How Christians Can Overcome Depression by Omooba77: 8:39am On May 19, 2019
Depression is real and is becoming part of our lives. As Christians we need to find away of dealing with it and overcome.
Some of the ways to deal with it;
- Dont indulge too much in social media, many of the things are make believe
- Love not the world, dont be engrossed in wanting to get everything your eyes see, your heart perceived!
- Dont compare yourself with others, unnecessary rat race give lots of us blood pressure.
- Be content with what you have
- Dont make fun of others who are struggling
- As parents dont put pressure on your children
- Dont live above your means
- Seek help inform of counselling and medical too because depression has to do with mental health.
- Live one day at a time.
- Above all have faith in God, trust him, cast your burden on him and honour his invitation if you are labouring and heavy laden.
God will heal us all!

Gradually, everyone is turning into a "motivational speaker" on depression issues.

Because we’ve placed our faith in Jesus and He’s paid for all our sins and brokenness on the cross, He will never walk away from us. And more incredibly, He doesn’t even want to.


He can handle our doubts, frustrations, failures and darkest moments because He is an astoundingly gracious God. He loves us through it all, because that is simply who He is.

God is good.

Wait what?

I thought Christians are never depressed. I thought the joy of the lord is their strength. I thought the holy spirit comforts them and ministers to them daily. U mean they still go through everything ordinary humans go through too? Lol

Finally u guys have started embracing reality. U have stopped lying to yourselves. Little by little we will get u to come to terms with reality.

The next task is to help u stop faking miracles.

DEPRESION AND SUICIDE WAS INCLUDED IN GOD'S PLAN FROM THE MOMENT OF CREATION, SO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WHAT GOD SAYS WILL HAPPEN WILL HAPPEN, WHAT HE SAYS WON'T HAPPEN WON'T HAPPEN. OR ISN'T THAT WHAT CHRISTIANS BELIEVE?

WHAT ABOUT DESTINY. PERHAPS, IT'S GOD'S WILL FOR THEM TO BE DEPRESSED AND SUICIDAL IN LIFE. SO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DEPRESSION AND SUICIDE IS GOD'S PLAN, AND GOD CAN NEVER CHANGE.
SO IF IT'S HIS PLAN FOR A PERSON THEN HE/SHE CANNOT ESCAPE IT. THEREFORE THIS THREAD IS POINTLESS.

I deal in fundamental solutions.

The overhaul solution to depression is to format your current belief system.

Depression is a feeling and our belief systems creates our feelings.

Think about it.

Ok but I don’t think the treatment of depression involves any specific religious belief or lack of one.

Lol, humans are mostly 99.99% the same, religion doesn't make you 0.001% similar to your fellow Muslim or Christian.
Genetically and historically Men are more depressed than women in fact boys are more depressed than women and girls combined.
This has to do with both biology and environment look around you all the guys are trying to be rich one way or another the girls are mostly looking for all ready made men very few of them are trying to make their own money even the once in school are not looking forward to getting a job or building a billion dollar company but marrying quick before they turn 25 or 29.
The women have a lot of thing's to take away their mind from depression guys only have football and alcohol and many of us don't drink that leaves us with football some of us have lost interest in that too like me that o ly leaves us with religion or very few other alternatives to distract our minds. Every failure hits you harder than the last. Depression is real Religion may help some but certainly cannot help all.
