I'm going through a massive crisis right now in my life. I lost a close friendship, and I'm experiencing terrible mental health issues. The only reason I'm alive and here right now, hanging on, is because of God and my family. He's my only lifeboat in this extremely stormy, chaotic ocean that I'm in. It feels like I'm lost at sea and He's gently guiding me to the shore, but it's a long way coming and I'm struggling really hard right now. Any prayers would be appreciated.

Please talk to your minister, to you doctor about your mental health.
You need help and support from your community and health professionals.
The medication prescribed will calm down the restless anxiety and feelings your are experiencing and will help your mind to heal.
Talk to counsellor's who can also help you come to terms with what is causing your mental health problems and yes prayers and support from Christians does help.


Praying that you will find peace of mind and healing through family, church and medical help.

Hi ~
Certainly prayers for you.

You have the “correct knowledge” and “correct concept”…

We who have surrendered our LIVES, unto the Lord God, YET still are LIVING…
Continually have OUR ACTIVE “MIND” warring AGAINST our New born “spirit”…

Information, (wanted or not), popping up into our MINDS, trolls us like an unwanted Stalker, causing us worry, stress, anxiousness, grief….

AND YET….”WE” who “ARE” born again….HAVE AN OPTION….

AND NOT….saying the OPTION … is EASY…because “IT IS HARD”…(Because we can not “CONTROL” the continuous thoughts that pop into our MINDS),,,,BUT the OPTION is readily Available.

THE OPTION….IS: Every time… a (stressing, worrying, agitating) thought pops into your MIND…. RIGHT THEN…
Give it to Gods Spirit that Dwells wIth-IN you..

Remembering….we who ARE born again, (just as those NOT born again)….CAN NOT CONTROL thoughts that are fed to us or pop into OUR MINDS….

Yet “we” who “are” born again…CAN “immediately” give those unwanted thoughts, TO GODS SPIRIT….EFFECTING…
* Praying without ceasing.
* Prayer is our means of communication with God.
* Greater is He that is IN US, than he (you, me, wicked men, evil spirits, thoughts we hate)…that are IN this world.

Yes, prayers and blessing FOR you, to overcome your MENTAL stress, anguish…..to GIVE IT TO GOD….every time it plagues you.

God bless you,

Glory to God,
Taken

Also meditating on some comforting Bible verses is helpful I find.

Have had a similar experience, we all have in the storms of life, but you are also right that God is our lifeboat. He really cares about you and will help you through this :hug:

Hey Mayflower, nice to see you after such a long time and to hear the lyrics and melody of the song you posted.
Yes, now that I'm old and grey I can unequivocally say that Jesus is my joy!

Hope all is well with you, hubby and the bubs.

Yes! It has been a long while. But Angelina contacted me and we have been talking, so I thought I would start popping in more now. It is nice to see everyone and some new users. Good to be back on here

I will pray for you as I know God loves us his children, and desires us to return to him and that is the hope of God's children thru Jesus the Christ our Lord and the Holy Ghost. :)

He breaks us, and waits for us to mend; He stretches us, and waits for us to reach the crying point.

That's God to a schizophrenic, anyway.

I'm praying that God gradually lift you out, of the circumstance you are in (in Jesus' Name Amen!)

well, it's definitely the description of a schizophrenic God!
Maybe we should take note and raise our children the same way...ie, stress them so we can get the glory of trying to fix them......or do we let them fix themselves?

In the end, the Devil has no power over us - I would say that is worth it!

If you can resist the Devil with your mind, schizophrenia is all its cracked up to be!
