Pray that I can break this cycle of throwing my life away every few months.

I seem to do great for 3 - 9 months....working, getting close to God, praying, etc. Then, I pack a duffel bag and "walk away". I've started over like this at least 5 times in the past 10 years.

I aim to start counseling soon, and explore the possibility that I have something mentally wrong like bipolar or depression, etc. I have always attributed it to laziness, but when I do this in the dead of winter with nowhere to go, I wonder otherwise .

Some specific requests:

Regaining employment with the American Rescue Workers.
Closer walk with God and a hunger for his word.
Victory over the spirits of depression, apathy and suicide.

God bless you!

My prayers are with you, my son does the same, he is now 23. My heart goes out to you, it will not lead to a happy life, as you know. I pray the LORD will help you find out the reasons for this and heal you of them, that you might have a life of purpose and peace in Him. God bless.
in Him, Leslie

I know exactly what you are going through. I would do good for a while, then all at once, I'd leave. I am a bipolar. When I would get under a great deal of stress, I would walk off of the situation instead of staring it in the face. That's why I went through numerous jobs, marriages, and homes. Once, I even took off for Texas for 9 months. I didn't know anyone there, I just up and went. No one knew where I was for two months. The police were just about to give up and assume I was dead, then a strange thing happened. I got pulled my the police and they ran my license and found the missing person report. That's when I woke up and realized that I had done something terrible. That was only the beginning. I'm not saying you are bipolar, but it wouldn't help to talk to someone before things get worse. I will keep you in my prayers.

Our Heavenly Father, we come before you today and thank you for all your wonderful blessings. We ask that you be with our brother and guide him, that he will take the right path from day to day. We ask that you show him what you want him to do, and keep him safe and true to thee. We ask that you help him to grow daily in faith and knowledge. We ask that you answer his requests and give him the stability he needs. We ask all things in Jesus' name, Amen.

Dear Lord, I pray for dholbrook Lord for the things he has asked for. Please guide him to a good counselor, a Christian one, and a good doctor if he needs medicine Lord. I pray he would hunger for your word, and I pray that for me also. I pray that he would absolutely deny the power of suicidal thoughts or actions, but acknowledge you in all his ways. I also pray he may regain his job. Please help this precious child of yours Lord. Thank you. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Dear God,

Please heal dholbrook from this problem. Give her a special measure of your spirit and loving care. I pray that she may once again work for ARW. Send your spirit upon her and lead her to where she should be in spirit. Show her your love and compassion and keep her. Keep the devil far from this woman and work a miracle in her life. Heal her from this depression. Put the Joy of your love in her heart and uphold her. I pray this petition in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Lord God give this man the strength and the determination to overcome this burden in his life. Help him to realize what is causing him to walk away so many times and give him the mindset of you to overcome this trial. Help him to release this burden to you Lord, and help him to shoulder what he cannot carry. Speak to his heart, that he will totally release himself to you Jesus. That he will no longer rely on his own strength or will, but your strength and will that you have set forth for his life. Bring healing of the depression Lord Jesus and let your light shine as hope and peace in his life. In your name, amen.
