Guys I thought I was healed of the benzo withdrawals. But only to have them come on full blast. My faith is being tested. I don’t know if I can keep on going like this.

I don’t know how to show God I’m suffering. I feel like I’m not doing my part and that He’s going to deny me.

I want God so much but I don’t know how to deal with my emotions and anxiety during benzo withdrawals.

Please pray that the Lord will sustain me and that once after all this is said and done God willing I will be able to pastor like someone who can sympathize with others because I’ve been through it.

I will pray that the Lord will heal you and that when it is over you will be able to pastor like someone who can sympathize with others because you've been through it. God bless you.

You don't need to show the Lord you're suffering. He's well aware of it. I didn't know you were planning to be a pastor. You need to forget the benzos.

Father, I pray for Dabro, that he will learn to use his spirit, and not his feelings and emotions, and physical senses only. I pray that he will learn to know and trust Your Written Word when it is in conflict to his feelings and senses, and how he views his circumstances. If he is not getting enough of Your Word, may You lead him to take in more. Amen.

Benzo withdraw is not an easy cross to carry. That is a hard withdrawal. Stay firm. Batten down the hatches. Its going to be rough seas! I have been there. You can do it.

I will be praying!
