jesus I one day began to see that His presance in me was the joy and streangth that sustained me, and in time,
renewed and healed me.
Jesus is doing this in you, keep trusting in Him, He will bring the delight and joy in Him you so dilegently seek.

You are and always remain in my prayers in Jesus.

Hugs and God bless

Find your peace in the Love of the Lord, know that he loves you, and his spirit is in you.

John 1:12 - #1 Adoption Verse- All who believer are adopted as children of God

But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.



Romans 8:14-16 - #2 Bible Verse About Adoption-The Holy SpiritFor all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God's Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, "Abba, Father."For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God's children.
Galatians 4:4-6 - # 3 Scripture On Adoption- Freedom from the Law
But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own children. And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, "Abba, Father."


Psalm 68:5-6 - #5 Adoption Scripture Verse- God the Father
Father to the fatherless, defender of widows-
this is God, whose dwelling is holy.
God places the lonely in families;
he sets the prisoners free and gives them joy.
But he makes the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
Matthew 18:5 - #6 Bible Verse About Adoption- Welcoming a Child
"And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.
John 11:52 - #7 Bible Passage on Adoption- All are Welcome
And not only for that nation, but to bring together and unite all the children of God scattered around the world
1 John 3:1-2 - #8 Bible Scripture on Adoption- God's Children
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don't recognize that we are God's children because they don't know him. Dear friends, we are already God's children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.

Sometimes you get so happy with God, your body just can't stand it. I always used to feel sad after a really good gig, finally figured it out.

i guess you know it's a command to praise God with joy. Hebrew has the action words, shout for joy, dance for joy, act in joy. So you can do it.

Hi Jordache,

The Good News is that the Lord shall turn your mourning into dancing! He is faithful to His word.

He is great and He is able. He wants you to enjoy life not be depressed.

Here is a question for you to think on.

What do you want you life to be in Christ?

I want you to ask yourself this genuinely.

When you are praying ask God to impart unto you His wisdom and knowledge. Ask Him to guide your footsteps. Ask Him to pull down the hindrances and curses upon your life.

Let not your heart be troubled my sister there is hope. We serve a great and awesome God and there is none like Him none greater than Him!

Humble yourself before God. Go to Him tell Him what is in your heart ask Him to lend His ear to your supplications. Ask Him to fill you with the Holy Spirit and to minister the word to you as you read it.

You are to read the word of God daily. Schedule time my favourite time to do this is in the evening around 6pm and early in the morning around 3am.

Read the word let it saturate your soul, your heart, your mind. Read the other gospels, the epistles, the book of proverbs, the psalms, read about the patriarchs. Ask God to show you the lessons in the scriptures.

I guarantee along with others I know who can testify that this can happen that is your sadness be turned into joy! Unspeakable JOY! I know because I have it just like many others who can testify they have it.

I want you to praise God praise HIM.

Praise is as powerful weapon of a Christian. It causes a disturbance that demons dont like because in praising we are giving the recognition and the adoration to the one true Living God!

The word of God is another weapon the more familiar you become of the word the more you understand. In your understanding apply it to your life. Declare the words over your life. Say them in prayer. This is the sword in the armor of God.

The enemy will try to attack your mind your heart to keep you down to hinder your progress you have to pray on this also. The enemy knows that he is running out of time so he has been increasing his attacks on all Christians.

Do not let anyone steal your joy they didnt give it to you! God did!

Now I pray for you my sister.

Father God in the name of Jesus I humbly come before you. I present to you in prayer my sister Jordache!
Dear God her heart is heavy with sadness and depression. Dear God only YOU have the power to turn the hurts of any man.
Therefore God I ask first that you cleanse her with your living water to remove in her life all hindrances. I ask Dear God that you pull down the stronghold of the enemy has on her mind and her heart filling her with this sadness and depression. I come against all the works of the enemy upon my sister Jordache and I rebuke them all in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I break every chain of bondage in your life!

Dear God let take out her heart of stone from her flesh and give her a new heart of flesh! Establish in her Your new commandment of Love. Dear God purpose her heart to rest in You, to hand over what ever cares she has before Your throne of Grace and Mercy.

I submit to You Almighty God my sister's hurts and pains from her past. Set her free deliver her from this so she can step boldly forward into the blessings You have waiting for her. I cover her past with the blood of Jesus that her past no longer keep her a prisoner and that she be set free. I cover her present that her heart take delight once again that there be a restoration of what the enemy has stolen from her one hundredfold! I cover her future with the blood that there be nothing in her path to hurt her or harm her as she steps forward.

Fill her Dear God with Your wisdom and Your knowledge guide her steps. Fill her with Your presence so she can feel the stillness that only You can provide. Lord God Almighty bring into her life goodness in every way that she can have that abundant life which You meant for us to have! I declare victory in Jesus name! Praises be Your most holy name Dear God! From everlasting to everlasting.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen Amen.

Jordache you have been set free of your sadness. Have faith believe keep focus on Christ He won't let you down!

Dear Jordache,

Ofcourse i dont know how its for you, how you experience it but from what you say it looks like i know what you're talking about. Its not that there nothing you can smile about, but its like theres just Always a grey sadness on the background and the edges of your life. A very tiring sadness that is. And theres nothing to be done about it really, it just has to change and to dissapear in time and one day you'll notice that its gone less or that you finally feel happy again. But i wont lie to you: it can take a real long time or maybe it wont leave at all. I dont know, i have nothing to say about it If i had i wouldve been happier myself for a long time . I guess its not up to us to decide whether we should be happy or we should carry this sadness with us.For me the hardest part was to accept being sad so often (or always) for really no reason. But now its going better and i thank the Lord for that. I'll pray for you my dear, i sure will. Take care, and please let no one make you believe that it has anything to do with the strenght of your faith: God doesnt works that way as to stop you from being sad when you have great faith! Its great faith if you have this sadness and still can trust in the Lord that what He wants for your life is best! And i promise you; it is best.

I feel ok today. I've got a few things working against me other than life circumstances. My medical issues lends themselves to depression. My family history is a genetic soup mix of mental disaster. I am currently on an anti-depressant which I take for migraines. Soon I will be starting another.

 

[Siberian_Khatru]

Hey Jordache,

I think I can identify with you verbatim. There was a period of about 2 - 3 years when nothing felt worth getting out of bed for; musing intensely became a pastime and only furthered the melancholy.

It's with great empathy and a heavy heart that I hope that this heavy feeling will flee from you, and sooner rather than later.

 

[prodigaldaughter]

Sometimes we take baby steps sometimes we take large steps the Lord shall guide you. Today is the day the Lord has made we all shall rejoice and be glad in it!

 

[bracha]

DEAR JORDACHE,
Clearly, it's your ultimate enemy, Satan, who is out to slander you, to steal from you, hurt you, lie to you, kill and destroy you and he'll use any means possible to do it.when you strive to please God and to be happier the devil comes at you through this sadness and health issues but hang in there my sister.You must ambush your archenemy who is manipulating these people and situations! How? By praying more! Learning the word more! Sharing the Gospel more! Forgiving more! Becoming wiser and stronger in the Lord! Becoming more like Yeshua (Jesus)! Press forward toward the Kingdom of God today — your great reward will be with Him!May the Almighty grant you grace and mercy to be an everlasting overcomer always.
take care........
Bracha.

I went through many years of depression due to severe health issues. God started giving me scriptures to meditate on, and I have come out of the depression. You don't have to keep saying it is genes and your family background. That is also what I did. Then God told me to trust him totally, and I don't let the physical bother me any more.

Here are some verses that show God understands depression:

"Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God." Psalm 42:5 HCSB

Notice the answer is to hope in God and to praise him!

"And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,[SUP]4 [/SUP]endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. [SUP]5 [/SUP]This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us." Romans 5:3-5

God knows and he is just waiting to transform you, if you will let him!

 

[Jordache]

So many people attribute all bad to an attack from Satan, but this is simply not true. We live in a sinful world and carry around a sinful body. Too many people give the devil way too much credit. May this have some to do with the enemy himself, maybe. But it has much more to do with the decaying flesh in me. It has more to do with the affect of living in a sinful world. That being said, I feel better. Perhaps it was some way over-active hormones. I assumed it was. Am I a happy go lucky person, no. But I'm not miserable.
Reading the word and praying more are good acts, but they are a means to an end not the end themselves. Many people confused the disciplines to be the goal of our walk. This is dangerous. The disciplines are not a list of boxes to check which make you a better Christian. They are a structure used to meet with God. If you read or write or pray and never hear God you should move on. That also being said, sometimes we don't feel it or trust it and we have to go to those disciplines with a heart speaking something like this "oh lord I don't want to do this but you say I should meet with you and so I pray that with as much as I can put forth that you would meet me in my sacrifice.

Change to an 100% organic diet and your life will improve. The devil is trying to intoxicate our thinking pattern through the foods that we eat; but if you eat organics food and consume non-chemical fluids ( or just boil your drinking water for 40 mins), you will see how much your mental and physical problems improve. Just do that and you will see..


Here's a little video that you should watch.

And make sure that the food is kosher.

I'm a super vegan. I eat no meat, dairy, soy, nuts, grain, or wheat. I eat only fruits and veggies plus an amino acid supplement. All my produce comes from the local farmers market. My diet is good.

you poor woman. how do you sustain? if u didnt have that amino acid supp you'd prolly be dead lol.

 

[my_adonai_]

Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isa 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

GODS annointing(the filling of the Holy Ghost) comes with the full package of the above verses. just gotta seek it and claim it. i remember the first day i got saved, i could not stop SMILING. and it was from the heart.
when you let the Spirit of GOD just move in your heart, soul and mind. to just give you free, liberty, and fulfill the above scriptures, you will be having a bigger smile than mine (i have a small mouth anyway lol).. Look to the word, not the sadness, the past. all that is past, you are a new creature in the LORD, and when you believe and live it. GODS fruit of JOY will AWE you!!.

May His Spirit move in you when you believe in Jesus Mighty name..!!..

Jordache, I remember when I was being a 'super spiritual'
Christian, trying to be up because it was expected of me, it
was a struggle. I always said if you made a chart of my life
of up and down days, it would look like the a mountain of peaks
and valleys.

My thought for you is hormonal. But, you know your body
better than any one. All I can say is I understand your mood
swings, and I won't even try to analyze it. We all are made
different and we will have different opinions.

As for diet, I was vegetarian for about 8 or 9 years. I do know
Vit B is a must. I am sure you know that.

I pray the Lord will see you through this walk you are on and
at least you are holding onto Him. God bless ~

Well my diet is not really by choice. I was born with a genetic disorder. My body does not transport the amino acids to my brain which aid in the forming of serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.

GMO food are some type of hybrid. Like Cabbage DNA is splice with scorpion DNA that causes the cabbage to produces scorpion venom to kill off pest. And a lot of other vegetables, Fruits, wheats grains, and rice are done that away also. But the only way to avoid it is to buy organic. And they are doing animals as well.
