Please pray for a friend...

[Miss Mayberry]

My online friend needs prayer. He struggles with depression and I don't know what all. One minute, he's completely happy, calling me "lassie" (he's Scottish), and the next he's thinking that he's got nothing going for him. To make matters worse, he's bisexual. He's also Catholic, but not by choice. If it were up to him, he'd be an atheist. I want so badly to witness to him, but he just brushes me off. I want him to know I appreciate his friendship, and how if he needs to talk, I'm here. But he's not that kind of guy. I don't know how to help him, having never dealt with this type of thing.

He needs prayer more than anything right now. Please, everyone pray for him.

You have said my lord "If I be lifted up that I would draw all men onto myself" I lifted you up my Lord. I see you on the cross. I see the blood the covering cominng down and onto the earth and the mercy seat is covered. OH what great love you have my God. Reach down now and touch this one. Heal him body, soul and spirit. Lead him to the cross and have him place his hands upon the lamb. Let his sin be cover and a new life begian. In Jesus name amen.

Only the Lord can take a troubled soul and a stained life and make all things new. I am praying for your Scottish friend.

Sounds like your friend may be manic-depressive, or maybe just depressed, which is hard enough. There are a lot of people who suffer, and many of our sisters and brothers here have a place to go. Here's one amoung others...http://www.christianforums.com/f92

Does he see a doctor? Sounds like a professional counselor would be really helpful, especially if he is conflicted in multiple areas.
May God guide your words, and give you strength while you continue to support him.

My prayers go out for him, and for you too.
