btw . . . just in case it didn't come across, I liked that Imperials song, I've never heard it before.
I did see it...
My favorite verse...
We know Satan is a liar
And he wants to make us think
That we are paupers
When he knows himself
We're the children of the King!!!!!

My prayers are with you Marks, I know how it is, it drew me to this forum.

May the Grace of God be with you and guide you, as it has me.

My heart sometimes hurts, prayer heals it.
Thank you!

Thank you again for your prayers!

2 biggest issues going on, I haven't wanted to get into the list, but it makes me crazy . . . literally . . . clinical depression, which I can pretty well deal with, but now I've got boils on both arms, both legs, and I'm terrified of them spreading more! there. I'm going nuts.

I know. It's God's way of saying "death to the flesh"! So there.

Much love!

Oh, the clinical depression - I can so relate. The side effects on the physical side, recently with me it was my teeth ( abscess ) and it drove me nuts because it added to all the pressure and how I was feeling. So sorry that it's coming out in other ways with you. We are finite people aren't we, our bodies react in ways that are so unhelpful !
I never actually know how to pray about these things for myself, but can for others - just prayed for you xx

I think it can be personally most encouraging for the believer to know that the Lord Jesus 'ever liveth to make intercession' (Hebrews 7.25) for His people - including oneself...

I will stand in agreement with you and others for God to give you a breakthrough of what you are struggling with. In Jesus Name!

Amen.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?

12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Hi farouk,

That's the ultimate truth in my life, no matter what all this garbage is, He loves me, He never leaves me, and when I'm done with all this, I'll be with Him still!

One might say . . . When we all get to heaven . . . what a day of rejoicing that will be!

Just the same, joy is a choice to trust.

Yes, Jesus my intercessor!

Even when I'm screaming with frustration . . . yes, I can do that . . . Jesus will never stop caring for me.

Much love!

Had that go-round a few years ago.

Depression is insidious, because the mind can slip into it's modes so seamlessly. But yeah, there's what's happening in the body, and there is the hypervigilance of having had a number of other tricky health issues, and the depression to make it all worse. Poor poor pitiful me!

So good the spirit isn't actually part of the body!

And thank you!!!

Much love!

I will Pray for you to be whole, I am reminded of the ten Leper's, who cried out from afar to the Savior, and He said go you way and show yourselves to the Priest's, and offer up the required Sacrifice, according to Moses, and as the went they were cleansed, But one, A Gentile turned when he saw that he had been cleansed, returned and began to worship at our Saviors feet, and He said to the man, were there 10, and only one came to give thanks, and our Savior told him your faith has made you WHOLE. Whole completely restored, not just cleansed! If you understand Leprosy, it rots the flesh, 9 were cleansed, remission, one was restored!
We will all Pray! maybe worship, praise and just being thankful in this hour of suffering!

Rejoice in the Lord, no matter what we are going through - Blessing!
