Psalms are actually songs, in church we put many of them to music. As you read the scripture and meditate upon the word aim your thoughts towards what the Bible is telling you, and away from those things that make you feel sad. The Bible actually tells us in Philippians 4:8 that we should think on good things. It's hard to be depressed when you're thinking about joyful things and all the wonderful promises the word of God has for us.

I want to shout and cry coz I'm depressed and talk to somebody else.I know all things happened in purpose but I feel so desperate Cheng, I'm sorry to hear that you are hurting. (((Hugs))) As the others said prayer and reading the Holy Bible is important to combating loneliness. When we focus on Christ and trust His sacrificial love for us, it helps heal some of the hurt. I believe when we feel desperate it's because God is drawing us to Himself so that He can give us the love, healing (emotional pain), and protection that we crave. What I've been doing lately is keeping a list of my favorite Scriptures by topic. When I, or someone I know requests prayer/is hurting, I share my favorite Scriptures on the subject to encourage them and give them hope. The following is just a start/idea of some Scriptures you could turn to when you are feeling lonely: *Psalm 25:16 Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted. *Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. *1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. *Proverbs 18:24 One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend (Jesus) who sticks closer than a brother. *Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. *Psalm 94:17-19 Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. When I said, "My foot is slipping," your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy. *Isaiah 43:1-5 "Do not be afraid. I will save you. I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you; your troubles will not overwhelm you. When you pass through fire, you will not be burned; the hard trials that come will not hurt you. For I am the Lord, your God....because you are precious to me and because I love you and give you honor, do not be afraid, I am with you." Hopefully, some of these speak to your heart and encourage you! Blessings, Gem 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard for people with poor health to make/keep friends. Not everyone wants to visit the sick cause it makes them sad. Or, they don't want to sit around and just talk, put a puzzle together, watch a movie or the things that the chronically ill are able to do. Add into that we live in a very busy world that can be self focused which can create loneliness. I've had 17 years of chronic health issues and at times have been bed ridden, unable to leave my home for months at a time. It took me from a social butterfly to practically a hermit. I wanted you to know that you are not alone, and I empathize with your challenges! I really admire you reaching out to someone else that is hurting when you have your own struggles. Keep up the good work! Blessings, Gem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BacKaran Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi, Welcome and please let us know about yourself, what you do and what your faith is like in Christ. I have anxiety and depression and take meds. But the biggest change that helped me was Jesus. I left the Catholic Church searching for hope and He lead me to Him! It was a long journey. Feel free to chat anytime and may God bless you as your journey continues. ❤ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
