Football, Just kidding (I live in Tennessee so that’s definitely false 😁) Knowing that this is not my home and any struggles that I have are just temporary.
I was in darkness for 42 1/2 years. I tell people I was born depressed. I attempted suicide multiple times starting at the age of 10. They all failed. I did not know Jesus. But I am a living testimony that the moment I met Jesus, He took away that depression. He brought me out of that darkness. He killed those demons that had me in chains. I have been living in the light of life since April 2020. ☮️💜🕊
My husband was abused physically and had cancer as a child, when i met him he stuttered so bad he could barely state his name. Today he speaks clearly, is cancer free, and a great father to both our children. The victory belongs to Jesus!!
Ty for sharing. It is truly beautiful how someone's pain and suffering can look like darkness and a thorn to someone's side...to you it was a way of hope and Glory for living such a man that "others" have turned away so easily. God's love is amazing and you have shown that kind of love. Ty 💓🙏💪
Please pray for me. I lost everything. I had to file bankruptcy and now my son and I are living in my car during this cold winter. Please keep us in your prayers. God give us strength to get through this challenging time. 🙏
Lord, I lift up @April-uu2nt and her son. You know them and see what they are going through. God, I ask that you would be with them. Cover them in your grace and love. I pray that you would give them strength and courage. Lord, let those around them speak truth and light into their life. Continue to be with them during this time. In Jesus' name, amen.
I'm young, and I was a kid at the time, but something very similar happened to me when I was in 7th and 8th grade. Friends and family we had known for years turned on us. Me and my family of six lived in a fifth wheel camper for two years. It was hard, but we still had a few friends and family to pray for us in this time. With the peace that passeth all understanding, we got through it. I know it was much harder on my parents, but still. Now I want to write a prayer down, and I want to tell you that I'm going to pray for you. Dear Lord, pray for this person, and Thier son. I pray that you can keep them safe and warm, and give them a friend to help them. Lord, lead them to a good gospel preaching church, if they aren't already in one. Lord thank you for your mercies and graces, and in Jesus name, amen.
@@MrsBullfinchalso anyone living there where she lives , can help her find shelter. Praying with not helping is pointless ! I know those who knew my situation would say “ am praying for you “ what’s prayers good to do ? God sent me to them to help me and my child. Praying to God God doesn’t help physically. He sends people. He sends messages to them. But they shut the door on me. Yet these same people helped and confirm to help those with status ( esp financial ). Go figure the so called pious ones who selected status to help those who were and are NOT in need
Its been years...I don't know what to do..I have lupus n have no help from my kid's dad.. I have to go to work make the money buy the groceries c about the child bathe the dog clean the house wash the clothes..while I man I live with just has unpaid hobbies but guilt trips me when I talk bout it..I am at my whits end
I'm impressed with these two lines " Your emotions are valid" But they're not permanent🥰 "Your situation feels hopeless"But with God there is always hope🥰🥰
I needed to hear this message. I’ve been dealing with OCD/Depression & Anxiety since I was 19, but God has never left me. He has been in the pit with me. When no one else could understand me. I love you God and I’ll carry my cross as I wait for your crown knowing that you are helping me bear its weight. ❤
@Yulezzz7044, your faith in God's presence through your struggles is inspiring. Remember His promise: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed" (Psalm 34:18, NLT). Keep trusting Him-He is your strength and comfort. ❤
I went to my church this morning very depressed, my friends aren't helping because they never battled it. Saw this in my notifications and it has helped a lot!
Yeah. If you wont suffer from it you wouldnt understand what mental illness mean. Some of my Christian friends called me "crazy" "psycho". No one can help us but ourselves with God alone.
@@izalavado6706 i truly question if those people are Christians. If they are, they are very immature Christians. I am 47 years old and finally got put on my first anti-depression medication and I already notice a difference. It just stinks that I spent so many years in depression instead of seeking help because of all of the other Christians who want to act like true Christians don’t struggle with depression.
Only God can help. Most people try but cannot really understand. I pray God guides you toward the help you need to feel better. Hang in there. God uses everything for good. Big Hugs 🤗
Yeah. Thing is when they're not in it, people don't understand. It's really hard for me to open up to people and easier to isolate which makes it more dangerous. There were times I wanted to give up but aside from knowing that Jesus has a purpose and plan for my life, the fact is life will come to an end one day anyway. We all have something to give while we're here. People may or may not appreciate it, but God sees. He got me through a lot and it's for a purpose. We'll use what we have gone through to help those who may not be as strong as us. 🙏
I’ve been battling depression for over 30 years, this is a very accurate teaching 🙏🏼 I walk in victory every day, not because of my strength but because I get to open His treasure of NEW MERCIES every morning 🙏🏼💥
That's absolutely wonderful! Such a powerful story, thank you for sharing. I am so so happy for you, friend. God bless you and may the peace of God that transcends all understanding guard your heart and mind in Him❤
I was suicidal for such a long time but when I truly understand the words of God my depression went away.I listen to motivational talk like this everyday so I can go on with my life.God is really good 😊
I pray for everyone that is going through Depression. This is my encouragement to you because I lived in it. There is hope in Jesus Christ. God is willing and able to heal you, it may be in a moment or it may be in a journey but he will give you the strength no matter what. He will lead you to the people and things you need. Keep running to him in your times of darkness and don’t you quit.
Good words of edification, hope, and encouragement to everybody here. You're a real life, walking Testimony of God's goodness, This is exactly what others need to hear. A real life true story, coming directly from the horse mouth. Not some story about other people's experiences, being told by a 3rd person. Thanks for sharing and God Bless You for being Obedient unto Him...
Lord please give me the strength I need to get through this depression and shut down state. I am feeling sad, low, empty and tired. Please bring me peace and joy lord.

First , I’m thankful I found your ministry. I have full blown depression, which started at 4 and now I’m 74. I would like to have a few years or whatever God has for me to see what it would be like to be “normal” I do pray always for hope. At least I’m closer to heaven, there I will be celebrating! Praise God 😊

I have no real reason to be depressed. I know I’m greatly blessed. But there are those days like today that I felt sadness and once I named my emotion, it went away. “I’m broken, sad, and tired” the emotions vanished. Praised God!

It caught up to me, my ego and pride made me keep everything inside. Made me bitter/angry, always felt I had a black cloud over me. My mind was in complete negative evil. I pushed everyone away, cost me a lot. I finally hit rock bottom, I couldn’t get out of bed or leave my house. My relationship was hanging on by a thread, I blame myself for that. I wasn’t a good person. I did something I never did one night, I felt down and cried. Like I’ve never done. I prayed for everything, I vowed to never hurt anyone again. I had a lot of shame and guilt. He heard me, I was scared to death. Remember religion wasn’t in my life. I just woke up, I started to pay attention to things happening around me and in my life. Not coincidences anymore. Had things just started happening to me, friend sent me a Bible. Long story short I’ve been broken down mentally and I’m being rebuilt. Pray daily, in fact constantly “talk to myself” thought I was losing it. Best conversation ever. I was talking to god. Journal a lot, started the gym and I was anti gym. Church every Sunday, and I’m studying the Bible! I’m so intrigued by learning now, I wear my emotions on my sleeve now. Cry a lot, guess maybe it’s still shame I have. I continue to ask for forgiveness and honesty I don’t think I deserve it. I’m gaining more and more strength everyday, we can’t give up. I had no foundation in my life. I have that now and I’m practicing my gratitude everyday. Thankful. I feel for you all, I feel for humanity period. I know so many hurt inside, and mask it on outside. I was there. People need people. We have to communicate and I can’t stop now. My history is long, and I’m sure many on here is as well. It’s been a blessing for me to find life church Albany. I’ve been faithful every Sunday since Easter of 2022. It’s saved my life. ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
God comforts you so you can comfort others! I pray you stay steadfast and share the love you have for and found in Christ with others. Forgive yourself because God already has!! This is a beautiful testimony! I thank God for your life! God bless you, i pray He uses you to touch all those who encounter Christ through you! You are fearfully and wonderfully made and God will use you as His vessel. Let Him! Trust Him and never let go! (my life was similar to yours) This is encouragement from a fellow lover of Christ. I come into agreement for whosoever you pray for through the body of Christ in Jesus' mighty name!
I’m fighting a severe case of “complex PTSD.” Depression has been there my whole life, looking back. Presently, things actives this CPTSD, I’m learning to put God’s Hope/ my depression and it’s helping. I do have to get honest with self, found source (named it) of depression and now I’m Healing leaps and bounds. So much more healing to come but so grateful for our Healer and God’s Word and all his people that work so hard to help others. ❤🙏 ✝️bless this site and all my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I went through a deep depression for over 2yrs I thought it would never end, I had some suicidal thoughts, but didn't try it. I felt trapped but I still stayed in Church and a Bible study. I praise God for rescuing me from the deep pit I wad in
I’ve struggled with depression, especially since going through certain life circumstances. And I am still battling it. I really appreciate this message. Thank you for acknowledging depression without adding shame. I’m grateful for this month focusing on mental health. Thank you

I've been struggling with the physical pain of depression each morning lately. Mostly external circumstances. I don't feel a sense of purpose. I don't know where my life is headed, and the man I thought was my husband ended our relationship. Thank you for sharing this teaching, and prayer! ❤🙏
Lord, I lift up Katrina Sager. You know them and see what they are going through. God, I ask that you would be with them. Cover them in your grace and love. I pray that you would give them strength and courage. Lord, let those around them speak truth and light into their life. Continue to be with them during this time. In Your name, amen.
I love this pastor. He is so real and not afraid to show emotion. With being this vulnerable he also touches the hearts of broken hearted people. I thank God for a church like this. Talking about reallife subjects❤ I pray for healing for all the people with depression in the comments.
I'm battling depression now. After my marriage ended, I claimed bankruptcy, moved 65 miles away from my children and started again in another city (London). After 8 years I'm still trying to find Gods place and purpose for me. I have ADHD and depression, little money, few friends and no partner. All I want to do is sleep and pray. I have no energy, motivation or enthusiasm. I just want this sadness and emptiness gone. Can't remember the last time I was truly happy and at peace.
Father I speak life into your son, new strength your strength. To get back up, that you would turn this entire situation out for his good and your glory (Romans 8:28). Have you tried reading the Bible daily? That is where our joy comes from when we fill it with His word. I used to battle with depression and when I read the word of God it could not stay because I was full of His word. Man should not live by bread alone but by the word of God. God Bless you brother, the Lord will restore! Myriam - LC Social Media Team
When depressed, nothing. No matter how hard I try, nothing brings hope because nothing feels real or true except that fact I am worthless, sad, pathetic, hurt, failing my family, and shameful that I am like this. I know God is bigger & has better for me & even when I no longer want to live a song comes on the radio speaking exactly what I imagine He might be saying to keep my going. Yet my mind says I am alone. Abandoned. So full of a roller coaster of emotions that I wish my mind could just be still & quiet, even an hour. All I can say is Help. Please God help me. I am begging you God to carry me through this because I cannot do it on my own. I give it up to him. All prayers appreciated
I know your feeling because I was there not long ago, there is hope and I am praying! I believe through the power of Christ you will soon be healed! God bless! ❤
Hello Tiffany, have you thought of going to therapy? It is a real struggle to fight depression alone, I am also a psychologist and I request you to tell me what you would like to know about depression that you feel can help someone like like to cope effectively. If I was your therapist, what would you like to achieve through our interaction together? Which goals will you set in therapy?
I am so happy a church is addressing with gods word what is so incredibly needed in our world. I’ve lost so many people with no hope and no god. This is real this is why god is more important then ever. Thank you for help ending the stigma on mental health. God bless ❤️
I'm really glad that you all are focusing on mental health issues. Many churches are afraid to touch on this because it's almost viewed as a sin or weakness to have mental health issues. Thank you so much for shining a light into this area of darkness that plagues so many people.
Depression and anxiety are chasing me since 12 years, its hell. I am running from docter to doctor, from therapist to psychiatrist. And its not over. Some time ago i opened a small door and i called out for Jesus. I only called once and he came to stay. Its a journey, the depression is not gone, the road is narrow, but i asked for help and I received it. There is hope for all of us 🙏

This is a topic people don't take serious. If you have family , friend, or coworker struggling pray for them. Uplift them you could be a light that could save them. Don't talk ,and bring them down,or make them feel like what they are suffering isn't real. God keep our hearts ,and minds....renew us each day. ✝️
I love how Pastor Craig said maybe a good word will be enough to get you through the day, the hour, or the minute, and that there will be another good word the next minute you need it. That's the best statement of hope I've ever heard. Beautiful Life.Truth!
You know what brings me hope? Binge watching The Chosen. When I’m depressed, watching Jesus episodes , watching Jesus with the little children, watching Jesus turn water into wine at a wedding, watching Jesus making people laugh, watching him do miracles! Jesus is the Wonderful One! Also watching old ALF shows make me laugh. Gallagher too.😢😅
I am totally convinced that God wants me happy, thankful and victorious. God helps me renewing my mind daily. I thank you my Lord. There is hope. Bless all who spread your Word. 🙏
Yesterday was Christmas Day, I could barely make it through as I felt so lost and afraid. I went to sleep last night and just prayed that today would be better. It wasn’t, but I came on UA-cam searching for God and Depression and found this video. 3 months ago this was posted but I found this relevant today. What you are doing and how you are spreading messages works, you are saving people even if it’s for just 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes I felt okay. Thank you and God bless you.
Charlotte, Praise God that he put this message in front of you when you needed it. I love how God makes those events work. I'm so sorry you had a hard day yesterday and today. Praying God is with you and for you in all you need. Laura - Team LC
Wow, it's the first time I followed a message that has had actual sympathy for depression sufferers. Ok so everybody always preaches about depression and sometimes I would stop listening to those teachings because throwing Bible verses at depressed people are simply not the right solution. What about the people that are living with depressed people? My wife is suffering from depression and in February she had a total mental meltdown. Due to her depression, she lost her job, lost friends and our marriage were damaged to such an extent that we almost ended in divorce. To live with a depressed person is not easy and I am the only breadwinner in the household. When my wife had her meltdown we saw people's true colors and realized that even well-educated people do not have any clue how to handle depressed people. Non-depressed people should be educated on how to handle depressed people. Thank you for this message and thanks to your message today I am considering starting a workshop to educate non-depressed people on how to live and handle depressed people.
That's right. For many people they will ridicule/dismiss what they don't understand. Then for others because they can't magically fix you, they'll desert you. Ostracising you when you need love, not judgement. I've had it happen to me and it's really harmed my ability to trust again. I'm so glad messages like this are out there because they remind me that not every church misses the mark on stuff like this.
@@maruiscordier2042 that's wonderful to hear! I don't know your church or pastor, but this series is helping me as I go through a physical challenge. It's been 3 months. I'm feeling despair.
Thank you for sharing what you’re feeling. We created a guide to working through anxiety that’s full of encouragement and resources. You can check it out here: go2.lc/findpeace
When I thought i was too hard for even God to fix, I came across Jeremiah 32:17. Toward the end of this verse, it says, there is nothing too hard for Thee. From deep within, I thought "even me". There really is nothing too hard for Him!
It’s so amazing that he is talking about the different root causes of depression instead of saying those who are depressed just are giving it to God, aren’t relying on him, etc. I have met pastors who believe depression isn’t real and unfortunately I watched it drive many Christians away. This is such a good message!
Yep. I'm one of them who was driven away at one point. Thankfully messages like this help remind me that not all churches miss the mark on subjects like this. It's so, so welcome from me as it's a subject prone to stigmatisation even in church environs. #endmentalhealthstigma
I have experienced depression and anxiety. It is a vacuum that slowly consumes you. At times, it was difficult to even listen to the Word. Depression closed off my ability to listen and reason. However, I was able to crawl out from it and it did take a lot of self prayer. Labeling my fears definitely allowed me to realize that they were not as ominous as my emotions were making them. Again, it was a slow process that involved making many healthy choices and having faith. I could not have done it alone. Those around me acknowledged my situation and gave me support instead of empty words such as, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Any one who has suffered with depression knows that just can't happen. Thank you, because I have to work every day to keep me from ever falling back. I am weak without God, but there is hope in God.
I want everyone to know that who is battling depression, that you're not alone. No matter how much you want to give up, you didn't. You've made it this far. With God all things are possible. You are a conqueror. You are a warrior. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Our victory is in Jesus. The war is already won. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I love you brothers in sisters in Christ Jesus. May God strengthen and bless every one of you. Amen.
I really needed to hear this, it hit home so hard. Depression, hopelessness and fear has stunned me for years after I got out of the Marine Corps. Once I rededicated my life to God, and stepped on the path that I knew I was called to, things got better. But as soon as I graduated college I thought this is it, I’ve got my training I can minister now. But I got so wrapped up in doing I began to feel depression come back and swallow me, I feel like I cry out sometimes and it hits the roof. Which I know isn’t true, but I know He is there, I’m the one who became stagnant and complacent. I just want to walk in His joy and His peace again. Thank you so much for this pastor.
It's my first month here in the US, my wife came here 4 months earlier. The day before my flight coming here, my wife called and confessed to me that she had an affair. I was so crushed I didn't know what to feel. I couldn't share it to my church friends because they might judge my wife. Now I feel like I'm a walking dead, no hope, no strength, so insecure, no future to hold on to, no hope for marriage, can't trust God anymore, especially can't trust my wife. I have been following this series and made me cry all the time. Gives me hope to continue my walk in faith with the the Lord. It encourages me to continue with my marriage, that it's okay not to have a perfect marriage, to accept her imperfections and her failure. Thank God for using Ptr Craig and the church to encourage depressed and hopeless people like me.

I have lived with anxiety disorder for over 8 years now but each day God is teaching me alot and its getting better. I am encouraged and I know I shall one day stand up and testify that God healed me completely. Its never too late for God each minute is an opportunity to enjoy Gods salvation and healing. Thank you for this wonderful word of God it shall not come back empty.
I surrender to you Jesus fill me with your spirit. I cast out all feelings of anxieties, despair, jealousy, hatred, and anger, and I say be gone/ removed. In Jesus name, Amen.
I usually don’t comment on a video but this video broke my heart because I understood almost every word. Especially the very last part where you asked the live and online audience to lift up their hands in prayer. Explaining how some feel “far from God or ashamed because of their sin”. I repented of course before watching this video but that unbearable guilt of still feeling not good enough. Romans 8:38-39 is my usual go-to mental health hotline verse. Amen, and thank you for this beautiful message.
Thank you so much! It’s devastating to hear someone accuse you of having little faith, or no faith at all or unbelief when one has depression! In many churches this is a standard way of thinking, thus the sufferer of depression hides it and can’t get the support he or she needs from the body of Christ. I’m grateful for your message
@6.48 you said "you might have chronic pain that's certainly not your fault, that's just leading you into a state of darkness". I needed to hear that at this very moment. Thank you, Pastor.
It's great you are dealing with this. It helps to know that even the great men of God have suffered from depression. Reading The PSALMS has really helped me over the years
As someone who has battled with anxiety and depression for over 10 years now, it's so, SO good seeing responsible teaching like this. We need love, NOT judgement in our struggle. We need the practical wisdom whilst being reminded we are not going crazy and simultaneously being pointed back to God as our Author and "very present help in times of trouble" (Psalm 46v1). Thank you so, so much for this series Life.Church 💗 ❤ 🙏🏼
Jesu ! I know you're there, is hard for me now but I know you know me and what's troubling me. I hand it over to you and I know it will pass and my light will break out. Amen

This is one of the first sermons I've heard that doesn't say things like "You just need to pray more." Or "There must be sin in your life." "You just haven't freely surrendered to Jesus." Your message helped give me a little more hope, and I'll take any I can get!

I have been going to cancer center with my husband who has it but it was like a nightmare seeing all the really sick people it is so hard to take in I sit there for hours seeing people come and go that are really sick I decided instead of going crazy inside I would pray for healing for each person and now it is kinda bearable but it broke my heart too much I am so tender hearted
Hi! I came here for this! I have been contemplating taking medicine again and was looking for confirmation. It's okay. I also see an amazing counselor.
This is so powerful! I have turned my back on the power of God & His faithfulness, but this has spoken to me so deeply. I am in a really dark place right now & to know that I don’t need to be defined by this, and that this is not permanent. Thank you Thank you for speaking on this issue of depression & hope!
Dear Father God, we lift up Joanleking5225; Your are not your pastl You are not what you did. You are not what others have done to you. You are not who other say you are. You are loved, forgiven, redeemed, and set free. The next time you are faced with regret of the past, remind yourself remind yourself of the future you have in God. There is not sin too great for His grace. There is no label too strong for His love. You are never too far gone. God can still use you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen. Ramy Team LC

Everyone's journey's is diffrent and everyone's healing process is different. Thank you for this message. It touched me and helped replace some thoughts with truth "emotions aren't permanent" and "with God there's always hope"! I battle with social anxiety dissorder (almost 20 yrs now) and it grew to generalized dissorder, which also drains my energy and depression kicks in when I have no more strenght. God speaks to me on a regular bassis and tells me He is right here with me in this sickness and in this process of healing (in the fire with me). I have discovered traits of God's character which I think I would have never encountered not being in this dark place. Just goes to show that no matter how deep in darkness you are, God is right there with you, that "hesed" word I see it, I see it in Him. I would appreciate your prayers very much. God has brought me through a lot already and I know He is not done! God bless you all! 🙏💝

Learn to just be still and let life happen. Trust that this will all come together very soon. Meanwhile, know that you are loved and all of us here are pulling for you.
i’ve gone through a lot this year! sadly, i lost most of my school friends, lost my grandpa during april and developed anxiety! then, depression during june! and i hate this year with a passion because it’s a version of myself that i NEVER would’ve suspected to come and have heard negative comments towards my season but like Pastor Craig said, it’s only temporary! don’t let people bring you guys down just because of what you’re going through! you’re a faithful loving Christian despite what you go through! God made us and knew how we are! no one can tell you how close you are to God or not! 🤍 keep fighting guys!
God Bless us all! I’ve been in the Lord’s arms & he sent me back, because he had work for me to finish. May the Lord reveal to all, how special we are as his children.
Thx 🙏 ☺️ This is just the message I needed to hear 👂 rt now.. 💕 It’s a nice reminder that even for us that feel totally alone in life God still cares & loves us.. we are not alone. We at least have God if no one else.. Amen 🙏
I’m glad that the church is talking about this and that it doesn’t mean that there’s not hope in God or that people aren’t trusting in God. It’s an illness that needs spiritual, physical and psychological treatment
Thank you Life Church and Craig Groschel for addressing the real things in life that many do not know how to express... ❤🙏🙏🙏 Love and Blessings to LC from Germany!
Depression is in my home. I pray daily and I’m still struggling but I’m keeping faith that things will get better and this message found me today in a dark place and I feel it has helped me to have hope. To anyone reading this a quick prayer on my behalf would be much appreciated.

Hello from Greece 🇬🇷💙I'm feeling sad🙁I'm worry about my daughter Anna, she seems far away most of the time, from us, and she doesn't want to go to church.

Growing up in a Hispanic church mental health was never talked about & if someone was suffering they weren’t “religious” enough or close to God. I’ve had anxiety all my life due to traumatic events that happened to me growing up. I had people rebuke me! Tell me I’m not close to God. I finally decided to tell my family what had happened to me. I’m getting therapy, prayers from family and friends. I still struggle at times with anxiety, but I’m doing so much better. I just want to let everyone know you got this!!!! It’s going to be hard and sometimes you just don’t want to get up because it hurts to even breathe. Your body is tired and beat. But! You got this.
I tried to write u a message. Anyway, it's a problem not just for Hispanic churches! I'm as pale and Northern European as they come ! and it's a subject not talked about except in whispers! If at all....
Thank the Lord for leàding me to you today. A day when I truly need. Need help and thru U I have been put on this blessed path. Thankyou and thankyou in the name of jesus 🙏😌

My family is the worst to turn to. They say exactly what you said, "pull out of it, be stronger, smarter, etc. do this, do that..." as if those things can prevent the emotions from happening.
God, thank you for deliverance from deep darkness and evil around and throughout the earth in Jesus mighty name. Thank you for saving us all out of it. Thank you for having plans for us and for the redemption of our church members and soon to be church members In Jesus mighty name. Amen 🙏

What's something that brings you hope?
worship, exercise are two things
Jesus is coming back to grab all of us believers, the happy ones and the depressed ones, we will never have to feel pain and sorrow ever again!
Knowing that God loves me and wants me.
Reading my Bible every day and then journalling what I find therein.
Football,
Just kidding (I live in Tennessee so that’s definitely false 😁)
Knowing that this is not my home and any struggles that I have are just temporary.
I was in darkness for 42 1/2 years. I tell people I was born depressed. I attempted suicide multiple times starting at the age of 10. They all failed. I did not know Jesus. But I am a living testimony that the moment I met Jesus, He took away that depression. He brought me out of that darkness. He killed those demons that had me in chains. I have been living in the light of life since April 2020. ☮️💜🕊
Please don’t judge Christians who are depressed.
Ayeee that’s soo awsome!
God
Is
good
All the time, and
All
The time
God is
Good
Praise the Lord 🎉
I am very happy God brought you out of depression and you are here today with us. Praise God
Thank you for this testimony!!! I have this and it runs in my family!!! Along with drug addiction and suicides.
Jesus, HELP us!!!
My husband was abused physically and had cancer as a child, when i met him he stuttered so bad he could barely state his name. Today he speaks clearly, is cancer free, and a great father to both our children. The victory belongs to Jesus!!
No sorry, the victory belongs to your husband. Jesus had nothing to do with it.
That is so great to hear♥️ thank you Jesus
Amen 🙏
@@timdetmers3240are you doing okay?
Ty for sharing. It is truly beautiful how someone's pain and suffering can look like darkness and a thorn to someone's side...to you it was a way of hope and Glory for living such a man that "others" have turned away so easily. God's love is amazing and you have shown that kind of love. Ty 💓🙏💪
Please pray for me. I lost everything. I had to file bankruptcy and now my son and I are living in my car during this cold winter. Please keep us in your prayers. God give us strength to get through this challenging time. 🙏
Lord, I lift up @April-uu2nt and her son. You know them and see what they are going through. God, I ask that you would be with them. Cover them in your grace and love. I pray that you would give them strength and courage. Lord, let those around them speak truth and light into their life. Continue to be with them during this time. In Jesus' name, amen.
Abba Daddy , send someone in the name of Jesus who brings them into a warm place in your precious name Jesus, Amen
I'm young, and I was a kid at the time, but something very similar happened to me when I was in 7th and 8th grade. Friends and family we had known for years turned on us. Me and my family of six lived in a fifth wheel camper for two years. It was hard, but we still had a few friends and family to pray for us in this time. With the peace that passeth all understanding, we got through it. I know it was much harder on my parents, but still. Now I want to write a prayer down, and I want to tell you that I'm going to pray for you. Dear Lord, pray for this person, and Thier son. I pray that you can keep them safe and warm, and give them a friend to help them. Lord, lead them to a good gospel preaching church, if they aren't already in one. Lord thank you for your mercies and graces, and in Jesus name, amen.
@@MrsBullfinchalso anyone living there where she lives , can help her find shelter. Praying with not helping is pointless ! I know those who knew my situation would say “ am praying for you “ what’s prayers good to do ? God sent me to them to help me and my child. Praying to God God doesn’t help physically. He sends people. He sends messages to them. But they shut the door on me. Yet these same people helped and confirm to help those with status ( esp financial ). Go figure the so called pious ones who selected status to help those who were and are NOT in need
Its been years...I don't know what to do..I have lupus n have no help from my kid's dad.. I have to go to work make the money buy the groceries c about the child bathe the dog clean the house wash the clothes..while I man I live with just has unpaid hobbies but guilt trips me when I talk bout it..I am at my whits end
I'm impressed with these two lines
" Your emotions are valid" But they're not permanent🥰
"Your situation feels hopeless"But with God there is always hope🥰🥰
Amen! ❤️ - Heather, Team LC

Those words made me cry.

I needed to hear this message. I’ve been dealing with OCD/Depression & Anxiety since I was 19, but God has never left me. He has been in the pit with me. When no one else could understand me. I love you God and I’ll carry my cross as I wait for your crown knowing that you are helping me bear its weight. ❤
@Yulezzz7044, your faith in God's presence through your struggles is inspiring. Remember His promise: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed" (Psalm 34:18, NLT). Keep trusting Him-He is your strength and comfort. ❤
More churches need to speak about this. It’s very very real and tests us to our absolute core
I AGREE!!
Agree they should start depression grp just like aa grps
They are ignorant because they think God should heal alone without anyone’s help. But God uses people to help us.
I went to my church this morning very depressed, my friends aren't helping because they never battled it. Saw this in my notifications and it has helped a lot!
Exactly - if you haven’t battled it - you don’t know. Stay on the journey - this world needs you ❤️🩹
Yeah. If you wont suffer from it you wouldnt understand what mental illness mean. Some of my Christian friends called me "crazy" "psycho". No one can help us but ourselves with God alone.
@@izalavado6706 i truly question if those people are Christians. If they are, they are very immature Christians. I am 47 years old and finally got put on my first anti-depression medication and I already notice a difference. It just stinks that I spent so many years in depression instead of seeking help because of all of the other Christians who want to act like true Christians don’t struggle with depression.
Only God can help. Most people try but cannot really understand. I pray God guides you toward the help you need to feel better. Hang in there. God uses everything for good. Big Hugs 🤗
Yeah. Thing is when they're not in it, people don't understand. It's really hard for me to open up to people and easier to isolate which makes it more dangerous. There were times I wanted to give up but aside from knowing that Jesus has a purpose and plan for my life, the fact is life will come to an end one day anyway. We all have something to give while we're here. People may or may not appreciate it, but God sees. He got me through a lot and it's for a purpose. We'll use what we have gone through to help those who may not be as strong as us. 🙏
I’ve been battling depression for over 30 years, this is a very accurate teaching 🙏🏼 I walk in victory every day, not because of my strength but because I get to open His treasure of NEW MERCIES every morning 🙏🏼💥
Have you ever tried any medication
That's absolutely wonderful! Such a powerful story, thank you for sharing. I am so so happy for you, friend. God bless you and may the peace of God that transcends all understanding guard your heart and mind in Him❤
God Bless you! May he continue to hold you close, walk with you every step, and give you grace in your suffering. 🙏🏻
I am afraid...fear is just too much... hopeless coz of betrayal
Thanks Anna, very encouraging
I was suicidal for such a long time but when I truly understand the words of God my depression went away.I listen to motivational talk like this everyday so I can go on with my life.God is really good 😊

I pray for everyone that is going through Depression. This is my encouragement to you because I lived in it. There is hope in Jesus Christ. God is willing and able to heal you, it may be in a moment or it may be in a journey but he will give you the strength no matter what. He will lead you to the people and things you need. Keep running to him in your times of darkness and don’t you quit.
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm 70. Just when am I going to be delivered, I wonder, cuz I'm 70 and about out of time! 🤔

I have no real reason to be depressed. I know I’m greatly blessed. But there are those days like today that I felt sadness and once I named my emotion, it went away. “I’m broken, sad, and tired” the emotions vanished. Praised God!

Please 🙏 for me I hate this depression, no motivation , sleeping is off eating everything, not happy at all 😢😢😢😥
It caught up to me, my ego and pride made me keep everything inside. Made me bitter/angry, always felt I had a black cloud over me. My mind was in complete negative evil. I pushed everyone away, cost me a lot. I finally hit rock bottom, I couldn’t get out of bed or leave my house. My relationship was hanging on by a thread, I blame myself for that. I wasn’t a good person. I did something I never did one night, I felt down and cried. Like I’ve never done. I prayed for everything, I vowed to never hurt anyone again. I had a lot of shame and guilt. He heard me, I was scared to death. Remember religion wasn’t in my life. I just woke up, I started to pay attention to things happening around me and in my life. Not coincidences anymore. Had things just started happening to me, friend sent me a Bible. Long story short I’ve been broken down mentally and I’m being rebuilt. Pray daily, in fact constantly “talk to myself” thought I was losing it. Best conversation ever. I was talking to god. Journal a lot, started the gym and I was anti gym. Church every Sunday, and I’m studying the Bible! I’m so intrigued by learning now, I wear my emotions on my sleeve now. Cry a lot, guess maybe it’s still shame I have. I continue to ask for forgiveness and honesty I don’t think I deserve it. I’m gaining more and more strength everyday, we can’t give up. I had no foundation in my life. I have that now and I’m practicing my gratitude everyday. Thankful. I feel for you all, I feel for humanity period. I know so many hurt inside, and mask it on outside. I was there. People need people. We have to communicate and I can’t stop now. My history is long, and I’m sure many on here is as well. It’s been a blessing for me to find life church Albany. I’ve been faithful every Sunday since Easter of 2022. It’s saved my life. ❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing your story. Prayer is so important.
Exactly the same for me and my situation. Word for word. I’m holding on but I’m hurting so bad
❤🤗☝️❤️
So glad to hear your story hang in there & God bless you !!!
God comforts you so you can comfort others! I pray you stay steadfast and share the love you have for and found in Christ with others. Forgive yourself because God already has!! This is a beautiful testimony! I thank God for your life! God bless you, i pray He uses you to touch all those who encounter Christ through you! You are fearfully and wonderfully made and God will use you as His vessel. Let Him! Trust Him and never let go! (my life was similar to yours) This is encouragement from a fellow lover of Christ. I come into agreement for whosoever you pray for through the body of Christ in Jesus' mighty name!
I’m fighting a severe case of “complex PTSD.” Depression has been there my whole life, looking back.
Presently, things actives this CPTSD, I’m learning to put God’s Hope/ my depression and it’s helping.
I do have to get honest with self, found source (named it) of depression and now I’m Healing leaps and bounds. So much more healing to come but so grateful for our Healer and God’s Word and all his people that work so hard to help others.

I've been struggling with the physical pain of depression each morning lately. Mostly external circumstances. I don't feel a sense of purpose. I don't know where my life is headed, and the man I thought was my husband ended our relationship. Thank you for sharing this teaching, and prayer! ❤🙏
Lord, I lift up Katrina Sager. You know them and see what they are going through. God, I ask that you would be with them. Cover them in your grace and love. I pray that you would give them strength and courage. Lord, let those around them speak truth and light into their life. Continue to be with them during this time. In Your name, amen.
Ending relationships can give trauma and depression, dealing with it myself. I know your hurt!
🙏🏼 I'm going through it too, I can't believe it, I just pray to get through it somehow
I love this pastor. He is so real and not afraid to show emotion. With being this vulnerable he also touches the hearts of broken hearted people. I thank God for a church like this. Talking about reallife subjects❤ I pray for healing for all the people with depression in the comments.
I'm battling depression now. After my marriage ended, I claimed bankruptcy, moved 65 miles away from my children and started again in another city (London). After 8 years I'm still trying to find Gods place and purpose for me. I have ADHD and depression, little money, few friends and no partner. All I want to do is sleep and pray. I have no energy, motivation or enthusiasm. I just want this sadness and emptiness gone. Can't remember the last time I was truly happy and at peace.
Father I speak life into your son, new strength your strength. To get back up, that you would turn this entire situation out for his good and your glory (Romans 8:28). Have you tried reading the Bible daily? That is where our joy comes from when we fill it with His word. I used to battle with depression and when I read the word of God it could not stay because I was full of His word. Man should not live by bread alone but by the word of God.
God Bless you brother, the Lord will restore!

Have you tried meds? I know that feeling of wanting only to sleep. May God be with you
When depressed, nothing. No matter how hard I try, nothing brings hope because nothing feels real or true except that fact I am worthless, sad, pathetic, hurt, failing my family, and shameful that I am like this. I know God is bigger & has better for me & even when I no longer want to live a song comes on the radio speaking exactly what I imagine He might be saying to keep my going. Yet my mind says I am alone. Abandoned. So full of a roller coaster of emotions that I wish my mind could just be still & quiet, even an hour. All I can say is Help. Please God help me. I am begging you God to carry me through this because I cannot do it on my own. I give it up to him. All prayers appreciated
I know your feeling because I was there not long ago, there is hope and I am praying! I believe through the power of Christ you will soon be healed! God bless! ❤
Have you received god at church? Have they done a liberation at church? I have kwon lot of people that God gave them breakthrough, including me
I pray that God will heal you completely and forever. Although you wrote two months ago I will pray for you.
Hello Tiffany, have you thought of going to therapy? It is a real struggle to fight depression alone, I am also a psychologist and I request you to tell me what you would like to know about depression that you feel can help someone like like to cope effectively. If I was your therapist, what would you like to achieve through our interaction together? Which goals will you set in therapy?
Sending you so much love, kindness and I wish you find help you truly deserve. I believe in you, you are worthy, loved, valued, a resource, powerful,
Even if it’s day by day or hour by hour. His word and my faith in him will get me through the darkness ahead. Amen
I can only live one day or 1 hour at a time!!!
Amen

I am so happy a church is addressing with gods word what is so incredibly needed in our world. I’ve lost so many people with no hope and no god. This is real this is why god is more important then ever. Thank you for help ending the stigma on mental health. God bless ❤️

I lay my depression on the altar for you. Thank you Jesus! There is hope.

I'm really glad that you all are focusing on mental health issues. Many churches are afraid to touch on this because it's almost viewed as a sin or weakness to have mental health issues. Thank you so much for shining a light into this area of darkness that plagues so many people.

Depression and anxiety are chasing me since 12 years, its hell. I am running from docter to doctor, from therapist to psychiatrist. And its not over. Some time ago i opened a small door and i called out for Jesus. I only called once and he came to stay. Its a journey, the depression is not gone, the road is narrow, but i asked for help and I received it. There is hope for all of us 🙏

You got through it? I suppose when it was happening did it feel like it would ever end
This is a topic people don't take serious. If you have family , friend, or coworker struggling pray for them. Uplift them you could be a light that could save them. Don't talk ,and bring them down,or make them feel like what they are suffering isn't real. God keep our hearts ,and minds....renew us each day. ✝️
Yes!
Exactly! I believe we can pick up on others feelings without them saying anything.
I love how Pastor Craig said maybe a good word will be enough to get you through the day, the hour, or the minute, and that there will be another good word the next minute you need it. That's the best statement of hope I've ever heard. Beautiful Life.Truth!
You know what brings me hope? Binge watching The Chosen. When I’m depressed, watching Jesus episodes , watching Jesus with the little children, watching Jesus turn water into wine at a wedding, watching Jesus making people laugh, watching him do miracles! Jesus is the Wonderful One! Also watching old ALF shows make me laugh. Gallagher too.😢😅
I am totally convinced that God wants me happy, thankful and victorious. God helps me renewing my mind daily. I thank you my Lord. There is hope. Bless all who spread your Word. 🙏
Amen, need this so bad. I have been buried with almost everything you listed off at once. I surrender it all Jesus
Yesterday was Christmas Day, I could barely make it through as I felt so lost and afraid. I went to sleep last night and just prayed that today would be better. It wasn’t, but I came on UA-cam searching for God and Depression and found this video. 3 months ago this was posted but I found this relevant today. What you are doing and how you are spreading messages works, you are saving people even if it’s for just 30 minutes. In those 30 minutes I felt okay. Thank you and God bless you.
Charlotte,
Praise God that he put this message in front of you when you needed it. I love how God makes those events work. I'm so sorry you had a hard day yesterday and today. Praying God is with you and for you in all you need.

Wow, it's the first time I followed a message that has had actual sympathy for depression sufferers. Ok so everybody always preaches about depression and sometimes I would stop listening to those teachings because throwing Bible verses at depressed people are simply not the right solution. What about the people that are living with depressed people? My wife is suffering from depression and in February she had a total mental meltdown. Due to her depression, she lost her job, lost friends and our marriage were damaged to such an extent that we almost ended in divorce. To live with a depressed person is not easy and I am the only breadwinner in the household. When my wife had her meltdown we saw people's true colors and realized that even well-educated people do not have any clue how to handle depressed people. Non-depressed people should be educated on how to handle depressed people. Thank you for this message and thanks to your message today I am considering starting a workshop to educate non-depressed people on how to live and handle depressed people.
That's right. For many people they will ridicule/dismiss what they don't understand. Then for others because they can't magically fix you, they'll desert you. Ostracising you when you need love, not judgement.
I've had it happen to me and it's really harmed my ability to trust again.
I'm so glad messages like this are out there because they remind me that not every church misses the mark on stuff like this.
How is your wife doing? I pray she's well. 💛
@@nathaliesavoury7736 She is doing better, had a set back last week but we work hard and take it day by day
@@maruiscordier2042 that's wonderful to hear!
I don't know your church or pastor, but this series is helping me as I go through a physical challenge. It's been 3 months. I'm feeling despair.
So true
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring. Made me cry for 30 mins. Hope I will be healed for anxiety and depression soon
Thank you for sharing what you’re feeling. We created a guide to working through anxiety that’s full of encouragement and resources. You can check it out here: go2.lc/findpeace
When I thought i was too hard for even God to fix, I came across Jeremiah 32:17. Toward the end of this verse, it says, there is nothing too hard for Thee. From deep within, I thought "even me".
There really is nothing too hard for Him!
It’s so amazing that he is talking about the different root causes of depression instead of saying those who are depressed just are giving it to God, aren’t relying on him, etc. I have met pastors who believe depression isn’t real and unfortunately I watched it drive many Christians away. This is such a good message!
Yep. I'm one of them who was driven away at one point. Thankfully messages like this help remind me that not all churches miss the mark on subjects like this.
It's so, so welcome from me as it's a subject prone to stigmatisation even in church environs. #endmentalhealthstigma

I have experienced depression and anxiety. It is a vacuum that slowly consumes you. At times, it was difficult to even listen to the Word. Depression closed off my ability to listen and reason. However, I was able to crawl out from it and it did take a lot of self prayer. Labeling my fears definitely allowed me to realize that they were not as ominous as my emotions were making them. Again, it was a slow process that involved making many healthy choices and having faith. I could not have done it alone. Those around me acknowledged my situation and gave me support instead of empty words such as, "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps." Any one who has suffered with depression knows that just can't happen. Thank you, because I have to work every day to keep me from ever falling back. I am weak without God, but there is hope in God.
God is powerful and makes possible what for menos seems impossible. Trust He will provide the way out.
Amen
I want everyone to know that who is battling depression, that you're not alone. No matter how much you want to give up, you didn't. You've made it this far. With God all things are possible. You are a conqueror. You are a warrior. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Our victory is in Jesus. The war is already won. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. I love you brothers in sisters in Christ Jesus. May God strengthen and bless every one of you. Amen.
❤️Thank you for your comment.

Amen thank you Jesus ❤️
I really needed to hear this, it hit home so hard. Depression, hopelessness and fear has stunned me for years after I got out of the Marine Corps. Once I rededicated my life to God, and stepped on the path that I knew I was called to, things got better. But as soon as I graduated college I thought this is it, I’ve got my training I can minister now. But I got so wrapped up in doing I began to feel depression come back and swallow me, I feel like I cry out sometimes and it hits the roof. Which I know isn’t true, but I know He is there, I’m the one who became stagnant and complacent. I just want to walk in His joy and His peace again. Thank you so much for this pastor.
It's my first month here in the US, my wife came here 4 months earlier. The day before my flight coming here, my wife called and confessed to me that she had an affair.
I was so crushed I didn't know what to feel. I couldn't share it to my church friends because they might judge my wife. Now I feel like I'm a walking dead, no hope, no strength, so insecure, no future to hold on to, no hope for marriage, can't trust God anymore, especially can't trust my wife.
I have been following this series and made me cry all the time. Gives me hope to continue my walk in faith with the the Lord. It encourages me to continue with my marriage, that it's okay not to have a perfect marriage, to accept her imperfections and her failure.
Thank God for using Ptr Craig and the church to encourage depressed and hopeless people like me.

@@life.church I appreciate your response and extending your help. May God continue to bless you ministry!
Counseling helps..even pastoral counseling. So sorry...
I have lived with anxiety disorder for over 8 years now but each day God is teaching me alot and its getting better. I am encouraged and I know I shall one day stand up and testify that God healed me completely. Its never too late for God each minute is an opportunity to enjoy Gods salvation and healing. Thank you for this wonderful word of God it shall not come back empty.
Praised be the Lord
Definitely a message worth preaching ❤️it's amazing how the church is addressing these issues.
I surrender to you Jesus fill me with your spirit. I cast out all feelings of anxieties, despair, jealousy, hatred, and anger, and I say be gone/ removed. In Jesus name, Amen.
I usually don’t comment on a video but this video broke my heart because I understood almost every word. Especially the very last part where you asked the live and online audience to lift up their hands in prayer. Explaining how some feel “far from God or ashamed because of their sin”. I repented of course before watching this video but that unbearable guilt of still feeling not good enough. Romans 8:38-39 is my usual go-to mental health hotline verse. Amen, and thank you for this beautiful message.
Thank you so much! It’s devastating to hear someone accuse you of having little faith, or no faith at all or unbelief when one has depression! In many churches this is a standard way of thinking, thus the sufferer of depression hides it and can’t get the support he or she needs from the body of Christ. I’m grateful for your message
@6.48 you said "you might have chronic pain that's certainly not your fault, that's just leading you into a state of darkness". I needed to hear that at this very moment. Thank you, Pastor.
🙏🏼❤️
It's great you are dealing with this. It helps to know that even the great men of God have suffered from depression. Reading The PSALMS has really helped me over the years
As someone who has battled with anxiety and depression for over 10 years now, it's so, SO good seeing responsible teaching like this.
We need love, NOT judgement in our struggle.
We need the practical wisdom whilst being reminded we are not going crazy and simultaneously being pointed back to God as our Author and "very present help in times of trouble" (Psalm 46v1).
Thank you so, so much for this series Life.Church 💗 ❤ 🙏🏼
Agtee all churches need to talk about it and have depression anxiety grps bring out of shadows
Jesu ! I know you're there, is hard for me now but I know you know me and what's troubling me. I hand it over to you and I know it will pass and my light will break out. Amen

I have been going to cancer center with my husband who has it but it was like a nightmare seeing all the really sick people it is so hard to take in I sit there for hours seeing people come and go that are really sick I decided instead of going crazy inside I would pray for healing for each person and now it is kinda bearable but it broke my heart too much I am so tender hearted
Same here. Praying 🙏
One of the best messages I heard on depression, I was diagnosed in 2008, I am on meds and Jesus gives me hope daily.
Hi! I came here for this! I have been contemplating taking medicine again and was looking for confirmation. It's okay. I also see an amazing counselor.
This is so powerful! I have turned my back on the power of God & His faithfulness, but this has spoken to me so deeply. I am in a really dark place right now & to know that I don’t need to be defined by this, and that this is not permanent. Thank you Thank you for speaking on this issue of depression & hope!
Dear Father God, we lift up Joanleking5225; Your are not your pastl You are not what you did. You are not what others have done to you. You are not who other say you are. You are loved, forgiven, redeemed, and set free. The next time you are faced with regret of the past, remind yourself remind yourself of the future you have in God. There is not sin too great for His grace. There is no label too strong for His love. You are never too far gone. God can still use you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Everyone's journey's is diffrent and everyone's healing process is different. Thank you for this message. It touched me and helped replace some thoughts with truth "emotions aren't permanent" and "with God there's always hope"! I battle with social anxiety dissorder (almost 20 yrs now) and it grew to generalized dissorder, which also drains my energy and depression kicks in when I have no more strenght. God speaks to me on a regular bassis and tells me He is right here with me in this sickness and in this process of healing (in the fire with me). I have discovered traits of God's character which I think I would have never encountered not being in this dark place. Just goes to show that no matter how deep in darkness you are, God is right there with you, that "hesed" word I see it, I see it in Him. I would appreciate your prayers very much. God has brought me through a lot already and I know He is not done! God bless you all! 🙏💝

i’ve gone through a lot this year! sadly, i lost most of my school friends, lost my grandpa during april and developed anxiety! then, depression during june! and i hate this year with a passion because it’s a version of myself that i NEVER would’ve suspected to come and have heard negative comments towards my season but like Pastor Craig said, it’s only temporary! don’t let people bring you guys down just because of what you’re going through! you’re a faithful loving Christian despite what you go through! God made us and knew how we are! no one can tell you how close you are to God or not! 🤍 keep fighting guys!
Amen Sammie. God is our strength and He will provide for the best outcome. it is temporary!!!
God Bless us all! I’ve been in the Lord’s arms & he sent me back, because he had work for me to finish. May the Lord reveal to all, how special we are as his children.
Thx 🙏 ☺️
This is just the message I needed to hear 👂 rt now.. 💕
It’s a nice reminder that even for us that feel totally alone in life
God still cares & loves us.. we are not alone.
We at least have God if no one else.. Amen 🙏
I’m glad that the church is talking about this and that it doesn’t mean that there’s not hope in God or that people aren’t trusting in God. It’s an illness that needs spiritual, physical and psychological treatment
Thank you! BY GODS GRACE I AM DELIVERED!! PRAYING FOR EVERYONE HERE.
Thank you Life Church and Craig Groschel for addressing the real things in life that many do not know how to express... ❤🙏🙏🙏 Love and Blessings to LC from Germany!

Holy Spirit, please go into Jason's home and fill him with the strength to walk his path through the suffering he is experiencing deeply. Lord, give him the glimmer of light that can lead him to more hope, more peace, and towards his future that you have planned for him. Please let his pain be offered up for more graces that he might truly feel your presence and peace. Please give him the protection he needs, strengthen his Armor of God, and cast out anything that wishes him and his home harm! In Jesus's name, Amen. 🙏🏻

Growing up in a Hispanic church mental health was never talked about & if someone was suffering they weren’t “religious” enough or close to God. I’ve had anxiety all my life due to traumatic events that happened to me growing up. I had people rebuke me! Tell me I’m not close to God. I finally decided to tell my family what had happened to me. I’m getting therapy, prayers from family and friends. I still struggle at times with anxiety, but I’m doing so much better. I just want to let everyone know you got this!!!! It’s going to be hard and sometimes you just don’t want to get up because it hurts to even breathe. Your body is tired and beat. But! You got this.
Thanks for sharing your experience Gloria. May God grant you peace and rest of mind.
Not just a Hispanic issue or problem. Satan tries to cau3EVERYONE problems
I tried to write u a message. Anyway, it's a problem not just for Hispanic churches! I'm as pale and Northern European as they come ! and it's a subject not talked about except in whispers! If at all....
Thanks. I hope you are right. Cuz it sure doesn't seem like it!
good morning every body GOD BLESS
Thank the Lord for leàding me to you today. A day when I truly need. Need help and thru U I have been put on this blessed path. Thankyou and thankyou in the name of jesus 🙏😌
