• 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.

God wrote this (and I typed and passed it along) to comnfort someone I know whose father is dying, and He has also used it to help a couple of others I know, maybe it will bring comfort to someone

I know that I can have no comprehension of what you are going through right now, But I do know that God knows what is going on, and He wants to not only to give you what you just enough to get you by, but He wants to give you the peace that surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7.
Right now, we are in a pivotal time period. I have noticed how it is becoming more and more difficult to truly put our faith in God, but when we do, the peace and comfort we feel is so sweet and overwhelming, that we feel as though nothing could ever separate us from God again, and indeed, this is the truth!!!! Romans 8:35 This rest that God gives us is the Sabbath rest that He promises in Hebrews 4:9. This rest provides healing. Take into account that Christ HEALED on the Sabbath, and while we can easily say that this was to prove that the laws were no longer necessary, we can also infer that that was to symbolize that Christ healed when you rested entirely in Him!! When we give our worries entirely over to God, we then rest in Him, and give Him FULL reign in our lives to carry out His will. While God has control in every situation, He will not do anything without some sort of consent (Behold I stand at the door and knock). Healing is no different; Jesus always asked a person if they WANTED to be healed before He healed them. He would not invade someone’s life without them desiring for Him to intervene.
“For freedom Christ has set you free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to the yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1 Sickness is a slavery. You can become a slave to the weariness that sickness brings, to the medical bills, and to time that is lost where you could be spending time with a family member, a friend, a mentor, mentoree, someone who is not saved, a job, or a favorite activity. All of these things can be extremely uncomfortable, and possibly cause you to loss faith in God’s ability; but God is able to do all things, and He will never allow you to remain in bondage once you call upon His Name and earnestly seek freedom.
What is going on is part of God’s perfect plan, no matter how little sense it makes right now. Acts 17:26 states “He hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him and find Him, though He be not far from everyone of us.” God has preordained everything in an attempt to call as many people as possible to Him, I do not know who God would want to draw to Him in your situation, maybe its your parents, maybe it’s a family friend, maybe it is someone they will encounter at the hospital, or maybe God wants to further develop your relationship with Him. Just know that God loves you, and many are praying for both you and your loved one
IN Christ,
Psalms101

due to some current events with another mentor, i added this today, and decided to update.


Healing is not only possible, but also guaranteed. However, the way healing manifests itself is not guaranteed to be what you would like. Healing brings peace to the one who is suffering, whether it completely medically heals them, just makes them well enough to function effectively, or takes them Home for the ultimate peace. I cannot tell you what God’s plan for healing her is; however, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that her healing is coming, and will bring her peace.



GOd bless, and never give up
