Please pray for me. I am up at 2 am because I cannot sleep. I am so depressed and drained. I had to help a friend who was suicidal tonight and I feel lower because of it but I can not turn my back on a friend who needs me. Yes please pray for her as well. She is struggling really bad with suicidal thoughts and she is counting on me but I just don't know how much I can help her due to my condition. She says she reconisdered doing the Suicide attempt today because of what I said to her. I know somehow I am encouraging her but It just keeps reiterating things that are going through my head. You see she says things exactly the way I see myself. The sad thing about it all Is I want to help her but I do not want to help myself. I see it as useless. I'm so tired. I am scared about tomorrow. excuse me today i forgot it's 2 am. anyways, my husband wants me to look for a job because we are both unemployed.i told him i not ready to find a new job but he is pressuring me to. the thing is i was hospitalized for depression and thats why they fired me. how am i going to keep a job even if i DO find one. Which I doubt i will. my husband is obsessed with winning the lottery. he is so sure we will win that he day dreams all the time about what we will do. he only spends 3 dollars a week one dollar a night. i keep telling him the chances we will are very slim anyways and i am pretty sure God doesn't want us to win the lottery. not only that he is idolizing money in the process. So he is in Fantasy world and I am over here in reality snapping my fingers telling him to wake up. :doh:

Please pray for me when you read this because I need some real intervention in my life. thank you all!

Melanie

Dear Lord, I pray for Melanie who right now may not have the strength to impart to her friend, because she herself is struggling so. Give her words of wisdom, and let them sink deep in her heart too. I pray that the thoughts of suicide would go away. It is too scary to contemplate. I pray for her friend that she would seek counseling. It is hard to be strong for someone when we are feeling weak ourselves. God bless Melanie, and give her rest. Watch and protect both of them Lord. I pray DH would understand the predicament that Melanie is in; that she is not ready to work. Please provide ajob for him. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

I know it is hard but if possible get your friend to talk to someone and take the pressure off yourself. I know exactly how you feel in not wanting to let her down I was in a very similar place myself recently.

Lord I pray that you meet Melanie where she is right now and that you give her the strength to get through each day. I pray that you will help her husband understand what she is feeling and not pressure her into anything that she feels she can not do.

Lord God, I pray to You that you will help this couple. Be with the husband, lessen his love of money and see the true joy of You, which is worth more than anything on this earth. Be with her friend who is have suicidal thoughts dear God, and be with her to keep her strong. Let her not give up hope. Let her know that you are in control, and end the end, let Your name be glorified.

Hi, melanie,

i think with the meds your on, its quite normal to feel tired with them till there in your system properly, you should improve in the tiredness area within about 3 weeks. You may also find that getting a job may help occupy your mind a bit and begin to make you feel more positive about yourself. Its probably nerve racking but sometimes it helps.

Lord I pray you'll lift Melanie out of all depression, help her feel positive about herself, and help this medication kick in quicker, take her worries and stressess Lord and bring peace into her mind. Amen

Im-revived:pray:

Father,
I pray for this woman. I pray that you will heal her of this depression and help her to overcome. I pray that if she decides to seek a new job that your will be done in that. I also pray that you will be with her friend. Help her friend to see that there is purpose on earth and that dying isn't going to make it any better. I pray that each one of them will turn to you through everything!

In Jesus Name,
AMEN

:prayer: for you Melanie.

My advice to you is to dive deep, long and hard into the Word of God. Pick a verse that means something to you and memorize it. Commit it to your memory. Repeating it daily, hourly as long as you can during the day. It is truly amazing how your mind changes when you replace the negative, depressive thoughts with the Word of God. It brings light and encouragement. You have to do this for yourself and only for yourself. Not for your husband, not for your friend or even your family. Let God work in your heart first.

I hope this helps, God Bless you!!!
