This one came up so I figured I would comment. You know what they say, the older you get, the less you are invited to weddings, and the more you go to funerals. On that positive note, I invite you to come to my blog, http://lazyfathead.blogspot.com, and join me in my delightful spiral into death depression and nothingness. Thanks for your time.

Martyn Lloyd Jones wrote a very excellent book titled "Spiritual Depression" that is very helpful on this issue. I'd also commend the ministries of Jay Adams and David Powlinson to you if you aren't already familiar with them. LayGuy:

I totally agree with you. I think as Christians that struggle with depression and other mental ilnesses that we definitely should examine our hearts and ask God to point out areas of sin or areas that we truly need to change our hearts in.... and that we shouldn't necc. be quick to medicate a problem... BUT when you have done all that and sought much good counsel and you realize that you really are not functioning right (esp. when taking care of 2 little ones like me!) then you probably have a medical problem that needs treated. I do still pray often that the Lord would make me whole in this area someday and heal me. Till then... Could you write one on Generalized Anxiety Disorder now :) My theory is that my 'major' depression is largely an effect of my Massive Anxiety issues. my panic issues area absolutely no fun! I have prayed over it again and again verses about "be anxious for nothering, but in everything by prayer and supplication let your requests be made known unto God.... And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." To no avail. Meds seem to be the only thing helping. Thanks this is a great post.
