Help with depression and prayer

[WrtrsTeardrop]

   Hello everyone,

I have been struggling with depression since I was in fourth grade and have just recently now 7 years later gotten the help I need.  But I still continue to struggle.  Everything is so difficult.  I have been doing well with my quiet time with God and reading His Word, but something is missing and I don't know what.  I know my prayer life is suffereing.  I was just wondering if any of you have any ideas or advice on how to help me.  why is it so hard to trust God completely?  Well, thank you for listening.

In Christ,  Angi

Hi Angi, our trust in God grows as our knowledge of His character increases.
Keep wrestling with God until you get to the point where you can say "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." Genesis 32:30

It is difficult to trust God because he is unseen.

Matthew 6:6

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.


2 Corinthians 4: 16-18

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
