Hello Beloved,
Do you ever feel so low, that you feel like you are worthless? Do you ever say anything and once it is out of your mouth you feel really bad? Can't take em back.. Have you ever in anger said something and you really meant it but it still came out wrong? Why does it seem like it is always the one person you don't want to hurt , that you end up hurting the most? Have you ever felt friendless? Does your mind wander to a dangerous place when your down? What kind of things do you think about? Do you ever feel helpless?
What causes all of these things to go on in your head? I am still searching to find these answers..
In Proverbs 13: 7 , it says " For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
So, how is your heart thinking? What is the stronghold in your mind? In 2 Corinthians 10: 4-6,
" ( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." So what does all that mean? It means that we should know the Word of God well enough to compare what is in our mind and the mind of God.. We should not exalt any word above the Word of God...
You know all this but when your mind is in this place of feeling so lonely, worthless, or friendless it is hard to remember that we are to say the Word of God out loud.. Sometimes we don't even remember the Word. It is a dark ,nasty, lonely place sometimes in your mind. Everyday is a struggle to hold up your head and go on trying to walk in the light.... Sometimes even when a stranger or someone you know and love tries to lift your mood, it is hard to respond.. I know all this from a personal point of view..
I know too that in the Word of God that we can find a peace that will surpass all understanding. Look at
Philippians 4:7 " And the peace of God which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." We should really , really try to put and keep first in our hearts and minds , Jesus Christ..
Everyday we should pray and ask for guidance. I know it is hard to do but, when that little opening comes in your thinking , just say the name of Jesus , that is opening the door to a healthier mind.. Pray like you believe it is happening right now.
For each and every person who might read this and suffer with this thing called depression I am saying this prayer for you..
Dear Lord Jesus,
For anyone who suffers this depression I pray that they would find peace today in their mind.. I pray for the mind to quite down and peace to fill that space . Lord, I pray that your arms be around them in comfort.. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, for your will to be done. Amen.
I am a fellow suffer in this depression but I refuse to let it keep me from enjoing my life and my time with my Jesus.. God Bless and keep your mind peaceful . vickie
