A real big part of it is that my brother was recently diagnosed with MS and I feel so helpless. He has gone on a medication for it but I worry about the long term of it, what will happen to him from the disease. I'm trying to take it One Day at a Time but I tend to worry. I have had an illness, too, and don't know if it's come out of remission. I'm going to see the doctor for another test. One test showed it might be back. I am also lonely.

I'm sorry about your brother and that your illness might be back. If you want to talk feel free to pm me. I'll be praying for you. I've struggled with feelings of depression on and off since I was 14 and am 47 now. At this time, I am actually doing pretty good

I saw my new psychiatrist and counselor early this week. I am now on Prozac and find it is helping when I try not to sleep too much. I have this problem with wanting to keep on sleeping and sleeping out of boredom I guess.

thats good to hear, try your hardest to at least walk around the block for about 30 min, 5 times a week. It should make a HUGE difference. It will actually help you weaken that feeling of sleeping all day. Thats what my last article/blog was about. Let me know how it works, we will keep you accountable...lol

And trust me, I know the feeling of not wanting to even open your eyes, I know what its like to just cry for no reason, simply because you feel so depressed. Cardio style exercise will help.

Confess a few of Gods promises daily that pertain to healing and joy.

"By His wounds I am healed, whole and well"
"I am FULL of peace & joy"
etc...

Thank you for your nice message. It is 1 degree outside and not walking weather. My dog is using pee pads inside to do her business. I plan to start taking walks with her as soon as the weather breaks. But right now we both would freeze to death. I also have problems with my knees and can only walk a short distance. I usually go straight down the street and back when I can. Suzy will love it when we can take walks again. I think about doing exercise but it seems like a huge chore I just can't get myself to do just yet. How can I confess something I don't feel. I don't feel I am healed whole and well. It is a goal to feel that way for me for sure. Take care my friend.

Ruth,

you need to move down to Miami... its a chilly 70 degrees outside and not a cloud in the sky. lol. I wouldn't take on a huge exercise regime if I were you, just little by little, maybe looking into buying a treadmill on craiglsist, which is easier on your knees that actual concrete.

There are many Bible verses that speak about the power of confessions. Its not about denying the facts that we might not feel good, its that we are deciding to state and believe the Truth of Gods word over the facts of our life. Truth circumvents facts. Truth doesn't change, but in the dictionary, facts are subject to change. Our symptoms are facts, His promises of healing over my life our truths! Great book to buy and read is "Gods Creative promises of healing" by Charles Capps.

with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
21The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.
