Hey everyone I could use some prayer I’m finding it hard to accept certain things in my life and things I would like to do or hoped for seem down the drain and I find life difficult. It feels like I cannot face them though I try to look to the Lord I still cannot seem to get past accepting my life just the way it is and my mental health doesn’t help and I’m going to drink (btw I am a recovering addict) my mental health doesn’t help at all my diagnosis seems to prevent me from achieving anything or even obtaining anything in life it seems.. I can’t face these things so I am drinking to cope even though I know it may trigger some trauma from my past…

I’m going to drink (btw I am a recovering addict)

Drinking in no way is going to help. It's a depressant. A spiritual lie in a chemical liquid form. It wants out of its bottle and into you, and will tell you any lie it can to make that swap. Don't fall for it. You have my prayers - if you are a recovering addict, you also have *a lot* of phone numbers you can call and local meetings you could head to; use them my friend.

I pray that Christ would walk beside you through the difficulties of your life. I pray that God would grant you better mental health and all the resources you need. Lastly, I pray that God would strengthen you to stay away from alcohol.

There is nothing impossible for us that know HIm. "and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and MINDS through Christ Jesus. He also said "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound MIND”. Hold on to verses like this never let them go. KNOW who your Father is. KNOW no matter what it looks like sounds like feels like. He can do anything. We tend to listen to that lie and believe this is it and can not get any better.

Read His word.. find promises of what GOD your Father promised YOU! Not what I say or anyone else. Your FATHER IS GOD! All this was made for you. He came as if you were the only one what would believe. Song playing listen to it "your not alone" by Meredth Andrews. Search for it on YOUTUBE. Its not by chance that song playing right when I am typing. KNOW He played it for you.

There is something else your looking for.. been looking for a while now. But the enemy lied to you saying maybe it was not meant to be. That desire 1st came from the lord but the enemy came right away to steal it. He already set in motion the answer.. sent it. So get involved in some Church or the like.. and know you are in agreement with another believer that KNOWS the Father heard and He will answer :) So don't doubt any more.. yeah.. I have to.. typing that the word from the song playing "its a matter of faith" HAHA amen amen! No scared but bold to say to know not wonder not guess by HIS strips you were/are healed in JESUS name.. a sound mind.. its as Peter and John in Acts said.. its faith in that name! JESUS CHRIST! IF I offended for give me.. never meant to.

My neighbor couldn't even take a pill without going down that road to drugs again. You know that. Only you can stop that move. This battle only gets worse until you stop it. God loves you and give you strength to come back to him. He is waiting.
God bless you and help you down the righteous path!
