I think depression makes us feel that God has left us, however, I have been told many times this is not true. Without getting into too much detail online, I believe there is a reason for the mess we are in; in general it is outlined in "In The Beginning". If you believe what it says there, you will know with confidence that God is going to save us out of the mess the world is in. As for personal heart aches that come our way, deaths of loved ones etc., and shortcomings and sins that start in the mind and can lead to immoral actions, these too can be covered if one believes God forgives those asking. Lastly there is hope that everything will eventually be straightened out. That is why my faith has kept me alive, along with support of my husband. Doctors and medicines contribute by keeping me in a more stable frame of mind, so that I can think logically about the above. I believe that eventually God will even take away depression forever.
