What is it that pulls you and go into depression? Were there circumstances (recent) that happened in your life that you would feel that way. It's so important to find the root of it all.
Sounds to me that you are picking up the negative influences of the crowd. You say you "have been hanging around with a bad crowd." I can surely see where that can lead to depression which sometimes, but not always, is a sign that we are on an unhealthy path. I know because I have done that and felt really down about it myself until I got right again with the Lord and into good fellowship. It is easy to do if we have been discouraged over something but in time we learn that the old ways do not bring peace and can bring us down.
Find Christians to hang around with. Get in a small fellowship group at your church. Make new friends. Ask for prayer and support from them. These scriptures can help.
"Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the
counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners...Ps:1:1a(NIV)
He is like a tree planted by
streams of water,
which yields its fruit in
season
and whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers...Ps 1:3(NIV)
I also want to add that whatever type of people you're around influences who you become. I realized that when i'm around positive people, then I'm different compared to when I'm around negative difference. it's such a huge difference. I notice the difference in me too.
A lot of times when you feel depression people may whant you to snap out of it, but it is hard to do when you feel you are alone. What keeps me going when I feel that way, I first of all try to stay away from those who walk like there is a grey cloud on their heads always, and the most important is to talk to God like if you were talking to a close friend, and cling on to him, Jacob was also a sinner and he fought with the angel of God until he blessed him and Jacob refused to let go even though he had been hurt, read scriptures they are your food and guidance, repent for everything that God brings into remembrance and even the things you do not remember and ask your Father in Heaven to clean you and give you joy, I will also pray for you.
I hope you get out of your state soon.
May our Merciful God bless you, and may he send his angels to set a camp around you.
Sounds like you have some idea of what's wrong with you. I have a suggestion:
Why don't you stop hanging around with the bad crowd for starters and see what happens. My feeling is that if God reveals us one thing, he waits for our action until He reveals the next step.
God bless you.
Peter is right. God often reveals things a little bit at a time. I think that if He revealled everything at once we would be overhwhelmed. Pehaps he is showing you that you need to be careful about who you choose as friends.
I would suggest to you what I have done. Pray, dont stop, act like Jesus is with you all the time-well cuz he is. Then devote some time to scriptures, and meditate on those scriptures. Allow them to sink in and become a part of you.
God will use those scriptures to give you strength. And it gives you hope, to see the light at the end of a really dark tunnel.
Healing in Good Fellowship.
