Can a god really help me with this problem?

[BNR32FAN]

I really don`t know what happened, but after I turned 30 sort of I`ve always feeling so bad inside, the doctor doesn`t say I`m unhealthy or anything, I eat good usually and I lift weights, but I`m beginning to suspect I always get too little closeness when I`m out with people, I think perhaps the pain comes from that, it`s really painful to sit like this but you know people in society never talks normally almost, it`s just business or a short hello, do you think I could perhaps trick the doctor to get those trips to spain because of bodily pain, do you have any experience with it perhaps any of this, do any of you also feel the same problem or do you get get enough closeness from believing in a god, if prayer doesn`t help, what to do then, thanks for all the help I can get? I also have this feeling often that Satan is watching me ...

7 years ago if someone would’ve told me that I would become a Christian and would love to read the Bible and study it I would’ve laughed and said you’ve got the wrong guy. I would’ve NEVER believed that I would ever read the Bible, much less enjoy studying it. But things got really bad in my life. So bad that for years no matter how hard I tried I could not find happiness. I didn’t know it then but God was pushing me into a corner where the only way out was thru Him. Finally in desperation I broke down and turned to God and have received overwhelming blessings from Him. A have a beautiful family, God has blessed me in my job, I have so many great friends who truly care. All of which I didn’t have before even tho I tried for most of my life to attain these things. God has blessed me with more than I ever imagined and I am very thankful for it. Perhaps He is working on you.

Believing in god, is that the same as when people`s mind get a little alternated like when they finally starts having a hobby, sort of a mind-altering from the normal?

Do you suspect that you have depression?

I do think that prayer and the Scriptures can make a huge difference.

Hebrews 11.6 is also apt: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

While medicine is also necessary if it is depression.

There are various forms of depression; clinical, spiritual, etc. There is a secular tendency just to lump them all together.

It depends on what type of depression he has. If he has a physical depression in which he lacks certain chemicals in his brain ,then he needs medication. Although it is true that some people have gotten better without meds.

Medical advice might be useful; some secularist doctors seem to want to discount spiritual issues, though.

And what if his depression is purely a physical one?

From a distance, hard to tell, right?

I think post #21 is pretty good; and a lot of secular doctors might just discount what it says.

Yeah good post. Yeah secular doctors will discount it but my question is what if his depression is purely physical? Don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to prove that his depression is physical because I have an intention to see him get a secular cure and then forget about God. I'm on the Christian side but just pointing out the reality of it if the depression is physical. If he is unfortunate to end up with a secular-minded doctor,then he should just take the meds given by the doctor without adopting the doctor's beliefs.
