I just heard a sad news about how a man committed suicide because "he got tired of life". In today's world, we see so many people with suicidal thoughts, depressed and out of place. Depression is a not something new in our society and The Holy Bible is an encyclopedia of knowledge that guides actions as christians and it is more common that most of us are aware of. Depression affecta millions of people, thereby affecting both christians and non-christians.
People suffering from depression experience sadness, angry, fatigue and the likes. Depression is caused by so many factors like challenges, setbacks or even psychological problems.
Dealing with Depression:
Living in a depressed state is really bad to cope but as christians we already have a guideline in the Holy Bible. The Bible teaches us to always live in Joy and happiness in Phillipians 4:4
Rejoice in the Lord always [delight, gladden yourselves in Him]; again I say, Rejoice!

Also, staying in the Word will help because there are scriptures for everything in the Bible. Emotions have a way of leading us astray but God's word stand solidly as having faith in Him is also paramount. God is not a wicked God and will not allow a circumstance that is bigger than us come close to us.
Deuteronomy 31:8
8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
This is the kind of issues we want to see people talk about at SteemChurch. We want educational articles that can help benefit our parishioners. Thanks for sharing this.

We live in a really depressing world, I enjoyed reading this. Deuteronomy 31:8 is very encouraging, it is just like a father telling his son that he would always be with him. But human parents have their own challenges and their days can be cut short but that is a different case with God.

I understand that it is not easy to go through some things in life,especially those that are married with kids and no good job ,this alone can make the man to think a lot and then he starts thinking about committing suicide. Suicide is not an option my people you have to know that God is always there for you no matter what. Just seek his face.

When ever we are going through a depressing time we should take a time out with his words and he'll reveal to us the solution. But we have to believe that the sun will shine on us and we will go scale through. Thinking about it will only torture the soul. Let us endeavour to trust in God when depressed. Thank you for this post and the lastly quoted scripture

Great topic. We should definitely discuss this more. I'm sure there are people suffering from depression right now, reading here. And I think this Steemchurch community can be of help.
Elijah called fire from heaven but shortly afterwards fled from Jezebel's threat and hid under a broom bush in depression, crying out for death. God's response to him gives us insight into how to respond to people suffering from depression. (1 Kings 19)
