Could I Please Ask For Prayer Request?

[LonesomeCry]

I was wondering if I could PLEASE get some prayers for myself...

I suffer with Panic Attacks. And lately it has been really, really bad due to the EXTREME amount of stress I have been under. Yesterday I had a MAJOR attack and still today I am feeling the effects of it.
My on and off b/f is giving me a really hard time...to the point of controlling and manupilating. I have had enough of it and feel like it's time to move on. My health has took a nose dive for the worst at the moment...Please pray that the Lord will help me to come out of this, gain my strength back and to help me to know which direction to take for my kids and I. I want to make the right choices this time and not the same mistakes I have made over and over again. It is about time I need and want to be happy.

I have no family or friends<(really) here since I moved here a little over a year ago. So I have no one to uplift me and help me through this.

Thanks in advance.
Depressed and Frustrated

EDIT
I failed to mention...I don't have any Transportation now either since he took his Van back away from me. So now here we sit like sitting ducks. It is so discouraging.

Years ago I had one panic attack--that was certainly enough! There are many others struggling through loneliness, depression and frustration, so you are not alone. Depression can be a cruel master. But Jesus Christ hears even the faintest cry for help.

If you are a Christian, you know that guidance and happiness for your life comes from knowing (reading) the Bible, God's Word to us, which is a guide for our daily living, and having a knowledge of God Himself through daily communication with Him. I hope you will begin to walk closer with God, share with Him and talk to Him daily. It would help to find a solid, Bible-Believing church also. I guarantee you will make wonderful, lasting friendships.

You have my prayers for you and your children.

Thank-you so much guys. I really appreciate your prayers.

You have no idea how lonely and empty I feel right now. I really don't know how to explain it. It is just a very scary feeling...is all I know.

 

[ShetlandRose]

Yes, Darlene, I do know, and so do many others who will be reading your post. Consider yourself HUGGED!

Hi Darlene:

I am new to this board .

I just wanted to let you know that God loves you very much. I believe in the power of prayer with all my heart.

God is our strength

2 Tim. 1:7

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Isaiah 54:10

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

***God has given to us His covenant of peace and He promised He would not remove it!

Philippians 4:4-9 ...“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! (5) Let your forbearing spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. (6) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (7) And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (8) Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely , whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things. (9) The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things; and the God of peace shall be with you.”

Biblical joy is a deep down confidence that all is well with our soul no matter what the circumstances might be.” When we are talking about biblical joy we are talking about something that is not related to circumstances or chance at all and that is why Paul can command us to rejoice “always.”

The cares and concerns that fill our lives will at times press down upon us. And when those cares and concerns begin to press down upon us we will become uncomfortable even to the point where we might begin to lose some sleep.

This is the command that we find in Philippians 4:6. What does it say, “Be anxious for nothing......”

When we are struggling and feeling anxiety we are to confess our sins. Do not let the enemy of anxiety rob you of your joy. Anytime that we find ourselves becoming worried, apprehensive or feeling a sense of dread about any matter of this life we have fallen into the sin of worry.

Trust in the Lord.

When our kids were little, I'm sure you can relate to this, we use to put them in the tub and wash their hair. And even though we would try to get them to look up, they just didn't do it at first. So they put their head down and you know what happens. The shampoo gets in the eyes, "Wahhhh!!!" And I would say, "honey, look up at me. If you would just keep looking up, I will put the water on your head and it will flow to the back. Okay? Okay," and it would happen. Before long, they would get afraid and they would try to do whatever they think they could do to make them feel more in control and they would put their head down. "Wahhhh!" Just look up! It is like us and God. The psalmist says unto the hills I lift my eyes from whence does my help come? My help comes from the Lord.

Living in fear of whatever, trying to control brings stress and trauma and worry. How do you get rid of it?

How do you live panic-free?

You commit yourself to one who is trustworthy and you stay in a chair and you say, "Lord, I trust you. I know you know what you are doing." That is why the Psalmist said in Psalm 56, "When I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee." God is totally trustworthy. Choose life in the Spirit, secure in the knowledge that you are God's child. Don't be afraid.

*****************************

Lord, I lift up Darlene in prayer. Lord we thank you that you are indeed God our Father. Forgive us for those times that we grab. Forgive us Lord for succumbing to fear that causes us to grab. Help us to know that you will never, ever leave us or forsake us. I pray especially for Darlene who at times feels a lot of anxiety. May your Spirit come upon her daily and give her a deep sense that she is your child. Surround her with Your angels of protection and cover her with Your armor daily. Fill her heart with Your spirit of love and gentleness and bind the enemy of panic. In the mighty name of Jesus "AMEN"

uggghh..
great big hugs & prayers, Darlene!! and I only suffered from those BRIEFLY during a v. stressful time in my life but I got advice from a pro athlete that helped me: when one hit I would take my own pulse, just hold a finger to my neck and watch the second hand for a minute. Apparently lots of athletes do it when they're really nervous since the action of doing that slows down your heart rate... For me, it helped make them slightly more bearable.

I hope your life lets up on you soon!!

 

[JC4uNme]

You're in my prayers!!

goodgirl: That advice is very interesting. I assume you are referring to placing a finger on the carotid artery in the neck. For tachycardia [sudden abnormally rapid heartbeat] that can be used also, although I have heard to use fingers on both arteries in the neck--for a brief period ONLY of course. I never thought of that method for a panic attack.

Once again...Thanks so much for your prayers...I am so tired of fighting these panic attacks and not only that...phobia too. I have no life. No Family or Friends here to help me through this. My so called b/f is abondoning me as well. My life is VERY depressing at the moment.
