• 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.

*hugs for everyone*

Lord, guide us all this day in Your ways oh Lord. Let us not sway from the path You have chosen for us. If we stumble oh Lord, be our rock and steady us. If the darkness is shadowing us oh Lord bring a ray of hope as a beacon to bring us back to You. Lord, wrap Your arms around those who are struggling and those who are too scared to ask for help. Let them know Lord that You will always listen and here in the just need a hug thread they will find more listening ears and support when all around them seems to be tumbling down. Wipe away the tears of those that grieve. Remove the fears that hold so many back from being Your servant Lord and doing great things. Lord at times we forget You are there for us in times of need, but let us remember it is You who come running first to lend a hand. Warm our hearts and bring peace into our lives oh Lord. Let us not take for granted each day that you give us. Let us not forget You have put us all on this earth to serve out Your purpose oh Lord, so lift us up oh Lord and open our eyes to what You have in store for us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Hi everyone i could really do with a hug:cry: ive been told i cant go to my 12 church group anymore. until im stable and not so up and down. :cry: :cry:

:hug:

My best friends know that I had my ups and downs as well. One minute I will be confident and calm, next I become all emotional and burn out. lol When I really came to grips with this whole ADD crap, I understood that I am human and flawed. I know I have to avoid certain subjects because I will peak my emotions. When my emotions do peak, instead of dwelling in the bombardment of thoughts. I know my mind is malfunctioning so I stay focus on important task at hand and wait out my emotional thoughts. Oddly enough it goes away much faster now, because I know these emotions are not the real me thinking.

Keep seeking answers and understanding about yourself, keep seeking help from your REAL church family and professional help. Keep praying and be patient with yourself.

God bless you sister! :wave:

*hugs* Lord only You know how much of a loss xXxunderOATHxXx is feeling now. Be close to her Lord as she grieves the loss of a dear friend. Ease her in this time of shock and confusion. She is lost dear Lord. Take her into Your arms and soothe her with Your calming presence. Help her through this time of trial and pain. Be near her Lord and wipe each and every tear away. Listen to her troubles and be there to lean on when all else fails. Let her know You will never leave her or forsake her. You will always be there Lord to provide for our every need. Help her to deal with this traumatic experience emotionally and mentally as each hour and each day go by. Slowly heal the deep gash her heart and soul are now suffering from. Remove the guilt consuming her body and bring peace, comfort, and Your soothing words to her through the Holy Spirit and give her faith and hope to lean on when all else doesn't make sense. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I'm so sorry to hear of the death of your friend! What a sad loss! I pray for something good to come out of something so bad! That his life and death was not in vain!

I just want to take a moment to praise the Lord our God! I know that this day above all there is suffering in all our hearts. This is the day the Lord laid His life down so that we may live and one day be free of pain, sadness, and grief.

*hugs without ceasing to everyone*

Lord God, you above all have given the greatest sacrifice. You endured pain so that one day we would not. You died upon the cross to remove us of the sins that so heavily weigh us down. Lord, just as You have said, we know not what we do. Lord forgive us for not running to You when all has come undone. Lord, it is You who bind us together as one in You oh Lord. You have removed the chains that sin has so heavily burdened us with. Do not let depression over take any of us this day Lord. Let us remember it is You Lord that give us new life. You lift up the broken hearts and the ones wavering in their faith. Let us turn back to You oh Lord and trust only in You. Let the wicked have no power over us Lord. Let Your love be a shield to the sin this chaotic world has bestowed upon our lives. Let us find peace and contentment in Your embrace oh Lord. Let us be found in You oh Lord when nothing else seems to make sense. Help us oh Lord and be our rock when all beneath us falls away. Thank you oh Lord! Your mercy is great! Blessed be Your name! In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I hope you all take this Easter Sunday to reflect on the sin that clouds your lives and repent to the Lord our God and you will once again be whole. Find peace in Him and He will raise you up, you will never again falter. He is with you always. Never will He leave you or forsake you. Jesus loves you and always will even into eternity!

:amen: Thank you for the great prayer! I agree, " Lord help us to not be self-centered today, focusing on all our problems, fear and failures, but let us put others first today. Let us show the love of Christ to other hurting people around us and glorify Christ through our thoughts, deeds, words and lives!", amen!

"8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you."

It does work, I usually look for something in nature that puts me in awe. Much like beautiful sun filled day, or illumination from the moon.

Just a suggestion =)
