Would someone pray for me. My heart will be so grateful! 68 yr old Grandmother battling severe depression and paralyzing anxiety for 4 yrs! I am so worn down. Thank you! God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are my only hope!
I feel your pain my dear sister. I am 67 and has suffered from depression all my adult life. I was just asking myself, how comes I am a born again Christian who love the Lord with all my heart and I am feeling so low and joyless. Christian are supposed to be filled with Joy, so how come I feel so empty. One thing that has helped me a little is 5HTP, it is a supplement that helps with depression. I wish I could find something to give me a boost. Now I understand why some people turn to drugs to alleviate the pain and suffering. Not that it works in the long run, so definitely not an option for me. Hope you feel better my sister. Please pray for me while I pray for you.

Wonderful message! I love how he says that medicine and doctors are a gift from God rather than something that diverts us and shows a lack of faith. So true.
Good doctors are surely a gift from God, but it would be naive to believe all doctors are good. God bless the ones who fight to heal and help people ❤️

I liked how he emphasized that depression will not go away just because you believe in God. That you will also need people and medicines. That throughout your battle, God sits with you. He is with you. Depression is something most Christians do not get. When people struggle with depression, they simply say go read your bible. Go pray. Those are very helpful. But the reality, depression gets overwhelming at times. It makes people forget about every good thing in life. The good news however, once you put your life in Christ, hope will always find you. You will be like the Psalmist in the passage; up and down but able to end his song with a praise.
Akay Valdez Amen. That has been my struggle. Learning to find my way in Christ and work through this depression. The church definitely don't understand. I've been told to pray and read my bible more, which is great, but the depression is still there. I didn't feel much relief until I got professional help.
I enjoy singing the scriptures and reading and speaking God's word. However, during a recent low period, knowing God is with me and is loving me unconditionally met my deepest need. No words needed.
I have been asked if I have asked the Holy Spirit to fill me. I am not a charismatic and while I know that these are well meaning people, I do not share their belief in the rapture, gifts of the spirit, etc. How can a person relate to others that way while believing they are decieved? I have no church where my views are shared and so feel I cannot speak, and am so depressed I cannot even pray.
@@tanyadebeer4836 we all need to embrace true unity in the body of Christ. We have been redeemed and given new life in Christ. We are called to share His love and Truth with the world. Let's keep our eyes open the bigger picture. We are not ignorant of the enemy's plans to bring division and try to destroy all he can. Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us lift high His Name and rejoice in Him now and always.
I searched for how Christians overcome depression on UA-cam. This is what came up and it did not disappoint. I'm struggling with depression so much right now, and this is exactly what I needed to hear. Wonderful and encouraging message!
A big hug my sister, I'm suffering from that too, your not alone, well get through this together C's jesus hasn't left is, he is with us everyday 🤗🤗😘😘😘
A week ago Sunday, I dragged myself to church after having spent a soul-sucking week of dark depression--depression brought on my the gloom of the weather, the holiday season and a conflict with my daughter and her family over Thanksgiving where I failed in my witness of God love and grace. As I came into my church, I prayed no one would ask me how our trip to our daughter's house went--I knew I couldn't lie and say "ok". Long story short, I couldn't hide the depression and sadness I was feeling and some of my sisters and brothers came up to me--one here and one there--and they just loved me and prayed for me. There were a couple who "preached" a little--it didn't help, but I thanked them because I know they meant well. As the worship went on (I handle the overhead for the lyrics), I stood there just crying. Then God started working on my broken heart and as the worship went on, the pain started to lift. He reminded me of a time when I had a burden for something else and when I shared that burden, the burden was lifted. I got up and testified to the goodness of God--I told them about the depression and said "Yes, I prayed and, yes, I read God's word and, yes, I listened to spiritual music (everyone seems to think that's the "magic" cure for depression--especially people who've never suffered from deep depression), But I thanked God and them that I have this wonderful, loving body of brothers and sisters in Christ who do love me just as I am and who hold me up in prayer. The next week, I didn't suffer from the depression--there was peace and rest in the Lord. A burden shared, is a burden lifted--bearing with one another in love--rejoicing with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn--those help so much. Just please don't judge people with depression--love them, pray for them, hold them--listen to only what God would have you say to them. Blessings!!
As a Pastor's son I've struggled with deep depression ever since my mom passed away in 2015. This message has touched me so deeply in my soul and I am so thankful that God directed me to this sermon!! Please pray for me as I struggle with this disease. Love In Christ, Brian Silver
I am posting above my post of 9 months ago. Thank you to all that prayed with me. My relationship with my Heavenly Father soared, I felt Jesus at my side, and the Holy Spirit just wrapped me in a warm and secure blanket of love. My living situation (which at my age I can't escape) is horrid (emotional abuse). I have slipped right back into the dark pit again. Please pray for me! Your prayers saved me and I am so thankful. I need prayed again. I'm having a hard time taking my Grandson to church. Even the music makes me weep uncontrollably! I thank you for your prayers and if anyone out there needs prayer I would love to pray for you.
@@tylersoto7465 Tyler I just lifted you up in prayer! I have been EXACTLY where you are and understand! From where I stand there is hope at the end of the tunnel!! I will check on you tomorrow!
This... This sermon right here.. I have no words in how much it resonated with me. I love the viewpoint of not belittling those with depression but rather showing love. That is truly beautiful
I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for putting this video in my path. It was so inspiring and true and it was what I needed at the right time, thank you pastor for this beautiful message and may God continue to bless your ministry.
I felt the closest to God during the worst of my depression it really got me out having the feeling of Gods love and also receiving medical care and therapy
I almost fell over when you said you heard of an incredibly sad story about someone who had friends who questioned if she was really trusting God because she was using medication. And I also love how you relate it to other medical conditions such as diabetes. What happened to this woman happened to me as well, and it is so so good to hear a pastor who knows the truth, that God channels His love through doctors as well! Thank you for speaking the truth! Hopefully others who need to hear this will have the chance.
Second time I've watched this ..... It's helps to hear ... When anxiety locks my mind on the world and not my savior. It's sometimes easy to get caught up in the problems of life and the world .... Thank you for the videos that encourages and redirects my mind to my faith
I relate to what you say here. I can get caught up trying to understand everything that is going on around me but I sense God wants me to focus on Him and His promises first and foremost.
I'm a young adult that is currently suffering from depression for the third time, and when he said that Jesus is right there with you and not waiting for you to get up, that just made me burst into tears because Jesus is right there going though it with me, rather then waiting for me at the end of the hall. thank you Jesus
My dad shot and killed himself on January 7th, but still I’m hopeless. I’ve got cystic fibrosis. Dad wasn’t supposed to leave me behind to deal with this without him. Please pray for me. I’d really appreciate it.
9 years of continuous life disasters and I am starting to rebuild my life Jesus rescued me at rock bottom Yes I still struggle some days but he has kept me and when I look at were I was and were I am now I can clearly see he has been at my side every day ❤️
I’m an atheist who is suffering from depression and this video....this video made me happy. “It’s never gonna be inspirational enough for a kidzbop album,” I love this man
@@i_kissed_a_pixie1537 We can find comfort in anybody, no matter their religion. This man gave a good message on depression, whether you're Christian or not
Good news. Even if you are currently an atheist, Jesus is waiting RIGHT THERE to accept you! My husband is an atheist and I pray for him. God Bless You!
my pastor once said to me, "expecting yourself not to take medication is like expecting the lumb not to use crutches". that gave me so much peace, and i felt so understood , and it helped me stop judging my faith and myself for taking medication. I started having depressed feelings when i was 15 but now i can see that. I was always depressed in a very slight level, and i wasnt treating it because i did not know i had it. I started treating it when i came to the Lord when I was 29 with panic and anxiety attacks; my body just collapsed: hypothirodism, insuline resistance, overweight, and dispair became my friens. But the Lord started treating my soul. I started taking medication. Now i am 35, and the Lord has been restoring my whole life through counselling in church, personal communions. He has giving me so much truth after truth about me, my childhood, my wounds. He came to heal the brokenhearted... Sometimes i just stay in his presence and cry or stay silent and let him minister me through silence. It is in my deepest place where God has revealed to me. Glory to glory, thats His promise to us. It is time, faith, and patience. He is in control. Now I am suffering from chronic pain in my lower spine and ciatic nerve so I had to start taking antidipressants again. But it is ok, frustating to me, but not frustration to God. HE KNOWS. He sees the process completed. He is our peace and hope. We are his children. He wont forsake us. This pastor is so right, God has a to do list for us to receive from Him. I know His healing, i know His love, I know His restorarion, and He is not done with me yet. When I feel frustrated about still being like this after a lot of years, I just see myself a lot of years ago, I see His glory in my life. Depression is so complex, it is a desease of the soul. and God will not stop until He see us healed.
Pastor for me it is a wrestling match. I had a severe breakdown at age 19. I am now 64. Yes a major part of it is biochemical. But with Him He has given me hinds feet that I might go up to my high places. But this tendency to at times be downcast is a part of my life. But He gives me the victory in the end.
I’m dealing with depression and anxiety sometimes on a daily basis and sometimes it causes me not to sleep much and to those who are and do deal with depression and anxiety my God heal and help you through it and know we all have a purpose and may God bless you all
delight eminem The fact that this man is not a muslim shouldn't be of any concern. Take from him what resonates with your soul. Imagine if the non believers back in the day did not help carry forward the great inventions from the islamic golden era simply because they were made by muslims. We wouldn't be as far advanced as we are today. The point I'm tryna make is we NEED to help each other out. We're all from the same source.
Very sorry to hear of your loss! Praying you continue to seek and find comfort in God. If it helps, here is a link to a devotional series on grief, and God's comforting words for those dealing with it during the holiday season: timeofgrace.vhx.tv/dealing-with-grief/videos/1-grief-where-to-begin.
Please pray for my son. He has been suffering from depression and anxiety. He is in his 30's and his illness keeps on coming back. We do not know what to do. His symptoms are coming back. Lord Jesus help us!
Hi Sally, We will certainly be praying for your son. Please join our Prayer Wall so that we can continue to lift him and the rest of your family up in prayer: www.timeofgrace.org/prayerwall God bless!
I have these symptoms and I have literally been shaking during job interviews. I am afraid of judgment. I want to just die. I can’t speak well and I have crippling anxiety. I think it’s making my depression worse
This legitely made me cry. I've suffered from depression for years, since diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and once diagnosed with Hashinotos 3 years ago, I've been almost fed ridden for weeks on end. Not seeing the day of light. Randomly I'll feel better but it gets super bad and my poor husband has to live with this..except he suffers from it as well. This video hit home and this guy gets it! It's not as easy as "just get up, just be happy" it's so annoying to hear that from family. I love his use of the Movie, Inside Out. I could relate.
God bless you. My name is harry kim from south korea. I am suffering from depression. I need breaking from work place. Would you pray for me to take a break from my working place. I am teacher. But My family don't want to my taking a break. I need prayer . Sorry, my english isn't good.
Wow! This was so helpful. Pastor you answered a lot through the Scripture. This felt so good to hear. It was refreshing. I suffer with depression and I looked for information through UA-cam on positive thinking and as a Christian it dawned on me to look up Bible based answers and this videos made me feel so much better. You explained through Gods eyes, and through example in scripture. Your sermon was wonderful. You were definitely #1 of the list. Through #2. I feel better about #4 and #3-5 everything is placed in perspective through Jesus. God bless you this was exactly what I needed. WOW!
This is possibly the most helpful practical video on here for sufferers that need Christian practical help and need hope that you are not alone...God is always near. I really like this Pastor and God's goodness showing through him. Thankyou.
If you play an instrument like guitar, for example; you can go to the psalms and make up your own tunes as you sing. I did that as a new believer teenager over 40 years ago, and it remains as one of the sweetest memories of just sitting & praying in song, while feeling the closeness of the Spirit of God. Being honest before God, asking and seeking, crying when you hurt, giving thanks & praise for all the things and people in your life. Find just one other person to confide in when you’re depressed & agree to pray for one another. But if you suffer from sustained life-altering state of depression...seek help. It may be hormonal, it may be the food you’re eating (go with real food, not processed). Change can be overwhelming though. When you’re really in a depression, all you can think about is staying in bed curled up in a fetal position. You can’t even get up to do just one thing. When I was at that point, I turned on (good) inspirational tv (or UA-cam); put my prayer request in on certain shows (like Marilyn Hickey); and sent messages to several praying friends to pray for me. So thank you to these pastors at Time of Grace for showing compassion. The entire law is summed up in “Love The Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and Love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27 I left “churchianity” for approx 23 years...still had faith but no church. Part of the reason is being married to a nonbeliever; part of it bc I felt I didn’t belong anywhere since I was raised Catholic, went to a nondenominational Bible school; but I felt very uncomfortable among “churched” folks, Protestant church culture & conservative politics. But God...who is filled with mercy & lovingkindness, ever patient, nudged me back to Him and gave me hope again. ❤️🙏 I am involved in a strong faith community with a focus on God’s Grace. I give thanks for all He’s done in my life-kids, spouse, mom, times of unemployment, EVERYthing (no matter how hard). I ask God to make me spiritually strong to be useful in service to others. I have more years behind me than I have in front of me now....that helps me to focus on what’s truly important. “Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, It will shine out the clearer.” ~Lord of The Rings
I loved this message & I so needed to hear how the pastor presented it. So many times with depression you can’t help but get caught up in how it makes you feel but listening to this message allowed me to see it based on what God’s word says. ‘HE will never leave me nor forsake me’ & ‘all things work together for good to them who love the Lord’. So no matter how God works this depression out in my life, it is going to be good & for my good. Thank you Jesus 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.
This was so good! You described depression and all the feelings and all the things that people will say and do to "help" perfectly! I'm just coming out of yet another valley of depression, but I can testify that God did not leave me alone during that "dark night of the soul". Like Him directing me to this video--what a blessing!! He's given me scriptures and devotions this past week and a half to encourage me and lift me up and comfort me and He's given me the wherewithal to KNOW that they were Him speaking to my heart and soul.
Jesus does NOT promise us NO depression, no trials and no adversity. But He DOES PROMISE that He will BE THERE WITH US THROUGH IT ALL. "I am with you, even until the end of the world." -Jesus
Thank you Pastor, going for an interview this morning but I am happy to say your message has just dealt with my depression. Grace has located me from Cape Town at 5:12am
How was the interview? Hearing this and your message , knowing we are all around the world and I'm not the only one loving Jesus and struggling with depression and anxiety, helped and brought me joy.
Thank you for this message! I needed today as I've been struggling with depression for a long time. I needed to be reminded The LORD Jesus is with me always, even in the pit of depression 💖
This service moved a boulder in my soul. I love you all, and though I am depressed and could ask for you all to pray for me...I instead will give thanks and pray for you all instead. All of our stories come with huge obstacles and trauma, and we cannot change it. Sometimes we cannot even change simple things. But what we CAN DO, is help one another, look for blessings, pray for one another, and spread love. I love you all regardless of color or status...and If I love you, someone who's been through heroin addiction, abandonment, heartbreak, losing my best friend in a car accident...then imagine how much GOD loves you.

Pastor, I was born with major depression, inherited from ancestors who came to Adelaide from London. I am now a few months short of 80. When I hear another uninformed person claim that we can ignore medical and scientific knowledge, when the author of a published Book of Prayers shares with God that psychotherapy is all quackery, I wonder how many depressed people he has met. Even faith healing cannot alter my genes. Depression does not discriminate. A minister of religion was so badly affected that he would occasionally spend a day in bed. He is probably worse affected than me. According to the World Health Organization, depression is now the major cause of lost time and productivity. "Counting one's blessings" to a depressed person, is like water off a duck's back.
I've suffered with depression for the last 5 years or so, even though it's so much worse now. Someone that is very close to me downgrades me all the time, and it really makes me believe them. I quote God's word about what He thinks of me, but it's not helping. I'm tired of feeling this way. I'm tired all of the time. I have no energy. I need help!

… I suffer from depression and anxiety. It’s been getting worse. I cried out to God more than once. I can’t afford therapy (not even at my church that offers counseling - cost too much). I’m exhausted & lost the battle by myself 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Start reading Psalms out loud in the morning and evening. Psalms got all the right words for soul healing and connecting to God. God wants you to find joy in Him.
Life is hard enough. I always thought that if one trusted in God that He would heal His children but He has chosen not to and it is so maddening. He has the power to perform miracles but yet He allows His children to suffer. This has been a battle for me for 7 years since having a full hysterectomy and it hasn't improved much even with prayer, medication, quoting back bible verses out loud and telling God that I trust Him and yet other christians say that because someone is going to through severe depression and anxiety that they should question whether they are saved or not because the gifts of the spirit are joy, peace, love, etc and that if someone is depressed then they are also focusing on self. If I would have known that I was going to go through this after having the surgery then I would have lived with it until it took me. I use to enjoy life and living right for the Lord and work hard like we are suppose to only to go through this and bankruptcy with no support so I left that church and never went back after years of attending there. I still pray and listen to sermons but the fears that I have had since childhood and the torment are still there. I know that we are to lean on the Lord but I can't even retain goals in my mind anymore or be excited about anything. I am going to go to a hormone clinic and maybe that will help some. Better than the hell that I have going through.
I have friends and esp a close cousin, this really helped me start to understand the approach that helps more that the added lists of tasks I tried to have him take.
I wish I would of seen this in June. I work as a CNA in a nursing home in WA state during the Corona Virus. It crippled me into a fear and anxiety. To the point taking care of others, my life's passion, into shutting down and doing nothing but laying on a couch the whole month of MAY. No support from our pastor as she is not there is not a wells church close. The shut down of the church even made it worse. Growing up WELS and my sister and Brother in law reminded me about time of grace and how it helped their son. I started watching these one at a time and noticed this one today. I have a new mind set and new goals finding the 5 G's of life. What I want I need to know how to get educated to help others? I would love to be a Christian Life Counselor. So many of our nurses and doctors need this. Its been a tough time. Fear mongering, words of hate, killings and disagreement. Time for us to have God, Goals, Growing, Glowing and Giving. Can i find it and do it with the proper education?

I also deal with a terminal illness while actually several terminal illnesses as my twin died unexpectedly 4 years ago while we were both taking a nap and she didn't wake up I could write a book of testimonies for 48 years worth of things that would probably blow people's minds and I don't mean that in a exciting way then again I'm still here today I'm excited to be here today and make it through everything I've been through and use my testimony to pay it forward and to help others because that's what I want to do even bedridden or when I can get up and sit in my recliner I call it recliner writed I live in the coldest state of the United States called Wisconsin with my mom and my kids are in Louisiana where my heart is and Colorado all three are no adults I miss him so very much and after I lost my flight attendant career I was forced to move back to Wisconsin as well I coach cheerleading and tumbling all star and I want to start a special needs team or just volunteer now I'm limited but on the days that I'm not I do what I can do and I find peace in it I think I'm the father for his well as I trust it and I have faith and everything and I will get through and I know
It is a great honor to be Jewish. Jesus and His 12 disciples all were Jewish. Have you watched Rabbi Kurt Schneider's program, Discovering the Jewish Jesus? ☺
Depression is something people joke about. But until you wake up every day with a dark cloud hanging over your head for no reason at all. Cause you have so much to be grateful about but yet no matter how many times you seek help nothing seems to break up that dark cloud for even a glimpse of sunshine. I know cause I'm here and it's hard. Every day I pray to Father for help me to battle the enemies lies. Praying and hoping this dark cloud will evaporate soon.

I battled despair for 7 years, no easy answers and no one could fix me but God, but some one holding my hand thankfully without no words (praise God) did wonders. Sending a card saying I am praying for you, was a reminder that i was not alone. A smile was a visible sign, its all ok today. We have to stop fixing people but support people, depression/despair is so hard to define, fix and understand. Today i am reminded of scripture that says I will never leave you. WRITE IT DOWN AND PUT IT SOMEWHERE YOU CAN SEE IT FIRST THING OF THE DAY, write the words Gods spoken to you, that you know are yours from him down, on your phone your hand your bathroom mirror your fridge. Pour your heart out to me PSALM 42 V 8, to help you. GOD BLESS.

Jesus didn't do that to the Demons, he sent into Swine, when the pigs ceased to be, they continued existing. You don't have that power no matter what some Masonic Positive Thinking seminar told you. I thought same.
I’m not a Christian ..(I used to be, very very devout many years ago, but we have moved forward : ). No matter,) ; This was really nice to listen to, I feel your Truth, that you have conviction in the words you speak. Spirituality is the saviour of so many, if not all of our “worldly problems”. Depression is probably one of the hardest ailments to deal with, heal from, watch happen to other people... Once again, not a “Christian”, but this was sweet. Thank you for recording this in hope that others hear the words and feelings - the meaning of your sermon - and be helped, if not just temporarily uplifted, or have some thought on this hard topic. Peace be with you, ..All of You. ❤️

I feel your pain my dear sister. I am 67 and has suffered from depression all my adult life. I was just asking myself, how comes I am a born again Christian who love the Lord with all my heart and I am feeling so low and joyless. Christian are supposed to be filled with Joy, so how come I feel so empty.
One thing that has helped me a little is 5HTP, it is a supplement that helps with depression. I wish I could find something to give me a boost. Now I understand why some people turn to drugs to alleviate the pain and suffering. Not that it works in the long run, so definitely not an option for me.
Hope you feel better my sister. Please pray for me while I pray for you.

Wonderful message! I love how he says that medicine and doctors are a gift from God rather than something that diverts us and shows a lack of faith. So true.
Good doctors are surely a gift from God, but it would be naive to believe all doctors are good. God bless the ones who fight to heal and help people ❤️

I liked how he emphasized that depression will not go away just because you believe in God. That you will also need people and medicines. That throughout your battle, God sits with you. He is with you. Depression is something most Christians do not get. When people struggle with depression, they simply say go read your bible. Go pray. Those are very helpful. But the reality, depression gets overwhelming at times. It makes people forget about every good thing in life.
The good news however, once you put your life in Christ, hope will always find you. You will be like the Psalmist in the passage; up and down but able to end his song with a praise.
Akay Valdez Amen. That has been my struggle. Learning to find my way in Christ and work through this depression. The church definitely don't understand. I've been told to pray and read my bible more, which is great, but the depression is still there. I didn't feel much relief until I got professional help.
I enjoy singing the scriptures and reading and speaking God's word. However, during a recent low period, knowing God is with me and is loving me unconditionally met my deepest need. No words needed.
Akay Valdez wow ty 💞💞💞
I have been asked if I have asked the Holy Spirit to fill me. I am not a charismatic and while I know that these are well meaning people, I do not share their belief in the rapture, gifts of the spirit, etc. How can a person relate to others that way while believing they are decieved? I have no church where my views are shared and so feel I cannot speak, and am so depressed I cannot even pray.
@@tanyadebeer4836 we all need to embrace true unity in the body of Christ. We have been redeemed and given new life in Christ. We are called to share His love and Truth with the world. Let's keep our eyes open the bigger picture. We are not ignorant of the enemy's plans to bring division and try to destroy all he can. Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us lift high His Name and rejoice in Him now and always.

I hope in the year since your post, that life has brought you gifts and happiness. Praying for you as we speak.
A week ago Sunday, I dragged myself to church after having spent a soul-sucking week of dark depression--depression brought on my the gloom of the weather, the holiday season and a conflict with my daughter and her family over Thanksgiving where I failed in my witness of God love and grace. As I came into my church, I prayed no one would ask me how our trip to our daughter's house went--I knew I couldn't lie and say "ok". Long story short, I couldn't hide the depression and sadness I was feeling and some of my sisters and brothers came up to me--one here and one there--and they just loved me and prayed for me. There were a couple who "preached" a little--it didn't help, but I thanked them because I know they meant well. As the worship went on (I handle the overhead for the lyrics), I stood there just crying. Then God started working on my broken heart and as the worship went on, the pain started to lift. He reminded me of a time when I had a burden for something else and when I shared that burden, the burden was lifted. I got up and testified to the goodness of God--I told them about the depression and said "Yes, I prayed and, yes, I read God's word and, yes, I listened to spiritual music (everyone seems to think that's the "magic" cure for depression--especially people who've never suffered from deep depression), But I thanked God and them that I have this wonderful, loving body of brothers and sisters in Christ who do love me just as I am and who hold me up in prayer. The next week, I didn't suffer from the depression--there was peace and rest in the Lord. A burden shared, is a burden lifted--bearing with one another in love--rejoicing with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn--those help so much. Just please don't judge people with depression--love them, pray for them, hold them--listen to only what God would have you say to them. Blessings!!
God bless you Fay! Everyone should learn from your situation!!!

I am posting above my post of 9 months ago. Thank you to all that prayed with me. My relationship with my Heavenly Father soared, I felt Jesus at my side, and the Holy Spirit just wrapped me in a warm and secure blanket of love.

I almost fell over when you said you heard of an incredibly sad story about someone who had friends who questioned if she was really trusting God because she was using medication. And I also love how you relate it to other medical conditions such as diabetes. What happened to this woman happened to me as well, and it is so so good to hear a pastor who knows the truth, that God channels His love through doctors as well! Thank you for speaking the truth! Hopefully others who need to hear this will have the chance.
Second time I've watched this ..... It's helps to hear ... When anxiety locks my mind on the world and not my savior. It's sometimes
easy to get caught up in the problems of life and the world .... Thank you for the videos that encourages and redirects my mind to my faith
I relate to what you say here. I can get caught up trying to understand everything that is going on around me but I sense God wants me to focus on Him and His promises first and foremost.
So thankful for the preaching of the word..
"By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me"
Thank You Lord

my pastor once said to me, "expecting yourself not to take medication is like expecting the lumb not to use crutches". that gave me so much peace, and i felt so understood , and it helped me stop judging my faith and myself for taking medication. I started having depressed feelings when i was 15 but now i can see that. I was always depressed in a very slight level, and i wasnt treating it because i did not know i had it. I started treating it when i came to the Lord when I was 29 with panic and anxiety attacks; my body just collapsed: hypothirodism, insuline resistance, overweight, and dispair became my friens. But the Lord started treating my soul. I started taking medication. Now i am 35, and the Lord has been restoring my whole life through counselling in church, personal communions. He has giving me so much truth after truth about me, my childhood, my wounds. He came to heal the brokenhearted... Sometimes i just stay in his presence and cry or stay silent and let him minister me through silence. It is in my deepest place where God has revealed to me. Glory to glory, thats His promise to us. It is time, faith, and patience. He is in control. Now I am suffering from chronic pain in my lower spine and ciatic nerve so I had to start taking antidipressants again. But it is ok, frustating to me, but not frustration to God. HE KNOWS. He sees the process completed. He is our peace and hope. We are his children. He wont forsake us. This pastor is so right, God has a to do list for us to receive from Him. I know His healing, i know His love, I know His restorarion, and He is not done with me yet. When I feel frustrated about still being like this after a lot of years, I just see myself a lot of years ago, I see His glory in my life. Depression is so complex, it is a desease of the soul. and God will not stop until He see us healed.
It was your antidepressant that treated your depression, not god
Pastor for me it is a wrestling match. I had a severe breakdown at age 19. I am now 64. Yes a major part of it is biochemical. But with Him He has given me hinds feet that I might go up to my high places. But this tendency to at times be downcast is a part of my life. But He gives me the victory in the end.
I’m dealing with depression and anxiety sometimes on a daily basis and sometimes it causes me not to sleep much and to those who are and do deal with depression and anxiety my God heal and help you through it and know we all have a purpose and may God bless you all

If you play an instrument like guitar, for example; you can go to the psalms and make up your own tunes as you sing. I did that as a new believer teenager over 40 years ago, and it remains as one of the sweetest memories of just sitting & praying in song, while feeling the closeness of the Spirit of God. Being honest before God, asking and seeking, crying when you hurt, giving thanks & praise for all the things and people in your life. Find just one other person to confide in when you’re depressed & agree to pray for one another. But if you suffer from sustained life-altering state of depression...seek help. It may be hormonal, it may be the food you’re eating (go with real food, not processed). Change can be overwhelming though. When you’re really in a depression, all you can think about is staying in bed curled up in a fetal position. You can’t even get up to do just one thing. When I was at that point, I turned on (good) inspirational tv (or UA-cam); put my prayer request in on certain shows (like Marilyn Hickey); and sent messages to several praying friends to pray for me. So thank you to these pastors at Time of Grace for showing compassion. The entire law is summed up in “Love The Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and Love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27
I left “churchianity” for approx 23 years...still had faith but no church. Part of the reason is being married to a nonbeliever; part of it bc I felt I didn’t belong anywhere since I was raised Catholic, went to a nondenominational Bible school; but I felt very uncomfortable among “churched” folks, Protestant church culture & conservative politics. But God...who is filled with mercy & lovingkindness, ever patient, nudged me back to Him and gave me hope again. ❤️🙏 I am involved in a strong faith community with a focus on God’s Grace. I give thanks for all He’s done in my life-kids, spouse, mom, times of unemployment, EVERYthing (no matter how hard). I ask God to make me spiritually strong to be useful in service to others. I have more years behind me than I have in front of me now....that helps me to focus on what’s truly important.
“Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines,
It will shine out the clearer.”
~Lord of The Rings
I know that poem , I love Lord of the rings very inspirational and hopeful
Thank you for this. I needed to hear this 🙏🏾
I loved this message & I so needed to hear how the pastor presented it. So many times with depression you can’t help but get caught up in how it makes you feel but listening to this message allowed me to see it based on what God’s word says. ‘HE will never leave me nor forsake me’ & ‘all things work together for good to them who love the Lord’. So no matter how God works this depression out in my life, it is going to be good & for my good. Thank you Jesus 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾.
This was so good! You described depression and all the feelings and all the things that people will say and do to "help" perfectly! I'm just coming out of yet another valley of depression, but I can testify that God did not leave me alone during that "dark night of the soul". Like Him directing me to this video--what a blessing!! He's given me scriptures and devotions this past week and a half to encourage me and lift me up and comfort me and He's given me the wherewithal to KNOW that they were Him speaking to my heart and soul.
God will certainly heal me I know he will he knows my heart
Jesus does NOT promise us NO depression, no trials and no adversity. But He DOES PROMISE that He will BE THERE WITH US THROUGH IT ALL. "I am with you, even until the end of the world." -Jesus
An empathetic friend is one thing; practical help is quite another.
Thank you Pastor, going for an interview this morning but I am happy to say your message has just dealt with my depression. Grace has located me from Cape Town at 5:12am
How was the interview? Hearing this and your message , knowing we are all around the world and I'm not the only one loving Jesus and struggling with depression and anxiety, helped and brought me joy.
Thank you for this message! I needed today as I've been struggling with depression for a long time. I needed to be reminded The LORD Jesus is with me always, even in the pit of depression 💖
this man ministers so poetically
This service moved a boulder in my soul. I love you all, and though I am depressed and could ask for you all to pray for me...I instead will give thanks and pray for you all instead. All of our stories come with huge obstacles and trauma, and we cannot change it. Sometimes we cannot even change simple things. But what we CAN DO, is help one another, look for blessings, pray for one another, and spread love. I love you all regardless of color or status...and If I love you, someone who's been through heroin addiction, abandonment, heartbreak, losing my best friend in a car accident...then imagine how much GOD loves you.
@Aaron, sorry for the loss of your friend, but do not be afraid of what we cannot see as JESUS is inside us, there are times when I feel low, and to demolish the negative evil thought that comes in the night, I profess this to myself and claim the words of God into me daily, say this to myself loudly and know Who I am in Christ. Thought of sharing this with you today.
Because you are in Christ, EVERY ONE of these statements is true of you. This is what God the almighty thinks of you.

Pastor, I was born with major depression, inherited from ancestors who came to Adelaide from London. I am now a few months short of 80. When I hear another uninformed person claim that we can ignore medical and scientific knowledge, when the author of a published Book of Prayers shares with God that psychotherapy is all quackery, I wonder how many depressed people he has met. Even faith healing cannot alter my genes. Depression does not discriminate. A minister of religion was so badly affected that he would occasionally spend a day in bed. He is probably worse affected than me. According to the World Health Organization, depression is now the major cause of lost time and productivity. "Counting one's blessings" to a depressed person, is like water off a duck's back.
I've suffered with depression for the last 5 years or so, even though it's so much worse now. Someone that is very close to me downgrades me all the time, and it really makes me believe them. I quote God's word about what He thinks of me, but it's not helping. I'm tired of feeling this way. I'm tired all of the time. I have no energy. I need help!
Kelly, we are so very sorry to hear about all of the challenges you're facing. Please seek help. You don't have to deal with this alone. Our friends at Focus on the Family provide counseling services and you can connect with them here: www.focusonthefamily.com/lifechallenges/emotional-health/counseling-services-and-referrals Please know that we will be praying for you and your family. We serve a God of hope and we pray that He will fill you with His hope daily.
I REALLY needed this video. I appreciate it tremendously. It touches on the reality of the struggle of being a Christian with these issues.
My depression did come from nowere. I don’t even know when it come. But i did get a Word to this feelings 4 years ago. I’m 16 years old now.
Thank you for the Message ...received
… I suffer from depression and anxiety. It’s been getting worse. I cried out to God more than once. I can’t afford therapy (not even at my church that offers counseling - cost too much). I’m exhausted & lost the battle by myself 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
… @Ram, only the Lord can do something. Only He can help. I can’t do it no more. It’s totally up to Jesus now.
Start reading Psalms out loud in the morning and evening. Psalms got all the right words for soul healing and connecting to God.
God wants you to find joy in Him.
@@usa2342 , it’s been 2 yrs & it’s been a bit easier. Only by God 🙏
Life is hard enough. I always thought that if one trusted in God that He would heal His children but He has chosen not to and it is so maddening. He has the power to perform miracles but yet He allows His children to suffer. This has been a battle for me for 7 years since having a full hysterectomy and it hasn't improved much even with prayer, medication, quoting back bible verses out loud and telling God that I trust Him and yet other christians say that because someone is going to through severe depression and anxiety that they should question whether they are saved or not because the gifts of the spirit are joy, peace, love, etc and that if someone is depressed then they are also focusing on self. If I would have known that I was going to go through this after having the surgery then I would have lived with it until it took me. I use to enjoy life and living right for the Lord and work hard like we are suppose to only to go through this and bankruptcy with no support so I left that church and never went back after years of attending there. I still pray and listen to sermons but the fears that I have had since childhood and the torment are still there. I know that we are to lean on the Lord but I can't even retain goals in my mind anymore or be excited about anything. I am going to go to a hormone clinic and maybe that will help some. Better than the hell that I have going through.
This is such a warm touching message. It blessed me so much. Thank you for sharing the Word of God.
I have friends and esp a close cousin, this really helped me start to understand the approach that helps more that the added lists of tasks I tried to have him take.
I cannot thank you enough for helping me out...
I wish I would of seen this in June. I work as a CNA in a nursing home in WA state during the Corona Virus. It crippled me into a fear and anxiety. To the point taking care of others, my life's passion, into shutting down and doing nothing but laying on a couch the whole month of MAY. No support from our pastor as she is not there is not a wells church close. The shut down of the church even made it worse. Growing up WELS and my sister and Brother in law reminded me about time of grace and how it helped their son. I started watching these one at a time and noticed this one today. I have a new mind set and new goals finding the 5 G's of life. What I want I need to know how to get educated to help others? I would love to be a Christian Life Counselor. So many of our nurses and doctors need this. Its been a tough time. Fear mongering, words of hate, killings and disagreement. Time for us to have God, Goals, Growing, Glowing and Giving. Can i find it and do it with the proper education?
Thank you ❣. I found your channel by accident; it was an advertisement, before another video ❣. Thank God❣. I have sent this to at least 10 people... Please pray for us, in South Africa ❣. Sending love and prayers to everyone who watches this ❣. ❤️🐸❤️
It probably wasn't a mistake if God made it happen
Thank you soo much for this! I needed this. Of course God knew that! 💕
@@mavc24c no. Im not. Praying one day I will be still.
I also deal with a terminal illness while actually several terminal illnesses as my twin died unexpectedly 4 years ago while we were both taking a nap and she didn't wake up I could write a book of testimonies for 48 years worth of things that would probably blow people's minds and I don't mean that in a exciting way then again I'm still here today I'm excited to be here today and make it through everything I've been through and use my testimony to pay it forward and to help others because that's what I want to do even bedridden or when I can get up and sit in my recliner I call it recliner writed I live in the coldest state of the United States called Wisconsin with my mom and my kids are in Louisiana where my heart is and Colorado all three are no adults I miss him so very much and after I lost my flight attendant career I was forced to move back to Wisconsin as well I coach cheerleading and tumbling all star and I want to start a special needs team or just volunteer now I'm limited but on the days that I'm not I do what I can do and I find peace in it I think I'm the father for his well as I trust it and I have faith and everything and I will get through and I know
I'm a Jew but this helped so much! Thank you Pastor Mike ✡❤☦!
Fýrgebræc Shalom brother :)
It is a great honor to be Jewish. Jesus and His 12 disciples all were Jewish. Have you watched Rabbi Kurt Schneider's program, Discovering the Jewish Jesus? ☺
Shalom
🙃
Shalom 🥰
Blessed are the Jewish people 😘
Thank you for this. It was encouraging.
Suffering with fear and anxiety please pray for me!
praying for you live techs 😀😀😀
i was just depressed n the ad came up to answer all my questions wow. Amen
Depression is something people joke about. But until you wake up every day with a dark cloud hanging over your head for no reason at all. Cause you have so much to be grateful about but yet no matter how many times you seek help nothing seems to break up that dark cloud for even a glimpse of sunshine. I know cause I'm here and it's hard. Every day I pray to Father for help me to battle the enemies lies. Praying and hoping this dark cloud will evaporate soon.

Just not to long getting up and this in my recommendation so glad I know what depression means very scary and dangerous thing.
I have never sat through a whole online sermon but this was really good
Wonderful message
I battled despair for 7 years, no easy answers and no one could fix me but God, but some one holding my hand thankfully without no words (praise God) did wonders. Sending a card saying I am praying for you, was a reminder that i was not alone. A smile was a visible sign, its all ok today. We have to stop fixing people but support people, depression/despair is so hard to define, fix and understand. Today i am reminded of scripture that says I will never leave you. WRITE IT DOWN AND PUT IT SOMEWHERE YOU CAN SEE IT FIRST THING OF THE DAY, write the words Gods spoken to you, that you know are yours from him down, on your phone your hand your bathroom mirror your fridge. Pour your heart out to me PSALM 42 V 8, to help you. GOD BLESS.
Best. Sermon. Ever.
A very wonderful message.
God bless you brother...u r a real one!
Jesus loves you and appreciates what your doing🙏 God bless you❤️🙏
you really helped me today. thankyou

Jesus loves you and appreciates what your doing🙏 God bless you❤️🙏
Jesus didn't do that to the Demons, he sent into Swine, when the pigs ceased to be, they continued existing.
You don't have that power no matter what some Masonic Positive Thinking seminar told you.
I thought same.

I’m not a Christian ..(I used to be, very very devout many years ago, but we have moved forward : ). No matter,) ; This was really nice to listen to, I feel your Truth, that you have conviction in the words you speak. Spirituality is the saviour of so many, if not all of our “worldly problems”. Depression is probably one of the hardest ailments to deal with, heal from, watch happen to other people... Once again, not a “Christian”, but this was sweet. Thank you for recording this in hope that others hear the words and feelings - the meaning of your sermon - and be helped, if not just temporarily uplifted, or have some thought on this hard topic. Peace be with you, ..All of You. ❤️
Thank you for your kind words, Krys. God bless!
This is such a good message. There is no quick fix
I’ll definitely pray for you , matter fact ima do it right now
Yes, just spend time with them. That's all u can really do to help, and yes, it means the world!!
Thank you, what a lovely teaching ....
God thanks for your word
Thank you
You're welcome
Hey everyone! I have been suffering from depression, and it gets so hard. Today is better, but it usually gets really bad at night. Please pray for me, everyone!
Lord in Jesus name, heal this person heart and mind. Amen! Thank You Lord for healing this person!
Liked it until the end when he said he does not care about a feeling. God created feelings. Liked everything else.
Thank you.
Thanks for this!
I needed to hear this. Thanks.
Please pray for me brothers and sisters. My depression is becoming to strong.

Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing your word to me in this way at this time! You never cease to amaze me with all your goodness and mercy! Once again, I come to you in contrition. I praise your name & give you honor for your never ending love & forgiveness. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏
