I had depression for many years, a darkness and heavy weight on my shoulders. A few years ago I was led to pray a prayer to break generational curses in my family line and I did so, the next day I woke up and I felt really light, it wasn't until after maybe 10 minutes, I realized the heavy weight and darkness was completely gone. It has not returned since, which is about 4 years now. God is good.
That is wonderful!!! God is so good!! So happy for you friend!!!
Have u followed deliverance prayers? They do work, it's really about the faith aswell. I hope you be healed @@strongereveryday8905
Breaking generational curses. Thank you for reminding me that we have the ability to pray about them
Pastor Derek Prince has indepth teaching and deliverance prayers for these types of bondages. I've tried it, but it did not work for me for depression. I did get delivered from a spirit of (something we're not allowed to say online anymore). I definitely felt very different after. For many years that spirit no longer afflicted me, I still got depression, but the urge to * myself were gone. That kind of oppression has come back in this worst and longest depression, but I resist letting it back in. I really could use prayer. Not all of us get delivered from this, but I'm always glad for someone that does get delivered.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 praying for you!!! I think there is hope in knowing a couple things. 1) We can be healed of any mental illness. God can do it. 2) Is knowing the one that can heal us. I’m not sure why mental illness is a season for many and a lifetime for many. I’m sure if we sat down and had a conversation we could possible identify things that help and hurt. He hasn’t taken mine away for 28.5 years BUT GOD. I believe with every ounce of me He can heal us… when? It may or may not be this side of Heaven.
What I know for sure is you are a child of God and He loves you. My heart breaks that you are dealing with this. Breaks.
I just found your channel so happy I did. I’ve had 2 churches turn me away because I have depression and take medication for it. The pastors told me I was going to hell and they almost pushed me to suicidal. I have church online because I don’t know where to go or who to turn to. God saved me and saved me from suicide I punish myself and I don’t need others to punish me and judge me. God bless you for these videos
Sis I am so, so sorry that happened to you and so very thankful you realized that’s not God and tan TO Him instead of away. I believe deep within me carnal Christian’s have zero knowledge about many topics BUT instead of saying, I don’t know or I don’t understand they “fear up” so to speak and condemn the person rather than learn and grow as people. Many, many people in the Bible had depression/anxiety…. Jesus sweat drops of blood from anguish. 70% of pastors on a survey my pastor talked about suffer with depression/anxiety at some point or points .
The Father loves you, and you're right in the centre of His heart, He will never reject you....bless you.
Hi Debbie just saw your post. That is sad. You continue to fight on my sister. God sees you and he knows your struggle.🙏🏽
I am so glad I found out that having anxiety/depression/panic attacks doesn't mean I'm not a Christian or because I did something wrong. All the horrible things I went through doesn't mean I'm getting punished. It'll all make sense in the end.
Thank you for saying that. Thank you for watching. Prayers friend.
Blessings to you!!!!!!! You are not alone dear one.
ikr!! I can't stand christians who say these things!! I stayed away from others because this is all they said to me and that I did something wrong for my parents to treat me the way they did
Just found your channel. I'm 66 worked as a nurse for about 45 years. I'm single and have suffered most of my life from horrendous lonliness feeling isolated and NO support from family. Also suffer from chronic insomnia. My hair has thinned really badly which is adding to my distress.
Only for my faith I would be a chronic alcoholic.
God bless💞
I
Praying for you friend!!! But God…. Love that.
Adding prayers as well-feeling you sister.
Try to find a easier work place or work part time or change career and take a sabbatical to renew your life
If you are still doing traditional nursing please look into something less like being a nurse for an insurance company and working from home. A school nurse. A practice manager where they want someone that has a rn license. I'm almost 40 and I understand your loneliness sister
This is by far the realest faith based mental health video I’ve seen. I’ve searched and no one’s vulnerable like this. Thank you
Thank you for that. It’s my real life. Parts I’m proud of and parts I’m not. I’m human and make mistakes but my focus is on being Gods hands and feet and helping people who are struggling with mental illness.
Thank you for saying I didn't deserve to endure the pain of depression. I feel God guiding me tonight to listen to other Christians share their struggles. And I'm trying so hard despite how I feel
I’m sorry you are struggling. Yes, God is guiding you and walking you thru how to get better. Lean on God friend. He will carry you. Replace on the crap thoughts with Gods word over and over.
There is a saying, "It is no sign of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick system." In the series The Chosen, there is a dialogue between "Little" James and Jesus. And Jesus tells James, when James asks Jesus why He hasn't/doesn't heal him. And Jesus' response was "because I trust you to keep your faith even though you have not been healed, and that this confession of faith is so much more powerful than someone with faith because they were healed." That really moved me (to tears). Depression and anxiety are appropriate responses to living in this evil world system, especially when you care deeply about God and His people! Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability...so healing❤❤❤
That’s a great response. Thank you for watching and sharing some healing words.
Thank you, Sister. I needed to hear this. I've been struggling with depression for decades. When I wasn't walking with the Lord, it was bad. I'm walking with the Lord, been baptized, pray and read the Bible everyday, trust and obey as much as poasible;I'm grateful, and know I'm forgiven, but still have bouts of depression. I've come to accept it for whoI am. I just continue to trust and obey, and live in hope and expectation that God has a plan and a purpose for my life and that everything is going to be okay because I walk in the Light and God's got me. He will never leave me nor forsake me. ❤
Same sis. I’ve been a Christian as long as I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety. .. I still have bad days, I do talk some about them in a couple videos but the bad days are better and shorter than they used to be. I start fighting early in the fight and come back to my “normal” sooner. That’s complete opposite of what it used to be. I was convinced bad periods would keep coming and be longer and harder than before.
We seem to be very similar. Praying for you.
Amen
I suffer from psychoses, anxiety, ADHD, autism , I'm mentally unwell my psychoses symptoms playing up and I'm viewing everything around me as negative I stay in my room because I don't know what else to do with myself I'm mentally suffering it's horrible and scary
It is undeniable a horrible experience and that’s phrasing it as nicely as I can phrase it. I am praying for you right now. God is right there with you friend. Holding and protecting you. Give yourself some time. Do what makes you feel ok/safe/stable. Play a song, watch a show, do something, anything that makes you smile even for a second. Give yourself grace to deal with what you are dealing with and know you are NOT alone friend. My heart hurts for you BUT GOD.
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been struggling with deep depression and as a Christian I feel like I’m missing something from God as Satan is trying to keep me living in my past. Psalm 103 helps me and please pray for me as well.
Thank you friend for sharing and yes, I will be praying for you. Satan likes to keep us in the past so we never reach the future God has for us.
Thank you so much sister. I really needed to hear this. I've been battling anxiety and depression, since may 2022 when i first got sick with c...id, and last year i got sick with it it again, i was in a coma for almost three days but the Most High came to my rescue, like He always does. Without Him, His grace, mercy and kindness i wouldn't be here. I got bad panic attacks since last year and i was wondering, what is wrong with me ? You know, where's the peace, the joy that a christian's life should be filled with ? I see now that it's slowly getting better,i'm much better, i don't have the attacks that i used to have and it's happening more rarely. I am so grateful that despite all the noisy voices of the enemy , trying to convince me otherwise , i realize that God is always with me, no matter what i might be going through and i trust the promises in His Word, walking by faith, no matter how things look like, or feel like. I am so happy that i "bumped" into your channel. God bless you sister, thank you so much , your testimony is giving me hope ❤
@@Alinawarrior4Yah I’m so sorry about all the things you have been going thru BUT God!!!! You are doing it one day at a time. And yes, God is always with us and that is perfect that you are replacing bad thoughts with good ones and fighting back against the devil. So proud of you!!! Praying you get stronger every day!!!
I needed this. I just started my journey with getting right with God and always had the impression that mental illness was basically as bad as sin.
Note: I will never comprehend how with our brain being the other major organ in our body, how people think we can’t possibly have issues with. If we can have physical complications with it, we can have mental ones too. There is a reason he said “lean not on your understanding for i will direct your path”.
Praying for you friend. Keeping leaning on God and he will walk you through.
Mental illness IS NO SIN! Godbless you don't worry about that sometimes its just passed down from parents like mine was unfortunately 😔
Thank you I also go through this & every day I feel different than others but I know I’m very empathetic to others & highly sensitive to a fault I am a Christian & know GOD has brought me threw my days! I loved this video ❤
Thank you friend!!! Praying for you!!
Hi I am getting attacks from the devil. I keep hearing ‘roar, gr, muhaha’ in my mind. Please pray for the devil to be removed from me forever and to never come back. It would mean the world to me if the devil is gone from me forever. God bless you all on here abundantly.
Praying for you friend!!! Keep replacing that thought with Godly thoughts… repetitively if needed.
Hru now luv?
Spiritual warefare.. I believe..
Thank you for your message. I too suffer from anxiety. I have for 40 yrs. I know that I have gotten thru it because of the Lord and His love for me. I constantly talk to Him. Thank you for your bravery to speak out about this subject. Good bless you.🙏✝️
Thank you for saying that. It is very much appreciated.
I am thankful for your message and for speaking up about your mental health alongside your faith. ❤
I also have major depressive disorder, anxiety and am on the autism spectrum and i am a christian.
God has been my strength, my hiding place through the storms in my life and He is the reason i am stronger and where i am today.
He is my everything ❤i am thankful for His hand on my life 🙏🏻
Thank you friend and prayers for you as well. Yes, I could not make it if not for God.
I had severe, suicidal depression due to five foods I was eating. As long as I avoided them I was fine. If I slipped it was three days of severe depression. One day I went to the doc and told him I needed antibiotics for a suspected sinus infection. I was totally breathless. Yes, antibiotics screw up your gut but I had no choice. The breathlessness left in a day, the sinuses took a bit longer. I knew somehow I could eat whatever I wanted and surely enough, I haven't had depression since. For me it was bad gut bacteria. Out of 1 to a 10, it was a 100. It was horrific.
Oh wow!!! Yes, I agree. Food/gut can be a big factor. So glad you are better!!!
What food did u eat?
I truly cannot thank you enough. I am in a bad place and I needed some spiritual guidance as a Christian from someone who understands. I believe this is your purpose, because there must be so many like me who find this video. May God bless you always xxx
Thank you so much for that. Truly you all will never understand what you all mean to me. I’m so sorry you are in a bad place. Praying for you friend.

Many Protestant Churches don't want to deal with it. There are ministers like Rick Warren, Dr. David Jeremiah, and others understand that anxiety, depression, fear, panic, worry are not sins. Mental issues can be genetic, brain chemistry or past trauma. Your examples from the Bible are exactly correct. Typically, larger evangelical churches are open to the need for counseling and medication. Don't be upset by those who lack knowledge and wisdom about these issues. The Lord bless you.
Thank you friend!!! Very much appreciated!!
Hi my dear sister in Christ
I am.a Christian..love the Lord with all my heart.
Struggling with depression and Anxiety.
Waiting fr Doctors confirmation.
My husband
Keeps on drumming it into me
That I must pray and have faith.
Really difficult
When you have all this emotions going on
Thank you
I’m so sorry you are struggling. Praying it gets better soon. Prayers and faith do help but sometimes God doesn’t give us a cure ( right away or maybe never ). What I can tell you is God loves you so, so much and He is with you always. Study, read, listen to His word. Focus on God and not what other’s opinion of what you are going thru are.
It is hard for people who have never dealt with mental illness to understand. They just want you to get better and sometimes say things that sting without meaning to. When you have no knowledge of something it’s hard to speak on it and almost impossible to understand/have compassion/put yourself in their shoes.
Depression is real & you can’t just get over it like people think. Until they battle it, they have no idea.
One of the big things I battle, besides really wanting to be in heaven w/ God all the time, instead of here, is that I'm a bad witness because I've been depressed so long.
Same. I’ve struggled with that for 27 years. Finally, and I’m still very much a work in progress, I’m being to see/feel/believe that God loves me just as the next person. I’ve said before I feel like some times the mold broke when I was made and while He loves me, He is up there saying whew and shaking his head. He sees our hearts tho friend. He sees thru us and sees what is in us.
I wasn’t sure for a long, long time why God didn’t just bring me home. We all have a purpose. Our individual purpose here on this earth. There is literally no telling all the things you have done that have made a difference for someone. Even when we don’t see those things. It’s a smile at someone, holding the door, saying hello. When you feel not seen those things can make all the difference.
You are definitely stronger than you think... you're wonderful...
Well I don’t know about that haha. Thank you for saying that. I still struggle to see/believe the good in me. It’s so easy to see it in others tho. Demon I’m still battling.
@@strongereveryday8905 god won't let go of you sister in Christ amen ✝️✝️✝️👍✝️
Thank you so much for making this channel. It has inspired me. I suffer from anxiety (also ocd) and it just helps to have someone to relate to
Thank you friend!!!
Hi thank you so much for this video . I just had someone tell me it's only suppose to happen in seasons but they are suppose to be healed and if not something's wrong. But I have schizophrenia and and I suffered for years . But I have tried seeking god through this I had such dark days but he just keeps getting me back up to again
When I have felt so broken it's only by the grace of god that I can smile through the kinds of sufferings I have had to walk through .
YES. God and God alone have gotten me thru many hard times. I’ve said repeatedly that if it not for God, I would not be here anymore. People tend to judge what they haven’t dealt with. Mental illness is a big one that gets judged harshly.
I can’t promise the dark days will stop BUT GOD. The best thing I have found is to study my Bible and pray. The more I study the more I understand Gods word and the more people’s opinions seem to bounce off me… not all the time haha… as I’m sure you know once I have seen/heard/felt something it goes on repeat in my mind BUT GOD.. it’s getting better. It’s been a 28 plus year battle for me friend… and I have zero doubts God can and will heal us… it may or may not be on this side of Heaven but as long as I am alive I’m going to draw closer to God each day.
@@strongereveryday8905 well spoken
We the children of god who can understand how the suffering feels
Can be the voice to hurting people in the world to help them with these kinds of words they need to hear in thier lives that may feel hopeless or judged. but
God can use our story to help others who are broken and use us to bring people to christ and demonstrate god's love .
It's not all what it looks out to be so terrible. Yes mental illness is so hard and many dark days of depression but I know god can use the bad and turn it for the good to show others we can get up and believe he is our god worship him through the darkest days . Some days I didn't even want to get out of bed it got so dark .
And it's hard to open up out there and tell others what your going though because fear that they will judge that maybe it's a faith issue or maybe your not really saved . But I know I believe and god can use me to be a voice for his kingdom even if times are horrible or good for me in that moment .
Here are two other amazing helpful videos that helped me on this subject
The first video on you tube is called does god always heal? By melissa dougherty.
The second video is called does god promise us divine healing ? By the beat allen parr.
It also help alot with this .
Someone told me yesterday that it's only suppose to happen in seasons not forever .
I am so grateful to have found your channel! I also am a Christian woman, who deals with Bipolar 2 & PTSD + Anxiety, thanks so much for your support & inspiration & example! I look forward to more videos! ❤️💐🙏💯👍
Thank you for that. It’s is so much appreciated. Praying for you.
God bless you!! I have bi polor disorder type 2 and it's HELL! I feel for you truly!
Thank you for making these videos ! They are helpful, I wonder if there’s anyone else out there who struggle with social anxiety due to a physical disability, in my case it’s a facial issue due to a surgery I had back in 2017 and it’s affected my bone structure and makes me so self conscious, it’s frustrating and hurts that I can’t get over the fear of taking part of more family events and be more social, it’s exhausting and hurts,
Thank you friend!! Oh I’m sure there are many, many people struggling with the same. You are not alone friend. That’s the devil lying to us… we are the only ones etc… all the crap he tells us.
I had an accident a couple years ago and my left eyebrow is lower than the right one now. I am self conscious about it. To me, it stands out so much. Most people don’t notice ( or don’t say if they do ) but in my mind it’s on repeat.
Thank you so much for your message ❤
Thank you for saying that. It really pushes me thru some days. Much appreciated.
So glade I found this channel. Bless your heart for making videos and sharing

Awesome video, this should defo be talked about more often!
Thank you. It’s hard to talk about. It was hard… getting easier.
Your Dog is right there behind you may God Always Bless You
@@maryt9704 Thank you. We have 8 dogs haha. I typically have at least 4 of them with me on the couch while I’m filming. My babies.
Thankyou for yr channel, 💓 so encouraging .....still a stigma attached to mental health issues.... God is close to the broken heart,the depressed, the anxious...
Truth!!! Thank you for your kind words. And yes, still a stigma.
Thank you for this video ❤
Th am you friend!!
Thank you for giving me a place to feel these things in safety and hear the word of God. I needed that tonight.
Thank you for those kind words. Y’all we’ll probably never understand how much you all mean to me.
I went to a ministry that said it was ALL demons. I was abused, neglected etc as a kid, plus SMI runs in my family. Sometimes the body hurts it’s own self. Ppl w fear and Cptsd don’t really need to hear about demons. I know v few ppl healed from SMI. I know many ppl delivered from addiction. I wish I could be healed but I’ve tried everything. Tough to go to church. Tough to get out of bed let alone have a ministry. Every deliverance ministry told me I’m going to hell for taking meds.
I get it. I suffered ( and that isn’t an accurate description ) with major depression disorder and anxiety for 27 plus years. I was full convinced that nothing would help, things would never get better, I was always going to be like this… but things did change… finally. I quit letting the devil put 1,000’s of bull crap thoughts in my head. All that it’s always going to be like this, never going to get better, I’ve tried it all and nothing works, might as well phone it in. Instead I started diving deep into Gods word and hearing the truths about me. I am loved, wanted, needed, precious in His eyes, a child of God who knows every single tear I’ve cried and despite all my actions/sins/etc loves me with every single ounce of Him. Never left my side and in fact carried me most of that 27 years with no help from me. He never stopped caring and loving me.
Can every single person no matter the mental illness be healed… I’ll be honest… I’m not sure but I think a very large % can be and with God nothing is impossible. I am living proof of that.
As far as going to hell for taking meds, I guess every single person on earth is bc we all take meds for something even if it is just for a headache. You are either pro meds or against ALL meds. Picking and choosing is man’s pride and judgement.
@@strongereveryday8905 yes, knowing our identity in Christ helped me tons. Forgiving others and myself helps too. But I’m almost 60. 45 years w SMI. Just grateful for salvation. Have a nice day
I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your walk. It is comforting and I will be lifting you up in prayer.
Thank you!!
❤
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you!!
Well said. Honest and sincere, thanks
Thank you for that. It’s hard to let others see your heart via a video and a short one at that. There’s so much to say and talk about.
I just found your channel.
Thank you, sister. God bless you.
Thank you friend!!
Your doing an awesome thing praise the lord ❤🙏what your saying is truth amen 🙏
Thank you so much friend!!
Yes!
Thank You 😊 😢❤
The thing I've learned being a Christian and having mental illness like anxiety and depression and intrusive thoughts is since Jesus, I've learned to accept that it's something that happens to me, not that it is my identity. I am a child of God but in a fallen, imperfect body, not to mention the years upon years I was deceived by the world and got a pretty heavy mental and emotional beating and living in open rebellion to God. (ex-lgbt) I was always passively suicidal. But God has changed my life. I truly and wholly believe I am in the process of sanctification, a renewing of mind now that is dependent and ever leaning to the One who created me. The attacks still happen, and I continually pray for it to be over one day, but for now, God knows best, and I know His grace and mercy is sufficient for the day. 🙏
That’s a good outlook… I like that… accepting it is just something that happens not my identity. God is good!!! BUT GOD!! Praying for you friend.
Thank you for sharing. I can relate to pastors saying things that are really hurtful and out of alignment with God's word. Sadly the church as a whole has missed a few things and misunderstood mental illness, but the narrative is changing- as we continue to speak up. I share my testimony of complete healing from bipolar disorder as well as the issues you mentioned on my channel and in my book. Keep sharing and granting hope to those who need it!
Thank you friend!!!
GOD BLESS YOU SISTER-I SUFFER FROM THESE SAME ISSUES--PRAISE GOD FOR HIS GRACE--HE FORGIVES ME OVER AND OVER--HIS MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING-THANK GOODNESS--I HAVE SUFFERED WITH MENTAL ILLNESS ALL MY LIFE-BEEN SAVED SINCE I WAS 11- AND NOW IM 62--IM STILL SAVED AND I STILL SUFFER WITH MENTAL ILLNESS--SO GOD BLESS YOU MY SISTER--THANK YOU LORD JESUS -THATS YOU CARRY US ALL THE TIME AMEN!😊😊😊😊
Thank you. Prayers going up. Look how strong you are to fight all this time.
Please pray for me I have had bipolar 2 with psychotic features and caused me to question my salvation.I feel His presence at church and get happy while I feel Him I don’t feel Him when I’m all alone.I just want to be close to God and go to Heaven.
Praying for you friend!! I’ve been where you are, millions have. Hold tight. God is always by your side even when you don’t feel Him. I completely understand wanting to just be with God and “go home”.
@@strongereveryday8905I was born again and seriously got tricked back. I didn't mean this and yes I had depression and was laughed at. I want God the HOLY GHOST back and never should have went back to destruction and FLESH. I REGRET THIS.
Thank you.
Thank you!!
Thank you for this I am a true believer in Jesus Christ but I deal with survivor guilt PTSD I am a retired law enforcement and army veteran that saw a lot of action, but God is yet in control praise God. It's alright to get professional help as well. Thank you my sister in Christ amen 🙏🏽
Praying for you friend. THANK YOU for your service in both!!!!!
I suffer from emotional detachment which makes me feel disconnected from everyone, everything even God
Praying for you friend. Understand this, God never leaves you… even when you can’t feel Him He is always with you. Even when you turn from Him… He never walks away.
Iam just so thankful, at times, feels very alone in the church, you can feel less than a person, something must be wrong... even so we are In Christ JESUS and covered by His precious blood...
Yes!!! And you are correct. It’s very lonely at times. We need a better understanding in the church about mental health
🙏 Respect I like your inner power of teaching Gospel of God ❤
And your are Serious ✅
Thank you. It is truly appreciated.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you
Thank you for that!!
thank you
"Where are you god , he is carrying me "
God bless you love
Thank you friend.
I truly believe even though I sin that I would not be here today If it wasnt from God
Same!! Same here. So true
❤❤❤
Thankyou for Your Honesty !!!
We sure Need Each Other!!!
Thank you!!! Yes, we sure do
I am four months into a severe Major depression, my fourth major one, with lesser periods as well. The Lord is the only reason I am alive. We will never know why this side of heaven. Each night I thank Him for carrying me through another day. I am fortunate to have a supportive pastor and church. Do you mind sharing what church you attend?
I’m so sorry friend. My heart breaks hearing your story. We are 2 peas in a pod. Only God. For certain He is the only reason I am still here. We attend Life Church.
I know this is six months old, but I’m glad I found it. I just picked myself up out of a puddle of tears after BAWLING for two hours.
Everything is hauntingly, dismal and almost hopeless. But, you’re absolutely correct. Jesus did experience depression. It just wasn’t called that back then. As you said, He asked Father God if it was His will, let the cup be passed from Him.
Nevertheless… He went willingly. When you said all sinners - past, present and future… That really hit me.
FYI: Do you know what the shortest line of scripture in the Bible is?
Jesus wept.
Isn’t that simply heartbreaking for someone that was 100% innocent/never sinned? 💔
I love my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ I have believed in Jesus, since I was 5 years old. I went from being a very outgoing and happy person…helped people all the time… giving money, not expecting it back..,and I was always positive. A couple people called me “silver lining girl”.
Now… I feel SO low, that I guess, as a Christian… THIS must be rock-bottom. Why do I say that? As a Christian, I would never take my
own.li fe. I want to be with the Lord. So, we undoubtedly know that certain things are off-limits. Only thing I can say is… I sincerely understand why some people do it .
We really aren’t here for very long when you think about it. But, eternity in hell? No, thank you. I could pass tomorrow or I could live another 40 years! I’m 59. I don’t wanna even think about 40 more years of this feeling - who! If that with the Lord has Store for me… I have no choice. at least until I can find the solution for me. I would think everyone is different, as far as that goes.
I always told myself, “after all Jesus has done for me…for all of us… I can suffer a while for Him. It’s the least I can do”!!
But! Because I know Him… there is no way He would want one of his children feeling like this for almost 14 years.” That’s not possible!!
I have been seeking an answer for a long time and have tried so many things… But, they just didn’t work.
I’ve been honest with Jesus, so I’ll be honest with anybody reading this… After 14 years… You can barely find this strength to do the tiniest tasks. I rarely leave my home. I’m always exhausted. Absolutely nothing makes me happy anymore. And I just found out that all the chronic pain, arthritis, and other things? Those can manifest with MDD.
If I did not have a relationship with Jesus Christ, I would be gone. And I would’ve been the one who made that happen. But, since I Do have Him… I suffer … I’ve just gotten to the point where I don’t know what to do anymore - because I barely take it any longer…I can barely function.
My mom turned 80 today! When I lose her someday, it will be a slippery slope and a very treacherous time.
I also realize that Jesus never abandoned me. When I’m barely hanging on, He’s actually carrying me. That I know to be true. But, I also know that He does NOT want this for me… or ANY of His children, for that matter!
So, after trying everything I can think of… I’m now searching for the “why“. Maybe if I understood better, I may feel a little bit better - even a tiny bit would be like a refreshing drink of water after two days in the desert…
Thank you to anyone that may have taken the time to read this. I am just a nobody among billions. Importance is being a child. of God - and I pray He blesses you 💜 🕊️ ✨
EDIT: You sound JUST like me. (I commented before I watched it all). Please stay away from JM…false teacher, sister. It will only confuse you and make it worse - I’m sure. Hopefully JM will repent.
Also, you are blessed that you have “breaks” from this. You said it comes in cycles. Mine is constant. Day and night. 😞
Hey friend. Thank you for your comments. It’s so refreshing to talk to others going thru a the same thing we are. It was 27 plus years for me. Wondering how I could keep going and 100% honesty… not wanting to keep going. Wishing God would bring me home. I tried many, many things and was past tired, past exhausted. Always wondering why I was this way and when would it end. June of 2022 God told me my calling was to help others walk thru what I was walking thru. I dove deep into studying my Bible, working on my mind, praying, I changed my priorities. It has made a huge difference for the first time in my life. Not every day is rainbows and sunshine but I feel God carrying me thru and His anointing on me. I talk to God all day long.
Many, many of us have been and are right where you are sis. I wish there was a perfect phrase I could say to make it all go away but I can’t. What I know is I’m not ashamed anymore and I love helping others dealing with what we deal with. We aren’t alone. Praying for things to shift for you. Keep moving forward one mm at a time. I know it’s way easier said than done. Believe me… I know. Give yourself grace when you need it and learn when you need to rest or push thru.
Hi, I'm currently struggling with depression snd ocd, pls pray for me. I know the Lord can do it.
I’m so sorry you are struggling. I know words tend to lack meaning when we are depressed but you are correct, God is good and He can do anything and everything. Praying for you. Allow yourself to process what’s going on and give yourself grace and time then keep moving forward.
@@strongereveryday8905 thank u so much for your words I really appreciate them. God bless u 💖
Deliverneace from depression thanks to Jesus, God, holy spirit
Peace ❤
Spiritual WARFARE!
Me too! 😢i thought i was alone !
You’re not alone friend!!
@strongereveryday8905 thank you so much!
I feel for you, I can see you are so trying to not show how ill you are. Looking at you I see me. I understand & agree, God is there with you, with me, with everyone if God is invited into our hearts & homes. I do ask, Why God are you letting me struggle with my brain. I wish God would help me, why is he not, does anyone know? I have pulled away from my partner, friends, I feel I am detached from everyone & everything. Please take good care of yourself & your lovely animals. ❤
Thank you friend. I’m so sorry you are struggling. I asked myself why God for years. 27 years. Finally He answered me and told me to help others with the same thing I am going through. Depression gets you to that point of detaching. Some do it bc we want to be alone, some bc we don’t want others to see our pain, some bc we don’t want our pain to affect others. Several other reasons as well. Praying for you.
I have CPTSD, agoraphobia, and sensory problems that i cant handle loud noise 2 tvs on at once... i never got help but im seeing a cyciatrist in 2 weeks. 😭
You are going thru a lot and words from me aren’t going to make it much better. You got this sis. One second at a time. Literally, that is where I have been for 7 weeks now. I second at a time. Lean hard into prayer/studying. If that’s too much listen to uplifting music or watch a show that makes you relax, laugh, whatever you need. Praying for you and I hope things change quickly for you.
Being a Christian seems to make this worse if that makes sense. I know i should be better but i feel stuck in a hole that i cannot escape from. I feel like i have no strength left to fight. I don't know what to do. I can barely pray anymore.
I’ve been there friend. Done, past tired, past the want to fight, past care, just done. Give yourself a little grace. The devil is coming at your hard and that is for a reason friend… something good is coming. Take it one second at a time.
I’ve felt the worse when your a Christian side of things on 2 points. 1, judge by myself and others for not being “strong enough” to pull myself up and 2, feeling like everything I heard ( sermons ) was directly at me. I saw my weakness. What I can tell you for sure is God has you in His arms right now. Let Him carry you for a second. Give yourself grace. You’re a child of God. No one is perfect.
@@strongereveryday8905 so what do I do? I appreciate all you said but it doesn't answer what do I do? Physically, what do I do? It's so dark here.
@@user-gg8cb8oh2d What I do when I’m in that place is I attempt to rest, I attempt to study Gods word ( most of the time I just listen to a video teaching or repeat Jesus over and over ), I allow myself grace to feel what I’m feeling understanding I’m not alone. All of this is relative bc let’s be honest, when your in that place, ANY task is a lot. Fight back ( and yes, I know your past wanting to fight ). Do anything and everything you can to make yourself feel better. Maybe it’s small like a cool rag on your face, shower, light a candle, watch a movie that usually makes you laugh.
Understand where you are is the exact same place millions of people are or have been, fight not to isolate yourself bc then the only voice you here is the devil and he does nothing but lie to us.
Right now, your fighting wether you see that or not… fight to help yourself. You are worthy friend. YOU are worthy.
Talk to a counselor, friend, anyone that can give you Godly advice. Pray even it the only thing you can say is God help me.
If you can make yourself, walk to the mailbox, take a shower/bath, read, watch something funny, anything that makes you laugh/smile/feel calm.
I take Klonopin for my anxiety. God gave mankind the brains to invent this medicine. If God didn’t want this medicine to be used then it wouldn’t work for people
Yep yep!!!
Thank you! I have gone this same thing. I am not wanted in a lot of churches. Or should I say people just don’t wont speak to me.
I’m so sorry you are going thru this. God loves you, people will fail you but God never does. Praying for you!!!
I also confided in people in church and also thought i could be support to people and we could help each other but didnt get support i left church felt i didnt fit i am 63.married with no.kids
I consulted a spiritist and was abused by him but when I realized it was all a spiritist and not a leader I detached myself from him and then depression and anxiety came over I am still battling with panick attacks almost everyday and I feel like I am loosing my weight everyday but I still believe that my Jesus is going to come through for me and he will save me even though I may have sinned knowingly or unknowingly he is going to wash away all my sins and make me clean..
If your a child of God and asked forgives, your sins are no more. The guilty you feel is the devil playing with your mind. God no longer remembers the sins we ask forgiveness from. Praying for you friend. Hang in there. Spend time with God daily. You will see the truth.
Thank you for the encouragement it means a lot 🥰❤️
Pray scripture over anxiety
im going through alot aswell with depression anxiety passive suicidal ideation and pregnant worst is im alone didnt get any support from anyone
I am so sorry you are dealing with so much. Lean into God. Depend on Him. God is THE only one that has never let me down… no matter how far in the pit I was. People let us down. Most of the time I truly believe they don’t mean to do it but it happens. I’ve said before, words often don’t meet that need we have in our hearts/souls when we are struggling BUT GOD. I know where you are at ( minus the pregnancies ). Take one second at a time. Stop all the crap thoughts and replace with good ones. Even if all you can do is repeat Jesus over and over ( and I have ) to fight off the bad thoughts. The devil is attacking you for a reason… something great is coming sis… keep going. He is trying to divert you from what God has planned. You’re going to fight anyways… fight to be healthier mentally. Praying for you. You CAN make it.
❤❤❤love you too. God is love, He who do not know love do not know God as well.
Thank you!!
LIKE PAUL, IT SEEMS DEPRESSION/ANXIETY IS YOUR 'thorn in the flesh..' JUST LOOK HOW MUCH YAH USED HIM. YOU WERE BORN TO LOVE AND SERVE YAH WITH WHAT YOU ARE GIVEN, YOUR CONDITION IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN WHETHER MAN THINKS SO OR NOT. WHY? CONSIDER THIS. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9 Berean Standard Bible
But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.
Thank you friend. After almost 28 years, I see that now. I feel blessed He called me to speak up, study, learn, and talk about it.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOUR CHANNEL TO MY WIFE. YAH CAN REALLY USE YOU WHERE YOUR AT AND AS YOU ARE. I TELL MYSELF WHEN FEELING DEPRESSED OR ANXIOUS, 'MY MOODS MAY FLUCTUATE, BUT YAH DOES NOT. HE IS THE SAME NO MATTER HOW I FEEL OR HOW LOW I GET PAY NO ATTENTION TO INSULT OR REJECTION BECAUSE OF YOUR CONDITION. YAH SAYS, 1 Corinthians 1:27 New King James Version But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty;
You can get deliverance from depression and anxiety !!!
Yep. It can happen.

I totally agree with you that there is nothing wrong with being depressed. Receiving the gift of no condemnation is the beginning of healing. Now, I want to encourage you to not just stop there. Any kind of sickness and diseases is part of the curse (Deuteronomy 28:59-61). And you know what the good news is? By hanging on the tree, Jesus has redeemed us from the curse of law (Galatians 3:13).
You mentioned about how Jesus became so anguished at Gethsemane. Do not see that as, "Even Jesus Himself had mental breakdown, therefore it is alright for me to experience it too." Instead, see that as Jesus taking YOUR anxiety and depression upon His own body, so you no longer have to suffer them. Matthew 8:17 declares, "He Himself took our illnesses and carried away our diseases."
From now on, stop praying begging prayers and start giving thanks. Let's thank our Savior incessantly for the perfect work that He has accomplished at the cross, not only for the forgiveness of our sin, but also for the redemption from every curse of the law; one of which is sickness. Keep actively possessing your blood-bought inheritance in Christ. You are greatly blessed, highly favored, and deeply loved.
Thank you friend. God is so, so good to us. His love is never ending.
You mentioned 'Joyce Meyer' in your video. I would like to suggest her 'book of scripture quotations' to quote out loud, as a starting place for healing. As we know the Word of God is alive and powerful!! I have experienced great results in mine and my family members lives, from continual meditation on and confession of, the Word of God!! (..I made my own list of Gods good Word from the King James Bible version. You don"t even have to buy a another book unless you want something already compiled for you.) My understanding of depression is that it is 'more than just normal expected feelings of sadness over certain life events' . But it is unusually deep and ongoing, or reoccurring, and sometimes seems to be unexplainable. It seems it is most always linked to life traumas that are still unhealed; whether identified or still unidentified. Due to this; many times wounds and certain patterns of thinking and perceiving get strongholds in ones basic belief systems. The Word of God can begin the process of renewing those old thoughts and beliefs, to healthier, and more functional ones. (..Thus, "being renewed in the spirit of your mind..") And therefore helping one to see and perceive their lives more in the light of the truth of God's Word. This inevitably has a freeing effect. And surely this is what we all want, as an end result. As we know, our loving Lord Jesus came to set the captives free"" "He is the Lord our healer" And freedom and healing are always his desire for us. He is the Father of all mercy and the God of all compassion. "He sent his Word and healed us." Let us seek to lean into the precious Word of God, and find his wondrous words of life, are powerfully healing still...All my love in Christ beloved..
I believe a lot of our trauma is due to genetics and programming and/or both...my mother was hospitalized for severe depression...the Holy Spirit also revealed to me the years of emotional abuse from my alcoholic father was keeping me in a depressed state of mind as well...
Paul gloried in his weakness (his infirmity, his thorn) because he knew God's power is made perfect in weakness...it forces us to be dependent on our Father as a child is dependent on a parent

Can I talk to my mom that I lost in October 25th last year
What about being a Christian with ADHD, which contains all of that?
I can’t speak intellectually about ADHD as I don’t suffer from that particular disease. What I can say is I would imagine it has similar aspects of depression/anxiety/etc. What I know is that God is always with us and always loves us. He carries us thru hard times. What I can say as tho He hasn’t healed me from depression and anxiety after 28 years He has walked me thru every single day of my life and I believe He can heal me from this if He choices… at the same time, my healing might not come til I’m in Heaven and as long as I have God, I’m ok with that as well. I hope this makes sense and I hope it helps.
But what is the answer? How do I get relief?
Praying for you friend. There are many, many videos on my channel. Scroll thru and let God nudge you on the right one for you.

Just a small query. Have you lip filler?
Yes ma’am I do. I typically get it once a year to year and a half. My lips are pretty full but over the years I have noticed “the corners” are shrinking in. ( the pink part of the lip is less and less at the corners )
@@strongereveryday8905 it look nice
@@chickedee1085 thank you!!
i had very bad mental health but Jesus Christ has healed me it took a long time after my Demonic horrific possession it gave me severe PTSD when i was physically attacked and fully demonically possessed it was life changing for me' i actually accepted christ during my Demonic Possession in Hospital and Jesus Delivered me from Possession' it takes time to heal but walk with Christ and be sealed with the Holy Spirit and you will be cured from the spirits of Depression and Anxiety and Fear....but as long as we believers are walking in the flesh we will always be in spiritual warfare with ourselves and Demonic Spirits.
Praying for you.
We should all know that Jesus is not the only way - God`s love is for everyone!
I think you meant God is the only way… and He is the only way to Heaven.
I was a Christian with anxiety attacks back in 1986. I had fallen into sin and then I was under the chastening hand of God, because of that, Hebrews chapter 12 taking effect. God proving his holy word true.
I spent 240 hours straight without sleep. 10 days and nights. During the nights I was lay on my bed reading my Bible and pray. Verse by verse God showed me what my problem was, where it came from, and how to get rid of it.... Timothy tells us God is not given us a spirit of fear but a power and of love and of a sound mind. So I asked God, Lord you didn't give me a spirit of fear but I have it.... Why? Satan is a liar and the father of lies. He was a liar from the beginning, there is no truth in him.... So I essentially told Satan to get lost. Do not sit around believing the lives of the devil.
Philippians 4:7 and 8. What's over things are true, pure, just, lovely, of a good report, virtuous and praiseworthy, think on these things
Satan tries to get us to sit around thinking negative thoughts whether they be fearful, jealous, angry, bitter.... Whatever All of those things are us showing God that we will not trust him...
Night number 10..
Proverbs 3 verses 5 and 6. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, lean not under thine own understanding, in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths.
When I read that verse the light came on. I realized I had been trusting in myself and my own abilities. When I put my total faith and trust in God who spoke this universe into existence, those anxiety attacks left.
Most people have depression and anxiety because they're thinking what they Satan wants them to think. When Satan comes against you fight back against him with God's holy word.
You could slap him across the face with Revelation 20:10
He loves that one. If he reminds you of your past, remind him of his future!
Jeremiah 33:3
God has many promises we cast our cares on him for he cares for us. We need to give our problem to the Lord he did not create us to carry that load. But most people want to hold on to it themselves and most people want to dwell on junk in their minds. The mind is our spiritual battlefield. We are to take every thought into captivity and bring it into the obedience of Jesus Christ.
When I had the anxiety attacks my stinking thinking caused my brain to tell my body that it was in trouble. That's the reason anxiety attacks are called fight or flight syndrome. The brain thinks it's in trouble so it tells the body and it starts producing adrenaline.... That adrenaline was not originally there until I had the stinking thinking. So The chemical imbalance that I had was caused by my stinking thinking. Once I got my thinking straight and started trusting God and giving him my problems, that adrenaline stopped being produced..... And I did not have to make pharmaceutical companies rich
So glad you have been healed!!! God is good!!! And yes, a decent portion has to do with our minds and what’s in there. Listening to the crap satan tells us and not being strong enough in God to fight back with His word.
