Hello, fellow forum members. I have something to ask of you, since I am going through a tough time in my life I would like for you to pray for me.
You see, I have paranoid schizophrenia and I just came back from a week visit to the local mental hospital. I was bothered so much by my past (failing college, big debt FROM college) and my illness (quite evil voices in my head) that I could not take the emotional turmoil any longer. I became.... suicidal.
I am quite a bit better now; they (psychiatrist) have upped my meds a bit and that seems to be working great. So, I am doing a bit better. I read my bible every day when I was in there and had a bit of a spiritual awakening. My welfare check came and I spent it on a new study bible (The Open King James Study Bible in Large Print - it's great). I love it and have read a bit out of it already and I'm quite pleased.
So, pray for me with my struggle with depression and schizophrenia.
Also, some inspiring quotes would be nice (from the bible, that is).
Thanks to you, friends, of those that contribute.
You're in my prayers Brenlae. You know that the grip of the enemy can be strong. But there's one flaw with the evil one, he holds no strength against Jesus All Mighty. The words of the world will diagnose you with complications and diseases, but honestly it's actually much more deeper than that of the flesh.
The truth of the matter is that the only words that count is the
WORD OF GOD. Your battles here on earth are actually not your own, but between God and all the works of the evil one.
Your spirit in which your true heart resides is in danger and in pain. There is only
ONE man that has ever lived that is able to free you of such torment and sleeplessness. Only
ONE TRUTH, ONE WAY, and
ONE LIFE, his name is
JESUS CHRIST.
The only way to live life and overcome the challenges that come against you is through Christ Jesus. Jesus as
YOUR FOUNDATION, no matter what the world throws at you and no matter how the world attempts to burn you down, you will still rise and be saved.
When you
PROCLAIM JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR, your given a
NEW FUTURE and you are made a
NEW CREATION both inside and out. Jesus will forever be a part of your life and dwell within you. He will guide you and shelter you from
ALL evil. There cannot be anything greater than having a personal relationship with the creator of the heavens and the earth available 24/7 lol.
The first step through faith is to put all your personal understanding behind you and trust that
WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE MADE POSSIBLE. The Lord Jesus wants to lead you in ways you cannot even begin to imagine because you were created to be his child and bring glory to his will.
There is nothing greater in life than to be a part of the Family and Blood of Christ. For when you're a
CHILD OF JESUS, you are a
PART OF LOVE. For
GOD IS LOVE.
No matter what you have done in the past,
ALL OF YOUR SINS will be covered and you will be
FORGIVEN COMPLETELY through the
BLOOD OF CHRIST JESUS which was accomplished on the
CROSS. Christ died for ALL your sins so that you may
LIVE FOREVER in the very presence of the mastermind of the entire universe, creator of all life, the beginning and the end of all that is in the world, Jesus Christ
It is
YOUR DESTINY and your
VERY PURPOSE of existence through the
WILL OF JESUS for you to
FOREVER BE WITH HIM. And all it takes is a small act of faith through a
SIMPLE PRAYER FROM YOUR HEART asking Jesus to forgive your sins, come into your life and show you his will.
When you are
FACED WITH PROBLEMS, whether it be from the world or the wickedness of evil,
PRAY about it
IN THE NAME OF JESUS. Jesus will be your shield, your fortress, and your provider.
JESUS HEARS ALL YOUR PRAYERS.

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
