I really struggle with asking for prayer for myself, especially atm. I am good at being there for others, but find it so difficult to ask for help and can often neglect myself - but here I go! I feel I need to be honest and vunerable about what I am facing which is why I add to this post. I suffer from depression/anxiety. Whilst this is generally controlled very well through medication, the past 3 months have been amongst the toughest I have experienced. Im a distance University student and motivation, concentration and retaining information has been minimal to say the very least! I suffered from insomnia up until my Dr changed my medication 3 weeks ago and this change is helping me sleep but making me lethargic during the day. I am horrendously behind in my work and havent had a chance to study for exams. My first exam is in 3 DAYS (Saturday - NZ Time) then I have 2 more -the following Weds (NZ time) and the next Sat. I am soo not prepared for these at all and my comprehension is pathetic right now. I am a determined person, though at the moment it would be so easy to walk away from study but I know that God is in this...he has led me down the path of gaining a degree and as he has done before - he will see me though this....for he will strengthen me and uphold me. I continue to trust in that and ask if you could agree with me in prayer for God to supernaturally empower me, motivate me and help to to comprehend what I need to know before my exams. I thank you so much in advance for taking the time to pray for me. Christian Chat has been a blessing to me since I joined. Many people I have chatted with have brought fantastic joy and laughter to me which I have been missing lately! I cannot thank you enough for your friendship, support and prayers.
