I’m going through alot right now. I going back and fourth to court for and situations that happen 3 years ago. I feel like my life has hit rock bottom and don’t know where else to turn.. I have an up coming court date and not sure of what going to happen…..I try to stay strong and think positive but when I look at my son the joy of my life I get emotional and depressed that because of this situation I cant provide for him the way I could. I’m working 2 minimum wage jobs that still dont pay the bills….Im so depressed and down Im going crazy. I have so many thoughts at times I cant think straight…But through it all Im keeping the faith and believing….MY GOD WILL MAKE A WAY

A few years back I lost my dad in an accident..one that burned him severly…so much so that he passed away because of it. He was a holy man, loved God, and taught us, his children to love God. This, I admit shook my faith to it’s foundations. How could God allow this to happen to one of his faithful servants? I almost mourned myself into the grave with him, depression and nightmares of him screaming for help while he was in flames haunted me. I questioned my beliefs, sadly. I never asked God out loud why, but the question was still in my heart.
God saw my heart. He knew the confusion that was in my mind and He began sending answers. One came in a message from a friend online…of a silver smith. How the silver was cast into fire to be tried true. While this does not explain it very well to my fleshly mind, my spirit understood. Bad things happen to good people, be they of whatever faith. I found that looking at the blessings in my life were a great comfort. The gift of my children being at the top of that list. The memories of that time still haunts me and most likely always will, but when those memories start to rise up, I have found that giving praise to God, counting my blessings one by one, and trusting that my Dad is with him, praising His holy name, gets me through it. Whatever you may go though in life, always remember you are not alone. God is always with us. Be blessed.

Thanks for posting this. I don’t know who you are but this has helped me today. I am at work currently and I have just been so DOWN today. My job isn’t what I would like to be doing for a living. I would like to be doing something I like to do for a living. It’s hard for me right now to pin down what exactly I want to do that will bring me much more satisfaction than this. I just feel so STUCK and DEPRESSED some days. I have to pray to get myself through the day. My depression has taken me to depths I have rarely shared but I have God on my side and believing that He has a purpose for my life and an abundant life for me. Thanks again for posting this. My heart is heavy with much to say and share, but instead I think I will keep it short like this.

I battled depression for about a yr. And thank God that I found a local church and this website to help me ground myself and get a grip on this lie of depression. I am set free and by his stripes I am healed,thank u father for I am strong in you!
