Having been a christian and worship leader for more than 10 years, I never understood what " the valley of the shadow of death" really meant until i fell into deep dark depression last year. I said it and will keep saying it... pastor Louie, your messages were the strings that attached me to Jesus when I was in that deep dark hole. No one has an idea what depression is until they experience it.
@@l.u.5862 hi there sister... please know that i am praying for you. I know exactly what it feels like to be in that place, it still gives me the chills when i remember that period of my life. You might feel like youre literally surrounded by darkness and wondering if God sees you, He Does!! Keep hanging in there, take it minute by minute, look for professional help if you have to, i did and it helped me. Know that many other christians are going through the same thing, you are not alone. Look for testimony from Aaron Kim here on youtube. His testimonies and Louie Giglio's messages kept me going. If you ever want to talk, i am available.
People truly have no idea. Eveybody is telling you to be thankfull, count your blessings and pull yourself up by your bootstraps....get on with it. If only they knew how incredibly hard one fights just to get up out of bed, to face another day when all you want is to lie down and die. Not bc u wànt to die but life is just to painful. U are constantly in a world of pain, quilt and struggle. But they only see the outside, not the fierce fight inside. And it does not take long for your loved ones to get fedup with u and your constant "negativity". You can see their eyes glaze over when u try to reach out, try to explain, try to get help. I have long given up. 2 years ago God brought me out of the darkest dark I have ever been in, praise His Holy name, and I then realized people cant help you only God your Creator. Its going a lot better, every day more and more. You can never expect people to help you, you will never find your way out of the maze. But I am a living testimony that God truly knows, truly loves u, hold u up with His Mighty Right Hand and shows u the Way, the Light. Believe in Him, trust Him and His love and Grace will envelop you, and make u new. it is not easy, it is not quick but it is the only way. Just you and Him, having endless conversations. He does not get tired, frustrated, expect anything of u but to give your everything to Him and He promised to make u whole. God bless
I have been struggling with some pretty severe anxiety for the past 4 months. The ONLY reason I have not gotten into a desperate depression is because I am holding on to the hope of my Jesus.
I need prayer right now so much for this crippling anxiety and depression that has taken me out. I cant function at ALL and i cannot get off the floor. I am frustrating my husband and friends and family. 🙏
Of course, I will pray for you!! I have been exactly where you are at and understand without you saying a word. If I'm not intruding, may I ask how you are doing now around a month later than your comment. I am a Grandmother and you truly touched my ❤Grandma Heart❤. ✨✨You are so precious to your Heavenly Father✨✨. and prayers for you sent up on butterfly wings to land on Jesus's palm. That is my little "visual" of prayer! I do so hope to hear from you. ❤A Tennessee Grandmother
Heartsore because I lost my husband, daughter, husband's carer, grandson and after this my daughter-in-law decided to divorce my son. I love Jesus and God is in control. At 83 years I am waiting for the rapture. God bless you.
Thank God for this encouraging message! It only takes a tiny ray of God's light to break through the darkness! Worship God even when we don't feel like it! Put your hope in God!
God bless you abundantly Louis Giglio, for being brave enough to bring this message to people who suffer so much, because of the insensitivity and ignorance of people calling themselves children of God, regarding mental health illnesses. It is so true - you don't get healed overnight, or maybe ever, but this does not take away the fact that God is The Healer; and if you don't get healed or at least not completely, and have to do what is necessary to live the best life you can with the resources available, for everyone around you's sake, He is still Immanuel - God with us for eternity.
I just listened to this message. I am struggling with myself, and addictions. But God! I too respect anxiety and depression. I took Shelly’s advice to look up. So, I walked outside and looked ⬆️ I saw an ‘X’ in the sky!!!! Wow God is so good. I speak JESUS!!!
Pastor Louie, thank you so much from every ounce of my heart for saying mental health is real. I love you and your wife, and all of your sermons. I reflect deeply and CLING to most of your messages on a regular. To God be the glory, continue to do our Father's will, may peace continue to fill your heart in Jesus name Amen.
This is so critical to hear. . When hope clears the "darkness" even just a tiny fraction that you can feel the shift you know God has you in the palm of His hand.. Blessings to all.
I've been struggling with anxiety depression . I fall asleep ok but I wake up in the middle of the night usually around 2-3am and I can't go back to sleep. This is going on for the last couple of months. PLEASE PRAY God would give me the sweet sleep the Bible promises to those who are HIS Children. Thank you!
So down to earth and so helpful. Couched in a gentle pastoral heart at the start. I've burned myself out on sermons by preachers whose sermons seem like an attempt to teach their entire systematic theology. This was what I needed tonight. Thank you Louie.
Thank you for this reminder 🙏. I too didn’t know what it meant to go through depression, until I was engulfed in this depth and darkness. Nothing stood a chance except the powers of healing and rebuilding from inside out done by my savior Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Thank you Louie for sharing this with the world and pointing it back to our healer 🙏🏼 .. healing may not come today, tomorrow or weeks from now, but God is STILL in the story ❣️
Thank you pastor! That message spoke to me, and I love that God has given you the message and let you speak it so so well! I pray l could find the words that I could or can speak the word of God so perfectly! Thank you, Thank God! Your friend in Christ. Stacy Clinkenbeard
Thank you for this hope-filled message on a very real “thing” that many God loving, God fearing people are experiencing and often times find it impossible to talk about.
Wow, wow, wow, Pastor Louie, this message is for me! As I am listening to this message I have ONLY BEEN ABLE TO KEEP WALKING THROUGH MY SEASON BY WORSHIPPING, PRAISING, HOPING AND TRUSTING GOD, AMEN! Blessings to You and Passion City Church❤
Amen! Great Job Pastor Louie! Very grateful for the time You put into helping Gods Children with anxiety! We all need this and I just want to say Thank You!
If I remember correctly I believe you started playing praise and worship music as well and it lifted you praise the Lord by The imperials is the one that works for me it's an oldie but a goodie Satan is a liar and he wants to make us think that we are paupers but we know where children of the King
I know we don’t know one another, but I’m always available to talk. I’ve been very down in life before, and I know how hard it is to get back to a place of feeling okay.
God please deliver me from anxiety pray for me thank you

Same here. It feels unbearable . I just cry and cry and say Jesus Jesus help me.

Love this guy. I reckon there's no other topic that hits home more than this one!
So down to earth and so helpful. Couched in a gentle pastoral heart at the start.
I've burned myself out on sermons by preachers whose sermons seem like an attempt to teach their entire systematic theology.
This was what I needed tonight. Thank you Louie.
Amazing word! Thank you Pastor Louie and Praise be to God. This really helped me, I'm grateful for you PCC!
