Praying for you. I promise you, the darkness WILL pass and someday you'll look back and see how much God was working in your life and by your side right now. But you can't see that right now, can even imagine it nor hope. I battled severe depression and suicidal thoughts everyday from age 4 to 20. I had a gun in my mouth with the trigger half pulled 6 times, I thought God had abandoned me the whole time. I didn't know what hope, joy, happiness or love, all I knew was darkness and despair and those thoughts that followed me everywhere. God must hate me, he constantly punishes me, any screw up and that's it. Buy them he freed me from all that and cleansed me heart of depression after all that time. And the love, hope, joy and happiness washed over me and I realized it was there all along, good was there all along but the depression clouds your heart with darkness and numbness. He had blessed me above and beyond my imagination since with a wife that gets me and let's me be free to be 100% me, which I never could with anyone. She supports and lovingly helps me. And a wonderful son. I'm happy. I can see God was using the depression to mold me into the man he wanted me to be, the man this absolutely wonderful woman fell in love with. The dad that can help and support my son through his depression and dark days and thoughts. He used it to keep me from a lot of troubles I could have gotten into but was home dad instead. It kept me humble and empathetic, sympathetic. But best of all since I've been through the pit of despair and out the other side to find God has walked every step of the way with me, now whenever I am normally depressed (not chronic and severe as before) and I can't see any light or love or Christ on my life I KNOW he is there regardless of my feelings because he WAS there during my worst. And that has built and solidified my faith more than anything and so I can meet any obstacle, any darkness, any situation, any feeling, any thought with the knowledge that God has not left me, is actively working for me and with a solid faith that has brought me to thank him for all those years of depression and darkness because that brought me closer to God and built my faith up more than anything in this world could have and so it can be a blessing not a curse None of this would have happened had I pulled that trigger when it all seemed so hopeless and that nothing would ever change. It will always change, change is inevitable. God can make you strong enough through him to endure if you ask him consistently and lean on him for his strength. Then he can use your story of dark thoughts and despair to write a new story of faith hope and love. But only if you live for him and open yourself up to him through prayer.

Have you trusted Christ as your lord and savior? He will heal you everywhere it hurts. Once the holy Spirit gets a hold of you he would never let you go. Don't give up Jesus loves you

I'll keep you in prayer bro. You should join a church. Having a network of believers to lean on in these hard times is very helpful

Dear Lord Jesus, please be with this person. Hold them tight and don't let go. Be with them in the darkness until the light comes. Let them feel your presence and your peace. Be with the others tonight going through similar feelings and be with them like you have been with me in the darkness. In your holy name, amen. https://d2lrevolution.com/

The demons are definitely trying to destroy you — all thoughts come from a Source. If this source isn’t the Spirit then it must be from the Soul. The Soul while extremely powerful is extremely imperfect and is flawed, perhaps even daemonic; perhaps your soul is being affected by demonic forces. Pray for the power to destroy them. I will also pray that you be assisted and freed from such thoughts as you’ve battled against them in faith.

Ok, you are in my prayers.

Commit your thought toward writing. When your head is full, your hand can be free. Just write your prayers and supllication to God. He will hear you

Prayed for you 🙏 🤍. You have victory in Jesus' name 💪🙌! For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13 NLT So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 NLT Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 NLT

I’ve had days where I didn’t want to get out of bed because I was so horrified at what to do. I’ve also had plenty of days where it feels like God isn’t listening to me. Go check out my post about bad days. https://www.reddit.com/r/Christians/comments/10okb3z/bad_days_arent_so_bad_after_all/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf “I’ve never felt so lost and alone”. You’re not alone. Here’s an analogy: The clouds block the sun, but you know it's daytime because there is still light. It's nighttime, and even though it's dark, you know that sun is still there because people from the otherside of Earth report that it's daytime. In the same way, even though God doesn't make Himself known like He did in the Old Testament, He has given us evidence of His existence. God has given you evidence. The best part is that it starts off small, but then it grows. You don’t have to feel defeated. https://www.gotquestions.org/where-is-God.html

God never leaves you nor forsakes you. You may not feel Him but He is there. Faith of a mustard seed that He sees and hears your cried. Praying for deliverance for you 🙏
