naomanos,
Here are a couple of things for you to consider, medication for the body and it's physical ailments CAN be helped by drugs, but we born again believers are called to be obedient to God's Word and are NOT to use any type of narcotic drug that would put us in an altered state of consciousness, ...that's sorcery in the Bible. The healing of the mind isn't possible by any drug that is man made, that kind if sickness can ONLY be healed by Jesus, ...now, look for yourself, we have a poster that claims to be using drugs to help with their depression, have these drugs been affective, is this person in an altered state of consciousness, ...just look at the behavior displayed here and compare them with the Fruit of the Spirit and you decide if that's the risk you want to take and/or what you want to become like, ...so now you have testimony from both sides of the matter, one who is still in depression and one who isn't.
Also, this isn't a matter of prayer, but rather a decision to walk by faith, Father is using this to cause your faith to grow, remember the man with the withered arm, Jesus said to him to stretch out his arm, he could of argued with Jesus and remained crippled, but we read in faith he stretched out his arm and was healed, it's the same thing for you, I've given you two Scriptures that I have used in faith to be healed.
For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace. Rom 8:6
For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7
Now it's your decision to argue with the Word or to, in faith, appropriate them into your life, they are promises from God to His children to help them in time of need and since they are from God they WILL work.
Also, when I felt discouraged, apathetic, lifeless I went into a pity party, poor me, poor me
, ...the flesh loves that, but we are to crucify the flesh and walk in the Spirit
, what I did was to make obligations and vow to keep them, I guarantee if you do that you will find yourself thinking about and concentrating on serving others and you'll find yourself freed from this test.
Blessings,
Gene
