Fren A:
Just know u say how u overcome the depression ar?
Fren B:
har? how i overcome my depression?
Fren A :
yea
Fren B :
how ah? many ways combine together lo.., i would drown myself in Christian songs..and pray to God at the same time...
talk to God lo..tell Him how i feel...coz God is our refuge and our strength, He’s our joy and peace,...
then one of those CHristian songs are bound to speak our hearts.....so i will keep singing that particular song that touches me..and sing it as a prayer to God lo..
Fren A
ohh ok
yea that will work too
Fren B
then I can imagine that I'm in God's arms...and know He is holding me tight and hugging me, somehow healing , peace will come...
then i will read Psalms..coz got all of God's promises there!
and keep telling myself that there's hope always in God lo..
and that i can overcome this depression..coz Christ has already at the cross carried all my hurts, pain,,,and every single thing in our lives ma.. and wipe away all by His blood..
and that by His death and resurrection , He has gained Victory....and us being prince and princesses of God...also have the same victory coz God is on our side lo..
and because of all this i know that my depression and pain is temporary and i can overcome it!
try it and see!
u know wat i realised? when i'm depress...the devil will lagi use my depression to make me more depress...and he takes the opportunity to whisper in our ears that....we are useless la, no hope la, all the nonsense la to make us de-motivated and lose faith... he's very subtle..
so to block that..i keep on declaring God's promises and God's words by reading the bible aloud.. to block all the nonsense that the devil is telling me.
say it out loud and believe what the Bible says..coz it’s real...
sometimes..i doubt God's words...so i tell Him " God, your word says this and this and this...how come i don’t see it in my life??! Lord i refuse to believe that u are bias only bless certain ppl or that U are not working in my life, Lord, I just refuse to believe that and that U are a small God, I know that U R a Great God and the God of impossibilities! and I stand on the promises of Your WORD
coz it's the TRUTH! let ur word pierce my heart and make me see that it's true and that U R real! ..
Fren A
wow
Fren B
hope it helps...
God taught me all this during those times of my depression, lostness....
Fren A
k......that's good
Fren B
u have to just refuse to let anything hinder u from believing..
u know ...when i see other ppl with great faith and so much blessings, or having a close walk with God....i thought to myself.." nah God wont do that for me"
but then it came to a point...i told myself and God... God i want that kind of close relationship with U, and if u can be real to others..u can be to me too..coz U love us all the same!.
Fren A
and...?
Fren B
and then i took the effort to spend time reading Bible..more time doing quite time with God..
just talking and talking to Him lo..like how i talk to a fren..
it was tough la..
coz like for few weeks..like no response..
but when God is quiet and no response sometimes..it's coz He wants us to really press on and keep on going..and calling out to Him..
sometimes when i read the bible i get so offended...i go like " yer..why God u so unfair? "....or why GOd like that one?
i ask why why why..
and God speaks in different ways..and reveals things in many ways
sometiems it's thru the bible, sometimes it's thru Our Daily Bread, thru articles...,, somoetimes it's thru sermons.
sometimes it's thru songs, sometiems it's thru frens..
the key is to always keep ur heart and ears and eyes open....humble, and willing to learn and listen..
and asking God..wat is it u trying to tell me?
and sometimes He speaks thru situations in life....and sometimes..in quietness..He whispers into ur ears..
and when He speaks.somehow u will know...coz it will either shut u up..then u dun ask why anymore..or sometimes there's just peace in the heart..
and sometimes when u not sure, it's ok to ask God for confirmation....
i;ve also learned that there are some questiones which He might not answer us in this lifetime, there are questions He will not answer straight away...
but just trust that He knows best and His timing is always on the dot..not too late , not too early. u just gotta keep believing and trusting..
Fren A
yea
that's true
jus sometimes u dont understand why certain things happen
but when u look back someday u'll see why it happens for a reason
Fren B
yea...that's very true..
u know i told my fren once " That God never promised that our life on earth will be easy, He never promised us that our walk with Him will be easy, He never promised us that being a Christian in this world is gonna be easy, He never promised us that everyday of our lives will be sunshiny and clear. But He did promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Fren A
amen
Fren B
He promised to walk with us each step hand in hand and carry us when we dun have the strength to go on, He promised us that He will be there when we need Him,
He promised to be our ALL in ALL, He promised to make us complete and whole and He promised us that He will always be our fren. ONLY if we allow Him to.
Fren A
but sometimes still can't help but to feel down
Fren B
ya i un.....and it's ok to feel down..
at least u know u are human and normal..ahahhaha...
dun think God would expects us to be robots and emotionaless..
the choice is - what do u do when u feel down?
choose to let it pull u down?
or choose to cry it all out to God and tell Him about it, then pick up urself again, and look towards Jesus for Hope and keep on believing that He is there with u and He will surely see u thru this time of sadness and depression.
it's not easy.....just gotta make an effort lo...
God promise us in Matt 7:7-11
“ Ask and it will be given to you, Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, he who seeks finds and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Which of you, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! “

Psalm 147 : 3 - 11
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
- God has already spoken, declared and promised that He is our healer , and He heals all those who are brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. It is a promise to us, all we need to do is just to call upon the name of Jesus and reach out to Him as He is already there beside us waiting for our cry.
- I have personally experienced and know how true vs 3 is, during this difficult period in my life I was so depressed that when I wake up every morning I had nothing to look forward to, to me there was no hope, no future . There came a point when I just didn’t want to be depress anymore, I just couldn’t take it anymore, I broke down and cried and said to God, “ I cannot take it anymore, I really really do not want feel this way anymore, God help me, help me, heal me, set me free! Healing did not come overnight, God in His wisdom and timing gave me healing over time, He set me free from the strongholds and wrong attitude and mentality. Where the Spirit of the LORD is there is liberty.!
- Jesus, You gave me hope, life and a future because I know my life is in Your loving hands.
He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.
- Isnt it amazing that God Himself has placed the stars in skies, each and every star He knows and He determines the exact number of stars in the universe. It’s just so mind blowing that God even calls them each by name! If God pays so much attention and detail to the stars what more us who are His created in His image??!!
Great is our LORD and mighty in power;
His understanding has no limit
The LORD sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
Vs 10
His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse
Nor His delight in the legs of a man;
The LORD delights in those who fear Him
Who put their hope in His unfailing LOVE.
