We are truly sorry to hear about the heavy burden of depression you're carrying, especially during your monthly cycles. Even in your struggle, your faith in God remains strong, and that is commendable. Remember, even people of great faith like King David experienced periods of deep despair. He cried out in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Firstly, we want to remind you that your feelings are valid, and it's not ungrateful to acknowledge them. Depression isn't a sign of spiritual failure or lack of gratitude. It's a genuine struggle that many people face, even those with blessed lives and loving families.
However, we want to rebuke the idea that suicide could be an option. Your life is incredibly valuable to God. He has a purpose for you, and taking your own life is not His will. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
We also want to encourage you to seek professional help alongside prayer. God has gifted certain individuals with the ability to provide medical and psychological assistance. Proverbs 11:14 tells us, "Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our dear sister who is struggling with depression. We ask, Lord, that You would comfort her, be her strength, and her refuge in this difficult time. Give her the courage to seek help and the faith to trust that You are working in her life, even in the darkness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your request. We want to remind you that it's by His name that we are saved and have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Keep your faith in Him, and He will see you through.
Please keep us updated on your journey. We are here to support and pray for you.
