Depression is different from just feeling down and discouraged. It is more like an attitude that dominates your feelings about everything.

We all have days when we feel down, discouraged, and defeated. There are times in our life where the down days happen more than the up, encouraged, and happy days.

Depression has an affect on a person’s attitudes that doesn’t come from circumstances. Wonderful things may be happening to you and you won’t be able to really appreciate them. People may try to cheer you up; and even though you try to get excited, you just can’t shake the negative feelings.

Depression hangs like a black cloud over your head and causes you to feel down and discouraged at times when things are happening to you that should make you feel excited and happy.

You may smile and act like everything is fine; but there is this heaviness that weighs your heart down. Even when you are laughing and appearing to be having a good time, there is this negative pain that is pressing down on your chest. This is where Jesus makes the difference; He knows how to cheer you up by changing your emotions and thoughts. He has powerful words that He speaks into you; they drive out the darkness.

Depression can make you feel like even Jesus won’t be able to help you. It may take some special prayer from your heart to help you reach out to His training and help. Just cry out to Him and allow your heart to express itself. Allow the negative feelings to come to the surface and flow out through tears and words that express your sorrow. Give your heart over to Jesus and He will empower you to reach out for the help you need.

It may take all the energy and prayer you can put forth to take a step in this direction. But, consider this one thing, Jesus isn’t going to be putting pressure on you to change things; He will be working the miracles for you. He will accept the responsibility for changing you AND your circumstances. Just select the “Depression” title in the gray bar above and it will take you to that study.

 
You feel like it wouldn’t do any good to try to solve any of the problems and challenges you face. You just can’t seem to feel like your efforts would do any good.

 
It is an anger problem when we start reacting or responding to feelings of anger in a hurtful way. If we get mad and then hurt someone emotionally or physically because of it, then it is a serious problem.

 
When we start getting loans or establishing credit for too many things, that is a good indication that we have a problem with money. If your monthly payments become greater than your income, then you are in trouble.

But, it may also be an issue where uncontrollable circumstances have come your way. This study comes from various different directions as it deals with financial difficulties.

 
Addiction is a place where something we involved our self in starts to take control of our decisions. Even if you sincerely believe you are able to quit any time you want, you may have become addicted.

If you feel pain or negative emotions when you try to discontinue some activity, you are probably addicted to it. If you keep thinking about the pleasure you get from something and are frequently being pulled in, you probably need this study.

 
This isn’t a study about whether or not you should get a divorce. It is looking at the emotional crisis that takes place when a person is already divorced.

 
If you are divorced or separated but are trying to get back together, then this study will be helpful in showing you a way to build a happy and meaningful relationship with your spouse.

If you are still together and are struggling with your marriage and are needing God’s help in making it a better relationship, then this study will show you how to resolve your conflicts without hurting one another. It will show you how to address issues without making issues the main focus in your marriage.

 
This study helps those who are willing to use God’s principles to bring as much healing as is possible to the family.

 
All of the above studies are about human problems and pain. It is possible that you are not suffering so much with your own emotions or with human relationships as you are suffering with your relationship with God.
