I understand that but if you knew God was angry with you and that you knew you may be going to hell what would you do? How would you feel?

That will be a game-changer for you.

Treat the Word as a sword. As a soldier, you will need to know when trials come your way when and how to wield it. When certain attacks come, you must know how to counteract it. So the attack is depression, find scriptures that directly counteract it and learn it, so in the future when it does arise you know what to do. Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance, He is there to help you overcome.

Book of Psalms is an excellent book to start when it comes to addressing the variety of moods of life in a prayerful light.

For me, when im feeling the depression, I run to Psalm 34. Whenever I feel like the world is winning, its Psalm 73. If its to remind me about God's protection over me, its Psalm 23. To encourage me to keep meditating on the Word, its Psalm 1. Attack, counterattack.

Well God judges the righteous, and is angry with the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11), so off the bat we are not off the hook. We still have to deal with the sinful nature as long as we are on this earth, so that possibility will always be there til you die. So with that knowledge, although its a frightening thought, its not a surprise.

So now that we know that He is angry and there is that chance to go to Hell, what you choose to do is important, its either you recognize it and heed to God's instructions on what to do to not be damned, or cripple that chance with your fear and doubt.

Im going through my stages of depression as well. It helps to have a go to verse to comfort you. You do have any book or scripture verses in the Bible that you often gravitate towards when you're down?
