• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

God, My Heart Is Broken

God, my heart is broken, as if I'm going to die.
Didn't you hear my pleas, or see my heartfelt cry?
I've prayed and prayed for years, bearing all my soul to share,
And now I sit in grievous pain, wondering if You really care.

I trusted in Your Word, if I asked something in Your name,
That you would hear my call, and not put my prayer to shame.
But where are You now, nothing's changed, in fact...it's worse.
Instead of seeing blessing, I feel my life is cursed.

Things just seem so dark, with no hope to move ahead,
My journey has just ended, do You hear what I have said???
I can't go on like this, it seems worthless anyhow,
God, are You listening? Have You given up on me now?

Oh My child, My precious child, I said I would not leave,
And no matter what you see, you must continue to believe.
For many years ago, the whole world gave up on Me...
Especially when My bloodied corpse, was carried from that tree.

A dead and lifeless form, with no hope that I would rise,
But my child, they only saw Me, through their earthly eyes.
Not fully comprehending, the power inside the tomb,
That worked a mighty miracle, like creation in the womb.

Hidden from the world, by a heavy weighted stone,
How could anyone have seen, or anyone have known,
The miracle that was happening in that dark and secret place,
From the touch of God's own hand, and the glory of His grace.

You may not see what's happening, behind your heavy weight,
And the burden of your problems, may seem to seal your fate.
But the resurrection power, raising Christ from the grave,
Is still touching hearts in secret, to deliver and to save.

So child, you must be patient, for the miracle's taking place,
Though it looks like it is hopeless, you must still walk by faith,
Knowing the mysteries in the tomb, were already done,
By the time My children saw Me, as the Resurrected Son!!

No matter how down you may feel, trust in God just as my signature verse says...Proverbs 3:5,6

Also, Psalm 30:5  For His anger endureth but a moment; in His favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Ephesians was particularly written for the discouraged. I know it's helped me get out of bed many a morning. One verse that's particularly comforting is Ephesians 1:19-21: ...That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him as his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every tital that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

God is higher than everything on earth and in Heaven. And he's your personal Protector!

Also, if you're motivated by what I call "warrior mode", try the famous "armor of God" verses, Ephesians 6:12-18.

Hope this is helpful.

teardrop,

psalm 22 (23) the Lord, Shepherd and Host

"the Lord is my shepherd; i shall not want. in verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for His name's sake. Even though I walk in the dark valley i fear no evil; for you are at my side with your rod and y our staff that give me courage. you spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overlows the days of my life; and i shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come".
