The cause is of me feeling like God has rejected me and my prayers.
How do you know that? Have you seen someone qualified to treat depression in the last year? Did you get a professional diagnosis?
Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. There are a variety of treatments and therapies. I truly hope, as I did a year ago, you seek help from someone qualified to treat depression. That's not strangers on the internet no matter how well meaning. You can feel better. But first you need to do your part. Get a professional diagnosis and a plan for treatment.

When Jesus said to leave the family and follow me , he was talking about the customs and influence from atheism and other religions could have on people , for example : like you have a man in a Muslim family would may have to leave his family to be converted to Christians , as some area people would kill the man for doing that...............See that is what Jesus was talking about with leave the family and follow me
And they also are from people who have no connection with each other either. Yet they all have powerful callings, visions, and purposes to do before the end times. Guys, what's the best way to view this? A couple of mine have been:
1. So much for hoping, desiring things such as a family, better friends, being healed from this depression.
2. I can't help but feel we are game pieces caught in between a battle between Good and evil.
3. Some of these prophecies, dreams and visions are so evil and devastating. How can I believe God is love when families will be torn apart, children from parents?
4. God calls to leave our families if need be, why can't we love them and God? Why does he insist on his way, no matter the cost? He will make you love or hope for something but purposely withhold it to test you just like Abraham sacrificing Isaac seems like.
5. His righteousness is first and foremost I've learned painfully. He will have that before his love, or helping rescue us.
6. All of these stories, dreams and advice and signs of the end times severely depresses me. I have no choice but to submit and follow God. But I will never consider it joy, or expect good things from him. People dying, getting raped and murdered. Creation destroyed ? And we are told not to worry, do what he wants and his way.
7. I feel like we were worth more then that, more then this.
I have no idea how I will be able to trust God or say I love him as he lets this world and most people be destroyed. Get our hopes up, broken families and horrible pain. Some will die from the fear and shock of the events even. I really don't think I'm called a Christian, or sold out. It's not in my heart to I guess.
Lastly, makes you think of how stupid and pointless life is. Wash the car, go to work to clean, all for what? For them to get dirty again? For the buildings to be eventually torn down or blown up, and we die. Have a family to love and care for, only to be called to leave them, or for them or yourself to die. What's the point? All for gods glory and his way, who cares about your life. You're so selfish! People will say, offering no true answers.
Didn't God make us to care, to love, to want fellowship? Is it wrong to want to love your spouse, and God? Or to do well and believe you'll be okay all the days of your life? The more I learn about God, I honestly don't like him but I'll love him cause I have to.
It is Not ' before ' the end times, but that we live in the ' end times of badness on earth ' - Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8
Jesus is a ' righteous warrior ' because he carries on ' war in righteousness ' - Revelation 19:11
The words from Jesus' mouth will only execute the wicked - Revelation 19:14-16; Isaiah 11:3-4
Only the wicked will be destroyed - Psalm 92:7
Then, Jesus, as Prince of Peace, will usher in global Peace on Earth among men of goodwill.

Isn't Matt. 19:29; Mark 10:29-30; Luke 18:29-30 where Jesus is talking about those who take up missionary service ? ___
Jesus was Not talking about leaving in the sense of forsaking one's family and friends, but using their circumstances to widen out in serving God as missionaries in foreign lands.
However, agree in extreme cases people might have to put distance from others so as to get out of harm's way.
P.S. JKV adds the word ' wife ' at Matthew 19:29; Mark 10:29; Luke 18:29 which is Not in the Greek Interlinear but added later in the KJV Bible translation.
Also, children is in reference to ' adult ' children and Not minors.
Dew drop, you can get rid of the symptoms but not the cause. The cause is of me feeling like God has rejected me and my prayers. His will is something I don't like or want
I had a friend who felt this...my suggestion is get over it and do so quickly...gittb does not reject prayer...
