We are not alone.

Everything i been through. The Lord never abandoned me. Hope is real and its free. Its not just a word either, no sir, it is the big bang which gives birth to my soul. Its the singularity which no man can see with natural eyes, yet it is proven in the science of my spirit. The universe is not the final frontier, my soul is the greatest frontier of all.

Jeshu said:

Amen, amen. Indeed brother spiritually our soul is as vast as the universe and there is a lot more life in Christ than our humble humanity has endowed us with. Our whole inheritance is awaiting us - try to imagine all of us making up an new Creation? This universe will appear but an aborted baby compared to what is to Come!

Amen. It is surely knowledge that we should grow in.

I have many things which would try drag me down into a pit of depression. Things like my past, the actions of people around me, hardships that i bear, battles of the mind...all these things try to destroy me. I have experienced very dark battles of the mind as well, and it is the loneliest, coldest, darkest, most confusing and fearful place to be. Its full of fear and darkness. I think i have experienced so much depression, anxiety and fear that it actually killed me inside. I no longer cared anymore about the things that made me depressed, fearful or worried. I decided to give everything to God and put myself in the arms of fate, whatever will be will be. If i live then i live but if i die then i die, i just didn't care anymore, and i was tired and numb, i was very much dead. Now i live new, i live by hope and nothing else. To the very end i will hope in Christ. I do still have times that those things come against me but they don't seem to have any real power any more.

Whenever i feel anything that causes me suffering, i give it to the Lord and i wait on him.

Psalm 130:1 Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive
to my cry for mercy.
3 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
so that we can, with reverence, serve you.
5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.
6 I wait for the Lord
more than watchmen wait for the morning,
more than watchmen wait for the morning.
7 Israel, put your hope in the Lord,
for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.
8 He himself will redeem Israel
from all their sins.

Psalm 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope.

The Lord gives me reason to live each day. He gives me purpose and meaning. Without Him i have nothing and am nothing. I suffer many things, but in the Lord everything can work for my good.


What would joy be without sorrow?
WE will reap joy by the tears we sow

What would Gods strength be without our weakness?
When we are weak, we are at our strongest

Blessed are those who wait on the Lord
His strength will be their reward

What is a soldier without a battle?
What is warfare without a struggle?

Wait on Lord and be strong in His might
Wait on the Lord in the day and the night

The Lord is our shepherd, our strength and shield
HE is our strong tower, our victory on the battlefield.

I said to the Lord, give me a sign
He said open your eyes, you're not blind

I said Lord, show me the way
HE said to me, the night is the day

I said Lord make me strong and new
He said my grace is sufficient for you

I said set me free from this place
He said be strong son, in my grace

I asked, Lord do you see the tears in my eyes?
He said, yes, i share in all your cries

I said, thank you Lord, for being my friend
He said, i will be with always, until the end.

Thanks. Knowing that you are encouraged actually encourages me as well. WE encourage each other i guess.

I second Army Wife, this thread always fills me with a lot of hope and encouragement. I wish I was articulate about my faith as Poster0 is.

Thanks for your encouragement. However, im not articulate, but im just pressing into the kingdom best i can. I'm really quite weak and needy. I'm a total wreck at times.

One peice of advice that i keep giving myself, and would give to others, is to take life and our problems one day at time. Worrying about tomorrow can be overwhelming and can cripple our ability to do anything, and to finish anything. We must take it one day at a time.
