I'm not going to go into too much detail publicly. If you want to know more than I'm writing then please feel free to message me.

Basically I have multiple mental health diagnoses including symptoms of being depressed and hopeless. Today my faith hit a brick wall. I got angry and was wondering why was God ignoring me and letting me suffer alone. But I feel bad about getting upset. I just feel so alone and I don't know where He is anymore. It's like I became too annoying.

Anyways, please pray that my mental health and my faith improves as well as my hope. Hope is very important to me. I have the word tattooed on me. Any words of support is helpful as well as prayers.

Love,
Nelly (Janelle)

Hebrews 6 New King James Version (NKJV)
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. 17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

I had some rough years but not the challenges you are going through. My heart goes out to you sister in Christ. Our Lord and King is Master of all yet He suffered while here on Earth. He wore a crown of thorns for us.

Hang in there keep in prayer constantly always starting with praising and glorifying God and His Wonderous works. Keep in His Word the Bible as well. Both will be a salve for your soul.

Have you sought out help through your church? If you don't have a church I highly recommend you find a loving church rooted in God's Word which has ministries to help you through this rough time.

God Bless.

Ah it's so nice to have someone who cares right now. I actually don't have a church. I would like one but transportation has been an issue. I also wouldn't even know where to start as to which church to pick, ya know? But lately I've been desiring a church home.

Matt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you

We really need to be looking for God first.
Psalm 53:2 God looks down from heaven
on all mankind to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

A church is not a building but where 2 or more believers gather and Jesus is present. Have you anyone around you that are Christian where you can fellowship with?

Since you been desiring a church home is a sign that God is working in your life. Pray to the lord to help you find a church that is great for you and where you can grow.

I am praying for you.

God bless.

If you are annoying God with your prayer I am in a TON of trouble! God never gets tired of hearing from His children. I too am diagnosed with general anxiety disorder, depression, and OCD. I know how hard the fight is. Keep praying. Do not stop. Sometimes the answers to our prayers come later, but eventually they do come.

I will be praying. Always.

Lord have mercy!

Father, I trust that FP is not ignoring the daily reading, studying, and interacting with Your written Word by praying to You as she responds along with it as she is reading. I pray that she would experience peace by applying Philippians 4:6-7; hope through applying Romans 15:13, and faith by applying Romans 10:17. Amen. Your Word has a prescription for the symptom of every spiritual ailment we have. Now we just need to take and apply that medicine if we want to cure the ailment. Amen.

Sister i feel for you. Depression is no stranger to me. Best advice i can give is to seek and trust in the Lord Jesus. Know that He loves you immensely and will never leave you. Sister, give your hopelessness and your pain to Him, surrender it to Him trustingly that He will move and help you. Reach out trustingly to Him, that He wants to help you, that He wants to be with you and be your hope. Reading His word and trusting Him that He will help you in your dark days are the best advice i can give. Also praise music can help and prayer. There is something very soothing in a quiet, heartfelt prayer, spending some time with our Lord praising Him and trusting Him with our pains, knowing and trusting that He hears us and He knows and feels our pain and frustration. There is nothing like it.

I will pray that Lord Jesus will touch your heart and guide you and be your shoulder for you to lean on, sister.

I have a friend who lives about an hour away from me who is spiritual. She's the only one I know who is. And I prayed about it last night. Thanks again :)

Thank you so much! I've been listening to praise music and it's been helping me out a little more. Last night I read the bible again and I haven't in a while so it was nice. I was reading Isaiah. Thank you sister. I appreciate your prayers and encouragement.

I’m sorry to learn about the struggles you’re facing, Nelly. Are you seeing a therapist? Know that I’ll be praying for you, asking the Lord to reveal His healing presence to you in a special and powerful way, filling you with His love, peace, and strength in the days ahead. ((Hugs))
