Bible Discussion Thread

Suffer from depression and anxiety my entire adult life I've always believed and trusted in God but I feel as though he has given up on me and my faith is slowly dying. I have very few people in my life and I feel as if they also have given up on me. I just need prayers to find my way through my turbulence mind

I can understand you because I feel that way sometimes to but he is always listening even when you think he's not and you just have to hold to your faith in God and trust in him and believe that he can bring you out of what your going through in your life. God Bless all of you may you get help with what your going through and I am praying for you all.

hope my advice helps people.

Monica, first you need to recognize that this is spiritual warfare EPHESIANS 6:12. I know this because the Bible says God will not leave you or forsake you.

The devil is the father of lies and he would love you to accuse God and let go of your faith. Remember for example how satan deceived Eve in the garden.

God is merciful and not willing that any should perish. His mercies are brand new every morning, like the sunrise!

If you have not been living right and are being chastised by the Lord that's a good thing. Repent and renew your relationship with Jesus Christ.

Rebuke the lies of the enemy. He knows that God will never leave you or forsake you. They are lying spirits. Remember that God loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten Son to save us.

Thank and praise Him for that. He's a good good Father who loves you!

Please do not let satan cause you to declare these accusations against the Lord. Ask God to forgive you.

I went through this too awhile back when I was seeking restoration. I had to encourage myself with scripture. God doesn't give up on His children. That contradicts His character. Think about that.

We're living in the last days and we've got to encourage one another to cling to the Lord with everything we've got.

Here are some scriptures to memorize. Write them on index cards and tape them to your cabinets, walls, etc. Keep them in front of your eyes!

Genesis 3:1-4

John 8:44

Deuteronomy 31:6-8

Ephesians 6:12

Hebrews 13:5

Hebrews 4:16

As for anxiety and depression, they are spiritual. Ask God to show you how to defeat them in the spirit. How to overcome. You are not alone most people have battled with these.

Scripture is how Jesus fought the enemy. Remember Ephesians 6:11, put on your armor daily. You must walk in the spirit.

I say these things with much love and to encourage you, my sister in Christ, in Jesus name. You will overcome. Plead the blood of Jesus.

Hi Monica,

I had to reply to your post because your issue was exactly what Pastor Adams, Apostolic Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in Barnesville, Georgia spoke about last night. The topic was ""Pray that my faith doesn't fail." The church post the videos online. It is definitely worth your time to listen to the message. Anway, hard times, discouragement and doubt is trying to pull you away from God. Don't let it. I liked what Sammi wrote to you It was good advice to get through this hard time. I hope you are encouraged by those that care for you here on this forum.

God bless you.

Exodus 14:14 kjv, Psalm 119:50, John 14:6, John 14:18.

Psalms 139

You are missing your God and your Saviour . You must spend more time with them , reading the Bible , saying your prayers , thinking about the things you have read , recognising God in your life , in the world around you , seeing Him , hearing Him . He has never left you and never will . You must return to Him and put more effort into your relationship with Him . Find a church and get your feet back on the right path , don't despair , God is very patient and forgiving , He's waiting for you to return to Him .
