Update On Yesterday

[Anonymous]

For everyone who didn't read my post yesterday, I'm battling depression and missed a couple of days of work. The depression is putting my job on the line. I'm doing a lot better, but I still have bumps in the road from time to time.

Anyway, I plan on going into work today. I don’t want to go, but I’m going… I’m going to be late, but I’m going. Please say a prayer for me, protection over my job and me. I hate the job, but I need it for now. It’s a job.

I can’t keep going on like this. I cried all day yesterday, and I don’t understand why. Things are no better; however, things aren’t worse either, and things could be worse, but it’s not, so I don’t get it. I guess I just cracked under the stress.

Please pray with me for my life to be transformed. I want so much to have peace and security… spiritually, emotionally, and financially. I want to be happy and content. If things don’t get better, I don’t think I will make it through another year.

However, I feel that I’m so close to a breakthrough, and it’s frustrating to feel so close and still can get depressed or stressed out. I don’t get it, but I guess I’m only human. As you can see, I’m still trying to figure out some things. (I know that it’s Satan, but why does God continue to let Satan “play†with me?)

Anyway, I just read an email from a friend. He's having severe pain in his back. He went to the doctor, and the doctor suggested a series of shots. My friend had his first shot, and he’s doing better. He has no pain in his back, BUT the pain has moved to his legs! I don’t know what is going on. The only thing I can think of is it must be a nerve problem. He’s going back to the doctor. Please pray for him. He’s so frustrated and stressed.

Thank you so much for your support in prayer and comments. It means so much to me.

Hang in there...I cried most of yesterday too and I had pretty much licked my depression even though things were not that good. Well some amazing things are happening in little things that keep me going. God does help at the 11th hour and yes I pray for all the same things over and over and over. I pray for peace, security, financial freedom from burden, family unity and just joy of life. I am doing as people tell me and believing and leaving it all with God...but it is not that easy but the more I try the easier it is getting...I left work yesterday cus I could not function the anxiety and depression was too much. I cried out to a friend I never would have and it was like God making doing the txting and she helped me. I was dumbfounded but not surprised...God did that and he moved people into my life to help me with my mortgage situation like the most amazing knowledible lawyer in my city and he is doing it for free because he just likes to help people and make the big financial institutions squirm.. and the realtor he sent is amazing too may only charge me a portion of commission because he feels for those of us in this situation. A couple of years ago I took 4 months off work cus I was not doing well in my life and my job was horrendous....God at the end of those 4 months gave me a new job and today that is the only good part of my life.

Don't give up and let depression win, depression to me comes from the devil don't let them win...call out to God tell him how sick you are of being depressed you want more out of life...praise him for every little thing he does for you even when you don't feel like it and pray pray pray...he will come through how when not sure....but I know how you feel and we can only beat the depression through God...I know this...keep pressing on...we will be vindicated soon.

FYI I am not fixed yet, but getting there through the encouragement of some amazing new friends on this site we keep each other going...! Follow God as best you can at the level you are at...and please talk to God just openly like he right there and your best friend...!

You know...God has promised to uphold us through our trials and temtations, but happiness and contentment is something that is never promised in the Bible. It is through the trials and tribulations the Lord comes through and upholds us, so that we might experience his power and learn to rely on HIM, and not on ourselves.

Psalm 142

I cry aloud to the LORD;

I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.

I pour out before him my complaint;

before him I tell my trouble.

When my spirit grows faint within me,

it is you who watch over my way.

In the path where I walk

people have hidden a snare for me.

Look and see, there is no one at my right hand;

no one is concerned for me.

I have no refuge;

no one cares for my life.

I cry to you, LORD;

I say, “You are my refuge,

my portion in the land of the living.â€

Listen to my cry,

for I am in desperate need;

rescue me from those who pursue me,

for they are too strong for me.

Set me free from my prison,

that I may praise your name.

Then the righteous will gather about me

because of your goodness to me.
