Biblical Answer

The Crisis of the Will

When you feel like you've lost everything, it's essential to recognize that this is a crisis of the will. It's not just a matter of external circumstances, but a deep-seated struggle within. You may feel like you've abandoned everything, but this is a point of recklessness that can lead to a deeper crisis if left unaddressed.

Addressing the Crisis

To address this crisis, you need to do battle with depression's tendencies toward passivity. Don't wait for faith to be inserted into your heart; seek the Lord. If there's any guarantee in Scripture, it is that He will meet you. You must take small steps to engage in the struggle. Consider reading Job 38:42, and examine where you've become sluggish spiritually. Remember, the heart is always choosing, and you have the power to choose to seek Jesus.

Seeking Jesus

When you look to Jesus, you will no longer be alone. You will be strengthened, and you will be changed. Expect to say, "This is exactly what I needed." Through depression, you can learn things about God and yourself. You can learn to say, "I will take back my freedom and control my thoughts and emotions." You don't need to be trapped by fear, despair, or rage. Your mind doesn't have to be stressed. You are invited to an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, and He can change your life and help you overcome depression.
