I am a Christian .I've had depression all my life. I'm 72 years old. I came off some horribly antidepressant medications that were making me crazy. God and I deal with my depression now. I often think I have depression because of lack of faith. Thank you for this sermon.God bless everyone with depression.
The evil, perverse, adulterous way this world is-- no wonder we have depression.
In God we trust is a must-- especially these days
Thank you my dear Lord for your unconditional love.❤️
I always thought I was a "Failed Christian" when I have gone through depression. And that makes it worse. Thank you for this priceless sermon. ❤
WOW that's nice🎉 Nice meeting you how are you doing today I hope you are doing well.
I feel the same way. So grateful for being led here today & now.❤
🌬️ I rebuke that spirit of depression in Jesus Holy Name🔥
Amen!
Depression is real. But don't sit in not understanding. Confess your pains to Jesus, quickly.
Matthew 5:4 NIV
“Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.”
Thank you I needed to read this.
LOL. Totally not true my friend. God does nothing to resolve problems.
Jesus said I can do all things that Strengthen me Trust Him 🙏🙏🎚️♥️💯
@@meritabuff741 He lied my friend and now He is dead. Good luck.
I’ve suffered with anxiety and depression for years, I’m a committed Christian - follower of Christ.
Each day is a struggle, scary, terrifying, disabling and crippling, but we have a Lord who loves us - we are all carrying our own cross as Jesus commanded.
Continue trusting God brother. Praying for you.
My hemoglobin was getting low the last blood work I had done,,,now its trying to consume my mind, im a born again Cristian and I have the holy spirit I'm believing God for my next blood work to be normal in Jesus name 🙌 🙏❤ I'm 72yrs old and I'm a widow I depend totally on my savior 🙏 🙌 ❤
Praying 🙏🙏🙏for you now mam that your blood work will come back in normal ranges
@@agapelove2853 thank you so much
I too shall go forth as gold. As you will also. Satan leave us as we shall never leave our GOD, in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ I pray.
Thank you Dr.Jeremiah for this most timely message sent through our Saviour
Please take note: this happened to me also, but God is holding you tight and He will make His light shine upon you, yet AGAIN. Be calm dear, you are in a valley at the moment; the Great Sunshine is there for you, any moment! I am praying for you straight away ❤
Living on this planet is lonely and a lot of us feel home sick living in a world without God’s physical presence. We can get through this together. It’s only temporary.
That’s exactly how I feel. Homesick for a place I’ve never been. And the loneliness is palpable, to the point I find it embarrassing and shameful. This video brought me comfort for sure - God bless you
Yes it’s that physical presence that we lack that makes it so challenging but.. faith is the substance hope for the evidence of things not seen
Amen your not alone
Amen! Depression for the third time right now due to trigger of past trauma. He is faithful. He has taught me He is with me even though I can't feel it. I explained it as a child with a nightmare and thinking he is alone, calling out for his mother and thinking he's been left alone, but his mother is right there behind the door.
I went through depression of my husband has passed on, looking for answers, looking for solutions I found none, seeking for help no one. I was thinking that im not a child of God fully but today I thank God for the answers of my prayers 😢 depression is very dangerous help us holy spirit to overcome
I come with you in agreement with , " help us Holy spirit to overcome " ....
"But not in our strength , in yours " 🙏🆓✝️
Psalm 119:50.
I m ministering at the moment to a strong man of God, he s filled with the HS and knows the Bible by heart, tried all that I know about deliverance. Very slowly is coming out, but falls back into thoughts and voices that are not good voices. Please pray with me that the Lord will deliver him. The Lord bless you for this sermon
Please please pray for me.
Are you in fellowship with believers? It sounds like you are not. A good fellowship means yo ,have people you can talk to and pray with, people who have also suffered difficult times. A Christian walk should always be within a fellowship, not alone. Seek out a good fellowship, ask God to lead you to the right one. He loves you, grief is easier when shared.
I have suffered from depression most of my life almost 69 years old. I just don't feel I can do anything right. It is debilitating. But God rescued ME.❤
Praying for my sister in Christ 🙏
@@HomeSweetBeagle Thank you so very much. GOD bless you

@@keithawhosoever5384 Thank you so very much, May God bless you abundantly!

I am sitting here in the parking lot of Cumberland farms and a young boy no older than 12 years of age walked over to my truck to shake my hand and said to me mam I hope you have a good day I was just about ready to cry when instead he put a smile wow God sent him to me I feel 🙏❤️
It is amazing how effective a smile or a kind word can be. And, it cost nothing to give.
Praise God Denise, God loves you Jesus loves you, ❤️🌞✝️🙏
Could have been a visit from an angel.
That's an incredible story! Yes, I think that God sent that boy your way. What a beautiful spirit he has!
Awesome 😊
I’ve been hospitalized for depression this year. I love the Lord with all of my breath,my son has overdosed twice this year, I saved him in his room, Gods timing,he’s still struggling and now being his earthly Father I’m in fear, I Love you Lord rescue us🙏❤️
I was hospitalized in my 30's several times. Thankfully, as I aged, it was not necessary to go back to the hospital. The depression subsided a good deal. It is one of the benefits of growing older. It has never completely gone, but I can live with it now because it used to be so much worse and I was very suicidal. After years of practice, it does get easier.
Fear nothing love GOD as you do . Depression and fear,does not belong to us.
We have an awesome faithful God. Trust totally in Him.I mean totally!
There are many praying for you and your son. Right now . He knows everything about you , and your situation. Pray and then put you trust solely in Him.
Seems hard to do since many others can't be trusted.Distrust becomes
a part of our life . Especially with narcissists around us. Put GOD to test . Trust GOD and he will strengthen you.Tell Him everything ,then lay it all at the foot of the cross .
Trust His timing ad His love for you and your Son.
I know the amazing things He can do when you totally trust Him
Everything will change !
Lord You are the Savior-come & save these children of Yours!🙏🏼❤️
My heart goes out to you. I live with depression and have most of my life. God has been so faithful in delivering me and restoring me. This sermon from Dr Jeremiah came up on my Utube feed as I was having a difficult day and praying for help. I wanted to encourage you to call Andrew Womack healing prayer line and pray for the deliverance of your son from his addiction. God has answered so many of my prayers for healing for loved ones when Andrew's prayer team has stood in agreement with me and prayed. Amazing reports of healing. I just wanted to share this and I am praying for your son also.
I'm sorry God decided not to help resolve your problems. Good luck.
I was born with depression, due to bipolar, all the things about depression dr Jeremiah explained are true, I still suffer from it, but the Lord has saved me, and although I do not want to be in this world, I’m thankful to the Lord for I am here to glorify Him, and one day I shall be with Him….. thank you Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for the salvation, I’m here to praise you and to tell others the gospel. HALLELUJAH and AMEN!❤
Amen
I suffer with manic depression. The therapist prescribed pills for it, but I'm afraid to take them, after seeing what pills did to mother. I pray alot.
@@dennismclaurin1487 hi Dentist, I’m not sure what they gave your mom, I had to go through a lot of medication before I found the one that works for me, I praise God for that, keep praying, don’t give up, I will be praying for you, Dennis🙏
I know your life, I have had the same disappointment in life as yourself. I am 70yrs and have known salvation in Christ Jesus over 40yrs. For anyone who reads this, just as this sister has testified, I too am bipolar. God will bring you through with
blessings and joy . I have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. Ask Jesus to carry your depression and I assure you he will do it!!
@@dennismclaurin1487I have manic depression too for the past 15 years... I know it hurts to think that we go thru that... sorry.. pray for you.
My name is Jennifer and I have debilitating anxiety and depression. I would appreciate any prayers. I know God loves me but this is hard.
I don't know you Jennifer but I love you as a sister in Christ. You are worthy and keep pressing into the Lord and DONT give up. Life is progressive and God will unfold things as days come. Nothing stays the same. Partner with God with what you are going through and keep listening to that small still voice for help and guidance. Try toake a list of good things you encounter everyday and start a daily gratitude list. This will help flip your houghts.
@@boobook3884 thank you so much for encouraging me with such good advise. Love you sister in Christ.
🙏🙏🙏
No body is going to pray your depression away so you can just stop counting on people's prayers and SEEK TO CONNECT TO GOD BY YOURSELF. Come! He says.come to Him. His invitation is open to all who are weary and heavy laden AND HE WILL GIVE YOU REST. Depression is a spirit and it is not of God.
I pray for you!!! Remember, nothing ever stays the same and this too, shall pass! 🕊
I am so truly grateful that a pastor as well- known and respected as Dr. Jeremiah has the wisdom, compassion, and intestinal fortitude to address this subject.
Indeed so true. Many Christians feel they have to 'put on' bright appearances/faces when they actually can't! Few can handle or want to truly listen to, & accept & understand a believer suffering depression, whatever the causes are...chemical/hormonal imbalance,from being bullied/abused..loss of health, debilitating disability,illness, rejection & lack of human care.
Yes. I appreciate it.
Intestinal fortitude. Lol
Guts? Amen
@@sudhakhristmukti1930 Ja, so is es!😢
LOL. Seriously? You find it "gratifying" that a non-professional medical "preacher" would be able to diagnose and prescribe treatment for serious mental health conditions? Really? To me he sounds rash and dangerous.
Depression is a horrible thing to experience, devil has ripped my family completely apart and some days I barely get through. I love to hear Dr Jeremiah’s sermons, straight from God’s word. I really needed to hear this today, thank you Dr Jeremiah and God bless.
I hear ya
Right there with ya sis
Depression has ripped my marriage apart. My husband couldn't handle it, couldn't support me. Even after he said it didn't matter, he wanted me any way I was. 😥
May the Lords face SHINE down upon you in a mighty way such that you always in every circumstance know how much you are loved. In Jesus name. 🙏💖🙏💖🙏🤗🤗🤗
I'll pray for you.
I'm a widow. My husband passed away 6 years back.
I can't share the pains that I go through.
Your message has given me confidence to face the trials that I go thru and to become emotionally strong.
Kindly pray for my full deliverance from the depression.
Thank you.
Praise the Lord.
A animal helps , truly , they need and depend on you and such good company . I’m older than you my last one , dog that is was with me 🦮15 yrs. I still cry over him . I’ve got another one , not quite the same but I’m learning to love again . 🌹.

Praying for you
This sermon meant more to me than words can express. All in God's time. He's NEVER too late. My faith is strong, this 10yr battle will end.
Have you ever been in a room full of ppl, but feel lonelier than you ever have? Jesus is my lifeline and I will hold on to Him until the end of time.
Yes . And I don't know what's worse. Feeling lonely and scared and depressed within a group of people , or isolation at home , feeling the same thing ...
Having to tell myself constantly though out loud , " God loves me " . And, " this too shall pass " . 👍✝️🆓🇬🇧
@@keithawhosoever5384 💕😔
Jesus said “I will never leave you or forsake you.” Feelings are not fact. Once we are saved, it’s impossible to be alone even though we might feel alone.
@jharvey9898 💕 that's true, that's why He is my life line. I just never feel like I belong here
That's because the world is full of people who are of this world. I feel withdrawn and desolate. Much prayer is a must for my manic depression
Praying the nodules in my lungs are being healed, in Jesus name!
I already know that many are praying for you.Don' t be too uneasy if an angel showing the presence of the Lord, bring you a visit ration ,and you be healed.
Our God is an awesome Faithfull God. Expect it.
It's been 2 months since you asked for Gods help. How are you doing? Good I hope.
Just prayed for you Sandra!! May God totally heal you!
@@mj3845 I have a feeling it may be to late. Are you sure you prayed for her?
@@Aussie23456 What?! LOL. What does that even mean?
I've been diagnosed with: anxiety, depression, ptsd, manic, the highs and the lows, and many other medical terms. One thing that doesn't change is the Love from from God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. They will never leave me or forsake me. I'm thankful for that!
Chris McDowell
Let Jesus’ word diagnose you.
0:00: 😔 Depression is more than just a case of the Blues, it is embodied emotional suffering that affects both the mind and body.
6:52: 😔 Job expresses his profound depression and despair after losing everything.
12:26: 😔 Job expresses his deep depression and questions why he was born and why he survived.
17:23: 😔 Job questions the purpose of his life and why he is alive.
22:09: 😔 Depression is a reality that even Godly believers can experience, and it is important to recognize the symptoms and seek help.
28:30: 💔 Depression is a routine that often follows a high point, and the response to depression is to face it honestly.
33:40: ❤ Depression is a common struggle in faith, but it does not mean losing favor with God; seek help and remember God's love is unwavering.
39:22: ❤ God's love and support in times of discouragement and despair.
My recap note by Tammy AI with useful time stamps. Thanks Lord for sending Pastor David

First time I have visited your channel & your sermon was just what I needed. I suffer from depression, anxiety with anxiety attacks since my only son was killed 12 yrs ago. I had a total breakdown months after his death & ended up in the ER. I see a professional & am on medication. I’ve been so down on myself for still struggling. Truth be I have suffered from depression & anxiety since I was a child, but didn’t know what was wrong with me, but when my son died it all snowballed and manifested itself in such an unbearable way that I collapsed. I am a Christian, but still struggle even with meds. Fortunately some days are better than others. Thanks again for this sermon. It meant so much to me to hear depression & anxiety are not a sin.
I was fine as well. Even was looking to possibly become a pastor. I was married at the time and my wife passed suddenly. We were only 29 and it was a week before our 30th birthdays (we were a day apart in age.) Suddenly I stopped going to church. Wasn't mad at God, I just felt like life kicked me down a flight of stairs and I didn't have the motivation to get back up. Since, I have gotten into pain mess to deal with the anxiety and depression. 10 years later and I want to kick the addiction and I'm hit again with what feels like a spiritual depression. Idk if God is discipline me for neglecting the bible and prayer or if this is a spiritual attack, trying to keep me from being saved.....I can't find happiness and I am frustrated and impatient, constantly. Idk what to do. I have nobody to talk to about it but God. But even then, I feel like He's not listening. I know the bible says God never leaves us, but I just feel like im the acception.
@jamesvan2201 hello brother James, your comment, parts of it,sounds as if I wrote it!! Let us continue the "good fight" and keep "waiting upon The LORD"
It does seem as if we are alone, but GOD does care & Love us,I just think we need to do the same about ourselves!?!?!! I will say a prayer for both of us!!!
GOD BLESS YOU & me!!
I walk 2 miles every day, it I feel so much better Fter walking, it's like medicine, and also pray while walking. 😊

Past trauma for me still triggers depression as well, Prayed for you and i will continue, Father, your child is in felt pain, please help her know you are with her even when it feels like you are not, Give her fresh strength and courage and keep her relying on the truth of your Word, even when it is not felt,
Jesus actually did suffer His Father looking away from Him ehrn all our sin was placed upon Him, He knows your pain and loves you. For reasons we may never know, the LORD had, for your ultimate good and His glory allowed this trial. I have and am learning to combat negative thoughts by believing God's Word,
not my thoughts.
@@kimmaclennan3591 Thank you SO much for your encouraging words. I ask for prayers for the only child I have left after losing my son now 13 yrs ago. She has 2 concerning medical conditions & I’m worried to death about her. She is 41 & has a 6 yr old little girl to raise. I am going with her April 11, 2024 to University Medical Center to see what exactly is going on & what can be done. She may be facing 3 complicated surgeries & cancer has not been ruled out at this point. I humbly ask for prayers for her. Kim, thanks again & I will add you to my prayers list.
Dear Fellow Depressions. This has always been a tough world for me to fit into. I do not know what it would be like to not be depressed. I salute all of you. You are conquering a condition that is by evil design while living on this temporary home school. Remember, by faith alone, we soon we will be glorified in celebration. You received that invitation and RSVPd your attendance. Soon a pain free promise will be found in our forever home. See you on the other side chosen ones.
Jesus, come back soon!
Yes! In CHRIST we can. We will one day be HOME!!!
Did you know that You can know what IT IS LIKE to be free from depression here on earth? Come! Jesus calls. He gives REST....I will give you rest. Question remains, do you believe it?🤔
See you back home ❤️ AMEN ❤️ HALLELUJAH YESHUA ❤️
LOL. So are you saying you've been depressed for so long it is now a "normal" emotion?
When I was getting the Job job, I also asked the question why was I born. I got an answer by God. He simply said, if you were not born, you wouldn't be mine. Well that's good enough for me.
I KNOW the Lord just sent this to me ! This just autoplayed after the end of another video and this just hit my heart so deeply! It brought tears to my eyes a few times! Thank you for this word ! God knew I needed this encouragement today !
What a faithful GOD we have,in the name above all names Jesus Christ. Amen.
He restores our soul.
Don't you just love HIM
Rebecca.
I always thought depression happens only to those with little or no faith in God. Thank you for this priceless sermon. Like Job, I won't lose my grip on my faith and my God.
I thought the same thing until I heard otherwise. It was good to know that there are other christians who suffer with depression.
I listen to this in the hours preceding an assessment for early dementia symptoms. This followed listening to the final sermon by Dr. Charles Stanley before his passing. It seems God is encouraging me, reminding me that he's always with me, even in my darkest hours.
It's going to be a difficult day but I know God will still be with me when I lay down to rest again tonight.
My friend has early dementia.
Good is with you always. ✝️
@@sammynmick so very sorry 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Jesus. I declare Your divine healing on Jason, on all of us. It’s what You did for us by Your outrageous sacrifice on that cross. You willingly endured this horrific act of love through agony and pain. In laying down Your life, You gave us life and promised we would have it MORE ABUNDANTLY. “Thrive!” Jason, we will thrive and speak Jesus to everyone through our pain. We will do all Jesus did, and more. We will live and thrive in the promises of our Savior, brother. In Jesus name. Amen.

Don't ever go back to that church!
Look up the autobiography Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer 😇
@@JC-du6sn thank u I will
What you were told is a lie. It is not your fault. We all have insecurities, sin, anxieties and other things that we didn't ask for or want. God gives us strength to cope. Always remember, In Christ, we can do ALL things!
Wow I was feeling the same way but that's not true Look how His sent this video
The bible describe how terrible depression is. Thanks for sharing this wisdom from Gods Word describing many suffered depression. May Gods Grace and Peace be with us all.
I have had grief depression by finding my son Christopher dead in the bathroom stuck between the wall and the toilet with his nose and mouth smashed against the wall. The only child I had and family was non-existent and God put professionals in my path. And what God has shown me in His word. Praise Jesus Christ Amen ✝️❤️🙏🇮🇱 Shalom
Im sorry for your loss. I can relate to your pain. My only son committed suicide in November 2022. I will be praying for you. God has been helping me to draw closer to him as Im going through this time of grieving.
I'm so very sorry for these greivious losses for both you ladies.
There is also at times a tremendous physical pain associated with depression.
Yes 😭
It changes you completely! Mine is anger! As soon as I say something, I regret it! I'm glad he's teaching on this. I've had people tell me that if I have depression. Anxiety and bipolar disorder? 😊I must not be saved. That's completely wrong. Look at Job
So true, may we be more gentle as Jesus Christ demonstrates.
I have depression, PTSD from IPA, anxiety disorder and chronic pain and fatigue along with migraines too.
And my husband has just ran off.
@Ellen R I'm so sorry for what your going through! Ask Jesus for peace and strength. Praying for you and your needs
God-bless you for this sermon! Another part of depression (especially as a Christian) is shame for feeling that way. Thank you for your affirmation and encouragement. People that haven't experienced it have no idea how debilitating it is, and often have little patience or compassion for those who do. Those of us who do experience it need a safe space where we won't be judged, but listened to. No one ever pretended to be depressed, but we certainly pretend not to be. I admire the transparency of Spurgeon to admit it to his whole congregation. That took such courage! Those of us who feel deeply, love passionately, are more prone to depression. There is no sin in that.
My depression and anxiety stems from my ex gf and her battle with her abuse from childhood on. She left a man who was willing to lead her and her kids with me on the path to faith in Jesus. She felt she wasn't worthy of a loving relationship. She's been beaten by the devil for many years. I'm trusting God that she'll be saved. It's easy to say "she has free will" however she was abused by someone in the church. Please pray for Liz if you've made it this far. Not for my sake, but for hers and those of her children. God bless
God bless you and your cares for them in Jesus Christ name
@normanjefferychester882 Thank you so much brother. I saw your response at the right time. I was just missing and crying for her. Your response made me feel like someone cares. God bless you and yours .
I'm praying for Liz too.
God will hear all of our prayers.
@@Arrasel Thank you and God bless
Depression is no joke. I have been suffering from depression for decades. Been on meds for decades and at 74 I just live with it. When I lost my wife five years just compound it. I have lived with anxiety and fear as far back as I can remember. I am a Christian and look for answers but can't seem to find them. I would not wish depression on anyone. I do not believe there is cure. You just learn to live with. 😢
Jesus Christus, kann helfen und heilen, wie Keiner!
I hate my depression...but it keeps me needing God. And that is a very good thing. Although I pray daily for God to take it away.
I'm so sorry. My mother had depression and anxiety her whole life even as a Christian (she passed in 2021) and I do believe childhood trauma was a huge factor. We know so much more about the brain now and how trauma impacts it. I'm ashamed at how I judged her at times over the years. I long for Christs return! I pray you find hope and comfort in Gods word.
No no no 😭😭😭😭😭
Jesus did not die that we may learn to live with depression. Jesus came for our freedom. Freedom from sin, freedom from the devil, freedom from all the powers of this world. Depression is a spirit. Just because you have lived with it for years does not make it NORMAL. Come to Jesus. He alone gives REST. COME TO ME, He says, and I will give you rest. Just get born again. It is never too late. I too was once depressed and yet I claimed to be born again for years BUT I WASN'T. When I got really born again MY LIFE WAS CHANGED. He knows how to turn Everything around. He makes EVERYTHING NEW😄
That’s not true, you can get out of depression!!! Depression is either a spirit that needs to be cast out. Or a stronghold that needs to be broken. But either way jesus is your only way out of this. As soon as you start to feel the depression Use god’s words of promises to fight those feelings. Go to a good church with spiritual believers that will lift you up and don’t isolate yourself. As soon as you start to feel the depression again, Rebuke it!!! Say spirit of depression get away from me in Jesus mighty name. I am a child of god. Fight Fight Fight!!! With gods help you can win this battle.
Yes I went through two and a half years of depression. Yet GOD carried me . And yes I read the book of Job in that time, and at the end I saw he carried me.Amen.
What a faithful God we have.
Hello I went to dreprresure for 3 years 😢I was praying to God to help he did❤ thank God

Just about my entire life! 8 months ago I rededicated my life to my Lord Jesus Christ who is God my Lord and Saviour! I’m still suffering from it but now I’m not taking Medication 💊 for it! I’m Relying on God
But I’m struggling because of a Family member who Refuses to admit that they have done wrong but blames me for everything! God knows I didn’t Judge anyone! But I’m Judged and they refuse to admit it! And they say they are Christians! I just don’t understand how they don’t see what they have done! I’m not perfect and have repented what I need to! Every time I pray 🙏 Both Me and my wife God says to us both not to say anything to them! And so we don’t!
Please 🙏 pray for me!
Regards
Glenn from Australia 😇🙏🇦🇺
God has given me peace in my Heart! I know God therefore I have no guilt in my Heart and Soul! I’m being plagued in my mind through at times
Ask God to help you in forgiving the person,that will heal and help you finally
You don’t need anyone’s approval or validations …..
You are Gods Child and you know the truth 🙏🙏
Stay away from family and so called friends that question You ? Talk over You ….. and cause you to question Yourself 😇😇😇
Pray for them and then give them to God 🙏🙏🙏
I hope your doctor agreed with your self-diagnoses.
Happens in many families. I was blamed for anything that went wrong.
A sister trying to take an inheritance. Pray God's will for us all.
The Lord is coming soon.
Praying for you 🙏🙏
Glad that I was able to find this preaching. I’ve been dealing with depression and axiety due to my marriage. I think I’m dealing with a narcissists and I never stop praying for him. I pray that God help me to get through with this😢
Yes ,you are back Chili Arce.I also suffered loosing possessions including house and car ,and family and my three sons.17 years with narcissist then depression.
I am back with GOD . What a faithful GOD we have .
He loves you. And I don't know how but HE loves me too. Amen.
@@Aussie23456 Thank you for the encouragement. As attend the Wenesday servi earlier, Pastors says never stop praying and believe of what you’ve been praying for.
And how has praying worked? Any changes for the better?
@@TboneWTF yea.. God never fails with his promises.
Keep on praying believing you will get stronger before you know 🙏 ✨️ 💪 💯
Many Christians do not want to deal with this with empathy and compassion but instead will condemn those members of the body of Christ who experience it. There is a saying I heard somewhere a while back that the army of Christ is the only one that shoots it wounded.
True😢
Sad
Thank you for this inspirational sermon. My life has spiraled out of control in the last 11 months and my spiritual growth has taken a back seat. But I know that God is the only one that can help us as a family. Attempted suicide, death of my brother, quadruple bypass for my other brother and my sister in mental institution due to the loss of her husband. Please pray for us my special christian brothers and sisters. May God bless you always.
I'm so sorry for all that's wrong in your family. Praying for God to help all of you through it
Prayed for you I’m so sorry sometimes so many things happen close together but remember this too shall pass
@@susankovach8927please pray for me to get everything back in Christ. I ran back to a horrible person and feel the holy Spirit gave me over and I Regret this. I didn't mean to get on Destruction path. Why would God do and allow this to even Grieved the holy Spirit and not feel Spiritually powerful. I was a single lady and SPIT OUT AND I wasn't this way. I had talents and gifts. I was so deceived and Spiritually cut. No warning no armor curses and BLIND. I don't remember what happened
I am so thankful to hear this. I suspected I suffered from depression but being a Christian, I felt guilty for even thinking it and continued to deny it but thank you David Jeremiah for preaching on the realities of life. For reminding us that God loves us and continues to walk with us even when we don’t feel it. Thank you for encouraging me to talk to someone about it.
“When He tests me I will come out as pure gold” Job 23:10,11❤

I have found it’s best to “stay in my lane.”
Try to focus on what God has right in front of you. Nothing more.
Tomorrow isn’t here, yet.
The thing we are concerned about tomorrow may not even happen.
Also, recall past troubles and how they have come and gone.
Don’t go into God’s lane and cut Him off.
The other lane may be for someone God has delegated to take your concern off of your shoulders.
Just move along the day in your own lane.
(Appreciate the journey along the way)
Please who are here please pray for me,, i have financial struggle right now but i believe god will provide and i claim it in jesus name, amen🙏🙏
God Almighty is the alpha and Omega.He is your provider
🙏🙏
God bless u and claim your breakthrough in Jesus name.
Thank you for sharing the message from someone who suffers from chronic depression.
This sermon is one I’ll listen to over again several times.first 5 minutes of this sermon described every emotion I’ve been dealing with for 8 months now. I have been in ministry for over 40 years. Never has life been as difficult as it is right now. Thank you Dr. Jeremiah. This message hit the target of what I needed at this time.
0😢🎉I TC😅
Praying for you.
Amen. Dr. Jeremiah, our 'Student of God' as he humbly describes himself. Oh my Dear Dr. Jeremiah, how you are so so much more. I always feel better, and not so alone when his voice begins. Thank you Father in Heaven for this man. Hold Fast my Brother in the depression that overtakes me as well. This is not our home. But still, it is our time on earth. Your note gives me strength.
I have been struggling with depression and anxiety but I know God has not given up on me I will not give up on God
I'm asking for God to pray and take this feeling of depression away so I can move forward in my life and feel whole again father hear my prayer
Amen
Hello I live in Massachusetts and I have some depression going on I am also dealing with loneliness and I was wondering if anyone here is dealing with the same thing? I'm looking for new friends to meet or to talk to I hope to hear from anyone that shares the same
Thank you
Debra
I have often thought of taking my own life. Because of severe loneliness. But as a Christia I know it is wrong and a very selfish act. My family and close friends would be so badly affected. So I cannot do this. I just have to learn to trust Jesus to please help me in my dark hours of loneliness. It's not easy but I know I have to be strong. Please Jesus help me in my hours of need. I often think of the life of Jesus, he had to bear far more than me, I comfort myself with that thought..ALso I am an old man now and determined to carry on because I know that Jesus loves me so much. So much he died for me on that cruel cross of Calvery. . Because He lives I must face tomorrow. THANK YOU DR DAVID JEREMIAH'
I just love listening/watching Dr David Jeremiah . He always gives me something to ponder everyday!!!
It is the loneliest feeling in the world....I went through the abuse of family...there were times I wanted to commit suicide, which I have tried..but I cling to MY KING LORD JESUS CHRIST....I choose not to speak much and like to live behind closed doors.. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this topic 🙏
I have Depression but my Faith is still intact. I know that He see me thru it
God bless you Kathy in Jesus name ,be healed 💗🙏✝️
I'm suffering from depression since 2014 till now I'm dealing with it kindly pray for me I'm waiting for God's timing...
I am praying for you. I feel the same.
I started having severe depression at 52 years of age. I'm now 55. I suffered depression for the last 3 years non-stop. For 52 years of my life I honestly didn't know what depression meant, I was happy. Now depression torments and devours me every day, from morning till evening. I get some relief if I manage to fall asleep. But many nights I suffer from insomnia. Please pray for me. I feel despair and hopelessness in my heart, though I pray to God in the name of Jesus every day. I feel so sorry for the teens and tweens who are battling depression from a very young age.
sending prayers...I feel the same
@@kelseymathias3881 Thanks, I hope you'll find relief in the Lord.
I’m thanking you in advance Lord I know I’m gonna come out. You’ve done it before. And you gonna do it again thank you Jesus ❤ depression is real, but you are realer 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This sermon is very encouraging to me. I have struggled with depression since I was a teenager and have been taught that believers aren’t suppose/allowed to get depression because we have Jesus.
Was told the Same thing and mocked from the PULPIT. Laughed at.
@@TriciaRP 😄sorry for laughing but thing is WHAT ROLE DOES A DEPRESSED MAN HAVE ON A PULPIT?🤔🤔🤔😄😄😄😄
Am sorry for laughing but It's actually not funny at all. It is EMBARRASSING to be preaching a happy God while the preacher is depressed. It is ironic . forgive me for my limited vocabulary. Contraversial indeed. It is SUCH A DISGRACE to the Name of the Lord.
(But unfortunately it's happening...many behind these pulpits are actually depressed 😨)
I’ve been suffering a bad bout of depression for the last 6 months. I find that it’s such a struggle for me to read my Bible during this time. I can’t stay focused nor can I remember what I just read. Normally I will study my Bible for 3 hours and more a day since I am disabled. I truly love digging into His Word and I have been reading the Bible for 40+ years. I just recently went to my drs (I had cancelled several other appts since I couldn’t get out of bed) and admitted to her how bad it’s been. She’s increased my medicine and did a mental health referral. I’m still waiting for a call from mental health but my dr is aware of my desire for a Christian therapist. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions for me on getting back to studying my Bible I would really appreciate it. I do listen to sermons but I miss the intimacy with God. Thank you so much in advance. ❤
If you figure it out lmk! I am struggling. Before my daughter passed away, I was on fire for studying and seeking God! It's been over a year and I just don't feel the same
God bless you both with healing and health in Jesus name
I was completely honest about my PTSD, anxiety and bouts of depression with the man that wanted to marry me.
He kept telling me he didn't care. He wanted me any way I was, he wanted to help. I am also my elderly mothers caregiver.
I kept telling him I struggle with depression and he said it didn't matter to him.
We married in Aug 2021, after 6 months he ran off without a word. I took him back. After another 3 months he ran off again....he did not support me, he would loose his temper, something I never saw coming.
We were separated for 52 days....I prayed through many tears....God brought us together for another chance.
I tried to express my feelings, but he just couldn't handle it. Another 3 months and yesterday he said he was going to the library.....he never came back.
He doesn't answer his phone. I have texted him and he doesn't answer.
The biggest thing between us and the main thing that caused my depression during our marriage was that he spent most of his daylight hours on his 3 electrictronic devices, and ignored me. He has an addiction to UA-cam videos and this did not surface until 3 months after we were married 😢
Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness dear child of God. Remember HE is jealous over you and wants your WHOLE heart. No man can take the pain of two for too long. Jesus can though😊
Appreciate EVERYTHING. If u can bend, sit, stand sing, breathe, PRAISE. It will change you😊
Listen to Andrew Murrays " Divine Heàling " on youtube. Play it as you sleep. Write down the verses and declare it. Healing is Gods will and we need to claim it by faith.
Sometimes people like us are targets for covert narcissist. You might want to look into that. Because we are Christians we are targets because we are forgiving but you are able to using God's words. Remember you have to create boundaries. I have been through similar but a little different
You didn't ask for my advice Ellen but here it is : cut him loose. He is toxic for you. 🙏
I needed to hear this today!
DEPRESSION IS REAL..MANY TIMES I GET DEPRESSED..BUT I KNOW GOD CARES AND HE IS IN CONTROLL..I PRAY IN JESUS NAME ...❤❤ JESUS CARES AND HE WILL HELP US AND COMFORT US IN TROULBLED TIMES..AMEN THANK YOU DAVID JEREMIAH IN THE NAME OF OUR CREATOR AND OUR LORD ❤
❤
I ask often and get no reply not here. I believe God put you in my life for a reason. I do not go to church just not been able to see where God wants me. All i have is you and some places on yt. I will never lose my faith, but I could be Job in this chapter. I ask please for prayer. i believe that one or more....please. I learned not to ask for patience LOL. but seriously, i am not sure what to ask for anymore. I just know i will never stop believing in the Lord. I feel like i am being blocked from what and who God wants me to be and it isn't stopping. Thank you all and ty for preaching truth. I am not lost I am just hurting.
Though He slay me, I will rise in the name of Jesus Christ
I am thankful for pastor's addressing these hard topics. My son was also helped with his depression through eating whole foods that made him feel good, getting sunlight and meditation in nature and God's word.
A lot doesn't know that one of the root cause of depression and anxiety is vitamin deficiency, like Vit D and iron/ferritin.
MY Depression, PTSD and anxiety after a TBI..something that sometimes makes me pray for God to call me home. I am determined, In Him, I will be victorious
I have been going thru depression for than 10 years n it's still continuing though I recovered some by God grace with incomeless Or jobless for the past 13 years + n being still bachelor @ 37+ years of age... I urge someone do pray fervently for me as to recovered fully n keep my soul unto Him.. May God bless
My sister and I enjoy so much . We watch David Jeremiah on a regular schedule and he has words of hope in this world .
Lord spare us from depression
I'm struggling with depression too and it hurts a lot...
I’m glad you went into detail with how job truly felt. It gives it a more personable than to be isolated. Thank you Jesus😊
Informative, high quality teaching & spirit uplifting sermon...Glory to Jesus 🙌🙌🙌...thank u Dr Jeremiah.
Thank you for preaching on this. My heart desperately needed to hear this today.
Perhaps we long to be home with Jesus and don't know how to live on earth without our permanent family and father..? The separation is very hard but we don't always think about the love and steadfastness of God who is ever present.
TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY, HONOR, PRAISE, AND POWER ✝🔥🔥🔥
THANK YOU, JESUS ❤🔥🕊
God bless you Dr. David Jeremiah for delivering this message on depression. This helps a lot of individuals who are fighting and suffering with this mental sickness. I can relate to your message since i also suffered it for 2 years. Tho i struggled to feel God's presence but He took me out of my depression and now enjoying the mountain of blessings as the result of it. Now i've known God's love deeply and felt His presence more than ever before. Glory to His Name!!
I have been going through in and out homelessness I just pray my Goodwill blessed me with permanent home I am so tired lord pls bless me . I have walked with you all my life I am 71yr

37:22 praying God finds a home for you God bless you and keep you safe

Powerful message and very encouraging 🙏
I'm doing everything right. While I watch all the sinners get ahead. How much longer Jesus. How much longer
Yes this true in my life, I experienced depression & almost die but I don’t lost my faith & trust to Him, but said Thank God for trials. When you tested & tried me then I shall forth as gold. Praise God!🙏❤️🎊🎉🎈
I am 63 and back in 1993 I tried to commit suicide and I am still alive today. It was not meant to be and I am forever grateful to God because I accepted Christ in January of 2000 And over the past 23 years he has used me to inspire others and encourage those who need it. Praises to God.
Thank you for sharing.
I’ve suffered bouts of depression for most of my life.
I know for me it has come after disappointment, from my own shattered heart, and dreams.
Trusting in God to be my rock, my light in a very dark world is how I intend to walk out the rest of my life.
This message is so powerful, and the second time it has just come up on my feed after a pause In something else I was listening to!
I’m taking this as the Holy Spirit’s urging…
“Be still and listen”✝️🙏🏻
May Lord deliver me from depression 🙏🙏🙏
Excellent message! Thank you Dr. Jeremiah! I needed to hear this message.
God created medicine, and doctors for a reason. For the same reason we have communion, and for others to contribute to a purpose to love others through healing.. God doesn’t want us to suffer continually to the point that we want to commit suicide; and he also doesn’t want us to be to proud to accept help for our mental well being. It is ok to take medicine if you need it. Sometimes God won’t heal us by his own hand directly but that is why he created people to help in those areas so he can work through them. There are plenty of diseases that require medicine for people to survive, and God would want us to take advantage of those gifts that he has given us.
God is my comforter and my Savior Sometimes we go through What Jesus suffered before he died So who better knows what you are suffering ? Trust and Hope No other God can give you Salvation and Redeem you
Amen
I was diagnose August 2009 August,i thanks my church belovers families and DCS colleagues doctors and nurses ,my wife and children for supporting me in that difficult situations,but after 2 years i was anointed abd appointed as senior Pastor in AFM Steynville Hopetown untill currently,All things works together for good❤
This is good❤
Everytime I hear David Jeremiah explain Faith and our Lord God, I understand more and more. It’s a beautiful experience
Thank you so so much! 🙏
Thank you for dealing with depression so sensitively, rawly and Biblically.
My young 13 y.o. neighbor's son killed himself a week ago. It has troubled me so much. He was raised in a christian home and in church, but yet this was his decision. I don't know what to say to them or comfort. I have only known one other person that took their life. It took a long time...a good friend back many years ago. All I know to do is pray for them and depend on God to give them comfort.
I don't know them but I will pray for that situation also❤🙏
Thank you Dr. Jeremiah for this sermon (I saved it so I can listen to it again), I have suffered from depression, anxiety and panic attacks most of my 65 years, I always thought I was disappointing The Lord, I am so thankful that I came across this sermon today, people think that it is something that you just get over, I appreciate that in your sermon you explained it so well. Praise be to Jesus I will overcome.
My dream is to build a house because I live in my hall for a number of years I need my own space so I can. be happy this is what is stressing me .
Yet Jesus lives in my in my heart please smile
Sooo encouraging!!! Thank you. Yes, I’ve thought about death. It would end my despair. But it’s not the answer. And I know God loves me so there is hope. I’ll probably listen to this message repeatedly.
I've been depressed for a while but I told God I'm going to fight the enemy in every way possible and did. I took a cold shower for 3 days in a row and I haven't felt depressed fora few days now 😊
Its horrible to live with depression. My 4 children has abandoned me they don't have time to talk with me anymore 😔 😪 My 3 son's less problem with them, but my daughter said to me don't waste my day because of your sickness 😢😢😢.
David Jeremiah is a great preacher.
