Breaking the Silence: How Depression Affects Our Relationship with God

Does you son do nothing but sleep all day? Is your son a slob? Does he live at home and unemployed? Does he have uncontrolled emotions? When was the moment you decided your son was a lost cause? Are you ashamed of what he is doing with his life? Are you super worried that he may not make it in this world?
Your son may be suffering from depression. Do not overlook the signs.
How should you pray? Surrender to Jesus who is the source of all graces. His pain is real so give him the space that he needs to deregulate his emotions. Rather than accepting his emotional garbage, stay in a safe environment. Disordered emotions can harm others and can harm the person with a disease. Don’t take it personally. Stay safe as the disease moves to mania to a crushing depression. Respect that he is trying to control the disease that wants to unleash its wrath due to the disordered negative thinking that has become their present reality.
Please ensure the safety of young children and the elderly in this situation.
Know that God is good all the time, your prayers will point them to the direction of the mercy of God. This may require a readjustment of medicines and therapy work. This may require asking help. But never give up on them. Bear the storm with a heart that has joyful Hope.
