Please don’t give up hope. Obviously I don’t know your situation in detail but in general I’d say to you try to build as much basic and simple routine into your life as possible – sleeping hours, daily exercise, good diet, friends, church, fellowship. That may not remove the depression on its own, but it will mitigate it, and continue on meds if prescribed by your doctor. And look to the Lord to bless these means as He has for many before you who are now well again.

It’s hard to go through right now. I have treatment resistant major depression and was turned down for TMS therapy. It seems every door is closed now. Life is so far off track that it will never be productive again. I used to have a good education but am only fit for the most menial low paying jobs. I must learn to somehow joyfully accept this.

They are very practical and help remove the cloud of emotion. Some of your questions test the heart, some of your questions challenge possible poor decision-making processes of our past. We need down to earth help, and you always give it. Thank you. Your ministry is well-named, and has been a great blessing to me and others I know.

We need both the theological reflection and the practical help. I was working on the theological side in class yesterday with my MDiv Counseling students, but thought the practical questions would be more helpful in a blog setting.

I’m surprised about your comment that “theologians of all times” warn against “reading God’s providence.” Maybe I’m not understanding you correctly here, but every sound conservative book I’ve read on the subject does include this as a factor – not a big factor, not a priority factor , and not a detached-from-the-Bible factor, but definitely a factor.

Maybe an example would help. If someone is considering whether I’m called to be an American footballer and I’m only 5 ft and 150lbs, that’s a providential indicator that they are probably not called to that profession. Similarly, if I’m considering whether to be a teacher and yet I can’t pass basic exams, again that’s a providential indicator that I should probably consider another calling. So, it’s not talking about cloud shapes or tea leaves, but pretty basic common sense observations about talents, opportunities, etc., given or denied by God’s providence.

Each of my questions could do with more explanation, but that’s probably more suitable for a PhD than a blog! If I’m reading providence correctly :)
