can i make a prayer request?

[Ceccia]

I feel kind of bad for posting this, because other people are going through things that seem so much worse...

...but I have always struggled with constant worry, fear and depression that never goes away. I can mask the pain by doing other things and not thinking about certain things, but it is always there and it can never really be ignored or stuffed away for long before I break down.

It's been so long since I've prayed, partly because while logically I believe that God hears and will answer and provide...on the "gut level" I doubt that that is true...it's been so long since anything went right for me. It's to the point that I really can't imagine things ever working out or life ever amounting to anything.

And partly it's because I feel guilty and disjointed---afraid to approach God because I've been ignoring Him for so long, afraid to come to Him and ask for things, and generally feeling romoved from Him.

I desperately want God's help and I want to talk with Him again and have Him near me, but first I need faith. Not just a sense of "the Bible says that God is (fill in the blank) and so it's true"...but a real unshakable faith that wipes out the worry, fear and pain that I feel every moment of everyday.

Could you pray for me?

A lot of people struggle with fear and worry, including myself--especially when I'm not getting my way. I would like to suggest for you to order some tapes from John Hagee Ministries. The series is called "Ride the Wild Horses." The tapes are as follows:

1. The Power of Anger
2. The Wild Horse of Worry
3. The Wild Horse of Fear
4. The Wild Horse of Discipline

These tapes are very good, and he is a very interesting speaker! I think this series cost about $20 or so...very much worth the money!!

If you need someone to talk with feel free to PM me. I'm praying for you.

I'll pray for you, that you will once again feel that joy and peace, and that the Lord will bless you with that strong faith you seek.

 

[Ceccia]

thank you both so much

and about the tapes, i don't have money right now (one thing that is making me worried and frustrated--no job), but I will keep them in mind, or perhaps my former Bible teacher would have them; I've heard him mention John Hagee before...

again, thank you.

I'm glad you could share your heart here Ceccia. The Lord knows what is happening and what has happened.

He wants you to draw near to Him...too. I ask You Father, in Jesus' Name to bring a peace to this lamb...Lord I ask for a miracle to help her heart to begin to reach out to You...just to "be" with You and find Your comfort. I pray she will hear things that speak peace and forgiveness to her heart...I ask that she really receives the kind of faith she is longing for...I pray that Your love for her will flood her heart and mind giving her much needed stability in Your truth when she needs it. Thank You Lord.

Well, so it's been a long time since you have prayed. That is the past. Today you can start living again. With God all things are made new! That includes you!
I am sorry things have not gone right for you, but they will. With God in your life there is a solution to every situation. You have to believe and then you will receive. God is the Blessor. You receive the Blessings. Then you are Blessed. Then you become a blessing to others.
I pray to God that you are able to restore your full faith in the Lord. That you have no fear and that you feel connected with the Heavenly Father again. For God to remove your guilt and that you ask for forgiveness by repentance and that you truly feel His love and comfort after doing so.
God has never left you. I promise. He is aching for you now and so am I.
I pray that you will have restored faith and recieve the blessings from the Lord that are rightfully yours.
I pray that you have no more fear, anxiety or depression. With God there will be no lack in your life. Grace is his sufficiency!

Your sister in Christ,
Cynthia

That is a very good and worthy prayer request. At one point God delivered me from depression. Now I lean that way again. So I will pray for you that you may know deliverence from this harmful condition. I pray for your courage and your wisdom. I pray that God will give you strength to overcome these fears and sorrows.

Those sound like very good tapes.
