A prayer was lifted up for you Heather. Lord willing if you are so lead follow the Word of Knowledge below:
Most all depression/sadness are caused by a scattered mind that constantly moves to negative past experiences. We are told in the Bible to think on these things: Phil 4:8-9
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
In James 4:13, of the KJV of the Bible, tells us to "Go to Now", which is to live in the present. Seek Almighty God, praise be He, in prayer asking help in following the directions that follow on how to live in the present; with God all things are possible.
The simplest of methods or techniques is to focus your whole attention on the task at hand, which takes lots of practice.
Another method is to find a quiet spot and focus your whole attention on a picture or object in the room and be still; do not move a muscle and if you find your mind moving or your body moving just go back to your focus until you have mastered this technique.
Small children are controlled by what the body wants and needs and thus self-discipline must be taught and for adults in order for the higher mind to gain dominance over the body self-discipline must be taught through these techniques.
Also tell the mind to be quiet and be still when it constantly moves especially when practicing you techniques. Don't fret if the mind keeps moving just keep practicing these techniques.
Read Psalms 91 and the first four verses of Psalms 68 each night before sleep and any time you feel depressed or an evil influence.
Remember what you allow yourself to think, see, hear, say and do literally set into motion Almighty God’s creative powers that form the matrix of life’s reality you find yourself now walking whether good or bad; so knowing this practice each day focusing your whole attention on your movements whether thoughts, sight, sounds, words or deeds, doing that which is good, positive and constructive.
"A man can no more diminish God's glory or His Son Jesus by refusing to worship them than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.”
The Daniel Project was playing on Netflix and can be found on Face book; this documentary will open the eyes of some skeptics concerning the Word of God, prophecies fulfilled and Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah.
If you do not know Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, the Messiah, as your personal savior, yet believe He is Lord, was born of the Virgin Mary, died for your sins, arose from the dead the third day and is now at the right hand of Almighty God, then if so lead say this simple prayer to be saved and have eternal life in the Kingdom of God and not be Judged for sins truly repented.
Jesus loves you and is calling you.
“Hear Oh Israel the Lord our God is one Lord and blessed is the Glory of the Lord from His place; Precious Jesus the Christ of Nazareth please forgive me my sins and come into my heart and life forever Amen.”
If you are sincere in this prayer then know for certain that you are saved and if you need help on your Christian walk email me back.
