• 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.

You know friends what I notice? That praising God is not common practise - poor us - we don't know what we are missing! In Heaven they been going full board, praising God, already for ages, and what a fun they are having!

And us not praising hearts? Oh so much suffering!

Are you also hurting? Here have a taste of this! (please eat one bite at the time - happy eating!)

:wave:
Psalm 19

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.

3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.

4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,

5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.

7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.

8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.

9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the LORD are sure
and altogether righteous.

10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.

11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.

13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

What a wonderful thread!

I would like to add something that helps me. In the past I have been very fearful, even to the point of being paralyzed with fear. The Lord has been working on me! Something that helped tremendously is this verse:

2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind."

Whenever I start to get fearful I say this verse. Then I rebuke the fear in Jesus' name and tell it to go. Then I say, "I have love, power and a sound mind because God has given these to me!"

My brothers and sisters, God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind! :clap:

How true! Isn't incredible how Jesus saves us?

By us holding onto His truth - God loves us and is with us - even fear and madness have to sway and make place for a peaceful heart.

The thing I want to praise God for, is the fact that in Christ's truth we rule like kings with Christ - As He is King of kings and Lord of lords.


Please consider!

Are you stuck with inner lies and therefore torn cruelly by depression, please know in Christ' truth there is safety and incredible strength to fight such downs.


Say you feel unloved and unwanted - and these things rule your heart!

Try having faith in what Jesus says!

The moment you start to believe you shall begin to taste victory over such unwanted and horrible kings of inner being, such as are made up by lies and its unloving spirit/mood within

Unloving realities will die and be removed out of your heart - though your faith is trialled - the death of your enemies within is assured.

And so you will rule as king with Christ - safely blossoming in the TRUTH of His LOVE over you - ruling your own reality forevermore.



Psalm 21

1 O LORD, the king rejoices in your strength.
How great is his joy in the victories you give!
2 You have granted him the desire of his heart
and have not withheld the request of his lips.
Selah

3 You welcomed him with rich blessings
and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—
length of days, for ever and ever.

5 Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;
you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

6 Surely you have granted him eternal blessings
and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

7 For the king trusts in the LORD;
through the unfailing love of the Most High
he will not be shaken.

8 Your hand will lay hold on all your enemies;
your right hand will seize your foes.

9 At the time of your appearing
you will make them like a fiery furnace.
In his wrath the LORD will swallow them up,
and his fire will consume them.

10 You will destroy their descendants from the earth,
their posterity from mankind.

11 Though they plot evil against you
and devise wicked schemes, they cannot succeed;

12 for you will make them turn their backs
when you aim at them with drawn bow.

13 Be exalted, O LORD, in your strength;
we will sing and praise your might.

Today has been a long, hard day for me because it seems like everywhere I turn, I see your wonderful people suffering. God, I pray you give me the words to heal their broken hearts, or at least to lend a helping hand. I know you know their agony and it hurts you as well. I pray you use me to help them in some way, and if you do not, send someone greater than I in my stead. Amen.

Now for praise, mainly focused on hurting and healing for all who are suffering:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1](Psalms 30:2 NKJV) O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1](Psalms 103:1-4 NKJV) Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! {2} Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: {3} Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, {4} Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1](Psalms 147:3 NKJV) He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1](Isaiah 53:5 NKJV) But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1](Isaiah 58:8 NKJV) Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=-1](Jeremiah 17:14 NKJV) Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.

I praise You Jesus!

King of kings (evil hasn't got a hope!)

Lord of lords (Is there anyone who can stand up against You?)

Messiah (The Saviour of the WHOLE World.)

The Lamb of God (No one suffers as You do or can!)

I want to praise You from the depth of my heart - for guiding me in battle against the wicked.

Please give me Love, Faith and Hope in abundance so the wicked will sway and topple over in the Breeze of Your love for us down here!

Please let Your Word flow over inside our hearts Your Truth to see!

A New Creation to B(b)e!

Please come SOON for all to see You on the clouds of Heaven!

Your loving truth for us, dwelling with Your Father within us forever!

Forever with You and All who love our Heavenly Father.


Oh Abba?

What truth do you dine for me tonight?

What's for dinner tonight?

Roasted wild boar - Pork?

I love it!

Thank You Jesus

(I will forever love You for getting me out of Hell!)

Amen.




Isaiah 57

Comfort for the Contrite

14 And it will be said:
"Build up, build up, prepare the road!
Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people."

15 For this is what the high and lofty One says—
he who lives forever, whose name is holy:
"I live in a high and holy place,
but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit,
to revive the spirit of the lowly
and to revive the heart of the contrite.

16 I will not accuse forever,
nor will I always be angry,
for then the spirit of man would grow faint before me—
the breath of man that I have created.

17 I was enraged by his sinful greed;
I punished him, and hid my face in anger,
yet he kept on in his willful ways.

18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him;
I will guide him and restore comfort to him,

19 creating praise on the lips of the mourners in Israel.
Peace, peace, to those far and near,"
says the LORD. "And I will heal them."

20 But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
which cannot rest,
whose waves cast up mire and mud.

21 "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."

Rev 19:1-9 NIV
After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting:
"Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, 2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth by her adulteries. He has avenged on her the blood of his servants."
3 And again they shouted:
"Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever."
4 The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne. And they cried:
"Amen, Hallelujah!"
5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
"Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!"
6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:
"Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear."
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)
9 Then the angel said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!'" And he added, "These are the true words of God."

Dear Lord I have been very low today - yet I want to praise you.

It is wonderful that despite my completely unloving reality at the moment, I may still know you are full of love and that I may drink from you and that you will get me from here -teaching me as I go..

THANK YOU FOR LOVING - when I can hardly raise my head. All glory to You!

Oh Jesus my dear Brother and Saviour I'm high and my heart is full of your glory. How can I express Joy. You take me to such incredible places. Heaven for all those who love you, and I'm just one in a trillion billion who adore Your Name. Nothing and no one comes near You, who I adore You with praising Heart!

Please Dear Jesus may I come and be with You for awhile? Praising The Father with my all?

I know, I cannot express your Beauty, who is like You, who dares to scorn the Son of God, who dares to deny Him the right to love us? Who dares to hold me back from being with You?

Lord I confess! I fall, my thoughts and feelings so far removed from who and what life is really about! Dear Father I have been so depressed. I've hurt so much! and You, and You? Oh dear Father, You went along with me, right through it all, oh how hurt You must be, me feeling You didn't care, I knew it wasn't true but so it seems when I'm so low as You know only to well.

Why? Why do You dip me into that Lake of Fire time and again Lord? Why must You do that?

Oh I rent my heart in wailing, dragging You into there once more, my dear Father and Brother You still love me even when I'm like that?

What unworthy vessel am I?

(Jesus how I need You to be able to exist like this!)

Oh dear Brother, You are so confusing sometimes. I can see You your face, so beautiful, cursed are all those likenesses of You down here -You are unbelievable - Your eyes, oh Your eyes, how much I love Your eyes. You looking at me with so much love, I melt on my feet.

Oh Lord You set me on FIRE!!! Fire for Your love and truth to rule this planet. Oh how I hate Satan pulling me from behind. Slay that monster of the seas, Lord cast him dead where he stands. My heart rages in fury at the lying prince of darkness looking on.

How he hates You Lord! And WHY? all because You love us and Creation once even him as well! The Judas of Creation! Doomed to burn in Hell! Taking evil out of the Abyss while he knew this wasn't allowed! And look what he has not all done with his beloved evil - our daily hell - how few of Your glory do tell? Millions are dying in a world that is over grossly over fed elsewhere.

Yet how I love You for repaying him. How I adore Your Holy Name for sending the wicked to Hell. Those cruel mean ones wrecking our lives down here. They are right through us, Lord - everywhere - even now attacking me and trying to sever my contact with You. Accursed brood will burn, burn ,burn.

When will humanity see the folly of lying unlovingness and repent of having life in all that?

Oh the fury, my Lord, my dear Father, I love Your fury, please shape mine - so I never have to rage like that devil there. Oh I confess I once loved him and hated You, or so I thought! What Hell has been my reward for loving that wicked prostitute riding that horrific Dragon of a Beast? Thank You for burning me clean, form my unlovingness Father, for look what did I create in me but a sin stained heart?

Hating You!

Oh dear Father, I can never tell how much I love You for sending Jesus after me. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER shall I stop praising YOU!!!! NEVER, so PLEASE make You Yourself sure of that, for I will always know I can't trust me without You to be with me - loving truth ruling my ever choice and decision!!!

Such delight to be with You and I'm aloud to be with You forever more, oh how great You are, once I was not, but now I'm also in Life everlasting praising You!

and DO You deserve!!!

Cursed are those liars telling us You are NOT as You ARE!

PERFECT LOVING TRUTH your I AM!

My Heart cannot contain Your goodness Lord. I'm bursting, blowing Up, my voice a song, I'm seeing....

I'm with unapproachable Light! (How I burn!)

My Father, my Father, Jesus has really made me pure in my love for You. I thank You, even in my deepest Hell, I thank You for getting me out of that bottomless pit right there below us the place You have taken me from.

Great to know Satan fears! Hear him roar his hate! Oh Lord, I'm crying those beloved down there, he wont relent, he still thinks he can thwart You, I have warned him and told him to leave God's own alone.

Please Lord hear me snorting now, I don't know why I'm doing that. My feet go like hooves on the ground as I lower my head at my adversary. How I hate him for taking God's own for a ride and hurting also them as he has me so often and worse!

Please Lord it scares me when I'm off like this, the fury I can hardly contain it. Lord He has so much evil awaiting us. He wants to destroy Your Kingdom from coming about on this planet.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE HIM FOR BEING SO WICKED!

SATAN HOPES DARKNESS MAY STILL CONQUER THE LIGHT!

The very agreement that You have with us, that You will rule with us and that the WHOLE world will bow down at Your feet, he plans to blow up - he is bombarding particles at near light-speed against on another, he has nuclear arms everywhere, he is melting the poles to put us all under, he has polluted the very air and is squandering Your Creation at a speed that I cannot keep up with - though I know you can.

The very social order is a Beast that serves numbers and has us all numbered. Oh please Lord are we all going to remain in this Hell? What a crap Lord, this world order Satan has devised to control, exploit and destroy us all.

I hate him Lord. I hate him for putting us in classrooms and tie us to meaningless jobs. I hate him for conquering all nations in his grasp, I hate him for squashing people like sardines on top of each other, so wickedness can spread even quicker. I hate him for institutionalising wicked control, I hate him for making us work (for crap) most of our lives. I hate him for enriching his mates. I hate him for blinding otherwise brilliant minds to what is going on - the folly of the intellectual? - arrogance and unbelief!

I hate him most of all for making so many Christians Churches, especially Bible believing ones, into legalistic minded judgementalness, where Your beloved struggle to survive and have often little time left growing loving truth with You.

Please Lord forgive us all for heeding wrong.

Please send Your Loving Truth Down. Jesus Christ to rule our hearts and minds, wonderful FREEDOM, for You are the Hero of Creation! Please let me repeat this

You are The Lamb of God.

Despised and rejected even now in the hearts of even all those who seek to find life - yet the very essence of Your Holy Being, Thou art!

Lord I want to finish my communion with you as other things are awaiting me to do. Yet Lord I know in my heart You will stay. (Oh I love the book of Ezekiel, especially the latter parts! Please teach me to worship nothing and no one but You.)

Thank You Heavenly Father, with loving gratitude!

I praise Him for answered prayer. I especially praise Him for prayer that seems unanswered, which has yet to be answered in the realm in which I can see it. For your answers are coming, like a slow train in the night; yes, I hear the whistle blowing. I believe in you, Lord, and I trust in Your name. Holy and Righteous is the Lord. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.

We love You and praise You. I want to serve You with all of my heart. Thank You, Jesus.

I praise You, Lord, for both the good days, and the bad, and oh yeah, those in-between days too. You made me this way. I can't quite understand it, but I accept it.

I praise You that you don't usually answer prayers right away. Otherwise, I wouldn't develop any patience. I praise You and thank You that I will RISE UP LIKE AN EAGLE ON THE WIND as I wait upon you for strength, solace, and the answers that this family needs.

I love You, Lord. Amen.
