Father, I lift up Allye right now and pray that you will give her and her doctors wisdom as they deal with her bi polor condition. May you help them get her medication right so she will be able to function as normal as possible. Wrap your loving arms around her and encourage her during these...

Please don't use your personal experience to judge that of all others. Alas, I am once again reminded why I am so thankful that God made salvation a personal transaction between Himself and one of His fallen creatures rather than through the approval of man.

We love you servant4ever. Keep looking towards HIM. Kirk

Dear Debbi: I know God can heal depression because he did it in me; however, He didn't do it alone. Search for a church near you that has a recovery ministry and get into a support group that can help you deal with the issues you are facing. God does not expect us to walk through these...
