Your Question:
Why do I feel so lost and alone in this?
Answer:
I can relate to feeling lost and alone in the midst of depression. It's like being an empty shell, and it's hard to shake off the feeling that I'm not good enough or that I'm a burden to others. But what I've come to realize is that my heart is always choosing, even when I don't feel like it. I'm choosing to let depression define me, or I'm choosing to let God have His way with me. When I'm feeling lost and alone, I try to reframe my experience by recognizing that I'm not a victim of circumstances, but rather a participant in the spiritual battle that's raging within me. I'm choosing to let depression dictate my actions, or I'm choosing to take myself to task and seek help. It's a battle, and it's one that I need to be willing to fight if I want to see change. As a pastor, I've seen how depression can affect relationships, and it's not uncommon for people to isolate themselves and push away those who are trying to help. But I want to remind you that you're not alone in this fight. You are loved, you are valued, and you are worthy of love and care. Don't let depression excuse you from relationships and love; instead, let it be an opportunity to deepen your faith and trust in God's sovereignty.
