I think depression makes us feel that God has left us, however, I have been told many times this is not true. Without getting into too much detail online, I believe there is a reason for the mess we are in; in general it is outlined in "In The Beginning". If you believe what it says there, you will know with confidence that God is going to save us out of the mess the world is in. As for personal heart aches that come our way, deaths of loved ones etc., and shortcomings and sins that start in the mind and can lead to immoral actions, these too can be covered if one believes God forgives those asking. Lastly there is hope that everything will eventually be straightened out. That is why my faith has kept me alive, along with support of my husband. Doctors and medicines contribute by keeping me in a more stable frame of mind, so that I can think logically about the above. I believe that eventually God will even take away depression forever.

I also have some difficulty getting emotion into my relationship with God. I think I can figure out things on a rational basis, but I am searching for feelings. What can we do? Does anyone have any comments.

hi
i don't feel that God punishes us. perhaps we do go on to a better world. perhaps we have to trust that God will do what is best and that there is a reason for what happens. perhaps its all a matter of our peception or chemistry. Some very poor unfortunate people are optimistic and upbeat.
If you have leprosy, I think, you can't feel anything and then you don't take care of your arms or legs...you can cut them and there's not pain, so you don't take care of them. If there's no pain when you lose a parent or a child, why would you protect them?
I try not to think too much about why things happen. I try to do what I am capable of doing. I hope God loves me and that he will take care of me...thats probably better than believing there is not hope and no love for me.
We can make theology as complicated or as simple as we want to. We can believe or disbelieve an increble variety of things. Our minds have great powers. I hope I can use my mind to put energy and purpose into my life.
Perhaps we often believe stuff that people put into our heads...we bear a lot of guilt because we don't measure up to someone interpretation of God, to social expectations etc. I think we have to set our own standards of measurement, and we have to measure ourselves against that. We can celebrate many small victories, which may seem immaterial or even stupid to others. Don't judge yourself through the eyes of other people, even religious people.
that all the thinking i can handle at the moment.

I don't know much but I don't think God is mad at us. I don't know exactly what is going on. I don't know why people get sick. I think maybe that sometimes bad things just happen. It's confusing, isn't it?
Ever since my depression first hit full force about half a year ago, my faith has been slowly deteriorating. Now, as scared as I am to even consider it, I'm not even sure how much of a Christian I am anymore. I'm really worried. God must be so mad at me. I just feel so abandoned and I don't understand why something would happen to harm my faith. I never want to go to church because I feel too gloomy to enter such a bright, happy environment, and I'm always so exhausted that I sleep in anyway. Plus, my emotions have been so dried up that I can't feel any kind of deep spiritual love or faith. Does anybody else have a similar struggle? I feel so lost. :(
