        Depression
 
I've been overcome by a huge depression stage in my life and I do not know if I am attacked by Satan, but thoughts of death have come into my mind. I don't know where I'm going or what the point is of everyday life. I don't know where to turn anymore.

Cillie,
I forgot to mention that I only need 7-8 hour of sleep now. I am totally functional and I have more energy and feel better than I did in my twenties! ( I just had my 40th birthday )

God Bless!
Tracey

I will be praying for you. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, I pray for your child. I rebuke the demonic forces that are attacking her in Jesus' mighty name. Father, I come boldy to your throne and specifically request mental healing for Cillie! Thank you and we praise you for the healing! You ARE the great physician! Praise you Jesus!

Cille, I too, suffered with depression since childhood. I have been diagnosed with clinical depression, bi-polar, panic attacks, OCD, ADHD. In 1998, my immune system crashed and I was sick in bed from physical and mental illness for 16-18 hours a day. Last fall, October 2002, I was on my last leg, so to speak, I was so sick and tired of not being able to function I cried out to God and totally surrendered ALL to Him. I asked Him specifically to make me the Proverbs 31 woman so that I could take care of my two children and husband like they deserved. My family needed a wife and mother. I so desired to be that woman!

God DID answer my prayer, thank you Jesus! He did not heal me instantaneously. He healed me through a nutritional product that my Pastor gives to his son who has MD. My Pastor's son does not get sick in the sinter time when the colds and flus are going around.
I tried this product, which has a money-back guarantee, right after I prayed that prayer. Let me tell you, I am completely symptom free of all of the above mentioned! I feel "GOOD" for the first time in many, many years!
What the medical community could not do for me in over 25 years, this product has done for me in a matter of weeks!

I am working with my doctor to ween me off all medication. I have gone from 5 RX's to 1 RX and by Decemmber 2003 I will be medication free!

I don't know if I am allowed to mention the products name on this message board so if you have any questions you can e-mail me and I will be happy to answer any questions.

God Bless You!

Hi,
I've been suffering depression just since the summer, but it's been built up on me since I was 5... this summer my boyfriend and I of 4 years broke up. He broke up with me and everything just started falling apart. I went to a counselor 2 times and she wasn't helping... but in those 2 times she helped me realize that this depression of being unloved and left behind without it being my fault or out of my control ties back to my childhood. My ex still cares for me, but he realized that I became so dependent on him and he wanted me to stand on my own with Christ only. I thank him for that because since august I began my walk alone with Christ. I've been a Christian since 1998 and I believe that God wants me to walk with him alone right now because I need him and he needs me. Talk to someone and get help if you are crying.... don't waste any tears on a man except the man who died for you and that's our Lord Jesus Christ. I will be here for anyone because I know what you are going through and I just want to tell you that you are not alone, no matter what you may think inside that you are, but you are not.. surround yourself with Christian friends and please put God first because he has helped me gain some strength. I'm still in the process of gaining more, but if I keep the faith I can be my old self again and have a new birth with the real true love of my life, Christ.

Cillie, ((hugs))..I have suffered from depression since I was 7 years old. It's the hardest thing to live with. You're not being attacked by Satan. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain, sometimes hereditary and sometimes caused by traumatic events, particularly traumatic events in childhood. The thing about depression is that you feel so far away from God, when God is closer than you think. He is protecting you. Hang onto the fact that He has you in the palm of His hand, and is your protector always.
Psalm 23, verse 4: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me".

Dearest Cillie,

We don't know why these things happen to us. I share your pain. I have suffered from depression for over ten years. I almost committed suicide about eight years ago. But God does intervene. Trust Him. If you are suffering a downturn in life, look to Him in faith. Read His word. Rebuke the spirits around you with the Blood of Jesus. If you have suffered with this for some time, if you feel darkness all around, if you have trouble doing things and have seriously considered suicide, GET HELP! There are crisis hotlines and doctors who can help. I believe God gives us miracles that we do not see. Doctors and medicine may be one of those miracles. Seek a Christian counselor, one who believes in God and His word. Know that you have our prayers. Do not delay in dealing with this. Clinical depression is a serious illness -- justlike cancer or any other illness. It is a function of brain chemistry and some of us unfortunately are struck with this awful, debilitating disease. Even a local minister can counsel you. But seek help, and put God first in everything. You are right to seek prayer here, and anywhere you can. And pray Yourself, seekingn His face and His will for you.

Lord, bless Cillie and help her to find the Truth that saves and transforms. We ask in the Blood of Jesus that You rebuke any evil spirits around her. We ask that you strengthen her faith and raise up her gaze to the Heavens. We ask for Your perfect peace and love to so fill her that she fights back. And we ask that if she needs it and it be Your will, that you lead her to a Godly counselor who can help heal her of any sickness within.

Lord, in our darkest hours, let us remember our Lord Jesus, Who looked to you, and say, Thy will be done.

Praise and glory be to You forever and ever.

Let our lips -- and Cillie's lips -- praise You this day and everyday and be counted among your saints.

Thank You Lord for Your love and for Christ, in Whose name we pray, Amen.

Are you suffering from something that could be helped with Prozac or something like that?? maybe for a short while while you get bak on your feet like me?? It is not unheard of to have a chemical imballance that produces what you are talking about, either for a short term or long term... talk to a doctor about it... especially if it has lasted more than 2 or 3 months...

Let me pray anyway...

Dear Lord our comforter... please console chillie in his (her) depression... may he come out of it relativily easily and may you heal chillie from his attack of the devil, wheather chemical or spirital...
May God keep you and bless you AMEN

Father in Jesus Name I ask that you rebuke the spirits of depression and death that are attacking your child. I come against every thought of depression and loose my sister from it in Jesus Name. Father I ask that you let her know how important she is to you, reveal your will for her life to her. Shield her mind from the lies of satan. I ask all this in Jesus Name. Amen
