Evidence for God from Science

I'm not happy with life.. I'm constantly depressed, in a slump.. it seems like no matter what I do I can not become happy.. I have spent a lot of time researching and trying to believe in God and the word, I think I believe... but IDK..

I pray and talk to God everynight, I try to get answers.. why am I always so angry? Why don't I find enjoyment in life? Why despite my prayers and my attempts to stop sinning do I still feel this way? I feel as if I am worse off than ever before... What am i to do?

Many people in the Bible had depression:

I am with you.

When I was in high school and then again in early college years, I was depressed more often than not. at youth group I'd always bring that up. We prayed about it but it never fully went away. In retrospect, I know part of it was seasonal. I want to say the rest was spiritual. I think what helped me the most was a series of really terrible situations that helped me put priorities in order. It is strange for me to think that harder times actually helped, but I know they did.

I'm not saying to go look for trouble. It always bound to find us anyway. Just know that you aren't the only one and it doesn't last forever. Someday, you'll be all the better for it.

I went through depression, anger, panic disorder through my college years. I can't speak for you, but for me it was very much tied to my spiritual life.

Can you be more specific in what you by, 'trying to believe in God.'

One thing I try to remind myself of all the time is that you do have to build on those foundations and live the full Christian life. Sounds like you're doing some of the praying. Yoda isn't always Biblical, but I think his "Do or do not, there is no try" has some application to it. Build your relationship with God. Trust in him and you don't need to carry these burdens yourself. What you're going through really is natural and crops up even with mature Christians. But growing spiritually certainly helps.

I can't speak for you, but when I have had doubts I rarely found them to even really be founded on anything substantial. In other words, I did my homework and knew that there was a sufficient reasonable foundation for a reasonable faith in God... but doubt, skepticism, and questions... these things can be emotionally based as well and often are. When I came at things from a balanced, reasonable perspective, doubts and depression really weren't an issue (I also feel like I've been blessed with a temperament that makes depression a pretty rare thing).

As that Gotquestions link pointed out, clinical depression is real as well. Time (sometimes you just need to accept and live through certain seasons in life), faith, and growth... those are three of the best things I can think of.
