Finding Purpose: How Serving Others Helps Overcome Depression #shorts

View Comments

• I agree I just was speaking to a 21 year old who has a friend that the guy is depressed? He sees himself useless? I told the young lady he needs to help out in a shelter, or visit nursing home then maybe he’ll see his life isn’t so bad. America deals with this because when our minds start to evaluate situations and create worse case scenarios then worry hits! If we see our peers either new cars, building homes, vacationing whenever they want we measure our happiness on their scales. I get it but I’m glad to be where I am until GOD moves me!!! I don’t give up I keep being active!🙌🏽🙏🏽❤

• 1 Kings 19:9-18

  This reminds me of the state of many men today that have been fighting and grown weary like the prophet Elijah did. He went and hid in a cave wishing he could die. God asked him twice why he was there. It took Elijah to tell the Lord how he felt and why. Then the Lord revealed to him he was not alone and directed him to the support he needed.

  However he needed Elijah to tell him how he felt to get him completely out of that cave and depression. I pray men will go to the Lord with their concerns, find their tribes and healthy expressions and obey the instructions of the Lord to come out of these caves of depression and live.

  9 There Elijah went into a cave and stayed all night.
  Then the Lord spoke his word to him: “Elijah! Why are you here?”
  10 He answered, “Lord God All-Powerful, I have always served you as well as I could. But the people of Israel have broken their agreement with you, destroyed your altars, and killed your prophets with swords. I am the only prophet left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”
  11 The Lord said to Elijah, “Go, stand in front of me on the mountain, and I will pass by you.” Then a very strong wind blew until it caused the mountains to fall apart and large rocks to break in front of the Lord . But the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind, there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a quiet, gentle sound. 13 When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his coat and went out and stood at the entrance to the cave.
  Then a voice said to him, “Elijah! Why are you here?”
  14 He answered, “Lord God All-Powerful, I have always served you as well as I could. But the people of Israel have broken their agreement with you, destroyed your altars, and killed your prophets with swords. I am the only prophet left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”
  15 The Lord said to him, “Go back on the road that leads to the desert around Damascus. Enter that city, and pour olive oil on Hazael to make him king over Aram. 16 Then pour oil on Jehu son of Nimshi to make him king over Israel. Next, pour oil on Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to make him a prophet in your place. 17 Jehu will kill anyone who escapes from Hazael’s sword, and Elisha will kill anyone who escapes from Jehu’s sword. 18 I have seven thousand people left in Israel who have never bowed down before Baal and whose mouths have never kissed his idol.”

  • The Lord’s Presence breaks strongholds and yokes! You’re right—-seeking after Him is the way to go. Plus counseling if feasible and affordable 🙂.

• Fascinating video, Let's stop taking relationships and family for granted. I have battled depression since my husband left me. I have tried all I can to make him see that I love him with everything I am made of but he has insisted on leaving. This has made me so empty, and I do not know what to do. I can barely function properly at work. I am frustrated and miserable. I really miss him so much

  • Your pain resonates with me. Letting go of someone dear to your heart is an immense challenge. I found myself in a comparable situation when my 12-year-long relationship ended, and I struggled to accept it. Despite my efforts to reconcile, I eventually turned to a spiritual counselor for guidance, who help me to get my love back. I'm now filled with joy

  • I'm keen on meeting the counselor you're talking about. What steps should I take?

  • Online, you'll find Suzanne Ann Walters , revered for her expertise as a spiritual counselor. She has the ability to reunite couples and promote holistic well-being

  • Thank you for this information. I have just looked her up on Google, impressive

  • Firstly you have to love yourself. Look in the mirror and say I am beautiful and wonderfully made. You can't make someone love you if they don't want to.
    Find a Church that recognize Jesus Christ as Lord and start reading your Bible. In this book are some encouraging words that would give you a peace of mind. When was
    the last time you bought a outfit. Try it 😂 Go out with genuine friends and h 1:51 have a good laugh. It is said laughter is medicine for the soul. I guarantee you that these steps will help you feel better of yourself. Much Blessings to you 🙏
