what I did to help

[Saucy]

I've been suffering with a little bit of depression for awhile. My life has been nuts lately with the passing of a friend, my grandma going into surgery and lonliness that I feel. I had a hard time getting to sleep and my day would be crazy. I learned a technique that will help and it's easy. I've decided that I was going to give up all kinds of music that I listen to and turn my radio station only to Christian music. The reason why you're depressed all the time is because Satan is throwing this at you and making you feel like ****. But, Satan is allergic to praise and worship to God. He hates it. Last night I mixed praise and worship (radio) and reading my bible. I felt the depression melt right off of me and the presence of God enter the room. That's how to get rid of Satan and his mind games.

Hi Saucy! Thanks for the reminder, I think this is a great idea in helping to relieve some of the depression for sure. It always helps me when I listen to praise and worship music. It gets things off me and gears my focus back to why I'm even in this world!

You showed maturity in Christ to do that Saucy. You rose up and resisted the devil and he fled from you.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom. It will remind and encourage us all to do the same.

I know how difficult it is to get over depression and anxiety attacks. It was very brutal for me early on, but I then had a revelation from God about a good sermon and many people broke down in my group when I preached to them about depression and how God reminded me that Satan is allergic to praise and worship. I hope this helps those who are crippled by depression.

Saucy,

I'm totally cripled with depression right now. I think you have a great suggestion on how to get through it. I will try it in the morning when I don't have to worry about waking people up.

 

[Saucy]

Please tell me how it works out!!!

Linux,
I would like to hear from you, too!

PS: By the way, do you use Linux instead of Windows? If you do, can you answer a few basic questions for me?

1) Yes, the worship does work. That was a good suggestion in this thread. My cd of choice was the second worship disk by News Boys called "Devotion". There is a song on there that says "you give and take away" that helps me to understand what was going on. But that is just details. Forcing myself to worship when I was down had the effect of picking me up. Man, depression can be so ruthless sometimes.

2) Yes, I am familiar with Linux. I recently removed it from my laptop because it was hindering workflow when transferring data and scripts back and forth. However, I still use it daily on my web server so I may be able to help if you have a question.

I like your OP. I will have to pick out some victory songs that sing about God's power and greatness. Thank you for the tip.
