let down

[indy336]

I have no doubt that God is the same God as the one in the bible, I have had many miracles happen to me (and I don't mean silly things, I mean incredible miracles), having said that, the ridiculous thing is, is that I am now suffering from depression (low mood) that I cannot throw off, I have had this for several years now and it's ruinning my life.

Depression doesn't necessarily mean that there is something spiritually wrong with you. Many mental illnesses are a result of a chemical imbalance in the brain or some other physical malady. Just because you are a Christian(I assume) and following God doesn't mean that you won't have to deal with problems and issues in this life, physical and mental- we're human. God can use anything He pleases to bring us closer to Him, to make us even more dependent on Him and His power. Even Paul had to deal with his 'thorn'. Doesn't mean God doesn't heal or God doesn't preform miracles either. But there IS a season and a time for everything under the sun. God has His reasons and sometimes we aren't privy to that knowledge. If you are really disenchanted by this seeking help from a therapist or pastor or even a psychiatrist may not be a bad idea.

I have known depression for a great majority of my life and have been to the pit and back with it. Not something you want to allow to fester and talking to someone who has some outside objectivity may help you gain some insight.

Just my two cents...
