Just Need A Hug

[reverie_maiden]

I screwed my life up completely. I always had wanted to be in the military since I was a kid. After I got out of high school, I was forced into college, and hated it. I couldn't hold a job, and was really depressed. I signed up for the Navy in December of 2004 and asked them for the quickest ship date out of my town, because I was so frustrated. I received a ship date of january 18th, 2005. I was no prepared at all. Not prepared mentally or physically. 2 weeks into training I broke down and had to be put into seperations with the rest of the suicidal crazies. I was discharged with an RE-4, which means I can newver get in again. Since I've been out, I have been constantly thinking back on what I could have done had I wated 6 months for my ship date. The Navy is what I wanted to do with my life, and now I can never do that. I can't do anything right these days, I have really no friends, and screw it up with everyone new I meet. Life really sucks, I try so hard to make it better, but it doesn't get better. gaaaah!

*hugs*Lord, show theartist87 that God has other plans for his life. Even if he does not realize them now You have a greater purpose for his life. Let him strive to reach high goals and don't let him give up. He can do anything through You and if He has faith he can climb the highest mountains. Lord, be a guiding light for theartist87. He needs You now more than ever just to reassure him that things do happen for a reason and that all will turn out for the best. Be his friend right now and just be there for him to lean on. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Nicole. I'm sorry, I never knew the whole story. Is there any way that you can get involved with something like a church in your area? There would be people there who would be willing to become friends with you, mentors, whatever. I think it would be a good idea.

/me sends Nicole a ton of hugs.

And theartist I've had my share of disappointments too, and dreams that I've had to abandon. Is it possible that there is something else, perhaps something you love that you are overlooking, that you could catch on to as a career? And as for the depression ... have you tried any medications for that? Because they can help significantly in improving mood, concentration, all that, so you would be able to either go to college or hold a job or do whatever you wanted.

/me gives theartist another ton of hugs.

Abba, I lift these people up to You today. Give them Your peace, Your comfort, and Your wisdom to know what direction to take their lives. Wrap Your arms around them, Daddy, and heal their hurts. In Your Name, amen.

/me hugs Reverie_maiden for creating such a thread, and pops out.

*hugs Soulwings* Thank you for adding in your prayers and encouragement to others. God truly works in mysterious ways, and maybe sometimes all people need is to get things off their chest and know that people care, and at the same time get some prayers for support. That is why I created this thread. I am overjoyed it has helped so many. I couldn't have done it without help from God. God is great! God Bless!

/me peeks in and spreads hugs around.

I've made a promise to my boyfriend, family, and God, and I'm a little worried that I won't be able to keep it. I know that with my Daddy's strength, I can do anything ... doesn't mean it will be easy, but it means that it's not impossible ... but I'm still so scared that I'm going to fall and fail and hurt everyone as deeply as I've hurt them in the past.

*hugs you tight* Lord, help Quiddler to keep this promise she has made. Through You all things are possible and everything will turn out just as it should. Don't let her fall. Pick her up and carry her. Let her achieve all she wishes to and succeed in the will You have for her. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Depression took over my life. It changed who I was, it caused me to loose the love of my life. I attempted suicide one month and 2 days ago. Ann (my ex) saved me with GOD's help. Now she won't talk to me she's very angry and I pray the LORD will break down this wall of anger so she can forgive me....The hardest part is we were more than lovers we were best friends...She wouldn't marry me because of my depression I wasn't reliable or dependable...Now I'm walking with the LORD and breaking these chains of depression. He has filled me with the HOLY SPIRIT and HOPE. I HOPE that Ann will find forgiveness in her heart so one day we may reconcile our love and friendship we once shared. I have faith The LORD will hear my cries and answer my prayers.

*hugs ya* Dear Lord right now I pray for this dear brother. I know what its like to have suicidal thoughts ravage your mind. Right now Sweet Jesus just wrap your arms around my brother and help him to become the man that You desire him to be. Spirit of suicide I rebuke you right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You no longer have control over my brother. I join with him and we command you to go back to the pit of hell that you came from. Spirit of depression I bind you throught he power of Jesus Christ. You also have no more right to ravage my brother's mind and heart. Dear Jesus you told us that whatever we bind on earth will be bound in Heaven and standing on that promise we bind the spirits of depression and suicide and we Loose your blessings. Dear God let your restoring hand come in and restore the relationship with the one that he loves. Let Your love fill and pour out of his heart. Lord you restored Job and I am asking for the same with my brother. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Now brother through the power of God you do have a new begining. Its hard to realize I know but you do have one. Each morning when you get up look at the blessings that the Lord has given you and stand on his promises that He will not forsake those whom He loves. Brother the Lord's hand is upon you and He will restore you. Stand fast brother. Remember those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength they will mount up on as wings of eagles. Brother we are eagles we can fligh higher than any other animal and we have dominon over things that come against us. When you feel depression begining to retrun just lift your hands up to God and praise Him for what He has done and what He is going to do in your life. I am with you brother. You can make it. Just have faith.

I need a hug.

I'm tired of fighting a war that there is nothing to gain by winning. I'm tired of being the one who's wrong either way I choose. I'm tired of praying to a God who turns a blind eye to the sadness in my life.

The world hates me and wishes that I didn't exist, and I can't beat the world. So the only way to get relief is to agree with them.

I've tried to look for painless ways to die. but they seem to be unreliable. So I drew up a plan that may involve a bit of pain, but at least it's foolproof.

I just wish I had someone who loved me and wasn't afraid to say that they did.

I need a hug.

I think an important question is 'what is beautifull about life, and the people in the world?' Once you have an answer that you agree with try to find that beauty. You do not need anyone to find something, if you have not got a physical disability you can do it on your own. The fact I am typing that you do not need anyone to do things will hopefully help you in the way that once you have reached that beauty, anyone else helping is a bonus. Try to find the happiness and beauty of being on your own, the bonuses can be found later, I am an example of one so I am sure that there are plenty out there. Suicide goes against the wish of the Christian God. I nearly cut my wrists once and I am glad that I came up with the reasoning that once you die you might experience nothing, living at least lets you use thought which I find beautifull now. I suggest you try putting yourself in the frame of mind, that you can achieve most things on your own. I try to be a creature who needs nobody and nothing except thought. Through thought I find happiness because I know what it means to me and I let it effect me. I am still open to the bonuses of life, for example love from others, but they are not essential to live, I find happiness in that alone. Let God Bless you. And I will be happy if you see what I have wrote as advice.

I too have been where you stand. I thank the LORD everyday that I'm still here. I found new love with my family, old friends, and myself. I know it seems hard to think there's love for you but I'm a complete stranger talking to you now as a friend that has love for you. Now think about that....we've never met but here I am telling you a dark secret about my life that I've stood in your shoes and The LORD let me prevail. Turn your life over to the LORD right now and find comfort in his word, have faith because GOD LOVES YOU. Set goals for yourself to achieve and just know I'm here for you anytime.

I've have been riding the roller coaster my whole life but God is good, and has it under control more than not.
So I came in to give hugs and spread them around to anyone that needs one.
I am here if anyone ever needs a friend to pray with.
Be blessed all of you, may God ease your pain and heal you all with His precious healing touch.
Blessings in Christ.

I need a hug! Life is tough and my family is so many miles away. I haven't had a hug since this time last year when I visited my family and friends. I'd give anything for a hug from my Gramma. I'll take a cyber-hug though!

I've read the prayers on this thread. Some of you have a real gift. You are like David who played the harp for Saul and soothed his troubled soul. Bless you.

"The lips of the righteous know what is fitting..."

"...the tongue of the wise brings healing."

Proverbs

p.s. When the sun shines on me on these mild, fall days then I feel hugged. In the summer here in Houston though it is a BIG bear hug that about suffocates you!

 

[Lotuspetal_uk]

I need a hug.

I'm trying to be strong for my little girl but today especially feel so broken inside.

I've allowed my job to drag me to a point where I'm so low. When I don't dwell on what I do next, I'm fine. When like today, I realise that I must return to my doctor and someday face work again, I go to pieces. In 10 minutes, I have to put on the "happy mommy" face so that my little princess can dance and skip home, totally overjoyed that she has her mommy home with her who makes her laugh and tickles her.

Maybe some fresh air and feeling her gloved hand in mine may finally snap this feeling and gee me up again.

I don't deserve a hug because I was not a very nice person today but I still need a hug.

All you dear ones needing a hug c'mere... Gabby opens her arms real wide here's one for MadefromScratch, one for
Lotuspetal_uk, and one for TLB. Gabby goes to each one and give a warm gentle hug.
You are all deserving of love and tenderness.
For all of you.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I ask that this day you show my three friends here the love and tenederness you have for them.
As they close their eyes fill them with the Holy Spirit and let the healing waters flow throw them and fill them up so they feel the loving touch of Yours as if You were there holding them...because I know dear Father You are holding them and are with them now right by their sides.
I ask this in the precious name of Jesus.
Amen

Be blessed my friends..I am available by pm if you need to talk.

*hugs* I know what you mean. I am not away from family, but my family doesn't hug me. So, I can understand how you would miss that. You are not alone. If you come here there are always hugs to go around!

*hugs tight* Lord, let Lotuspetal_uk's spirit soar. Lift her up from what is holding her down. Lord, You alone know her needs. So, help her this day to be renewed in spirit and soul. Let Your strength bring her to her feet and back on Your path to do Your will. Help her to carry on and give her courage to strive to get things done. Let Your light shine once more in her heart and let her smile return. Let her know You are there and will always help her when she has fallen. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

*hugs* We are all sinners and some days don't do such nice things. But, that doesn't mean that God doesn't love us. He died on the cross to forgive and forget what we have done. He just wants us to do what is right and to draw close to Him. God Bless!
