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?

HE "feels" so good about you. HE embraces your every moment. Look to Him, not to your "feelings."

When you became a Christian you became occupied by the Holy Spirit of God. HE is the mediator, the arbitrator, the reconciliator. All of Him is available to you right now and forever. If, on the other hand, you spend your days and nights listening to your "feelings," you are blocking the input of the Holy Spirit.

For example, He says, "I love you." You reply, "I feel bad." He says, "I'm right there with you." You reply "I can't ignore my feelings." He says, "the very best is right here, right now. You are being asked to participate in the wonderful Good News of God's Amazing Grace,the life-changing love of God is right here, right now."

How do you respond? "Oh, yeah, I know, I've heard it all before, but I'm just human and I feel these things that are apart of me and......" and He interrupts to say: "JENNIFERDIANA!!!! IT'S ME!! I'm assigned to change your "feelings" into love for me, yourself, and others! No more sticking your head in the sand, no more loneliness doing nothing----I placed perfect living in your head the moment you became a Christian." He says, "I am perfect --- you are perfect! You just have to recognize that you are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!" Romans 10:8-13. Believe it, Confess it, Receive it, and go on your way rejoicing.

I'm shutting down for tonight, but the Holy Spirit is right there with you 24/7/365. You can count on Him!

I understand, I suffer from depression. I know well how it feels.

When Christ died for you He paid the price for your sins. Give your guilt and shame to Christ. Satan often brings up our sins from the past, he is terrorizing you. Just know that God forgives all of your sins so you. needn't let Satan haunt you about them.

You must also forgive yourself. If Almighty God forgives your sin, you should forgive yourself. Ask God to help you do this.

Jesus said

Matthew 12:31
And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

John 14.1-27 and Psalm 46 are great passages, among many others.

John's First Epistle, amongst other themes, is about assurance of faith in the Son of God.

Count your blessings kid. Being thankful for what the Lord has already done for us is a sure-fire way to beat the blues .

Just goes to show how the daily habit of Bible reading and prayer is so valuable, right?

Thanks, I was trying to remember Psalms 46.

Verse 10 is memorable: "Be still, and know that I am God".
