I believe I need prayer.....................

I have been feeling really badly since Cliff passed away....at first I thought it was depression working harder on me again, but now I think it is my illiness going along with depression! I have been on the Computer a lot because I don't feel like doing anything else! Old satan doesn't want me to post anything about Jesus and God's goodness, but I am more than an overcomer in Christ Jesus! Please pray that I will get to feeling better or that whatever is wrong that Jesus, the Great Physician, will touch me and make me well with His healing virtue! Sometimes we need the prayers of many to endure and overcome the trials we face and go through with Jesus! Doesn't mean we don't have enough faith but that illness and problems hinder in our praying diligently like we should! Thank you all for your prayers and God Bless! :angel: Ma Betty
 
I will start right now and continue!
 
its only normal to be depressed after the loss of a loved one. dont let it beat ya.
 
Depression and stress weigh hard on a body.
Sometimes the best medicine (after Christ) is to get up and to do what is in front of you weather you want to or not.
But, you can still have a vibrant prayer life while you are doing other things.
Don't forget it takes time to recover from the death of a loved one and keep busy to pass the time.

I'll pray and if the unsolicited advice is unwelcome then I apologise. (can't help myself sometimes)

Ma, we continue to pray for you. Losing someone close to you is tough, and you may still be grieving over Cliff and satan knows he can use it to try and draw you away from God in any way he can. You have God to comfort you, and you have us all to count on. You are kinda of our online forum Mama. Not saying you are really old or anything.:wiggle:
 
Thank you for your prayers and good advice but I'm not able to do anything right now because of my illness....get up every morning very ill but sometimes feel better in the late afternoon but still sick! I have been through this sick spell before, even while Cliff was with me, but seems to be worse with him gone and not here to talk to....he was helpful in many ways! I hope to be feeling better again and real soon because I have things to do with this house for selling it but I just keep dragging my feet! I tried starting on a few things but just couldn't continue! If anyone has had depression...not just the blues for a day or two, but where it is difficult to move let alone to do any work will know what I mean!

Yes, I have Jesus and He is with me but I guess I am still going through the grieving period but haven't been crying as hard as I had been! My mind just has a hard time thinking in what to do and when....serving Jesus is what I need to be doing now! And yet I don't think very many people care about the poems but I will continue writing and posting for Jesus! Amen! God Bless! Betty
 
Sent prayers for you Sister. Hold to the faith.
 
My prayers are with you. I know your pain and how Satan works, have been there myself. I suffered from depression for many many years. Satan tries to get us to focus on the long dark tunnel of our circumstances,............. and he is very good at it. We need to understand the tactics of the enemy, recognize when he is using them, ...... and reject him and his nonsense. Focus on that which is glorious and true, ........ our Lord Jesus Christ. Try and make a conscious stand to embrace only thoughts of GOD, and his Glory, ............see yourself standing in that Glory as his child, and put worry, strife, and the things of this world, out of your mind. Focus on the actual healing, ............. not that which needs to be healed.

Make any sense? I know it is easy to say, ........... harder to actually do, but believe me I have been there too and my heart goes out to you. I wish we could sit and talk, I could tell you of all the amazing miracles GOD has performed in my life. I certainly didn't deserve them, ...... but he did them. When Satan attacks me, I try to focus on those miracles and it helps to boost my faith and patience. I just lay those in front of the old Devil and basically tell him he will get nowhere with me. I am a child of the most high GOD, ........... and nothing will change that, he might as well go somewhere else and fool with someone else.

Ma Betty, just from the postings I have read, I see you as a loving child of GOD and a faithful believer in his son Jesus. Tell that old Devil to take a hike or you will call on your Dad to deal with him!

Remember, ........ every atom in your body belongs to GOD, and GOD alone. I pray he will send healing Angels to minister to you and reestablish his wondrous perfection. I pray he will send Armies of Angels to surround and protect you from all evil and harm. I pray GOD will give you his Peace and Assurance of his wondrous presence and love.

Sorry to be so long winded.

May GOD richly Bless, and Protect you Ma Betty, ............. I know he will!
 
I have like DK always thought as you as my forum MOM, You hang in there.
 
Thank you Pete for your prayers!

And thank you Zectron for your nice Spiritual post and I know what you say is true for I have had many miracles and blessings happen in my life, too, but when I really get down to business serving my Lord, satan attacks and tries discouraging me with illness and depression! (Depression is another illness to treat the same as a broken arm, cancer or whatever, it is just when your mind doesn't work nothing in your body does...it is like a heavy weight holding you down!) But, yes, I know how to make satan flee and I am feeling better right now! I have washed my hair and showered to be ready to go tomorrow for my prescription to be filled and other meds to be refilled plus buying some food. They are due the 20th and just ran out because I was taking two a day of the anti-depressants instead of one so they didn't last long enough and I just felt too badly to try and drive and go to the stores!

Satan doesn't like what I am writing in my poems and posts so he is trying to defeat me, but I am on the winning side for I have Victory in Jesus, my blessed Savior and Lord!

It is not only what is happening as of now but it also includes what has happened in my past and my sister-in-law on my ex's side (a long-time friend...we went to highschool together) wrote a long letter and it brought back too many memories of the past and made me sadder along with Cliff's death! But don't worry and thank you for your caring and for your prayers, as I do come through the trials to endure and overcome each one with Jesus! Shirley and I hadn't heard from each other for over 20 years and it just hurts to recall what has happened in the past with the divorce and not having a marriage and family any more like we once were! The pain and grief have been hard but I will survive this trial too and come forth a better Christian and servant of God for it!

I have so much to do to get my house ready to sell and to move into my Cuba home that it is part of my problems as it has been too long in getting it sold and moved...but couldn't do it with Cliff being so ill and having to see the drs often and then off and on in the hospitals! Also, trying to handle all the bills he still owes but his money won't last long and he left no estate, for all he has are some personal items, mostly old clothing...some that were given to him and some he bought while in Florida.... and a few coins he has collected plus some odds and ends which won't bring in a lot of money to help pay his expenses and funeral bill...............soooooo that is why I am more depressed and sicker, but with God I will make it, as I have made it with less money but was in better health and could even go :detecting: which I really enjoyed plus going to church and writing Christian poems! I love Jesus and I know He loves me! Amen!

The Lord has provided for and guided me for a long, long time through your generous and loving giving and others! I look forward to being with Him in Glory!

Thanks everyone for your prayers and God Bless and keep you all in His loving and protective care! :angel: God Bless! Betty
 
Thank you DK and 7centsworth! Now let me think, I am a MOM to three, a grandmother to eight living grandchildren and one step-grandson, and great-grandma to seven and now I am MOM to a large family of brothers and sisters on this forum. Hallelujah what rejoicing we will have together when we all get to heaven.....well that is my hope and prayer anyway! Isn't God great with how His blessings flow upon His children for He has no grandchildren? We all must get there by accepting Jesus as our own personal Savior and get to our Heavenly Father through Him! Amen! :angel: God Bless! Betty
 
You are in my Prayers.....


When I am down, I always Put my SG music on and Sing praise to the Lord


.......God Bless you Ma.......Obn/Joe

Hi Ma!

Hang in there... everything you're feeling is perfectly understandable. It's not an easy thing losing someone you love.

You definitely have to get more active though, even if it's just around the house or on the computer. Isn't there a saying that "an idle mind is the devil's playground" ? :)

Sure pray you feel better real soon!

Joe
