As a follow on from my initial post above, I've done some thinking and I realise I've done things that have contributed to my depression. After mum died I withdrew from my family and during the covid lockdown I was watching a lot of really dark films and TV shows and listening to dark rock music, some of which was probably satanic. I wasn't exercising any discretion, or very little, in what I was consuming. However in 1 Thessalonians 5:5 NIV 5 it says 'You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness'. I can see where I've gone wrong and how I've sinned against God, which has contributed to my depression. This is probably why it has continued on for so long. Although some of the factors, ie. Mum dying, covid, having to work from home etc were out of my control, I've made it all worse with the mistakes I've made above.

I've been suffering from severe depression on and off since my mum died 4 years ago. I'm trying to come closer to God and read his word more but Satan is attacking me more and more ferociously to try and turn me away from God. I'm also hideously lonely. I work from home and live alone and I only know my dad who is a true Christian and the only other 2 friends I have aren't believers. Im terrified Im going to be left alone when my dad who is 74 dies. I need a Christian bible study group to attend but I keep suffering horrible attacks of depression and terror when I think about joining one. I've also prayed for a devout Christian husband but God hasn't brought a man forward to me yet. Please can you all pray for me because I feel so horribly alone and God feels so far away. Another problem I have is that I'm not very sociable and I have real difficulty trying to make friends. I've never felt so isolated and lonely as I do now x


May God calm your fears and bring peace to the turmoil that you are feeling. You are not alone, God is with you, He has promised never to leave you nor forsake you. May His promises come to your remembrance and may His presence be felt and seen in your life. May you feel His warm embrace as you continue to draw near to Him in Jesus name.

Thanks very much for your prayers. I'm beginning to feel more hopeful now

Thanks very much for your prayers, I really appreciate them all. Please could you pray to God and ask him to give me guidance on my job. I feel he is steering me towards getting a new job, but I'm not sure what job I want to do yet x
