• 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.

Today I am feeling very low. It has been a long time since I felt this low. I ask for your prayers so that I may have the strength to cope.

Sorry to hear you must be in it this deep. i hope that you will soon feel a little better again. Is there any reason you are so low right now or is it cycling through your moods?

Praying you keep your eyes peeled on Jesus. He can get you through.

Thankyou for your kind words Jeshu, I am feeling much better today and I believe that is due to praying and the prayers of people on this forum. For me I made the mistake of having a lot of sugar the other day and it just totally messes with my brain chemistry that has become ever more evident.

Yes sugar can really mesh with our moods, but it shouldn't make you so badly depressed i would not think, just a downer after the initial spike. Do you struggle with depressive feelings at other times?

Great you notice that the prayers are working i have often experienced that as well. Jesus is faithful and true and can get us even through our greatest desolations.

i hope you have a blessed day.

I am depressed and abalienated,“suicide" is a sensitive word to me.

But greetings to everyone for Jesus' crucifixtion and resurrection days.

Sorry to hear you down that hole again brother. Wishing you God's nearness and love to comfort you down there. i have been very depressed as well and have been struggling down below. Maybe we should visit each other down there, shared suffering is half the suffering.

Keep your eyes peeled on Jesus brother, i'm trying to do the same.

:hug:

Compelling Darkness Ruling.

Struggling me;
Lord when the darkness calls!
Where are You then Lord?
Why are You then silent?
When i need You most?
How comes no one comes
and slays my enemies?

The Lord answers;
Enshrouded by darkness the wicked shot
at you with deadly accurate precision.
Silencing the upright of your heart
fuelling demanding desires instead.
Birthing wrongful acts in deeds
as the slain laid among your ruins.

Struggling me;
Who can rescue me from their power?
Who has the insight to overcome evil?
Who can bring my good life back to life?
Who can help me forgive me my wrongs?
Who can heal my wounds so painfully deep?
Who is like You Oh Lord in power to save?

The Lord answers;
If you will listened to My truth
Your peace will be like a river
gently streaming in the Summer sun.
Righteousness will bloom like a flower
My love will soon be overflowing
You will be called blessed of the Lord.

Struggling me;
i'm Hearing You now my Lord.
You are right i heeded lies galore.
Lies from this world and satan too.
Truth cannot lie but brings to light
those lies crucifying my life in You
slowly killing my life down here.

The Lord answers;
The truth of your darkness
was not that I did not care
in your hour of highest need,
but rather the wicked killed
My inner light right out of you
heeding satan's lies alluring.

Struggling me;
So glad to find You back again
My God and My redeemer.
All glory to You being steadfast
in Your love over fallen me.
Even though i so often fail You
You are a faithfully loving Being.

Haven't been on here for some time - but think of all of you often. I found a wonderful Resurrection prayer that I want to share with all, and especially Yusuphhai and others in need of a renewed hope:

"Our Lord, You are risen! Wash over every soul with fresh hope and overwhelming joy. Bring new life as only You can. In Jesus’ name, Amen."

Many blessings to all in this new and hopeful season.

Hello Jeshu - I hope this past year has been of benefit to you as well as, I'm sure, challenging. Actually, being in much solitude over the months has strengthened my walk with our Lord - I've had time to reflect upon everything that has transpired - both good and bad - and had the luxury of being still long enough to comprehend just how much He is there for us. I never fully understood, "Be still and know that I am God" until this past year. He is there for us to know Him - we just have to be quiet long enough to absorb what He is saying. So grateful ...

Yes times of reflection are most important. Luckily i have plenty of time to do that. The past year has been challenging. i had hoped for less depression but more came my way. It has been difficult at times.

To keep my eyes peeled on Jesus is what i have to learn to do 24/7 instead of 1-2/7. The enemy looks so strong at times that i cower away in my under ground bunkers so to speak.

Great to hear you found a lot of new purpose in your walk with the Lord. Such is always encouraging to learn.

i wrote a poem on reflection on God's good in my life i like to share with you.

Peace.


Pondering Sweetly.

i'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's graceful love,
Awakened by the voice of Father's loving grace,
Christ's caring truth seeking, deeper communion pleading,
Consoling love lifting my spirit before God's face.

i'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's loving truth,
Jesus' love redeems my spirit from earthbound plights.
Where upon the peaks of the highest mountain summit,
The finger of God, in my heart His commandment writes.

i'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's caring way,
Watching His holy seed of loving truth germinate.
Fields of Heavenly harvest ripening in the sun,
Cherubic thoughts, angels in the sky to celebrate.

i'm pondering sweetly, reflecting God's awesome might,
Seeing - I AM – our Father - in Heavenly Glory.
As i can not locate any place He does not rule.
Most astonishingly - i'm also written in His Story.

Feeling very peaceful and lucky God gave me everything he did, even though I allowed old habits of anxiety and negativity to override my blessings, daily Christian reading has stilled my mind thank God! It worked!

That is wonderful you have found that peace that God provides. I also feel blessed from reading my scripture daily and from prayer. God is good! May his spirit grow within you and may you always be blessed.


“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit” (Jeremiah 17:7-8).​

Feeling a little discouraged with life because I don't feel like I'm of this world, but I need to participate in it in order to survive in it. I quit my job 3 months ago in order to try and pursue my own business and during these few months, I've become closer to God and started reading the bible more and feel less and less encouraged to even pursue that dream anymore because I'm not even sure if it would be part of God's plan for me. It's so hard to tell what the future will hold since the state of the world at the moment just doesn't seem livable in and feels like it'll be getting worse. I say this because I believe we're living in the end times and I don't want to waste my time over useless things when I'll be needing to survive whatever may be coming. Learning that I'm not supposed to be doing what I want, but what God wants just has me confused. I usually pray that He will reveal his purpose for me and to only put on my path what He feels necessary.

I do have a job interview today, so I'm hoping that if the outcome is positive, maybe it'll help me get outside of my head and give me that perspective I need to maybe see where my life is taking me.
