Father, I join in the prayers for this woman and for the depression that she is going through. Lord, please guard her thoughts, and her actions. Release in her the life giving light that comes from knowing Your son Jesus, the light that chases the darkness from our lives. This depression is like a cancer, growing and feeding upon itself, Lord, I ask for Your healing touch in her body, for her to be healed mentally by You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Dandygirl, I went through depression for several years without knowing what it was, and don't know if it got any easier after I knew what it was. I know what you are going through, how the darkness just seems to swallow you and grows worse each day. We can battle this though, we know what it is, it's not us, it's just something that affects us. The biggest part of the battle is knowing your enemy, we know it's name, it's called depression.
I remember telling my wife one day that we needed to make an appointment for me, when she asked what for, I said that if we didn't do something pretty soon, one of us was going to be dead. It's hard for someone who has never experienced this to see how bad it can be, or how real the pain it causes is. Keep in prayer, God does heal this just like any other of our illnesses. If you or anyone who reads this needs medication, please get it, God heals, but He also uses people to intervene for us.
When He spared your life the last time, I know He must have done that so you could help others with this disease, someone needs your wisdom in how this affects them and in how to overcome it. God bless you, and will keep praying for you.
