How God helped me through my depression

All throughout my life I had been sad. I never thought it was depression, and I always thought everyone else felt the same thing that I felt. Just recently, I had actually snapped out of my depression, and the only person that I could thank at the moment was God. God was the one who helped me feel happy. I actually feel happy and this happiness is not going away. Here is how God helped me throughout my depression

He gave me hope

The good Lord was merciful in me and he decided to give me hope towards the things that are good. I remember a few times I was about to give up on everything, but the good Lord has mercy on me and decided to give me hope in him.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and instruction. That’s in proverbs. My knowledge was this, that I had God and I had to be truthful. Looking back now, I start to think to myself that I probably would’ve committed suicide if I hadn’t had God in my life. But anyways, I had to be truthful because God loves someone who is truthful. I had to read the Bible and go to church and accept Jesus Christ into my life as my personal Lord and Savior. So; I made him so. And sure enough. I became happy. It took 25 long years but I became happy.

He provided for me

Everyone needs food, clothes, shelter, and other things too. God provided for absolutely every one of those needs. When you are depressed, you tend to lose track of yourself: your hygiene starts to go down, your appetite is lost. Etc. etc. but when you have someone providing for you, you don’t have to worry about when your next meal is going to be. So, I rely on God to get me through my meals.

Just recently I started thanking God for all the food that I had in my fridge and I had so much food that I literally don’t have a place to put it all. I literally still have them in boxes. The reason why I say this is because my family and I are going through financial trouble and even in the financial trouble, we still have food for a family of 10. So I started to say to myself, I have food and God is being so good to me that he literally is fattening us up with food. He is good.

He gave me the guitar

I had actually prayed to God to give me the guitar and he did so. The guitar is much more than the six string instrument: the guitar is the practice and the patience that comes along with playing an instrument. It’s the dedication and the tenacity and the work, God gave me all that. Gods prayers are complete not half hearted so that’s why I knew that it came from God.

Well guys that’s it for right now, thanks again for listening in. May God bless you guys and as always this has been German Gonzalez; signing out.
