Do I have evil spirits surrounding me?

[Ratchet21]

I always had to deal with depression and sometimes it was clinical. I think through all of this I just don't have good self discipline and self esteem. I racked up alot of debt and am now going to college to be a paralegal. Thing is that I forgot to file a FAFSA form this year and lost my pin so its too late now. I was saved when I was a kid (now 26) and was doing well until I reached my early teen years and everything has been a mess since. I'm ashamed of myself and wish God hadn't made it so difficult for me to get my life together. Trying to be disciplined is hard when going mental disorders and not receiving the proper care at home. See how I'm 26 and still can't get it together. Whining aside, does anyone have advice on how I should proceed? Should I temporarily quit college and go back next year after getting myself together and file next years FAFSA form or should I should I just take on more debt. Could all of this be caused by an evil spirit? I wish I could go to my parents for advice but they never knew what they were doing. I always wanted to start my own family and really hit it off in life but that dream might only be a fantasy.

Also should I read the Bible more and pray more? I mean that's what I've always been told anyway.

You can file a FAFSA late, it just means you might receive less financial aid, but it's required (my understanding) for scholarships, grants and other financial aid.

What do you think about what you should do? If you take a year off, will you go back next year or will you just give up on college? If you can work a year and then return to school, that would be okay for some people... but other people would not return to school. So what do you think about you?

I don't believe that the circumstances you are discussing are related to an evil spirit. I think they are just life circumstances. Reading the Bible and praying more will help your relationship with Christ - always a good thing.

You do not have evils spirits surrounding you. They don't exist.

Get the help you need and don't try to avoid it by blaming outside forces.

Depression is not demonic most often. Thinking that will only add to your feelings of hopelessness. Get some suitable medical and possibly wise advice about dealing with depression rather than using your limited energy worried about dark forces.

There is a series of fiction books I found most helpful that fit in to your problems. Mind you, they are fantasy/fiction, but were written by a Christian author. The book just changes the name of God to Eidon, Jesus to Tersius, and invents a different world for the same sacrifice. I found her story of people suffering, struggling with their faith, losing a lot, and ultimately prevailing in the end most encouraging. It's about God's way, not our way. If we believe in Him, we believe also that God has our lives safely in hand. Even when the devil does his best, we know that God is still with us.

"The Light of Eidon" is free on Amazon Kindle, which is the first book of the series, but it should be sufficient to give you encouragement. I believe that was one of her desires when she wrote it. Kindle is a free application as well.

I'm sorry to hear your problems. I have taken out loans few years ago, and now I am just paying them back. It really isn't that bad. However, your depression itself is more of a serious problem. I was chronically depressed. There was a time when I took medications but they didn't help. I was always filled with thoughts of suicide, but I prayed to my Father to give me comfort, and He has. Even now and then, I want to kill myself, but again, I pray asking for help from above. I also started reading the Bible more often, and I think you will find many verses that can comfort us, so keep on reading the Words. Remember that God is always there for you even when you are going through hard times & simply pray. He care for you.
