I John 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
I believe the therapist is out unless I kind find a Christian one, which in the past has not been easy. I would consider a Pastor, but I'm not sure that's really the Pastor's job to help me through my depression. So I continue reading to see what else God wants to tell me.
Another thing I've been praying about is my fear. I fear a lot of things. I fear the future and what is going to happen in our lives. I fear what giving myself completely over to the Lord means.
I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
I'm not exactly sure how I can apply this to my life yet as I've always felt I was a loving sort. But, I think if I keep searching I'll find that maybe bitterness, anger, or pain is getting in the way of the true love I am supposed to have for God and my family.
I John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Yesterday in my Bible reading I learned that keeping the commandments of God will also help with my depression, love, fear, anxiety, ect.
I John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
I started a list of commandments which of course included the 10 commandments and other other commandments I've come across in my Bible reading. I am going to keep them in my Bible as a reminder of the way I should be conducting myself on a daily basis. I think this will really help.
For my faith:
I John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
I believe Jesus is the Son of God, so why don't I have more faith?
