Depression & Suicide: How To Overcome






There are many people today battling depression and suicidal thoughts on a day to day basis. The weight of the world is on your shoulders, the wells in your eyes have held so many tears that it now leaks when you are least expected. You wear a mask so the world cannot see the pain you endure. You walk around as if you are happy, knowing at any moment you can have a break down. So to avoid these things from happening, you isolate yourself from the world, only coming out if necessary. Your heart has been broken so many times, you just feel like the world is against you.

Allow me to shine some light in your darkness. "Trust in the lord with all thine heart, and lean NOT on thine own understanding" Proverbs 3:5-6 God is telling you to trust not on your own understanding. The first question you need to ask if why would he instruct us do do this? "For my ways are not your ways, nor my thoughts are not your thoughts"Isaiah 55:8. There are plenty things going on in our lives right now, and our human mind cannot seem to understand why they are occurring.

Many of us feel we have not done anything wrong to deserve these unfortunate things. We go crazy trying to find a solution to our problems, feeling that God has not answered our prayers quick enough. And when we run out of options, we fall into that state of depression. The world no longer has color, everything in our path looks dark, and we have no feeling nor emotion towards nothing. We cry ourselves to sleep every night and wish that it could all just be over.

SATAN ONLY COMES AFTER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE GREAT IN GOD'S KINGDOM! He is not coming after someone whom he already has control over. Many of you are being attacked left from right, people have walked out of your life and you can't seem to understand why. That is why he says lean not on your own understanding. Your own understanding will tell you that God does not love you. God's ways will tell you that he requires you to go through certain things in order to birth out his promises for your life.

Depression and suicide is a serious matter, nothing to be played with. You are risking your life when you take these things lightly. God is willing, ready, and able to accept you back into his kingdom. No matter how far you have gone, he is waiting on you to call upon him. He knows the dark thoughts that run through your mind, the things you have no control over. God is ready to step in and fix these issues, but he cant fix them until you call upon him. God never oversteps his boundaries, he gives us the freedom to choose who we will; serve.

It is my prayer that you call out to God today and tell him you no longer want to live the way you are living. Cry out to him and tell him you are afraid, and allow him to take you through his word to show you why you should not be scared.
