I also struggle with depression. The Lord is showing me that I have unforgiveness in my heart. In order to be healed and to experience all that he has promised (protection, joy, peace, blessings, his presence) I must forgive anyone who has hurt or is hurting me. Unforgiveness causes me to sin, and therefore I am turning away from my God. So I forgive my parents for abandoning me, my husband for hurting me, my sisters and brothers for hurting me, my children for hurting me and anyone else who has hurt me. Lord, give me the courage and strength to forgive all these people and love them as you love them. In the name of Jesus, Amen

I’m going through depression, I’m 21 will be 22 in over a months time. I used to cry a lot but can’t cry anymore I just stay in bed until 3pm so that most of the day drifts away. I play computer games all day to distract myself or stare into space. I don’t read the bible much anymore I can’t concentrate, I prefer to watch GODtv or listen to christian music. I don’t have friends they either left me a long time ago, moved away for their career or I chose to push away simply because I’m too ashamed to explain to them my life. From experience my childhood friend told me I was weird, not normal and didn’t like the way I was. So that’s why I pretend I’m happy and don’t let people know about my depression. I did find an amazing church but left because personally I felt guilty that every week or every month I was never able to tithe because I couldn’t get a job, and every week the same people would ask me the same questions about my rubbish life. And so I just withdrew even though I loved being there. I have family but they have been through enough and get on with life as you do. They know I’m depressed but I don’t let them into my life. I’m lonley I guess and isolated myself. I haven’t left the house for a year or unless it’s to go shop across the road to get cigarettes. It’s just me and God. I lost hope a long time ago. Deferred hope makes the heart sick, and I got sick of hoping and just accept depression and anxiety and whatever bad luck I have as a part of me. I wouldn’t be a success without depression but neither with it. It’s just me and Jesus.

I was in the same black hole of depression for years. I found no hope in psychology, counselors, psychiatry or depression medicine or meds for my severe anxiety attacks. Hope, healing and deliverance can only fully come through God and Jesus Christ who came to set the captives free.

Hi Greenleaves,

I am so glad that you got out of that pit. What a wonderful, supportive family you must have. Everyone should have people around them who care. They are after all, God’s hands and feet. I too have suffered from debilitating depression for close on 15 years. Like you, I have immersed myself in the Word of God and spiritual reading, numerous retreats, counselling etc. No meds, thankfully. However, I have one comment: that your healing had to do with PEOPLE who were ready to reach out to you unconditionally, loving and supportive parents who gave a damn, no matter how much trouble it was for them, they never said to you ‘this is your fault, you are giving us so much trouble.’ This is the difference, I belive, between your situation and mine. God often does not work except through people.

I would love to hear how all of you are doing I feel that praying together we can help each other out! Remember where there are two or more praying the power of God will move in incredible ways! We should set a time where all of us pray at the same time what do you guys say? Imagine! Maybe a day where we can all fast and pray even though we are far away and we don’t know each other one day we will meet in heaven and have never ending happiness! Remember our sufferings here on earth cannot compare to the joy and peace that we will have!

I totally agree with craig we need to quote scripture daily as i would lay there in my bed daily with no human strength I would cry out to daddy and pray I would eat and throw it up I was panicky and crying all day with derealization with doubt and fear. But daily I kept praying and literally submerge myself in prayer, bible, church,music the devil will trick you by telling you this is not real and that Gods not really there but I started declaring Gods word, yelling it out God lives in you he never fails so we cannot fail, I recommend a website nancyarantWilliams.com read her story! Email her she has a great message but always pray first for Gods understanding not because you don’t feel him doesn’t mean he’s not there. Pray so the holy spirit gives you rest this is the 4th depression I’ve been true but I declare in Jesus name that I will learn this time because the other times I would get delivered and then forget God I wouldn’t commune with him and guess what glory to God I am eating again!

I want to say that reading this has given me hope. I keep on reading it because if God can heal someone that has gone through so much then God can heal all of us. I have had multiple episodes of depression and anxiety and deeply pray for healing, I declare I am healed in the name of Jesus and upon all of my fellow brothers and sisters in the name of Jesus. I know we are all warriors and the enemy will never attack people unless he knows that we will be doing great things in the future! God has big plans for all of us I just know it. And like Job we too will have double the blessings! we need to stick together and pray, read our bibles, and go to church you all will be in my prayers. God will never give you more than you can handle.

I too am going through a difficult time in my life with depression and anxiety. I have been suffering with this for three yrs and unlike the others I did take medication and therapy along with God. After three long years of peace the symptoms have reoccurred. I am doing things a little different this time around. I am first putting my faith in God and am praying and listening to Christian music and also going to church during the week and not only on Sundays. I know that God only gives us things that he knows we can handle, but man is it hard. I refuse to let the devil win and take over my soul like last time. Please pray for me!!! Everyday it is a little better. I am still taking my medication but am relying heavily on God.

God bless you all.

I have been speaking the word of God, into my life. My depression has lifted alot but I still have depression. Speak a few scriptures over your life, daily. For example: I am the righteousness of God in Christ; The joy of the Lord is my strength. Say it many times throghout the day. It takes about 21 days to see some changes but you will notice the change.

I pray for you, and I hope we can all pray for eachother in times of need. I like to think he walks with me in the most desperate of times, subtle yet undefeatable.
