The past two years I've battled with depression/anxiety, addiction of nicotine, the passing of my grandmother, a breakup that I felt was Godsend, the diagnosis of my mother's breast cancer (in remission) and my dad's diagnosis of cancer who past away May 23rd of this year. My anxiety has been through the roof and several times I've tried to come off of cigarettes, currently on the ZYN tobacco free pouches. For the past week I've been having a feeling of impending doom, no panic attacks just the feeling like something tragic is about to occur at any given moment. I'm at a all time low, just trying to survive and with the crisis we are all facing with the pandemic, it's only making me feel worse. My faith in the Lord is being tested, I know this because of all that has occurred in the past two years. I don't feel grounded anymore, I feel like a hack sack constantly being kicked and when I think things are finally coming together and I start to feel like myself, something else knocks me down. Please pray over my family and myself and that God restores our faith and gives us the strength to get through whatever obstacles may come our way, thank you all and may you all be granted the same in the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN

Along with prayer,, encourage you to find some Scriptures that are meaningful to you and think of them often. These are helping me.
-"The Lord appeared from of old to me [Israel], saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you." Jer 31:3
-"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." Psa 146
-"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14
- Psa 145

Hey... be blessed, never question in the dark what you knew in the light.

Heaven and earth will pass away but His loving words remain...

Jesus may your everlasting arms support this family in this time of trial.

Push back the darkness and release mercy, peace and healing.

May You be found as more than sufficient in this time of testing... in Jesus Name

Choosing thankfulness and praise in times testing is very powerful and will minister to your spirit.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear all that you have been going through. Firstly I am so sorry to hear about the passing your grandmother and your Dad. And also the loss of your relationship that you really felt was to be. I hope your Mum is doing ok now. Addiction to nicotine is so difficult too, and so tough to deal with.
I just want to pray that you will somehow through all of this hold onto Jesus. I can relate to those feelings of doom. It’s an added stress now with the pandemic too. My prayer for you is that you just keep your eyes on Jesus. That you may cry out to Him. Pour your heart out to Him. I pray that you may know the peace that surpasses all understanding.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7 ESV
Also:
Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28‭-‬30 ESV
That feeling of being knocked about is real though. But I just pray you can rest in Christ. I join with you in praying over your family and yourself and that God does restore your faith and gives you the strength to get through whatever obstacles may come your way. In Jesus Christ’s name. Amen. Take care.

(Condolences on losing your dad)

Lord only you truly understand what Gracefullybroken27 has and is going through. We ask that you'd meet her where she' at and help her to turn the page of her life. We ask for better days, and a new season of healing and peace that only you can give. We ask for full healing of her mom. That slowly but surely they can move forward in life. May our sister come to know and experience your love in a deeper way as she seeks strength from you. In Jesus name, Amen.

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplications with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God
And the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will keep your hearts and minds quiet and at rest through Jesus Christ." Philippians 4:6-7

Heavenly Father, take away the fear of the unknown and help this one through every attack that comes against them. Put a cover over Gracefullybroken and her family. Be their strength every day, watch over them and give them better days, help them to draw close to You and find comfort in Your Word and in knowing that You will never leave them and that You will hear them when they call to You, In Jesus Name, Amen

I pray over your family and you. I pray that God restores your faith and gives all of you the strength to get through whatever obstacles may come your way, thank you all and may you all be granted the same in the name of Jesus I pray, AMEN

I believe God is breaking the old mold and making a new one. He is the potter, we are the clay and He knows best. I believe that a new day is coming and we are going to be so glad we were able to see this through. I believe that He is preparing and equipping us for the blessing of testimony and strength to live each day in His will. I trust in the scripture that tells me “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of many kinds (James 1:2).” “In Romans 5:3-5, Paul reminds the Roman Church to rejoice in their sufferings! He exclaims that these sufferings aka trials/tribulations produce endurance which in turn shapes our character, ultimately giving us hope that does not put us to shame, but instead makes us more like Christ.” God is at work. He is shining Light into the dark places and He is bringing His children into the Light. I am so excited for you to hear your testimony and your thankfulness. God has a plan for you and I pray that He will give you the strength and wisdom that you need for “such a time as this. “ God bless you.
