biblical examples

“I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands and my soul refused to be comforted. You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak. I thought about the former days, the years of long ago; I remembered my songs in the night My heart mused and my spirit enquired.” Ps 77

“My heart is blighted and withered like grass; I forget to eat my food. Because of my loud groaning I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like a desert owl among the ruins. I lie awake” Ps 102

“My soul is full of trouble; I am like a man without strength. You have put me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths. My eyes are dim with grief. I have suffered your terrors and am in despair…the darkness is my closest friend” Ps 88

mild depression

symptoms - mostly emotional changes (low, miserable, weepy),

few repetitive behaviour

changes (poor sleep, no interest),

some loss of

energy (TATT – tired all the time)often

lasts for about 6 monthsusually recovers spontaneously without treatment

rest, exercise, good diet, planning enjoyable activitiesgood

emotional support and encouragement

12Slide13

moderate depression

symptoms - marked emotional

changes (guilt, despair, hopelessness, better off dead),

many changes to repetitive

behaviours (EMW, weight loss, unable to work, forgetful),

marked energy changes (agitation or lethargy)

requires medication“cognitive behaviour therapy” (CBT) helpful, but difficult to obtain

encouragement, emotional support and help to resolve difficulties that could maintain the condition

it usually responds to treatment over a 3-6 month period, but can persist for many years.

13Slide14

severe depression

symptoms - as for moderate depression, plus abnormal distressing beliefs and hearing voices that say derogatory things, failure to eat or

drink - EXAMPLE

it

is an emergency, usually requiring hospital in-patient

care

requires treatment with two types of medicationantidepressantsantipsychotics

the quickest and safest form of treatment is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) which is controversial but often life-savingo

ther forms of support and help are requiredcarers need particular help and support

14Slide15

severe depressions

severe depression is regarded as one of the most terrible afflictions that can affect a person

the

degree of distress, anguish and torment is awful to

witness

sufferers may repeatedly make serious attempts to kill themselves in order to escape the horror of their condition or because they believe they deserve to die and the world would be better off without

them15% completed suicide rate

 

15Slide16

severe depression

sometimes severe depression fluctuates with abnormally high mood swings

elation

, unshakeable overconfidence and irritability, hypersexual behaviour, copious spending, grandiose schemes, and frantic

energy

this condition is known as manic-depressive

psychosis or bipolar affective disorder. It is not to be confused with the “up-and-down” emotional states commonly experienced by many peoplesevere depression and manic elation can co-exist at the same time

16Slide17

Timothy Rogers 1658 - 1728

look upon your distressed friend as under on of the worst distempers to which this miserable life is exposed.

treat

those who are under this disease with tender compassion.

never

use harsh language to your friends when under the disease of melancholy.if you would possess any influence over your friends in this unhappy state of mind, you must be careful not to express any want of confidence in what they relate of their own feelings and distresses.

do not urge your melancholy friends to do what is out of their power.

do not attribute the effects of mere disease to the devil.do not express much surprise or wonder at any thing which melancholy persons say or do.do

not tell them any frightful stories, nor recount to them the sad disasters which have overtaken others.do not, however, think it needless to talk with them. Encourage them to hope for a speedy recovery.it

will be useful to tell them of others who have been in the same state of suffering and yet have been delivered.the next thing you are to do for your melancholy friends is to pray for them.

not only pray for them yourself, but engage other Christian friends also to pray for them.put your poor afflicted friends in mind, continually, of the sovereign grace of God in Jesus Christ.

17Slide18

spiritual approaches

most common causes of feeling down and tired

attitudes

relationships

circumstances

when we start to lose hope we begin to go

down, and as we go down we lose hopewe cannot

always change our relationships - despite "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone" (Rom 12:18) we sometimes have to live with opposition

, conflict and confrontation we cannot always change our circumstances - learn

to be contented: "for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through him who gives me strength" (Phil 4:11-13

) however

, we can change our attitudes

18Slide19

spiritual approaches - hope

hope and rejoicing go togetherhopelessness

and misery go

together (hopelessness/attempted suicide)

 

examples of scriptural links between hope and joy

:

hope and rejoicing are interwoven e.g. "May the God of hope fill you with all

joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope

by the power of the Holy Spirit." Rom 15:13

19Slide20

spiritual approaches – remember/think

prescription: (

a)

remember and think about

God

(b) cling to God (put your trust in God)(c) give thanks to God

 a) deliberately put your hope in God, no matter what you feel like, as the counter-argument to feelings and thoughts of hopelessness

Ps 42:5 “Why are you cast down, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God”

REMEMBER AND THINK LONG AND HARD about what God is like his love and

tender care (you must understand that the Lord loves you in spite of what you are like)his sovereignty (he is totally in control of all things, even your current mood!)his providence (he will provide all that you need)

what he has done, that he can do it all again (forgive, strengthen, equip)his

"compassions never fail. They are new every morning" (Lam 3:22,23).20Slide21

spiritual approaches – cling/give thanks

b) CLING to God

(holding on to truth, despite feeling

unbelief) and

pray

even if it feels that "no prayer can get through" (Lam 3:44)

"My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me" (Ps 63:8)so that you can

entrust yourself to the Lordc) give THANKS AND PRAISE to God

for who he is, what he has donefor the fact that he is with you now and forever

that he is taking you to be with him to share his glory for eternitythis is helpful even when we are downcast, because it is fact, not fantasy, and therefore can encourage

us (give us hope and joy) 1 Thess 5:10,11 "He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore

encourage one another.."1 Thess 4:13-18 "And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other

with these words."

21Slide22

spiritual approaches in action

“Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion? Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years of the right hand of the Lord Most High” Ps 77:9,19

“My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass. But you, O LORD, sit enthroned for ever; your renown endures through all generations. You will arise and have compassion on Zion; for it is time to show favour to her; the appointed time has come” Ps 102:11-13

“I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this

I call to mind and therefore I have hope

: Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness” Lam 3:19-23

“I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled. Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD. I will be joyful in God my Saviour. The Sovereign LORD is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights”

Hab

3:16-19

22Slide23

spiritual approaches in action

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances (e.g. when you are depressed),

for this is God's will for you in Christ

Jesus“ 1

Thess

5:16 "Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our God reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear." (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints). Then the angel said to me, "Write; "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!"" And he added, "

These are the true words of

God“ Rev 19:6-9

23Slide24

spiritual approaches in action

“He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not…He was oppressed and afflicted…he was cut off from the land of the living…Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him and cause him to suffer…after the suffering of his soul he will see the light of life and be satisfied.”

He is able to sympathise with our weaknesses

24Slide25

for carers

you are likely to experience helplessness, worry, frustration, angersuggestions:pray and read the Bible with the depressed person if they can manage it

don’t judge, and don’t assume you know the cause or the solution

listen, but also speak – gently, kindly, but questioning false beliefs, giving simple advice, praising progress

share the load as much as you can

use helpful Bible verses – that reassure the Lord is in control, that the Lord forgives sin, that he loves his people, that he hears prayer, that he sympathises with our weaknesses, that we will be with him one day – but don’t be insensitive and beat the depressed person with them

get support for yourself and get breaks if you can
