In Need Of The Holy Spirit's Comfort

[Anonymous]

I feel depressed and miserable almost all of the time. I know as Christians we are supposed to have the joy of the Lord in our soul. I don't know what to do. God has blessed me so richly in this life that I feel even more miserable, sad, and empty at having the nerve to even be depressed and ungrateful. I read my Bible a lot and I have a strong prayer life. I have a supportive church AND a parent who is an ordained minister. I don't know why I am this way. I just hate myself and I want to die. I had my first episode of depression when I was ###. I attempted suicide for the first time at ### and that was after contemplating it all through high school and college. I attempted suicide a second time after the losses of close loved ones, in my thirties at this point. I have a family, a husband, four beautiful children, another baby on the way. Now I feel like it would have been better for me to die when I was single now I have this family who depends on me and instead of feeling loved I feel awful. I know there are people starving, dying, being persecuted, wrongfully imprisoned, sleeping on the streets and that I have no right to these feelings. I've sought spiritual counseling, psychiatric help, clinical social work therapy, I've been on psychotropic meds. I read my Bible till it falls apart. Nothing changes. Here's the worst part. I am a social worker; I empower people to help make more positive choices in their own lives, but I can't do it for myself. Every day I just put on a fake smile. I'm nothing like Jesus.

Precious child of God, you have nothing to feel guilty about, you can't help the way you feel, but my advice for you is that you seek out another doctor who will listen to you and prescribe a different medication for you because this seems to be a chemical imbalance. The Lord uses doctors to heal us sometimes. Let me say that you are powerful to the kingdom of God or Satan would not be trying to take your life so hard. I would like to pray for you now, Father, we come to You asking You to deliver this dear woman from depression once and for all, show her how valuable she is to you, let her feel joy in your loving embrace, let Your word become LIFE to her. Father, by faith let her receive what you have already done for her on the cross, and that includes deliverance, we give You praise, honor and glory, in Jesus name, amen! Be :heart2: blessed

I pray in Jesus' name for this lady's mind, thoughts, body, health to be healed normal and to function in the perfect way the Lord created it to function. I pray all negative thoughts out of this lady's mind in Jesus' name. I pray depression gone from her life, mind, thoughts. Lord, heal this lady in power, give her the mind of Christ and your divine healing. Flood her with divine healing. All darkness get out of this woman's mind, thoughts, body. I command it gone. I pray for her to have a sound, clear, positive mind from now on in Jesus' name.
