A Christians Depression

I have a confession,
I have a problem with depression.
I know I am blessed
But my mind puts me to the test
I do not know why 
Could this depression be Satan working on me?
When this happens I know to go to God on bended knee.
I need to let God in and push Satan out
This I tell you about
Sometimes I feel unloved
But I know I can go to the Lord above
He walks with me and he talks with me
He loves me
Sometimes it gets too tough
Holding back the pain is just too rough
I cry and cry
Sometimes I just want to die
Taking my life I think about
But my family would have to live with out
I do not want to go to hell
Heaven there is a place for me, I know well
Depression stinks
Sometimes I feel like I’m on the brinks
I go to God with Prayer
I know he can hear
I know if I ask for his help he will be there
I just have to learn not to be so stubborn
Sometimes I feel like he shouldn’t waste his time on me
The way I am, I know he does not want me to be
When no one else wants to listen, he will listen to me
At times I feel like no one cares
So I keep it all in and all I have is tears
Then my mind starts wondering and brings on the fears
I pray and pray all the time
Most of the time he heals me
Will this burden of mine get old to him?
Will I no longer have him to heal this struggle?
Will there be no one to give me a snuggle
Even though I do not see him
I know he is there, I can feel him
I know he loves me equally to every one 
For God gave me his only Son
