I have been suffering from depression for awhile now, I have sought help and do take medication to control it, yet I find myself getting into ruts all the time that I can't get out of. I have been looking for a new job for about two years and have been praying about it on a daily basis. I feel that I am losing connection with God, I feel like he is not listening. I try not to let myself by into that thinking, because I know God will be there for me. I just wish I would see some answers to prayers.


If you wouldn't mind, please pray for me to be able to get over my depression and not to lose faith in god. I know I won't, ever lose faith in God, but pray that I know he will always be there for me.

Throw in a prayer for my current job situation if you don't mind.

Praying for you, for your depression to lift, for you to find good support and help in dealing with your depression and also for your job search.
Asking the Lord also to send you comfort and a sense of being listened to, so that your faith in Him may be strengthened and for your trust in him to grow.

Lord Jesus, I ask that you bring peace and contentment to this man's life. Allow him to see how you are working in his life. I ask, Lord, that you give him direction about his current job situation and that you work your purpose in it. Jesus, we cannot begin to imagine how much you love us. Let this man know and experience the great love you have for him. Draw him closer to you, Lord, let him feel your loving arms around him.

Just wanted to update you guys and ask for more prayers, I have been applying for different jobs for the last couple months and have not received much feedback. I always call and check my messages to see if there is any for me. I applied for a job the other day and called yesterday to check my messages, before I called a said a little prayer and low and behold there was a message on the phone about the job I applied for, this job really interests me and I feel I would be very good at it.

I will be calling him aroung 1pm central time today and ask you for your prayers when I talk to him. I really feel inside that Jesus was behind this position getting posted and them contacting me, if you could just pray for God to be with me today when I speak with him I would really appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

:pray: Dear heavenly Father, Please help UDogs persevere during his times of depression. Please help him to have hope, and to have patience with himself, and his body, and to keep doing the things he needs to help heal himself, and feel better; please help him to feel your presence, and help him to be open to your Spirit that he may be guided to the work he desires; please help him to be strong as this illness lingers, and guide him to those who will help him heal, and will offer their support. INJC. :pray:

Heavenly Father, i pray that you would help out UMDDog with his depression. Lord, that you would help him to devote everything that he does to you. Father, fill him with your wisdom, so that he can discern your will for his life, and that he can follow it. Father, i pray that you would help him to feel you with him, that he wouldn't lose sight of you in anything that he does. Father, i pray that you would help him with his current job as well. That above all, your will would be done in his life, so that he can look back on his life and say that he lived it for you. In Jesus' name, amen

God bless Bro. Guess what?? I live 1 mile from UMD! :wave: Please drop by 1112 East 4th Street (1/2 block from the Ski Hut) and (right next to 4th Street Auto Repair -- mine is the blue house), and come on into the front porch. I have a pad of paper, and a pen, hanging by my front door.

If I am not home (when and if you drop by), leave your name and number, and I will get back to you. I work at a group home with 4 disabled gents, and though I am not too familiar with depression, and if ya wanna talk bible, life, whatever, I'll help!!

Saw you on earlier today, and couldn't believe the UMDDogs screen name! :D Also -- I am in the phone book -- David Miller (address above). You'll get the answering machine, but leave a message, so I can get back to you.

Small world, eh? :scratch: ;)

LORD,
Keep working in this mans life. Strengthen him daily and help him to serve You in all that he does. open the doors for him to receive this job he got the call about and help him to excel at it. Guide him always through the indwelling of thy Holy SPIRIT. May he be a source of blessing and edification to all that You bring into his life and may he in turn be blessed by them.
In JESUS Name we pray
