I've been struggling with my mental illness lately. I couldn't process my thoughts and I feel that I'm slowly losing my grip of my sanity. I came across this sermon and it helped me to kick start with my healing through Jesus Christ. Everything will be fine. I choose life, I choose Jesus forever! I pray that everyone who is suffering with mental illness today may receive healing and let the Holy Spirit be upon all of Us. Godbless us All 🙏🏻

Yes me too, I've been depressed for a while now because I realized that I fear marriage and it causes me to have ED (it's healed now thankfully). I still stuck in this negative mental loop that i fear marriage without a way out even though i want to 😢😢
Finally a pastor who gets it. Thankyou so much for this word. I’m struggling with depression and having bad thoughts and lonely. God has brought me here. Bringing me tears. Please pray for me. Love from Australia
Your not alone , I feel the same way. I know God is with us🙏 .

I will be praying for you with all of my heart! I personally haven't had much luck with medication or therapy when it comes to my depression. I was stuck in a dark place almost on a daily biases. I had a hard time finding worthiness, hope and joy. As a last resort - I looked into ketamine treatment for my TRD - ketamine therapy has CHANGED my life! The experience is like a window into God's heart and love! It has helped me to amplify what I feel is important in my life while decreasing my stress and worries in a way that I feel God's love and strength. I pray for your healing a strength. Our God is an awesome, capable and loving God!
same here. Praying for u❤
@@gregorybrown7039do you take ketamine daily?

If you’re reading this just know that there is peace in the lord ❤ don’t give up, you don’t know the plans he has for you (yet)!
Thank you😢😊
THIS is what I needed to hear today, that even Elijah and Jesus were going through the same emotions, darkness and depression. It is hard to make sense of all of this but knowing that God still has space for the sad and weary gives me hope. Please pray for me to make connections with people that can walk with me, that is close by, someone that I can form a bond and friendship with. It is hard being isolated and lonely.
Me too i face depression since 2019,,,, this sermon about Elijah really helps me....n God also use me for those who faces depression
I'm in tears watching this I've been battling anxiety and depression for so long and missed out on every aspect of my life cause I'm always walking on egg shells..never had a beer in my life but now I can't go to bed without having one just to ease the thoughts I'm beyond tired I want to be normal like everyone else I miss being happy and not just smiling to hide the pain I'm at a point where I feel like even death would bring peace I know people will say things will be better just hold on but it's been like forever and honestly things are just getting worse by the day
Sorry brother. I’m feeling like crap too. Stay strong.
Please pray for me. Anxiety depression.

Thank you so much for this, I literally thought about giving up and this video gave me hope & that I’m not alone
I think about the stuff that burdens everyday. When I was little I used to think to myself people have it worse than me I’m ok. I would block out those things I wouldn’t think about it. But then I got older and it really set in it was like I unraveled my past one memory at a time like I was experiencing it again. I didn’t know I was depressed until in that thinking. I screamed on the inside and realized what was happening to me.
Please don’t give up I’ve thought about it to and your not alone. ❤
Your not alone
I needed to hear this 10 years ago.
@@barrcec16 I still need to hear this. Once and a while I still get "those" thoughts
@@sikujacob4556, @Cecilia Barry, We all need this all the time really, don't we? Even when personally, we are not going through it, we know someone who is. Seeing that Jesus, in his humanity, also most likely dealt with depression too, is BEAUTIFUL. Thank you, Jason!
I was just speaking to my brother about this ... Few hours ago
My family and I are currently being forced to move. And we have a very short amount of time to do it. We have reconnected with God through all this but it's still a struggle turn all three of us have broken down plenty of times throughout this whole ordeal. I really feel like this was talking to me. Or more accurately God was talking to me through this. If anyone reads this please pray for me and my family.
I'm praying for you all right now 🙂😁
@@eileenhuss7566 thank you. This time has definitely brought us closer as a family that's for sure.
I am struggling with depression for 30 years now. I have treatment resistant depression, so I never know how long the meds will work. I am in this blackness for 5 months know, meds don't work so far, I have used about all combinations of meds. Because of length of my disease, it began to slowly slip into spiritual deppression as well. i question God's existance and this is the most scariest place where anyone can ever be. Me, wanting desperately to believe, and me that just find it impossinle. This is the track that is playing obsessively in my mind. For a few years now, faith or lack of it, plays the major roll, in what causes the episodes of my depression, On the treatable side, with medicine, please pray that there still is something my brain will respond to. And most importantly that my faith will be restored, because it is leaving me in all areas of my life, hopeless, sad and very very depressed. I can't get out of bed and people make it so much harder because they just don't understand that anything can be that bad. I know my message is very lengthy, I apologize for this. Just please pray for restoring my faith and health.
Thank you

Tomorrow is a new day. Your new beginning starts right here. You need this rest right now because things are about to bloom for you very soon.
Thank you brother, and thank you GOD for stumbling on one of your servant’s teaching.. ❤🙏🏻
Thank you for the insite of wise scripture
Please pray for me. I made a big mistake, I missed out on an opportunity to spend time with a girl I love very much and maybe make our relationship work again. It was so simple to just get up and check, yet I stayed in bed because I thought it wasn't real and she wasn't at my apartment, even though some spirit told me she was. I know it seems small, but I even almost slit my wrists over my failure to act. I find it very hard to forgive myself and have prayed to God several times this week to take me to Heaven. I can't even get out of bed unless its to eat or go to the bathroom briefly. I cry and cry because I cannot change the past to get up and see her when she was here. I don't know what to do now...
Yes me too, I've been depressed for a while now because I realized that I fear marriage and it causes me to have ED (it's healed now thankfully). I still stuck in this negative mental loop that i fear marriage even though i want to 😢😢
I am strong enough right now to pray for strength butvit when i cant even prsy that c scare me.
Takes courage to speak up , please stay strong. Your not alone . Don't be scared to pray. Psalm 34:17-18The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
I struggle and have depression but I am as of now reading the bible more and started to socialize more at church. I know deep down the enemy wants us isolated and consumed with our thoughts .
Look up 1 Cor 3 16-17
i chose life
I’m pretty messed up currently. Any prayer from anyone would help. Thanks.
I'll pray for you 🙏
@@pamela0786 thank you.
🙌🙌🙌
I get it but I can’t see the purpose yet
Please pray for me I have struggled with mental health since I was taken off lithium and it has destroyed my life and I need the strength to start rebuilding in faith Nigel Barker
Huge manic episode followed by long clinical depression and anxiety
In the 10 commandments
6. Thou shall not kill/Murde
If a persons last Act on earth is to Take their own life.
It’s a sin
Even though Hell, which depending on which Bible a person is reading.
Is the name people gave the
( Lake of Fire. )
Which it does appear in the Bible.
This Service was Good, yet I grew concerned because I know individuals which are now thinking that they will not be Judged if they
Take their own lives.
That’s not what the pastor was saying. Yet that’s what’s being understood.
By non believers, I hope Christians know Jesus enough to Read the Bible & cry out to Jesus. In times of Depression & anxiety, fear, Sorrow.
What ever the situation Call upon the name of Jesus Christ
Who says that commandment included suicide. And aren't we supposed to be non judgemental and not think we know best. Murder comes from a place of hurting someone in an ultimate way who has not asked for that to happen to them . Suicide is not an act which is not wanted . How can you judge someone in such turmoil. Being judgemental i believe is worse than suicide . These kind of opinions give Christianity a bad name . Jesus himself said " let him without sin cast the first stone " . Guess you and I are without sin then
You are correct 100%. Suicide is sin.
The Catholic Church would not have a funeral back in the day if someone took their lives
