Bible Question: I am depress. Nothing seem to interest me. Deep in my heart I know God is with me but why am I still struggling ? I dislke this feeling. |
Bible Answer: Greetings supanlee, I know exactly how you feel. I have been there. I have had clinical depression for 11 years now. Many will tell you that it is in your mind, or that you must be doing something wrong, or not praying right, or have a sin in your life that is holding you back, or you don't really believe.... I have heard just about all of them. Ignore them! You sound to me like you do have some depression. I suggest the same as Hank - see professional advise in your town, not on the forum! In addition, I suggest that you go to www.gospelcom.net/cdp/ It is a Christian web site for people seeking information on depression. I highly recommend it. There can be chemical imbalances that result in depression. Next I would like to tell you what someone told me when I was at one of my low points. I felt exactly what you say you feel - nothing seemed to interest me. I, too, knew in my heart that God was with me, but it sure didn't feel like it in my head at times. When you are at your lowest is when Christ does the most work on you. What Christ was doing was taking away all the interests that "self" had and was preparing me for all the things that Christ wanted me to do. Don't struggle, let Him do His work in you. Trust me that once you get to the other side of "the wilderness" you will be able to look back and see what Christ has done in you. First and foremost though is to seek professional help in case these feelings are do to physical reasons. I hope this helps some. Feel free to e me any time you would like.
