My question is that does anyone know anybody cured totally from depression? The medications helped in a way, i had attempted to commit suicide before about 5 times( and it was not a call for attention). Now, i dont attempt suicide again, but I still want to die most times. I just want to know if people can be totally cured from depression. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, I was close to death when the Lord came to me; Christ raised me up so I would live again, promising to restore everything that had been taken from me in a measure which exceeded what I possessed before. I didn't quite grasp what the Lord meant by that, my friend. The day arrived when it dawned on me that the depression I struggled with for so long was gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was depressed for ten years and had attempted suicide twice. Then, during a prayer about this issue, I was healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalom @Samuel91 Yes, I believe depression can be cured. I say this from experience of dealing with depression for over 7 years myself. I know a little bit about psychology and so I was fully aware of the treatments available (both their benefits and flaws) and was on medication to help me maintain a relatively normal life. However, CBT, medication and other such treatments are ultimately just a temporary bandage which has to come off at some point. When I hit rock bottom, I turned to God with everything. I resolved to spend all my time reading and learning the Word, one book at a time, and seeking Him in prayer. As I done this and forced myself to pray and read the Word each day, the depression finally lifted off my shoulders and I no longer needed the medication – unto this day. This state was secured by the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which I advise you to seek above all things. I speak these things without knowing you but I do so confidently as I am convinced that as we draw closer to the Father through His Word and prayer, and truly submit, then depression cannot cling on. Whereas if we go to man to seek man-made solutions devoid of the Creator’s wisdom, it will be a limited and flawed solution. The Creator knows and understands our hearts when they are full and broken: Consider the book of Ecclesiastes in which the richest man in world had a deep depression – and he got there by straying too far from the Creator. More on that matter here Therefore, again, I would say do these things: Read/Hear the Word daily. Pray at least once a day (however short and simple it may be). Seek the baptism of the Holy Spirit, above all things Be brave my friend. Turn to Him with all your strength and He won’t let you down. He didn’t let me down and I’m sure I am much more of a failure than how you feel now – yet He mercifully blessed me with peace and joy deep inside. Yes I still feel sad now and again (who doesn’t?) but deep inside that joy and hope never goes away. It’s like a solid anchor. Praise Yahweh! Love & Shalom 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes healing is in stages, slowly, a bit at a time and only looking back do we see how far we have come in being healed. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
