Losing my relationships due to depression and stress

by malena
(corpus christi, tx, usa)

Hi, I have lost most of my friends and my family is not happy with me. I suffer from depression and anxiety issues. Everything is falling apart. my son on his bday accidently shot a child it broke the skin but wasnt bleeding and is now being charged with a 3rd degree felony. it was an accident. He has never been in any kind of trouble and is a honor roll student since he started school. my daughter is showing signs of skystrophranie and refuses help. I found out i hv corporal tunner and urbnial nerve damage in both hands and im constant pain. i am unable to do much of anything without extreme pain. my sister took back her abusive husband that is hateful to my nephews in california. and my mom is mad at me but i honestly dont have a clue why. i am in pain all day. now my pay is being cut to in sept. so i am going from $3600.00 a month take home to about 1650.00. i am ther primary bread winner and no matter how i try to fix the budget i can make it work. i feel like i have lost my connection with the almighty lord and i am ashamed when i pray to him for all my sins. i have an 18 yr old daughter that is in town all day she says she is it at the mall but i know she isnt. i told her the rules but she said she can move it with her friend ( that doesnt hv food or water ). I dont know any of her friends but 6. she is in love with a felon with MAJOR FACE PIERCING and also a FELON for stabbing someone. I have had so much medication for my hands and mental issues i am falling apart. no one want to be around me cause i have lost my happiness, peace and joy. With all this how can i appear to be happy so i can have someone to talk to. i feel so alone. my husband told me the other day i sound like a broken record cause my memory is bad and sometimes i repeat things. it broke my heart so i have decided to say as less as possible so now one will be mad, angry, annoyed at me and just try to deal with it all myself. Please show me how to put on a front for my family before they hate me and feel GODS presence again. OUR FAMILY NEEDS HIS LIGHT AND GUIDENCE SO BAD!

Jesus Delivers!
by: ace

Dear Father, In the Name of Jesus, We come before Your throne of grace-Father, You alone are all worthy of our praise and thanksgiving-we praise You dear Father in the midst of these storms-these storms dear Father, Your grace, Your Word empowers this loved one to stand strong and to VICTORIOUSLY WIN EVERY BATTLE-Father, You say if any man lack wisdom to ask, and You give liberally without finding fault-Father, We ask You and thank You for the impartation of Your wisdom-that is only found in Your Word-Thank You-Thank You-precious Lord for blessing Your sweet peace-peace that transcends all understanding upon, about, within every portal of this loved ones mind, heart,and soul-thank You Lord that by Your unmerited grace, Your peace quiets all the voices of the enemy-that she only hears the voice of our Good Shepherd, and His Voice only does she follow-thank You Lord, You lead her in paths of righteousness for Your Name sake-though she walks thru the valley of the shadow of death, she will fear no evil-for You are with her-Your Rod, and Your staff they comfort her-You prepare a table before her in the presence of her enemies-You anoint her head with oil, her cup overflows-surely goodness and love will follow her all the days of her life-and she shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever! Dear Lord I pray, You circumcise this dear heart and lead her into all truth-Father, thru her prayers and loyalty to You, every chain, shakle,and every demonic work of the enemy be severed, broken, and removed-Father, thank You that Your Spirit of confidence, courage, and boldness arise and empower this loved to take a godly stand in every area that concerns her-all that You Father have placed before her. Father, in Jesus name Your Spirit of all righteousness and anointing come upon, about, within this loved one mightily-breaking all the works of the enemy and taking back her family- for and in the name of Jesus! I declare 'n decree the power of the living Blood of Jesus heals,delivers,restores and breaks every demonic stronghold upon, about, and within this loved one and her family in Jesus Name! Father, I ask You to forgive all sin, errors, and wrongs in every area in these lives-Father, I speak mercy and forgiveness unto all those who have hurt, and offended each of these loved ones-power of fogiveness breaks the power of satan the thief, who is but to steal, kill and destroy-The Healing Blood of Jesus upon, about within this loved one-renewed, cleansed thru the forgiveness and Blood of Jesus from the crown of her head to the soles of her feet in Jesus Name! YOU ARE WORTHY! THE BLOOD MAKES YOU WORTHY!

Be strong in the Lord

Hi Malena,

Oh my, oh my, oh my. I've seen lists of issues before, but yours is definitely a long one. I can only imagine how it feels to wake up each morning to face all that you have to face.

Malena, many of the issues that you've described are beyond your control. You are not responsible for every action of every member of your family. Nor is it your job to worry about the decisions they're making.

You have enough issues of your own to focus on. First and foremost is your own relationship with God. Recommit your life to Christ. Start fresh. Confess your sins, receive forgiveness, and turn all this stuff over to Him.

God is more than capable of handling all this stuff. But it requires you to pray IN FAITH, believing that God is working it all out.

More than ever, your family needs to see what a strong Christian looks like. They need to see that being a faithful Christian means you are calm in the storms because you know in your heart that God has it under control.

Now, based on your list of issues, is it easy? No, probably not. But Malena, you can either continue to spend your time worrying about everybody and everything just to make your self even more ill, or you can trust God and do what He tells you to do.

Which way do you think will give you peace? Which way will help things get resolved? Which way will help your family?

It's your choice, Malena.

Blessings,

Karen
