    Anxiety and Depression happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once.
    Breathe. You’re strong. You got this . Take it day by day

    Thank you so much for this message. I have battled depression for 30 years and have gotten relief through medication all these years. This same medication has worked, until recently. For the past few months, the medication seems to have stopped working. I will be going back to the doctor hoping to get answers. I also have been battling lots of anxiety and type 2 diabetes. I have been working very hard on my diet. Please pray for me. I am a Christian and do my best to love God back. Please pray for healing. I know God can heal me. This depression and anxiety is SO HARD and I am scared. I’m so tired of suffering.

    Healing comes through bible understanding.

    Basement dweller in my 40s. Is that God’s plan for me?

  25. @drsmiggles7262 on June 21, 2025 at 10:43 pm

    I’m tired of waiting. Tired of believing. Tired of expecting. In 52 years, the only response I’ve received from God is silence. I’ve finally hit the wall. I’ve given up….

    Man I got depression from all 4 root causes. HELP ME. Please I’m sick and tired of falling into depression and getting up again and then this whole cycle again.

  32. @tapiotiuraniemi9948 on June 21, 2025 at 10:54 pm

    My experience with depression is that it has always been demonic oppression towards me. But everytime I have learned to fight against those powers with Jesus, eventually I have felt release and freedom. It would be so helpfull to all of us to learn how to see what is happening in the invisible world when we feel these thoughts…

  33. @cameronbott9320 on June 21, 2025 at 10:54 pm

    This is the message I needed, my wife of 8 years left me and it hurt so much everyday. Everyday has been exhausting but this is the spark I needed and through God I will prevail

  34. @miacostanzo4871 on June 21, 2025 at 10:57 pm

    I’m angry, lost, tired but can’t sleep, almost hopeless, overwhelmed, numb, I feel insane like I’m crazy, I feel different and weird, I feel like I don’t belong in this world. Like a puzzle piece that doesn’t fit, I feel like whatever I do is never enough and never will be, I feel lazy, like a horrible person for effecting people with my disease. I watch them become hopeless and upset and I hate it. Thank you for this.

  35. @miacostanzo4871 on June 21, 2025 at 10:58 pm

    God bless. God is great and he is good. This video has made tonight easier for today and I hope tomorrow. Hope, there it is.

    I am dying every time I have to go to work. It is nothing but misery. I have lost my faith in God and have suicidal thoughts many times. Please God, I AM BEGGING YOU, please get me out of this depression. I have nowhere else to turn right now.

  41. @swettbitz8679 on June 21, 2025 at 11:09 pm
