End of Watch: The Story of Mandisa

[@justifiedbyjeury]

Mandisa left behind a great collection of music filled with uplifting messages. Check below for a few of my personal favorites. “Only The World” “Good Morning” “Overcomer” “You Wouldn’t Cry” “Praying For You”

Her death was announced on my phone and I went to KZbin and couldn’t find anything on her. Yet you came through with a great bio and tribute within hours! You have talked about your own struggle with depression and I know it is hard. But your journalism talent is the best! Continue doing what you do and I pray for more subs today and in the future. Amazing work and thank you.

I too have dealt with depression and most definitely food addictions. I've been overweight my entire life. I sympathize with the struggle she faced and don't wish it on any one. Her music gave me strength and will continue to do so.

I went on a product called Retatrutide which is an advanced form of Ozempec and it changed my life. My blood sugar is balanced, my appetite is stabilized, I’m finally not tortured mentally. Besides that, there is hope in Christ. I pray for you to completely delivered of this bondage. If you get a chance, watch breaking the stronghold of food Vlad Savchuk and Dr. Michael Brown. It will help!

[@brianandlindamckeever3779]

I know of many, MANY Christians who struggle with insecurity and depression and there are many people, even the prophets who were depressed in the Bible, especially as they saw the people not responding to God or leaving behind His ways. God bless you, Mandisa, I am glad you are with Jesus now! Our world is broken and this is NOT our home, it's easy to be depressed here!

How is it possible that I miss someone so much that I have never met, and mourn their passing? Her songs have brought me through my darkest hours. I consciously try to carry her with me as I move forward in my life since her death. I catch myself saying “Come on Mandisa we’re gonna do this together, I gotcha girl..“ Losing Mandisa is losing a source of light in this world. I pray she rests in peace.

[@lgreen9932]

Thank you for doing this wonderful tribute to Mandisa! What a beautiful woman and a beautiful spirit! As a plus sized black woman myself, her struggle with depression and being overweight hits home. I love that she eventually persevered beyond the criticism and lead a positive life. At the end of the day, she was still human and so that means we are not in this world without continuous trials and tribulations. There’s only so much we can take sometimes. I believe she wholeheartedly did the very best she could to be a great human being. I wish we had more people in the world like this. I never heard anything bad about her. May her memory live on in those who truly loved and appreciated her. She was the ultimate OVERCOMER. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😢❤💐

After I had a stroke and sometimes I would be working on a machine to strengthen my arms and legs is when I listened to Overcomer all the time. I started out after my stroke in a wheelchair and had to go to physical therapy to be able to walk again. I recovered from my stroke and a few years later I had cancer and went through chemo. One of the songs I listened to a lot was Overcomer. I needed the encouragement to keep going and not give up hope that I was going to survive. My attitude was that by the grace of God that I was going to survive cancer. After my 1st round of chemo I had sepsis, so I was taken off all chemo and got 1 IV every 4 hours for 2 weeks. I survived my sepsis and then went back to getting chemo. I had 5 more rounds of chemo to go. I had 20 more sessions of chemo to go through. I’m still alive by the grace of God. I really should have died. But praise God I’m still alive.

I agree 100% . Every time you go for your annual dr.s visit, they get you in a small little room, look at their computer ,then ask, "Are you depressed?! Seriously, most depressed people aren't going to be truthful ,they are ashamed and don't want medicine controlling their minds. Or be titled . At least she was open about her struggles.

[@cupcake1406]

​@@tammybuscher5310 I agree with you. Many people feel ashamed about having to take medicine for depression and anxiety. I have seen and heard pastors shame people that are having mentally struggles and are in despair discourage them from seeking doctors. Many times you can pray, fast, have a group of people praying for you, fasting,read the Bible,etc. But you need medicine to treat the chemical imbalance in your brain in order to overcome the anxiety and depression. It is like is someone has diabetes, they have to check their blood sugars, Dr may increase or decrease the insulin based on their blood sugars. She was a wonderful woman of God.❤

[@shylee2235]

I found out about her passing yesterday, I’m so saddened by her passing. When I turned away from secular music Mandisa gospel music was the first songs I lived on.

The circumstances of her passing were so sad. For someone who brought so much positivity and brought happiness to so many people, it's heartbreaking that she died alone. Ultimately, we all die alone, but there was no one with her during those final moments. Mandisa; you will be greatly missed.

[@Neillan]

The more I learn about the music industry and the various inner workings, the more I absolutely despise it. So much exploitation, bigotry and suffering. An overpaid distraction run by degens that eats kind, creative people like Mandisa and spits them out ruined and dead. Yet she rose above all that and did the best she could for herself and others, with grace and class like no one else. She truly deseved more time in this world, but she honored God throughout her life and is now with him eternally. Wish I learned more about her sooner, although I have heard her music before.

I was blessed to see Mandisa the last time she was singing with Travis at a Beth Moore ladies conference. She absolutely had the most amazing voice I have ever heard. Then I watched her on Idol and I think Simon is a bully that needs Jesus. He upset me so bad how he treated this beautiful talented woman. The second time I had a VIP pass to a concert and Mandisa came out before the concert and answered questions. She was burdened, trying to be happy, I struggled with anxiety and depression and I could tell something was wrong. She was out of shape,had to sit on the stool to sing and sweat pouring down her face. A few years later she was on tour with Toby Mac and she told her testimony about her friends death and her depression. She preached that night!!! She didn’t sing she sang!!! She didn’t sit on a stool either that Sister was all over that stage praising our Lord and Savior!!! I don’t know what caused her death, but I know Mandisa is singing praises in Heaven and she is at peace forever and ever. Thank you Mandisa for sharing your beautiful talent with us and we will see you again!!!🙌🏻🙏🏻

I can't stand Simon Cowell. But yeah, I never even realized what a beautiful sister in Christ Mandisa was until now. I just always took her for granted!

[@Jesus_Saves_Believers]

Also, your comment is very touching. God bless you, beautiful sister.

Watching this has really inspired me because this week I went through some hard hurts from my own pastor that calls himself an apostle but treated me like crap but I know for a fact that God is own my side an I will never be defeated. 😊

[@debbytidwell9870]

Prayers for you. I was hurt badly by a pastor. In the end I learned to lean on God more than man.

She was the 1st Christian singer I fell in ❤ with. I too have struggled with my weight especially now in heart failure. It's frustrating to hear what others say about us and not know the story behind it. I am very sadden of Mandisa's passing. The words in her songs spoke to me.

[@peaches0191]

Such a sad loss to hear about.😔 I loved her music. Depression in this country is a taboo, causing many to shun away from help, oftentimes leading to one's demise.😢

Her overcomer song kept me going last year around this time.... when nothing made sense to me... may her beautiful soul rest in power!

[@marieclark4609]

Well she was a beautiful person inside and out my heart is truly broken she was one of my favorite Christian singers I'm praying family and friends💔😭😇🙏
