I have been dealing with major depression for 8 years now although I have been a Christian for far longer than that.
At this point in time I believe God has not "healed" my depression because He has chosen to reveal Himself to me that way. Paul asked the Lord to remove the thorn from his side. He asked three times and three times God said no.Why? Because God said He is strongest in Paul when Paul is his weakest.
This is not to say that God can't heal me or won't heal me but just to say at this moment in my journey depression is one of my "traveling companions".
Of course there will come a day when all will be set right! O what a glorious day that will be!

Dear Roger, You are on my prayer list and my prayer for you is that you would remember that Jesus is with you in your struggles with life. Jesus will walk you through your valley, he does not take them away. You will come out on the other side one day but meanwhile remember that you are loved by a loving Father. Just take each day as they come and thank God for the little joy you experience. Let me know how things go.

Depression is such a horrible thing. I have battled it for many years, and I finally found a medicine that really helped, it is called Pristiq. I was delighted that it took care of the depression, but, then I was stricken with a terrible condition in my muscles where they will not relax, and they spasm much of the day, causing them to pull, especially in the back of the neck and on the left side. And I also have head tremors, and bone spurs in the neck that pop and grind, when my head turns, and now I have developed an allergy that is causing mucous in my nasal passages, which causes me to not be able to breath very well, and this causes me to feel panicky. All of this combined is almost more than I can bear. The drs. have done all they can do, and it barely helps. There are two major treatments that would help, but, the ins. won't pay for them, and I can't afford them. I have posted in every prayer forum that I can find, as some days I feel very desperate. One woman sent me a message on deliverance, and on prayer and fasting. I have tried to do this since I have been sick, but, was not able to continue because I was in such misery. However, I am going to try to do this again, because I can't live this way. This thing is trying to take me out. Please pray for me that I will have the strength to follow thru with this fast, as it is the only alternative that I have. I know that God heals, and it is very hard to know this, and yet need him to move so desperately. I can not take the Pristiq now, because it makes the head tremors worse, and there are a lot of other medicines that help with the pain, but, they too contribute to the tremors. silverwingsto@aol.com
