Prayer Circles

I suffer from the same things. This is one of my favorite bible verses.

But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.

God is with you. Surrender all your needs and problems to him. I know it feels really lonely sometimes and I know what it feels to be at the end of your rope. I hope this helps!

All praises to our Lord. Hi Ivy, I'm praying for you even now as I type these words. For I no the pain and torment that you feel. I pray that the Lord our God grant you and I the peace that we so desperatly need. Jesus said his grace is suffiecient for now and I have every faith that his word is true. Hold on dear one, for what ever you ask in his name he has to and will grant it unto you for his word has said so. Thou I'm just a sinner too, I believe his word is true and he has already made a way me and you. May the lord bless you and keep you in this time of trouble. Always seek ye the Kingdom of GOD first. Amen

Ivy, I pray that you will have peace of mind and that all things God's love will surround you and give you the peace you are looking for. God Bless you in his holy name.

I also have an Adult daughter that seems to be going through the same thing and you are truely not alone.
God be with you.

My Lord, My God, please help Ivy to see her path out of the dark place she feels trapped in. Let our prayers help her find courage and clarity and the loving help she needs.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

I have been where you are and found the strength of the Lord inside me to help me pull through. I pray that you may find the strength to pray many times a day and believe your prayers are overpowering these negative ways. There is not only power in prayer but peace as well.

I pray for you that you will find ease from the things you are going through. I pray that God will help you. Ask your Angel for help and your Angel will help you. Love from Cameelia xxx

After finding out my brother had passed away on the recliner that he used to sleep on since his cancer had weakened him, I was reminded of the following poem I had writen a few years back. There wasn't 1 day that we didn't talk on the phone, and he spoke of the loneliness living alone that he faced every day. I guess sending this poem out to you helps me in some way, and makes me realize that we all could be there in that place some day. The poem helps me understand where my brother was, and where he is today.

My Knees Are Worn Down
~ by Earl D Waggoner, Jr;

My knees are worn down
From the prayers that I've said
A worn piece of carpet
Here by my old bed

The mirror on my dresser
Settled and unclear
I guess from the tears
It's seen from my fear

The patter of grandchildren
Whispers of my kids
Smells of fresh gravy
The clatter of lids

Things that I did
In my youth are so clear
Yesterday's memories
Lost as I hear

I open my eyes
See only dark gray
To see what they look like
Hear what they say

The wish of an old man
Wasted and worn
Wishing sometimes
I'd never been born

The carpet's all worn
My sight is a blur
My hearing's all gone
My knees are both sore

My only friend, Jesus
The angels He sends
To hold this old hand
And take me to friends

Ones that have gone
That I miss more than life
To be free in the heavens
Free from pain and from strife

Then thoughts of my friend
Jesus Christ is his name
Comes to my heart
My mind and the same

Feeling of warmth
I've felt when I pray
Comes over this body
Pain goes away

I asked Him to come
In my life long ago
When life wasn't kind
And I was so low

He stuck by my side
Ever since that sweet day
Through the tears and the laughter
And now that I'm gray

I have faith that He'll take me
With Him up above
No more pain will I feel
No more lacking of love

Take me home, sweet Jesus
From this old rotted bed
My knees are worn down
From the prayers that I've said

The carpet's all worn
My sight is a blur
My hearing's all gone
My knees are both sore

My only friend, Jesus
Is here by my side
To hold this old hand
And take me for a ride

To the heavens I'll go
To see ones that I've loved
That I've missed more than life
To my home up above

To be free in the heavens
Free from pain and from strife
Take me home, sweet Jesus
End this old body's life

Deppression can be real and I've found , in my case, medication for deppresion is not enough. Talk to others, pray with others, and don't hide your feelings with your friends and your Higher Power.
The timing of my brothers death couldn't have happened at a worse time. We are in located in South Carolina and his services are in Michigan, and we are without funds to attend. I have major deppression and with even my medication the signs are returning ~ not sleeping, not eating, anxiety, withdrawing from others. I also have bladder cancer and heart problems, and my wife is worried sick. I need your prayers right now more than anything else. I'll pray for you, Ivy, and if you could, please pray for me and we can get though this time together.

Dear Ivy, I hope you are feeling a bit better, I've been thinking about you and sometimes when I'm on the bus I get panicky feelings, I've been getting them now for quite a while, but what always works for me is if I think of the name Jesus, I feel better. Just saying or thinking the name of Jesus works for me, honest. I hope you feel better soon. love Cameelia xxx

May you feel the presence of our Lord even in your darkest times, and know that he is there for you.
You are not alone.
Ivy,
I have suffered from chronic depression and anxiety since I was 14, I am on disability for it. I am now 52. I understand! Light a candle, and just sit quietly with the Lord. No need to do anything else, you will feel his presence. Try to do this a few minutes every day if you can.
Try not to isolate yourself from others. Try different medications.
HUGS and remember, we and HE love you.
Susan

I am a Vietnam Veteran who suffers the same. I know how you feel. I read this every single day John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I you, let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid". Sometimes you can't do it alone. Medicine is a miracle as well even though people say, "don't you have any faith". I now take 40 mgs of Paxil my symptoms are under control. I still have faith! We all may experience earth bound illness. God bless you. Ayinn

Father God, your child Ivy needs you right now. I pray
that you will let her know of your presence..that you
are always there, supporting and guiding her. Help her
to see the light and just give her strength and
courage that she is not going through all this alone;
For you God, are also going through this along with
her. Please guide her way back to you. I pray all this
in your most precious name, Amen.

Dear Ivy, I am thinking of you I wish I could soften your pain. I too have delt with depression and panic and confusion. At first all I could do was go to a park and sit maybe walk or watch the water float by. After a while I got blank after the blank I started to be kinder to myself. Like I was almost starting all over again. Soon I started to read alittle first I read A Course in Miracales (I'm not a good speller hope thats right.) Its written by Marianne Williamson. It was like reading and praying at the same time but I still felt so exhusted. I guess thats common for depression. I had to keep walking this path nothing else to do.( or sitting with it) which made me so frustrated. Then I started to picture Jesus Christ before his death in the garden praying to his Father in heaven to take this cup from him he pleaded so hard he sweat blood. I finally knew somebody somewhere knew how bad it was to carry a terrible burden. I started to see Jesus was suffering as we suffer as everyone suffers in their own way about their own things in their life. In that passage Jesus says Father take this cup the same way I was asking to have my depression taken my burden. I could see how everyone walked through their own path and pain. It came into my mind about this cup. Picturing this golden cup it was my burden but it was golden I pictured it very simple but it had a glow.( I think maybe I was the cup picture yours anyway that comforts you)) Then my thoughts went to the 23rd psalm in it it says yea though I walk through the valley of the shawdow of death I will fear no evil (I wont fear my pain and heres the clincher) thou are with me (Im not alone) and my cup runnth over.... That struck something in my heart the something I think turned out to be hope. I didnt see it coming or have any plan to find it but it was there I just couldnt see it. Now I could see it. I cheered up at the thought that even me in my lonely dark place no one could see me or reach me I still had a cup ( so do you Still sometimes even now (I have had bouts on and off for many years) when that feeling seeps in I dont always see it happening I try to see I have my own cup everyone does sometimes its empty but I kinda know it will runnth over some how some time some where Its my cup sometimes its empty but it does fill. Sorry for this long winded story I just wanted to tell you, its not a traditional prayer but it feels like a prayer to me and I hope alittle for you. I hope that somewhere some how some time even if your cup fells empty today it will be filled and it will runnth over you will have a full cup in your own time in your own way. Because we all do have a cup and it will get filled by something and you will feel better. There is always hope where there is life. Wishing you may see a little flame flickering its we cant always see it but its there and its hope.

My Lord God, I have no idea wher I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. (Thomas Merton-Thoughts in Solitude)
I happened to find this just when I needed to, I hope it also helps you. Peace be with you...
