Joy

[lawtonfogle]

I was never dianosed with it, but my case was and is still very bad. It was at one point suicidal bad, but then God helped. The answer is find what brings you Gods love, joy, and peace. For me and most others I know it is worship, but not simple singing. It is the worship of David as he danced almost naked, not caring what others think. It is prideless worship. It can take me two hours before I reach this point, but it is what I hope heaven to be like. If you suffer from depression, try this.

I can worship at home bymyself a bit.. but at church its like there is something blocking me.. I move my mouth but no words... and I try to force myself to stand up and sit down many times and get up again.. what do u think ? pride? in my mind I think that if I sing like I do at home ppl will think im soo holy and good voice.. and an angel.. cause I really also do look like Jesus I know that even though I have short hair.. and that face appearance happens when I get closer to the LORD... but guess what didnt even satan look like God maybe more than the other angels but pride was his downfall.

I didnt mention alot of the songs at my church are also hard for me to sing .. but even the ones that are easy for me to sing I have this problem.

God want you to make 'a joyful noise' unto the lord. If your voice sounds like angles, or rocks, worship. It can't be no worse than when the rocks worship. I can't sing good, and many times Im told to stop singing when on the bus going on church trips, (mostly mission). I answer, 'The rocks will sing for me the day I'm in heaven.' and then keep on.

Pride is something of mine I have tried to destroy.
