I have never cried like I cried during this sermon, I don't know if Pastor Rich will ever see this but thank you for this..during the course of when this video was uploaded I had already set a date on when I was going to take my life, I purposely avoided this video because I didn't want anything to stop me because things were hard, dealing with depression is not easy especially when your community does not believe in mental illness. So the night before I was going to take my life. I decided to watch it as "one final thing" I cried so much because God was speaking to me. I forgot how my pain was temporary and that I can make it. After that night I decided to continue fighting. So here I am, renewed spirit and Faith 😊 Thank you Pastor Rich. Maybe one-day I will get to thank you in Person..
Most of the suicide thought are from Demons, God knows best, do good to others to please GOD not to please people and you should have a purpose in life to do good for the sake of GOD only and ask him to bring serenity in your life.
I cried seeing this and we are all glad to see you rise again, as much as you're able to.Welcome to life again.Yeah this process with obstacles within, but as Rich said, permanent obstacles that can be defeated by faith and trust. Love yourself, support your soul and please do what makes your heart feel good.We love u.
When the pastor said “it’s not because you’re not spiritual enough” I thought I was going to cry. I’ve been a Christian for ten years and prayed and read my Bible. Every time I went to speak to a leader at my church about my depression, the response was always “pray about it, you’re not seeking God, you’re not being obedient”. I felt so inadequate. It wasn’t until I sought therapy and medical attention that I felt better. This was such a powerful message.
@@LovePatience32 I've used multiple ways to get therapy. If you have insurance, you can look up covered providers and call covered therapy providers for an appointment. You can also call an employer's employee assistance line and they'll connect you with a therapist for a few sessions who can refer you if you need more sessions. You can also visit websites like talkspace, better help or 7 cups.
The bible says, “Healthy people do not need a physician, but those who are ill do.”-Matthew 9:12. Your mind was unhealthy. I’m so proud of you and God loves you. 🤍
Hey mate, same scenario with me. I'm not suicidal but I know that I'm not okay. I don't know where I should share or consult for help. If I do, then people around me will judge me. How did you reached for help? Please tell. I have accomplished something great in life but now that I'm at the final stage I don't have energy or motivation or idk to take the final step and complete my graduation. I think I'm going to fail. It's been 4 month since I continued trying to complete my project but I can't bring myself to even start it. My activities are so confusing. I want to reach for help, please tell me how did you reached for help. I don't want anybody close to me know about this.
@@SachinSingh-on7ci one thing that helped me a ton was facebook communities specifically for my diagnosis. supporting each other as a community has been pretty great.
I wasn’t ready for this word but I saved this video, last week in prayer a woman came to me and asked “how are you”? And I replied “oh good just tired you know classes have bee-“ she cuts me off and says “no you’re not, I see sadness behind your eyes..” I breakdown crying as no one has cared to ask how I was. Perhaps they didn’t mean to not notice but they didn’t.. I pray and have faith that God gets me through depression but I am glad he sends people to help us. She prayed with me and I know God is doing something in my life. I believed the lie that because I was Christian I was evil for feeling depressed.
depression is so complex. its an ache you cant shake. its bursting into tears randomly. it feels like hopelessness Im going on atleast 17 years of it now. 1 as a completely sober and serious Christian. Pray for my strength to overcome. I have 3 small children that need me to not only survive but to LIVE in the fullness if what God has called me to. Thank you
Today is February 16 2022. it's been 2 years since the first time i watch it and Everytime i feel lonely, anxiety attack me and Depression I came here to watch it again cause it gives me a lot of goosebumps to continue my Life.
Im a survivor of three suicide attempts!And all due to mental illness!Medication,therapy,exercise helps.But,those suicidal thoughts at times are always there.
Thankyou! 🤧 I was on the verge of suicide just now but I didn't give up and search for sermons and I came across this and I feel blessed with the msg. It's so good. I love it. Thankyou. God bless ❤️
Thank you for this message. It's timely. With this word you have removed a great stigma. As a believer, that has suffered melancholic depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation this is refreshing. It's been on my heart as well. I spent 2017 fighting for my life. I was spirit filled and knew God, but I felt nothing and couldnt escape the sorrow. I couldnt remember things and I couldnt feel happiness. Love heals!!!! Keep loving! Keep hugging!! I managed to heal from depression through changing my diet and getting in a healthier environment. You're doing great. I hope people will find that they are not their illness.
My friend has depression and he always tries to be my therapist and when i ask him if he is ok he says yeah im fine. But truly he's not and i really feel bad for him. He says these things that are suicidal and those things are very concerning and scary. I cant imagine what he is going through. He is seeing a therapist so that is good. But still..
He declares " I am a Father to the fatherless... and I will walk with you, and whatever you are missing on earth, your Heavenly Father... He can fill in the gaps!" - hits hard
I supposed to end my life because I’m so tired of other people who mistreat me and it suffocates me, but now I realize that I should live my life, I should treasure life that God gave me, that I should get up and go on. Thank you for this ❤️ Let’s continue praying. God is good All the time.
I'm crying watching this. You don't understand how long I've been told it's because I'm not spiritual enough. I stop, I pray, I try, I do anything to feel that happiness. When I take medication I'm told by the same people about my spirituality that the medicine is God, not what doctors give me. It makes me cry because I know I'm always asking God to help me and I know he does. Just sometimes my depression hits harder some days. I can't believe I was brought to tears.
Odd how I’m feeling so low right now, and have been for years!! feel like I’ve hit rock bottom. I type in ‘depression’, first word…and this guy shows up. Hit the nail in the head everything he said!!!
i do not have the words to express how grateful i am that i came across this video. i’ve felt stuck in a depressive episode for weeks now and i have had to convince myself all day today that suicide is not the answer. ive reached out for help but it was such a passive request that i just felt like a burden and nothing had really come from it. but this sermon is exactly what i needed to hear and i just praise God that this video from several years ago spoke to me tonight. so thank you.
In Jesus name in agreement with God/Holy Spirit always in this message/video about "Suicide".... Everyone will stay blessed and protected always, by faith I claim it God!!! 🙏🏼🙌🏼👂🏼🗣️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼 confirms by scripture/Bible Deuteronomy 28:1-14, Roman's 10:9, Psalm 27:, etc.
Don’t give up and don’t give in! ❤️ The bad, hard times don’t last forever! I’ve been there and can tell you from experience that God is faithful and He will get you through it! He gives us abundantly more than we can ask, think or hope for! The word of God (Bible) is like good medicine! Find verses that speaks to your heart and mind and cling to them! Hold onto the Lord and the promises of God! He will never leave you nor forsake you! The Lord bless you on your beautiful journey of life and please always remember that you are loved and you were preciously created on purpose by God for a purpose! To God be all the glory for the plans that He has for your life! ❤️
This video really helped me today when I was having panic attacks and my depression episode was coming back. Thanks a lot Pastor Rich for your kind words and also making us realise that "We matter". I hope i meet you in person someday.
I need to hear this for far too long. My anxiety and depression have over taken my life to the point I I barely go out anymore. And it's gotten me to the point I can't walk unassisted.
I've had depression for over 17 years (diagnosed). I've have fought against it every two years, taking a year to recover. I really wanted to thank you for talking about this on point. I might just add that some of the pain can come from a very long time, and it's not only a matter of a temporary issue. Sometimes it takes over half of your life and it just consumes you from the inside. Again, thank you for bringing this into the light.
Hey Lyra!! My partner is facing this for the last 10 years and I'm looking for recommendations 🙏 maybe could you give me an idea of what to do to support her fighting it? I really want to help but feel unless to help. She's having a therapist once a week all ready! Wishing you a good energy a'd vibes ⚡🙏

I don’t know how to explain this, but I’ll try I was religious until I was 9 years old and I had a terrible experience with the specific church I went to those nine years. I am very religiously traumatized. I am still not religious whatsoever, but this is the first time I’ve felt *safe* while indulging in religious content. It’s been years since I’ve been able to hear someone pray without rolling my eyes or building a detest for that person (not on purpose, it’s just a touchy subject for me that harms me), but I felt like for once this group, this church, this prayer is good for people
I so get what you are talking about. I've been traumatized by people in positions of religious/Christian leadership and the trauma is extremely painful. I'm sorry you've gone through what you've gone thorough. I felt safe also listening to him too. I hope this video continues to help many more people for years to come. Take care abigailgoodey1137 💮
Mental illness is real. It is in our head. I take medication 💊 and see a therapist. I've also had ECT's. Electrical Convulsion Therapy. They've done studies and found that people who have seizures don't suffer depression as much. I have been laying in bed for months but after this I'm going to get up. I have been isolating and not eating, my hygiene is bad. My doctor keeps telling me I'm on the highest dose of antidepressants but I still feel depressed and anxious. She won't change my medication so I'm changing doctors. You are preaching to me. I needed to hear this badly. Thank you God led me to this. I'm also having problems sleeping.
Getting down on your knees and crying out to God will help you a lot more than calling that hotline also reading the bible asking God to show you scriptures to read and watching positive sermons and fasting and praying and listening to worship music will help you immensely. How do I know this? I've been there and only God has been able to rescue me and kept me alive. Therapists and medicine only worked temporarily. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
All you did right here was contradict exactly what he was preaching. How is that something you were ok doing. God gave us free will and he has made us all different, not everything is going to work for everyone the exact same.
PTL I was so down today. I battle with depression and I am a Christian. I have battled it since my baby died at 14 days old from a heart murmur. Now I have times I really have bad days. If it wasn't for the Lord I couldn't have made it. I came across your sermon it was just what I needed. So thank you. And everyone out there you can make it just keep looking for a pastor that has a word you need. PTL 🙏
i see this years later cam across it when i was crying looking for a good preaching and this video caught my eye glad it did really opened my eyes a bit to see that my depression is only here for the short run and not long run because i hate this closing feeling it aches so bad
This is very great message, now . . 2 years ago I wish I would have seen this then because it spoke to me. I spent my life being depressed and worrying about what others thought about me. THANK YOU JESUS. I'm LIVInG FOR THE WORLD TO SEE NOBODY,BUT JESUS.
Just had a rough moment. I went to walk through a house inspection with my husband with whom I will soon be separated. Rough!!! That was supposed to be our house! God get me through this season!
YESSS! All this! I'm Insta-storying some of these pieces. ah! Talk to yourself; don't listen to the bad stream of thought and anxiety! Fatherlessness! We need people.
just an hour before i have watched this video, i was a person who was having a hope but there was no power to make it truth. thanks rich for this beautiful session because now i feel that i have a lot of things to do for me, for my family and my society. you are fabulous ..... m thankful to god that he gave me a chance to feel the power of positivity.
Before watching this I was feeling down & didn’t feel the need to live but after watching this I see every reason to live my pain is only temporary & God will come through for me I receive this message in Jesus mighty name may he help everyone who is thinking about ending there lives & going through depression💕we love you stay strong 💪🏾 🙏🏾
Such lines in this video has saved me and I believe it was the work of God. Now I worry less, and keep on trusting God, and I barely got depress, I even attended a church which could help my faith.
Last night Saturday night my daughter took a hand full of sleeping medication wanting to take her life . A friend of hers found out and called 911 and a ambulance came to her house and took her to the ER. She is alive praise GOD !! They sent her to a hospital in Fremont Ca. Where there are a lot of other people that have tried to do the same and others that deal with mental health issues. My daughter was raised in the church and loves our Father and our king Jesus so all of this is crazy to my wife and I. I would ask for anyone reading this to please pray for her. Her name is Sophia Chavez. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ 🙏🏼
Whatever our reasons may be, your daughter and I are in the same dark place. I pray that we both will be able to break through this and emerge victorious. Sending prayers and well wishes to her and also to your family. God be with us ❤️
It's been 3yrs when he posted this video and only becz of some stuff like this i believe there's some hope in future. " Best days were not behind they are front of us , you just have to get up " .
fear is always false evidence appearing real" 30:18 You have to open up to people to go through this. When anxiety kicks in, your thoughts become faulty...you have to be vulnerable in order to overcome it. We cannot afford to go through anxiety and depression along. And we should not. 39:40 get up 42:00 45:08 ❤️
Ever since I was born all that I want is to die…….I had a bipolar disorder, I was depressed, I was addicted to drugs, and I felt empty. but at the age of 18, I met Jesus and He saved my life. He took away my bipolar, my depression, my addictions, and my suicidal thoughts. and I trully believe that He can do the same for you if you come to Him. God loves you..….more than you could ever imagine. I pray that every one of you will always find happiness and love in your life. God bless.
Please pray for me. I have been a Christian my whole life but have not been delivered. I have tried everything. I don’t feel any joy or peace. I never naturally smile or feel hope. I have recently been doubting God because of all the verses in the Bible that say He allows our suffering and we are supposed to be thankful for it. I just don’t understand anything anymore. I just want to want to be alive. I pray all day for years. I’m so tired.
When my mother died in 2015 my pastor and the church came and I only stayed for 10 minutes after that I tried to hang on to God but I started working two jobs eventually I went to California to live with my pastor so I can grab ahold of God even more and I didn't finish I had to go back home my pastor wouldn't even drive me to the airport the whole reason I went to California and grab a hold of God was because I was going through a depression not due to my mother dying but because I couldn't progress had a job that could only see my disability till this day I am questioning my place in God's book do I need to stop grabbing a hold of God does he want me in this new church all I want to do is connect with them and until today that was hard to do
I was depressed for a few years...I'm a nurse so I had access to medication that could have done it..but I decided to visit a therapist to figure out what was causing my depression...I have a chemical imbalance in my brain..I needed medication...I take it now and I want to live but my ears are always tuned into the sky waiting for the trumpet to sound and Jesus will lift me up to him..I'm his bride and he is my husband...not sexually people so don't misunderstand...we male and female are all the Bride of Christ!!!!
"Depression isn't just in your mind, it's in your stomach" he says as I experience a surge of anguish and dread in the deep pits of my intestines.
Duuuude..that's me as well..its a never ending fear inside my body that just won't go away
Shouldn’t have eaten that taco frfr
Me too and I have IBS also so 💀 it’s like super excruciating and a lot of times I can get confused on which one is causing the pain at that moment
He's right, not only is it a deep feeling in the pit of my stomach but it literally messes with my stomach. I need to trust God more.

Man U just described the lowest phase of my life perfectly explained 💯
Thank you so much. Listening in 2022. Suicide is not only way to stop my pain.
Churches need to talk about this more instead of pretending it doesn’t exist
December 2023- On the other side of deliverance from suicidal ideation. Very good sermon on this. Spot on!
it makes me cry even more when he screams in the mic something insparational
Lol
Im a survivor of three suicide attempts!And all due to mental illness!Medication,therapy,exercise helps.But,those suicidal thoughts at times are always there.
Now I started believing in destiny...
4 years late to see this but still happy. Thanks

I totally agree. It is too much trouble for even "good Christians" to reach out to someone drowning. I keep going and keep trying to trust God.🙏🏻

Talk about this. God bless
You described depression perfectly. Good answers, good responses, overall an accurate and spirit lead message.
I came across this randomly while going through a bunch of videos about depression. This has helped me a lot when I really needed it. Thank you.
From that short clip about depression and anxiety on tiktok i watched almost his all videos in search of that clip
I need to hear this for far too long. My anxiety and depression have over taken my life to the point I I barely go out anymore. And it's gotten me to the point I can't walk unassisted.
Saw this Sunday morning at Vous Church ... I think this was one of the BEST I've ever heard him preach. 🙌
I agree!
Tik tok brought me here .thank you Pastor. ... I really needed to hear this
It's the most horrendous feeling
I've had depression for over 17 years (diagnosed). I've have fought against it every two years, taking a year to recover. I really wanted to thank you for talking about this on point.

I so get what you are talking about. I've been traumatized by people in positions of religious/Christian leadership and the trauma is extremely painful. I'm sorry you've gone through what you've gone thorough.
I felt safe also listening to him too.
I hope this video continues to help many more people for years to come. Take care abigailgoodey1137 💮
I saw this from an IG reel not recognizing the man , have already seen and attended his sessions at GLS. Amazing!m,God's grace
Mental illness is real. It is in our head. I take medication 💊 and see a therapist. I've also had ECT's. Electrical Convulsion Therapy. They've done studies and found that people who have seizures don't suffer depression as much. I have been laying in bed for months but after this I'm going to get up. I have been isolating and not eating, my hygiene is bad. My doctor keeps telling me I'm on the highest dose of antidepressants but I still feel depressed and anxious. She won't change my medication so I'm changing doctors. You are preaching to me. I needed to hear this badly. Thank you God led me to this. I'm also having problems sleeping.
Everything is going to be okay, your taking the steps to change that is in your control, let God do the rest because he will!
Getting down on your knees and crying out to God will help you a lot more than calling that hotline also reading the bible asking God to show you scriptures to read and watching positive sermons and fasting and praying and listening to worship music will help you immensely. How do I know this? I've been there and only God has been able to rescue me and kept me alive. Therapists and medicine only worked temporarily. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
It's not a one size fits all. What worked for you may not work for someone else. Sometimes it takes Jesus and a therapist.
God bless you ❤
All you did right here was contradict exactly what he was preaching. How is that something you were ok doing. God gave us free will and he has made us all different, not everything is going to work for everyone the exact same.
Wow so true God is more powerful than that phone call
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem - been struggling for 40 years - problem has not gone away

GOD SAVED
ME FROM MYSELF
Takes the COURAGE of a WARRIOR to ask for HELP.
GOD never left me when others walked away!
I needed this. Jesus is working on everyone who watches and receives this message. 🙏🏽❤️🔥 Praying for nothing but LOVE!
PTL I was so down today. I battle with depression and I am a Christian. I have battled it since my baby died at 14 days old from a heart murmur. Now I have times I really have bad days. If it wasn't for the Lord I couldn't have made it. I came across your sermon it was just what I needed. So thank you. And everyone out there you can make it just keep looking for a pastor that has a word you need. PTL 🙏
i see this years later cam across it when i was crying looking for a good preaching and this video caught my eye glad it did really opened my eyes a bit to see that my depression is only here for the short run and not long run because i hate this closing feeling it aches so bad
Pastor nailed it with perfect words, things, feelings, situation 💯💯
I just had the privilege to see Rick at Hillsong NY last week. He's incredible! It is a treat to see him live, excellent pastor.
“My mission has not been destroyed by my depression” 🙌🙌
That guy makes me understand so many things that i knew but i didn't pay attention to them!
Thank you ❤️
This message is so needed today in the world not only the church.
The perfect time for this rhema word.
Miss church but thankful we can watch it on here. What a refreshing word that was needed.
Watching over here in the Philippines I'm experiencing it since I'm 8 years old.
But i Believing God to Heal me.
This is very great message, now . . 2 years ago I wish I would have seen this then because it spoke to me. I spent my life being depressed and worrying about what others thought about me. THANK YOU JESUS. I'm LIVInG FOR THE WORLD TO SEE NOBODY,BUT JESUS.
Amazing thank you! Really really helpful.
Spot on pastor... Thanks for taking the condemnation out of mental illness..
Just had a rough moment. I went to walk through a house inspection with my husband with whom I will soon be separated. Rough!!! That was supposed to be our house! God get me through this season!
YESSS! All this! I'm Insta-storying some of these pieces. ah! Talk to yourself; don't listen to the bad stream of thought and anxiety! Fatherlessness! We need people.
just an hour before i have watched this video, i was a person who was having a hope but there was no power to make it truth. thanks rich for this beautiful session because now i feel that i have a lot of things to do for me, for my family and my society. you are fabulous ..... m thankful to god that he gave me a chance to feel the power of positivity.
Thank you for this. Refreshing perspective.
So powerful… I’ve never had a sermon of this topic relayed this way. Thank you Pastor
one of the best talks I have ever watched in my life. Thanks!
After this, so much was cleaned in my mind!
Before watching this I was feeling down & didn’t feel the need to live but after watching this I see every reason to live my pain is only temporary & God will come through for me I receive this message in Jesus mighty name may he help everyone who is thinking about ending there lives & going through depression💕we love you stay strong 💪🏾 🙏🏾
Such lines in this video has saved me and I believe it was the work of God. Now I worry less, and keep on trusting God, and I barely got depress, I even attended a church which could help my faith.
Last night Saturday night my daughter took a hand full of sleeping medication wanting to take her life . A friend of hers found out and called 911 and a ambulance came to her house and took her to the ER. She is alive praise GOD !! They sent her to a hospital in Fremont Ca. Where there are a lot of other people that have tried to do the same and others that deal with mental health issues. My daughter was raised in the church and loves our Father and our king Jesus so all of this is crazy to my wife and I. I would ask for anyone reading this to please pray for her. Her name is Sophia Chavez. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ 🙏🏼
Whatever our reasons may be, your daughter and I are in the same dark place. I pray that we both will be able to break through this and emerge victorious. Sending prayers and well wishes to her and also to your family. God be with us ❤️
Will be praying for her 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sorry to hear. Fortunately it is impossible to kill oneself using modern sleeping pills. They changed those pills long ago.
Praying. I've been there. I nearly lost my life because of it.
I have thoughts and a plan, but it will get better this year or, I use the plan
Hope things get better for you.
@@bandoogiemanz it has too
Came here from a reel, stayed here for my mental health
I'm sorry for your uncle condolences to you and your family
You are the church!
Thank you.
This hit me hard, I cried
Like Elijah, maybe God sent His Angels to lead us to the "bread and water" nourishment of this video. Thank you Lord God, this is amazing🙌
this sermon its totally amazing, pastor Rich you're blessed for God
It's been 3yrs when he posted this video and only becz of some stuff like this i believe there's some hope in future. " Best days were not behind they are front of us , you just have to get up " .
fear is always false evidence appearing real" 30:18
You have to open up to people to go through this. When anxiety kicks in, your thoughts become faulty...you have to be vulnerable in order to overcome it. We cannot afford to go through anxiety and depression along. And we should not.

Thank you brother for this paver full ms
I wanna be like you when i grow up.
Bravo 👏👏👏
I’m not ok. I’ve been praying and things have only become worse.
i’m here for you! ♥️
Ever since I was born all that I want is to die…….I had a bipolar disorder, I was depressed, I was addicted to drugs, and I felt empty. but at the age of 18, I met Jesus and He saved my life. He took away my bipolar, my depression, my addictions, and my suicidal thoughts. and I trully believe that He can do the same for you if you come to Him. God loves you..….more than you could ever imagine. I pray that every one of you will always find happiness and love in your life.
God bless.
Please pray for me. I have been a Christian my whole life but have not been delivered. I have tried everything. I don’t feel any joy or peace. I never naturally smile or feel hope. I have recently been doubting God because of all the verses in the Bible that say He allows our suffering and we are supposed to be thankful for it. I just don’t understand anything anymore. I just want to want to be alive. I pray all day for years. I’m so tired.
When my mother died in 2015 my pastor and the church came and I only stayed for 10 minutes after that I tried to hang on to God but I started working two jobs eventually I went to California to live with my pastor so I can grab ahold of God even more and I didn't finish I had to go back home my pastor wouldn't even drive me to the airport the whole reason I went to California and grab a hold of God was because I was going through a depression not due to my mother dying but because I couldn't progress had a job that could only see my disability till this day I am questioning my place in God's book do I need to stop grabbing a hold of God does he want me in this new church all I want to do is connect with them and until today that was hard to do
I'm so sorry that Pastor pout your through that. God bless you - God loves you, keep looking to Him He has all the answers🌷
Real talk Pastor! Preach it 😇
I was depressed for a few years...I'm a nurse so I had access to medication that could have done it..but I decided to visit a therapist to figure out what was causing my depression...I have a chemical imbalance in my brain..I needed medication...I take it now and I want to live but my ears are always tuned into the sky waiting for the trumpet to sound and Jesus will lift me up to him..I'm his bride and he is my husband...not sexually people so don't misunderstand...we male and female are all the Bride of Christ!!!!
