I suffer from major depression and am on a never ending roller coaster.

I have absolutely no doubt that I am saved and secure in God's Hands, but this human disease makes me want to simply give up.

I feel so unworthy and useless. The more I try to do what God asks me to do, the more things seem to worsen. It seems that no matter what I say or do cannot make anyone happy.

Deep down I know that God has a reason, I just wish I understood.

I really do not know how much more I can take. Please pray for me.

I was diagnosed with bipolar 3 years ago. I know that rollercoaster you're talking about. Brother, keep your faith strong by reading God's word and talking to Him. You already KNOW that He's there so try as much as possible to reject the enemy's lies.

I just wanted to encourage you to keep trusting in Him. Sometimes we don't understand or know the reasons why we face these things but remember that the bible says tat this too shall pass. :hug:

I pray that God heals you and that He touches your life with strength, joy, wisdom and grace. In Yeshua's name, Amen.

There is only ONE you need to aim to please and that is your Lord & Saviour! Live your life in such a way that pleases Him and all else will fall into place. Here is a prayer for you to say every morning. It helps me to start the day on the right footing seeking what He wants in my life! Will pray for you to perservere and overcome!!!

Grant me Your grace O Lord Jesus, the Longsuffering, and be with me that I may dwell in You unto the end. Grant me that I may ask and wish always for what is pleasing to You. Let Your will be my will. Let my will follow always Your will and be in accord with it in a perfect way. Let both of us have one will, for I don’t want to desire anything except what You want and what You wish.
Grant me not to lust for things of this world, that I may dwell in You in all things and hold above all things the desire to be as You would have me be and to do as You would have me do. You are the peace of my heart and the shelter of my life. You are the real peace and the only comfort and apart from You, everything is hard and confusing. Therefore, in this peace which is in You, the Great Eternal Good, I am able to rest. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.

Father we pray for Your Holy Spirit to enter this matter and meet all needs. We know nothing is impossible for You and we pray for Your divine intervention. As Your children we know to expect a miracle. It is in Jesus Beloved, Holy, Gentle and Mighty Name we pray.
Amen

Because He Lives
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.


Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.



How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.



And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.



Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

I am having a really terrible day. I have been "fired" by my doctor for asking for a second opinion. I have been blatantly lied to, by his receptionist, office manager and the other doctors nurse (who told me he was not accepting new patients, and to which 5 minutes later a receptionist told my wife that he was accepting new patients). I have been denied being seen by another doctor, simply because they work in the same office. I was told by my brother (who happens to be a lawyer) that I have no rights to think the way I think by expecting the other doctor in the same office to take me as a patient. He also laughed at me for my thoughts and opinion, and lectured me for having them and not being able to understand his opinion, all the while telling me that he agreed that the entire situation was IHO handled incorrectly and that the original doctor was a prick


The above song popped into my mind, and I am so trying to take it to heart. Yet knowing that I truly believe every word, Satan is digging and digging. Being a depressed Christian is the pits. I wish so much that the depression would let go.


IS IT WORTH IS ANYMORE?
At this particular moment I can not see it.


Please I need your prayers.:prayer:

Hi hon take a little advice from one who lives through the same stuff. You can not make everyone happy. Make God happy and let Him deal with all the others stuff. Do what you can do and let the rest go and pray for them. There are so many other things for us to deal with. Making others happy is not always going to happen. I always pray to give me peace with God and man and favor. So far I've been better off since making the decision and sometimes I have to practice what I preach. Hang in there. God loves you and NEVER wants you to give up. And if you need to yak i'm available when my computer is up.

Dear Lord Jesus please give this person wisdom and understanding in all situations they have to deal with. Give peace and favor with God and man. Lord we know that depression can be a biological problem so I ask You to align their body accordingly to Your perfect will and purpose. Bless and keep them in Your perfect peace in Jesus Name Amen
