A few things have contributed to the unraveling of my faith in God. Here are some of them. 1. The Gospel Does Not Work For Me Elder Wilford W. Andersen said , “For some, solutions to depression and anxieties will be found through consultation with competent professionals. But for most of us, sadness...

Wow. So well written and powerful. That song is so poignant. I have griefs that can't be spoken in church and it's tough.

SilentDawning, I am thinking about what you wrote. I once had faith and hope in the afterlife, but now I'm just afraid.

DJ, thanks for your post. I like the thoughts expressed by Joseph B. Wirthlin. I would like to believe in Christ again.

That gives verse 30 a distinct meaning. That punctuation was changed in 1849 by ...

He was talking about happiness and he stated that except for some forms of chronic depression that need to be treated, we are in charge of our own happiness. Maybe that was the one you were looking for. I like that ...

I thought I heard a speaker yesterday refer to "chronic depression" and now I can't find it. Does anyone remember who delivered that talk?
