I need to get back into the bible. I have stopped reading it again. I'm struggling with the thoughts of suicide again. It's easier to distract from them now then it was before. I'm not obsessing with it but it's still there.I have been trying to listen to praise music more and that helps some but I have so much time on my hands and now i have something available that i did not know was there until yesterday which is making it harder for me. I just keep telling myself I can't do this again to my husband. anyways, please pray for me.

Thanks,

Melanie

Some Words Of Support.
Life can bring such troubles
And complications too,
But you often feel so helpless
When they are happening to you.
For, we sometimes can't believe
The confusion that we feel
When we imagine that our hearts
Will never start to heal.
Yet, even at those times
That are the saddest there could be,
Please know the time will come
When they'll be joy again to see.
Live one moment at a time
Try to trust and just let go
And the shadows will pass by
Far more quickly than you'd know.
And although it isn't easy
Keep your hopes and dreams alive
And know that this troubled time
You'll definitely survive.
See Jesus died on that cross
For all our sins and strives,
And never will that change in life
For me or for you. :pray:

Heavenly Father I lift up goobersmooch in my prayers right now. I pray dear Lord that this family will know that you are the Lord. Bless them Jesus. Turn things around. O God, we look to you. Cause them to rise up O Lord and face the day in your strength...

Amen

Lord, thank You for Your people. I pray for G-smooch and her friend. Give them both strength and encouragement. Help her to see that the pain is only temporary and it is to strengthen us in these last days. In Your Precious Name I pray. Amen.

Peace and Love

Lord I know what it's like
To have what these people have
Help them to seek counseling
As well as the love and support of
Family and friends
Perhaps also medication as well
In thy name and will amen

Hi everyone! I am doing better and thought I would let you know. I went to my psychiatrist this week and she increased the mood stabilizer. It has gotten easier now to fight off Satans thoughts. Thank you all for your prayers!

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


:pray::amen:

Thank you Lord that Melanie is yours and that your hand is upon her. Lord draw her from this place of darkness and bring her out into the light. Lord I thank you that she stands on the rock, and you are her fortress and strong tower, you are her defender and shield. Lord protect from all sides, let nothing that is not from you enter in.

I also pray for her friend. Lord you know the place that she is in, you know the pain that she is carrying, Lord grant them both mercy and compassion, give pour your love and draw them both to yourself. Lord let your light shine on both these people and bring them to a place of truth. Thank you that you redeem those that are lost. Let not the enemy come and rob, steal and kill the work of your hands.

I ask for your provision to fall and supply all there needs, I ask Lord that you soften the husbands heart, and pour your love and compassion, I ask all these things in Jesus name.
