I feel horrible
rick:
Hi pg- 91,
We must consider that God created us with emotions and our emotions are connected with each and every thought we have.
Without emotions would wrong doing bother us ? Without emotions would lust have a pull on us ? Believe it or not today I've come to terms with the sovereignty of God , today I surrendered the idea of any control over any and all circumstances and choices.
What ever we experience was intended and can in no wise be altered in any way shape or form by us and everything that happens is for our learning and understanding and ultimately our change of mind heart and attitude towards God.
When one really understands the sovereignty of God one can then start to understand themselves and others and why everything that happens in this age is and was well planned out and all things go back to the sovereignty of God the first cause of all things be directly or indirectly.
It's not God in needing of change or work but we His creation . God causes us to think about what we think do and say with all the emotions that play out with each and every new thought and action we choose.
And so our journey begins on discovering how wretched we really are. God has and order of operation and in His order we all start at the bottom. Pretty cool but not very fun.
God bless.

Thank you for the clarification, Rick! Now I understand your point.

--- Quote ---I would just like to share some things about my life and maybe you could give some useful remarks about it. I'm 25 now, and have been struggling with depression and guilt for about 6 years. As I already wrote in an other topic I have a lot of regrets regarding my behaviour to my brother (who died in cancer) and my classmate (who died in an accident/suicide). I thought over these mistakes again and again and I'm very angry and disappointed with myself.
--- End quote ---
I have a sister who says she does not do depression, and I know of a sweet lady who is still suffering from depression - which started from a single unresolved issue.
If it were me, I would put my burden on Jesus Christ, as He has asked us to do so - and ask Him for the solution to my depression.
It may be that Jesus by The Holy Spirit will take you back to the original source of your depression, and confirm the root cause - and give you your remedy to be released from this.
I used to be fearful of certain situations; but once I learnt that perfect love casteth out fear, I put my burden to Jesus - and he walked me through the root cause of my fear and showed me His solution to it, and I no longer fear what I once did.
The short answer is that His Perfect Love in you casteth out fear (and if depression is not an attribute of love, it must be hooked to fear).
I hope this helps a little.
Kind Regards.

Hi George:
You have stated that "I THOUGHT over these mistakes again and again and I'm very angry and disappointed with myself". This is one of the schemes of the devil, our enemy! "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Corinthians 2:11).
Here is the solution from the Bible: "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5).
Try to keep in mind that the devil places those same THOUGHTS from the past in our minds, over and over, to try and bring us down, and start practicing rejecting those negative THOUGHTS, in Jesus Name. We are in a spiritual battle.
God Bless

2. AwesomeSavior / George -
I am not sure that the devil can actually place thoughts into our minds - but I believe most of us accept that the battleground is in our minds, as I believe this is the place we all actually live - and I am not too sure that we all know exactly what our hearts and minds really are - as we can monitor the desires in our hearts, and we can examine the thoughts in our minds - and it gets complicated to understand, as if we can monitor these desires in our hearts and examine these thoughts in our minds, are these desires and these thoughts actually ours - or do they become ours only once we accept them as ours - then if we reject them, were they ours to begin with - perhaps, we are to 'try' as in 'trial or test' these desires in our hearts and these thoughts in our minds, in order to ascertain if they be in line with His Word, in order to ensure they are pure and right and acceptable to Our Heavenly Father.
If so, perhaps, these desires and thoughts are actually presented to us by Our Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son, as part of His Purification process for each and every one of us, in becoming more and more Like Him. Remember our old carnal man must continually die so our new spiritual man may continually live, on a daily basis; and perhaps these thoughts are the means for this to happen, one bit at a time, each day of our renewed lives.
I have tried to clearly point out what I understand actually happens in our innermost being, and in our hearts and in our minds.
I know this is a very complex subject for all of us to understand, and get our minds around; and I do not pretend to fully understand the complexities of our being.
I hope this helps a little.
George
