i guess i feel guilty when i post a prayer request just for myself but im going through something hard and my own prayers arent working so im asking for yours as well

i have a really bad virus, it's causing me very bad headaches and all the other typical flu-like symptoms. i've been lying in bed trying to sleep for the last few hours but the virus, and a panic attack, won't let me, so I've only had about 4 hours sleep and I pretty much need 10 to feel normal. the fear of having panic attacks like i did in the past is making it even worse... i have had panic attacks that lasted for weeks/months without stopping, and I can't stand the thought of waiting that long again

on top of this, i have to go to the shops today and buy a present for my dad because it's his birthday, then I have to take the train to his girlfriend's place, have dinner with a few people and then sleep over there.

I just have absolutely no physical or mental energy to do this, but i have to. I'm not very good at "being there" because I have fears of talking on the phone and going out... and I promised him I'd go. my prayers arent working and i'm not feeling any better so i ask you to please pray that i somehow can do all of this today...i just dont know how i can hide all of this for 2 whole days and appear normal. I can't tell them what goes on with me because they don't understand. "Ignore it and it's not there" seems to be how they operate. i just want to stay home but it's complicated and isn't an option this time.

thank you

"i just want to stay home but it's complicated and isn't an option this time."

Observer, this is a time where someone with more energy should tell you to call in sick. Otherwise, you're spreading your germs to him, right? I know someone who had a similar illness last week who couldn't sleep--that must be one of the symptoms. Breathe deep, stay warm, and fall asleep.

What's the worst that could happen if you stay home? Oh right, you asked for prayer, not a doctor's note.

Heavenly Father, you know the exhaustion that observer is feeling now, along with the stress of everything he has to do and the anxiety of what could happen beyond today. Relieve him of his fears. Help him completely relax, and bring him favor with his family. Bring health and rest. Take away the pain of the headache, and help him rely on You rather than the little strength he can muster. Thank you for caring about all the details of our lives.

Thank you all

My virus has almost gone now, I think... I did all that stuff I "had to" do, and it wasn't too bad.

I'm going through some kind of emotional crisis now though : )) just feels like there's always something wrong with me, it's so stupid... I seriously have no clue how to cope right now... just feels like there's no solution and I feel like the living dead

Thank you for your prayers, I think it really helped that day, I'll pray for you too

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you, the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. (Numbers 6:24-26.)

May God look after you today, this week, and for the rest of your life; helping you cope with everything happening and providing you with the answers you need.

Amen.

Blessed are You, L-rd G-d, King of the universe who has planned for our salvation since the beginning. Please reach out and touch this person in a personal way and extend your mercy and grace upon them. Awaken the dormant spirit within them and provide them with the blessed hope that is only found within You. In Jesus sweet and mighty name, I pray.

Hi Observer -
Hope you are over the flu in time for Thanksgiving. I'm so glad things went easier than you thought.

The emotional crisis, coping, no solution - if you wish to discuss these things, we would be glad to try to help. Many of us have felt the same way in the past.

I'll pray for you, friend.
Aloha in Jesus

Happy Thanksgiving Observer, I pray that the Lord above would give you a sense of peace and joy and that your cup of blessings would overflow so that you may share them with others around you. I pray for your physical healing of the panic attacks I have not personally experienced them but my old boyfriend struggled with them and it is a scarey thing, please remember that the stripes that Jesus bore have healing power and God is able to do above and beyond what we can imagine.

I hope that this message finds you feeling blessed. Have a wonderful day.

Life can be like driving a car wihout a steering wheel. God is the steering wheel who gives us guidance - that is valuable advice - to help yourself and other lost people. Sometimes the Bible can be hard to understand, but there are clues or hints that God mentions in the Bible that will keep us alive for Christian work. It's all about helping each other. I remember a story about Jesus feeding a crowd with bread and fish. Two of the most important food items to stop all kinds of diseases. Also there are certain fruits and vegetables that bacteria and viruses cannot stand because of the mysterious powerful chemicals created by God that scientists can barely understand. There is one special vegetable that has the most unique chemical that will resist many types of flu, and that's the great garlic. :hug:
