Hi Folks,

I've had depression for years, but within the last 2 years it's gotten much worth with times of suicidal thoughts and just horrible moods most of the time. Also within the last 2 years some amazing blessings have come my way, I met my fiance and we're due to get married in about 2 months. I used to be so happy, but most of the time I'm miserable hating my life and just no fun to be around. I get mad at my dog, who is a puppy when he does stuff all puppies do like pee in the house, I just seem to have a short fuse anymore. My fiance and I bicker sometimes and we never used to do that, since it seems like tiny annoyances will set me off or I'll just think I don't care about anything (depression creeping in again) and I feel like I have no real happiness or joy or things to look forward to in my life. Just wanted to vent/ ask for prayers for myself and my family that I start getting better. I'm going to a therapist and a regular depression doctor for my meds but sometimes it seems like it will never get any better. Anyway thanks for listening and all prayers are very much appreciated.
Thanks Again,
Moose645

It's good to know you are seeing a Doc and therapist. My first responce is to ask about them. Do tell them about the stress you are under. Getting married is stressfull, emotions are running at full throttle and expectations are equally high, of you, the day, preparations etc etc etc.
Do talk, to anyone who'll listen, to your husband to be. The bad news is that there are more stressfull times to come, whether its moving house, new job, pregnacy, sorting a school or illness for the little ones.

The good news is if you can come through the stress of getting married you'll sail through all the other that have yet to come.

So hang on.

I'll pray that you the doc and therapist can keep you on an even keel so you can get married and start on the rocky road that is married life. I'll also pray that your other half will understand you.

Thanks for the prayers folks. Yeah my fiance is very understanding that I have a depression problem and that it's probably never going to go away completely. She really helps me stay on top of taking my medicine and making sure I don't run out of my prescriptions. Thank you for the kind words and prayers it really helps knowing folks are praying.

1 Peter 5:8
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

Galatians 5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.

Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

James 1:2
Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

Lord we lift your precious child up in prayer and ask that you release the bondage of depression over his life. We ask that you replace his sadness with joy and his anger with peace. Help him to see the world through your lense. Help him to see all the beauty that you've created down to the smallest details, even just taking a stroll outside. Help him to tap into the strength you've already given him to fight back when the enemy tries to attack him with the spirit of depression, anger, or annoyance. Holy spirit, guide him in everything he does. Guide his thoughts. Help him to think on things that are true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, anything worthy of praise, that he will only think on those things (Philippians 4:8). Lord we know that you are the ultimate healer. You can heal anyone of anything. No condition is too great for you to handle. I declare that he will reach a state where he will no longer need any medication. Help Moose to see why you have placed him here. Ignite a fire within his heart that will help guide him to the very specific purpose you have ordained over his life. Send other Christians in his life that will help lift him up and propel him toward his destiny. Give him a strong solid support system of Christ followers. May he have a new found motivation to go out and live this beautiful life you have gifted him when he wakes up each morning. Magnify his perceptions of everything you have already blessed him with and help him to have peace and joy in that. Thank you Lord for you grace and mercy over each and every one of our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.

I pray, Lord, that this one will get into Your Word on a regular basis, and, like the Psalmist so often, would find how meditating on You and Your Word can snap him out of depression, and into rejoicing! Amen.

Chap. Bell

Our Great God, Who love mankind and sent His Son, Who became a sacrificial lamb for the sins of the world. God, I stand in the gap for this believer with depression, give him authority over this spirit of depression, and strength this brother so he may stand against this spirit. Glory to His name, I ask in the name of Jesus, amen.

God Bless,
