Aleenah, God is a compassionate God that cares about ALL your trials. He loves you unconditionally. He does not give us His love just so he can take it away. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He loves you more than your human mind can concieve. Trust in Him and follow Him each day and moment by moment I will keep you in my prayers.

Hello Aleenah,
I am so sorry to hear of your depression and I understand that feeling of losing your faith in JESUS; But, 'HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU,' and as I speak to you I listen myself.

I too am in a place where I just can't sense the Presence of the LORD, not even when I am in HIS WORD, during devotions, I cry because I am so convicted for not sensing HIM, because I lived years walking in the Spirit; I got ill and slipped away for the last six years and it's hard for me to get back after so long, but, I still know that nothing can come between GOD'S love for me, HE IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, and FOREVER.

My suggestion to you is to call your Pastor and let him know how much you miss coming to the church, or your Youth Pastor and I am willing to promise you that GOD WILL MAKE A WAY FOR YOU.

It's so awesome to hear of a 14 year old longing for JESUS so much. GOD has great plans for you.

NEVER QUIT ON JESUS BECAUSE HE WILL NEVER QUIT ON YOU!

Love and Peace to you in OUR GLORIOUS SAVIOR,

Karen...><>...

Good thing that our faith is not based on feeling it....our faith is in CHRIST not our feeliings. Christ does love you, whether you feel it or not, God has provided for you, whether you feel it or not. God has redeemed you whether you feel it or not. God tells us to renew our minds not our feelings (Romans 12:1-2). Our feelings are played with by the enemy. It is one of the things that was broken in the FALL. Our feelings LIE to us...our hearts are deceptive. So in order to feel God's love you must be persuaded intellectually that HE is who He says He is and that He did what He said He did. Then when our feelings, especially as women, start to roller coaster.....then we learn to put THEM not GOD in perspective. If you are in need of some counseling from the Biblical perspective, I do that. You are welcome to email me and I will let you know what I do. I work online, via teleconference and in person.

Hi! I would appreciate some help. It's pretty tough to help others when I'm not doing so well myself. I can always listen and knowing this helps.
I'd like to know more about depression and how to handle it. It's seems I swing from being anxious to being depressed and that's not good for me or those I love.
Thanks much. Darleme

I was sick for 10 years - I was on pain killers for all those ten years. I wanted to take my life one morning because of the pain I was going through. I often tried to talk about my pains to God but I felt no one was listening... I was losing faith in Him. In the midst of my predicament... He took away all my pains. I know that He is real. He is there... look for him... you will find Him. He is closer to you than the clothes you wear. My sister... I know for sure that He will find a way out of your depression... He did it to me and I know he can do the same to you.

I have been battling depression for over ten years now, I have been medicated for it and have seen doctors about it. There are a lot of times that I don't feel God is in my life either. But I just pick up a self help book, or the bible and read something. I also recall different people's testimonies about how God has moved in their lives and I think that if he can do if for someone else, then he can do it for me. I know that God has more for my life, and I am determined to fight off depression so that I can live my life up to my full potential

Try to differentiate what you feel from what you think and know. Feelings are things like sad, happy, content. Feelings carry emotional weight. Thinking, however, is based on what you know is real. It is based on evidence. While our feelings vascillate and change constantly, what we know to be true doesn't change that often. Romans 12:1-2 tells us not to be conformed to the pattern of this world (which is all about believing your feelings) but be transformed by the renewing of your MIND not your feelings.

I will pray for you. Have you thought about seeing a doctor for your depression. I think you should talk to your Mom about taking you to the doctor, okay?

In Christ,
Dawn
