I need a break through. I have faith. I've been a christian since I was 15. I'm now 31. I KNOW God can give people freedom, I know HE want's me free. I've seen Him set people free :)

I find myself in the middle of something profound for myself though. I'm battling what i've been told is "symptoms of PTSD." This is a result of things that happened so long ago in my life I don't even know how they could still have power over me. How do you fight something though that is having an effect on your body/mind that are instinctual rather than conscious. I feel out of control sometimes. I'm not a danger to myself or others, it's not effecting my work life, or my ability to connect at least on some level with others, but I fear that it will effect my ability to connect in deep meaningful ways or ever really be as vulnerable with someone as you should be if you are looking at engaging in a serious relationship with them. Obviously whoever God has for me will like me for me but I think I want to not pour out things on my friends and family that are not theirs to bear.

I know God is good, and I will not say else-wise. I would just like a tangible resolution, and I am desperate at this point for God do something.
 
Lord you know what mellybellyjf is going through please God help this christian be set free from all negative emotions, deliver this one from the works of the enemy. No more feeling of out of control etc In Jesus name
 
Hugs, setting you before God in Jesus's name for all help and healing.

God bless

standing with you mellybellyjf... i pray and hope you will get the breakthrough you require
 
I can relate, I need a breakthrough as well. I want relief from the box of fear encroaching in on me. Praying for you.
 
Dear sister, IM right there with you.. Lets go to his table with thanksgiving in our hearts, and praise him and give thanks
that our breakthrough and victory is on its way.

In JESUS name AMEN

GOD BLESS US ALL
 
You should feel free to pour these things out to God and friends and family. We are called to bear each others burdens. And keep in mind, God is faithful to guide us, but it will be on His timetable, not ours.

We all face trials and tribulations. But we must remain faithful that God will deliver us. As we learn to patiently wait, we should look toward each other for support and encouragement.

I pray God provides you with comfort and strength. God Bless!
 
Father, bring calm into this position, because I suspect that this affects more than one of us.

Help your servants identify these things, and then work through them with you. Help them find which of their friends and co-workers, or medical advisers can help them. Remind all of us that we may be called upon to "be Jesus" in the lives we lead, to other people. Amen.
 
Thank you all so much for your support. I'm not tooooo savvy at this network thing yet so I didn't even know anyone else had responded. So, here is my current update. I honestly feel God has healed me in part. I'm still having trouble sleeping at night at this point, but I'm seeking medical help at this point. I know God will heal me all the way though whether by a momentary outpouring of his power or working through others.

LOVE Y'ALL, means a lot :)
 
Father in Heaven,

We humbly come forward with Melly's prayer request. As we make this plea, it is with the understanding that our righteousness is possible only because of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He sits at Your right hand pleading for us so we bask in your beautiful mercy and grace. We repent of our sin and gratefully rest on this wonderful salvation that you have brought to us with your unfailing love.

Melly have already equip herself with the armor you so lovingly made available to us Father, and she stands just as you directed. Lord, you are her strength and refuge in this very difficult time, please give her the words to rebuke the devil and the fiery arrows that are coming her way. Lord of Heaven's Armies, we are asking that you fight for Melly so that she can be free from the torment of the PTSD-like symptoms. We trust in you Lord. We seek you Holy Spirit because we know there is freedom where you are. We pray confidently in Jesus name, Amen.
 
PTSD is a pain that is hidden from the eyes of others so I'm happy that You reached out. I understand trauma from the past has been in You and I pray to Jesus as I type this that this may be channeled properly away from You in Jesus name I pray, Amen
 
you lay it at the feet of Jesus and you ask Him to heal you and you believe that because you just laid it at His feet that He has picked it up for you. I truly think that God is our everything when we become His children. I have PTSD as well from a violent sexual encounter and its just GONE because I gave it to the Lord. He really truly does just pick that crap up for us and he uses it to shape us to become more like Him & he brings good out of it eventually because we are His. He is the only one who can help you, call out to our Father when facing this stuff more then to humans okay sweetie. He is our healer and he heals :D us. I pray asking you our Jesus that you help her overcome this struggle she is facing and that you bless her my King I pray asking on your beautiful name my Jesus, amen.
