DEPRESSED /ALONE

Dear Shirley,

You will surely be in my prayers tonight. I know that I am only 20, and probably haven't experienced half of what you've been through, but I offer you some of my advice.

I have a heart for those who suffer from depression, having already mourned the loss of three friends from suicide due to it. Firstly, I encourage you to pray-- for your daughter, for your husband, and anyone else who may be involved in your situation. Pray, pray, and then pray some more. Though it seems like, sometimes, nothing is happening when you pray, remember that YOU are a child of the God of the universe, and He most certainly cares for His children, listens to their prayers, and responds to them. Secondly, if your daughter is attempting suicide, get her help immediately if you have not done so already. Children are a blessing from God, but they can be hard to handle, no doubt. Even in your daughter's times of rebellion, show some degree of patience with her, and if anything, at least try to show her that you are attempting to see issues from her point of view. At the same time, you also need to assert your authority over her as a mother. It's a tricky balance, but remember that people are fragile. You are fragile, your daughter is fragile, and so is your husband. Find underlying causes of feelings of bitterness, anger, depression, loneliness, etc., and try to work toward resolving them, if possible. Finally, your husband. Now, I'm not married, neither am I fully informed of the situation between you and your husband. I can only say this: I met a woman who was having severe problems with her husband, and she said that he didn't love her anymore. This turned out to be false. Her husband loved her dearly, but the day to day struggles between them overshadowed it. If this is the situation you're in, don't say your husband doesn't love you. Those feelings are lies, and shouldn't be believed. If this is not the situation you are in, find some support from other family and friends, and work out your problems in a way suitable to your situation. Don't ever believe that you are alone. There are people out there who will hold you up.

Shirley, I hope this helped in some way, shape, or form. Some of the advice may be obvious, general advice, but sometimes, it's necessary to hear it from different people, even strangers. If anything, know that there are people praying for you, and God is watching over you and leading you every step of the way. Stay strong in faith, because surely there are brighter days to come. I pray peace over you and your family in hopes that everything will be resolved.

In Christ,
Revalon

Praying .

Ps 18:2 The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.

Standing with you, fighting for you and calling spiritual things in the heavenlies that are not as though they were. And quickening the dead to life. Blessed be.

Keeping you in prayer Shirley.

God Bless you and may Jesus be with you.

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
( Matthew 28:20 )

The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.
( Psalm 145:18-19 )

I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
( John 14:18 )

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
( Hebrews 13:5 )

Heavenly father please help shirley with her many problems. Help her daughter to seek help and stop having suicidal thoughts. Help shirley remember that you still love her, and will never abandon her. In Jesus name. Amen.

Shirley,
I don't know you but I know depression. I want you to know that you are not alone. My thoughts are with you. You are important to me. I have seen your name on different posts here and your comments have been appreciated by me. I want the best for you in Christ Jesus. He will give you strength to make it through this tough time. I know He will. You know He will. Try to remember how important you are to all of us here. There is always something more God wants us to learn. If we can just step back for a moment and let Him guide us we will have some peace and He will be able to work in our lives. Sometimes our suffering brings others closer to God. We just need faith.

May the Holy Spirit give your mind and heart rest. May He ease your pain. May God the Father show you His love. May Jesus words provide comfort for you. In Jesus Name, Amen.

As a daughter who has tried suicide on several occassions i KNOW no one would try to end their life just because they cant have their way. Maybe you should sit down and talk with her? After all, you are her mother.. no matter if she doesnt want to hear you (keep God in the mist) you can be sure that she listens.
Im sorry to hear that you and your husband are having complications, but give your worries to God- he wants you too. He's upset when you try to handle things yourself instead of giving your everything (good &bad) to Him. <3
I dont know if this will sound cheesy- but you're loved <3 Maybe that's something you need to hear. With the chaos you're going through you can always find peace in He who give you strength!

You're in my prayers <3
God Bless!

Shirley,
When my dad was dying the Lord spoke to me. It was so hard to sit there knowing that I had so muc to say yet I had no words. I couldn't really help
him. The Lord brought the old story in acts where the people are begging Peter. He tells them he doesn't have money but to use and walk. He offers them real life. Despite understanding a lot of what you're feeling, I have no words, but that the God o the universe who formed you in your mothers womb will see you through. Sometimes we need our friends to have fighting faith for us. My faith will fight for you in this, so that yours can fight for me in another circumstances.

May Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah bring you comfort and strength my friend.

You will be in my prayers my friend.

Peace and Blessings in the name of Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.

Shirley,

I will pray for you and your family.
The love and power of Jesus is amazing!
I can feel it in this place!
May God bless and Keep you All!
In His Love, Shekaniah
