Facing Depression: A Christians Point of View
Loading...
Uploaded by 4givennChrist on Mar 13, 2010
Facing reality is realizing that suffering is part of this life even for a Christian! Depression is not a joke it is real and there is treatment and help but depression can only be overcome when we are honest with ourselves!

update: I've discovered one essential element. I still have depression but I no longer am accusing God of being a moral monster. I've found something or it rather found me. I found a man named Brennan Manning here on youtube and he speaks of the incredible unimaginable love of God our Father. The same one who says we are now his chrildren and can and should refer to him as ABBA Father. I've never had a real father in my life. But now I do. It's all legalism without unconditional Agape Love.

@esthersoc where are you when thousands of christians are fleeing for their lives and persecuted unto death. You were really sorry for your self when you really should be thanking God for He did not call you with a calling that He will not prepare and empower you for.

@cmdesign01 No I won't. Instead, I give you this: where were you when the masses (martyrs) were hunted and killed for the cause of Christ, where were you among the millions of women and children who have to dig at rubbish dumps and scraps in search for their daily food or something to sell for some money that they can buy and eat, where were you when children of these poor families were praying to God that they could die because they were so hungry

The Facts About Depressionby MSBeckman51,393 views
you know it's not about wanting to kill myself as much as wanting...no longing for the pain and suffering to stop. i feel horrible as a Christian to say that many days I wake up with no will to keep going or to live...rather "exist' the way I am. I just want to feel better and think clearer and have a stronger body...i don't want to kill myself ...not really I just want things to change for the better ...sigh thanks for responding back to me. it helps

@cmdesign01 I know what you mean. I take comfort in knowing that such people like the prophet Elijah faced his own burn out (1 Kings 19) & actually God was the one who performed the first mental health triage He provides Elijah with rest, food, gives him time 2 vent, purpose/direction & then gives him the truth! Also Job who faced suffering (job 3 I can really relate 2) & so did King David, all these men begged God 2 take their life however God sustained them! Hang in there my friend!

i'm a christian for 26 years and been fighting depression tooth and nail...i used to be an athelete and had my health. Now I don't. Now I am disabled and now depression is the blackest fog I've ever faced. At this very moment I'm planning my death. I'm so tired of hurting and so tired of fighting.. I just don't have it anymore.. PLease dont' write me pious platitudes okay...or tell me Jer 29:11 or Rom 12. MIne is a chemical embalance pretty much...but my physical health is killing me too.

@cmdesign01 I know what you mean about being tired of the struggle this summer I have been on mostly bed rest for other health issues to go along with the bipolar. All Summer I have been pretty much shut in. I am tired of being sick, and I am also like you in the fact that pious platitudes of scripture is no help instead all I can do is wait and dig deeper of course cry and pray, but suicide doesn't get rid of the pain it just places it on the shoulders of those who are left behind.

@cmdesign01 And even if we try to attempt it we may not be successful I know of one woman who did and now she is blind. So that is why I am waiting and praying and holding on because I don't want to increase the suffering for myself or no one else.

Do you mind if I borrow a few of your statements in this video to put into one I'm making for people at my church?
