Re: Please Pray

Hi Laurie,

Nice to meet you. Of course I'll pray for you. I'll pray that everything works out good for you, and that you won't be overcome by a depressive episode.

I need to reciprocate and ask you to please pray for me too. My life's circumstances are not good, instead they are very conducive to bringing on depression in me. I feel like I'm in a black hole and can't escape. I would like God to perform a miracle for me and change my life completely by divine intervention; but I realize that God probably isn't going to do that. Please pray that God will give me strength to bear the pains and pressures that He allows in my life. Because I don't have any strength of my own to do it. The burdens are too heavy, and I'm not strong enough to bear them.

Thanks,

Tom

Re: Please Pray

Laurie.

It is a blessing to be able to pray for you. You certainly sound like one busy lady! I pray God gives you extra strength and peace to accomplish all you have to do. Remember how Special you are and how much He loves you. I always go back to Phillipians 1:6! He is faithful and will complete the good work He has begun in you!!

Re: Please Pray

I will be praying too.
I always hate that when I feel depression coming on. It's just so scary sometimes. I'm glad all of you can relate. It's nice that we can share our feelings with each other. I pray for all of you every day.

Re: Re: Please Pray

Thanks for your prayers, everyone.

I have been so busy and haven't been able to respond for a while...but I really appreciate your prayers...and even you taking the time to read what is so freeing to share.

Laura, I pray for God to be your strength, my strength, and the strength of us all as we depend on him to live with this condition.

I pray for God to be glorified through this,

Laurie

Update

I forgot to share the answers to your prayers!

God sustained me during my busy time; I rested in Him and depended on Him for my strength.

I did not experience a depressive episode. Praise God for his grace and mercy!

He also helped me to not do too much; I got done all that I needed to do, and eliminated some things I would have liked to have gotten done, but just didn't have the energy for. This was a good thing for me to do.

Hi Laurie,

I'm glad everything worked out for you. I hope it continues to go that way for you.

Re: Re: Update

Thanks so much for the affirmation.

Not everything worked out as I would like to have planned...but I am feeling healthy and human and I praise God for this.
