• 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.

I found this on the net anjelica:
Have the cares and problems of life burdened you with stress and anxiety, robbing you of peace? Take comfort from these verses and pray the prayer below asking the Lord to lift your burdens.

  • "Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light."
    Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT)
    "I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give isn't like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid."
    John 14:27 (NLT)
    "I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe."
    Psalm 4:8 (NLT)
Dear Lord,
I need you now because I am full of stress and anxiety. Reading your Word brings comfort, as I ask you to come and take my heavy burdens. I take each burden, one by one, and lay them at your feet. Please carry them for me so that I don't have to. Replace them with your humble and gentle yoke so that I will find rest for my soul today. I receive your gift of peace of mind and heart. Thank you that I can lie down tonight in peace and sleep. I know that you, Lord, will keep me safe. I am not afraid because you are always with me. Please keep me daily, Lord, in your perfect peace.
Amen

Aww, it's ok Anjelica...just take a slow, deep breath Sister...think Calm...let it out slowly...

Remember, when you go there Wednesday, Jesus WILL be there...remember to lean on Him...cast your care on Him, for HE cares for YOU...you will not be alone...He will be right by your side as He is NOW...
HE knows your fears...and He loves you SO very much...think on HIM...just HIM...

And this too, shall pass...

One step at a time Anjelica...if we could but steal a glimpse of the spiritual world, I am sure we would see Angels abound in the hospital and Christ Himself...what a comfort to know they are there...and He will be there for you and IS...*hugs*...breathe in...hold it...breathe out...let Christ's calming come over you...feel the Holy Spirit's calming presence soothe you...

Anjelica, We are all here for you praying that God will calm your fears and surround you with His healing presence.
Lord you know the tremendous problems the medical staff has while trying to insert the needles into Anjelica's veins for chemotherapy. Please gently guide the needle into her vein to keep her from having to have numerous painful attempts to start the chemo. Let your healing power flow through her veins to prevent them from becoming so inflammed and painful after the treatment.
Please continue to give her the strength and courage to trust and believe that she will win this battle against cancer. Lord nothing is impossible with You and I am trusting that you will restore her health.
Thank you Lord for all you have done for her and the great things that you are about to do! In Jesus' mighty name I pray. Amen

Bloods done!!!! Praise God. The veinj rolled away but the nurse found it again. Chemo tomorrow thank you so much to all of you. I could not have done this without your support. It seems to get worse the nearer to the end of chemo I get. It feels like I have been climbing Everest without oxygen for the last6 months. I know in my heart of hearts that it is only God that enabled me to keep going and the wonderful thing is that I have been able to witness to 2 of the nurses about God during my chemo sessions. One said she did not mind if I prayed for her. Her name is Karen and she is the ward sister. Hopefully she will be doing my chemo tomorrow. The other nurse is called Julie and she is Karen's deputy please pray for both of them.

Hugs

Hi anjelica, I'm so happy to hear this good news!! Jesus answered the prayers and he will guide them again tomorrow to have good results, too. You are so brave to go through this as you have for 7 mos. You are a strong woman and you don't even know it. But you are and with Jesus making you that strong woman. God bless you. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Anjelica, I was listening to this song a few minutes ago and made me think of you...I found it to be uplifting and hope you do too...

Just Be Held

Artist: Casting Crowns
Album: Thrive

Hold it all together
Everybody needs you strong
But life hits you out of nowhere
And barely leaves you holding on

And when youre tired of fighting
Chained by your control
Theres freedom in surrender
Lay it down and let it go

So when youre on your knees and answers seem so far away
Youre not alone, stop holding on and just be held
Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place
Im on the throne, stop holding on and just be held
Just be held, just be held

If your eyes are on the storm
Youll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
Youll know I always have and I always will

And not a tear is wasted
In time, youll understand
Im painting beauty with the ashes
Your life is in My hands

Lift your hands, lift your eyes
In the storm is where youll find Me
And where you are, Ill hold your heart
Ill hold your heart
Come to Me, find your rest
In the arms of the God who wont let go

Lord please bless Anjelica in amazing ways today during her chemotherapy treatment. Let your healing power flow through her veins and make it possible for the medical staff to gently find a vein to use for chemo.
Calm her fears and surround her with complete peace.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Thank you once again to everybody you are all so very kind. Chemo is done and I am now back home in my bed. Feeling very tired - I had to wait in the reception area for 3/4 hour before they took me in which is difficult as I am so phobic about hospitals. When they took me in it took 6 attempts to get the cannula in as my veins kept rolling away. It took almost an hour to do the job finally and it was painful but the nurses helped a lot by telling me how brave I was being - they were very patient. Everything else went OK after that and Julie shared with me that she does go to church but I could not work out whether she has had a living encounter with Jesus or not. She goes mainly because she does Brownies. She has been going there for 17 years and I know it was a church hit very strongly by the charismatic movement - So who knows about Julie?? Karen was not there today. I would love to say something to each of you individually - you are all so precious.

God bless you and I will keep popping in, at least hubby will on my behalf

Lots of love
Anjelica
