Please pray for me
 

Hi Everyone.

I hope it isn't selfish of me to ask for prayers for myself but I have been having a really hard time lately. Life is getting me down and I am really struggling with getting on my feet and fighting this awful depression. I've been depressed before in my life but not like this. I feel anxious, depressed, angry, confused, hopeless and paralyzed at the same. I didn't think that it was possible, but I guess that it is.

I feel disconnected and I guess that is that worst part.

Any prayers and thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Love,

Hope

yes - dear hope
 

I am praying for you as I type...and I will cotinue for a long while...
I have seen miracles.

My prayers and toughts are with you at this time.:hug:

Hope I have been worried about you for some time now. I've read your various posts and wish I could do something to help you. Would talking about it help?
Please feel free to pm me anytime...and of course it isn't selfish to ask for prayers. I'm praying for you even as I type this. :hug:

Hope :hug:

Not selfish at all - sounds crippling. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers, and I hope your depression is lifted soon.

((((Hope))))

I pray you find that hope you are seeking..that you will feel the depression begin to lift and know that God is shining His light of love for you into every corner that feels dark and hopeless .

it is never selfish to ask for prayer for (((you)))....it is reaching out to others and connecting with them in a special way, and giving them a loving purpose to join their prayers with yours. thank you for sharing a bit of you with us,:hug: and for the blessing of being able to pray for you.:grouphug:

Thank you
 

Thank you everybody for your prayers. It feels awkward for me to ask and I also feel unworthy. That's not good, I know.

I've always have been pretty independent. What that has to do with anything, I'm not sure. Sorry, if I am rambling on about things. My thought processes aren't very clear tonight.

I do appreciate your prayers and concern. That is something that I am not used to. Maybe, that is why I feel unworthy. I'm used to doing everything by myself.

I have developed my own unique relationship with God over the past several years but lately I feel that He has disappeared from my life. And that hurts.

Thank you Chemar for saying this, it really means a lot. :)

Thank you, Alffe. I've always felt an affinity towards you for some reason. Maybe I will pm you.

Thank you everyone, I'll keep trying to hang in there. :grouphug:

Love,

Hope

Hope quotes by Helen Keller
 

HOPE -

“Hope is a desire with an expectation of accomplishment.”


Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope or confidence.
--Helen Keller




Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
--Helen Keller



“Never let go of hope. One day you will see that it all has finally come together. What you have always wished for has finally come to be. You will look back and laugh at what has passed and you will ask yourself... 'How did I get through all of that?”
Anonymous

God be prais'd, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.
--William Shakespeare

Bless you, Tena :hug:

I woke up in such despair this morning and to see this is truly amazing. You people are so kind. I didn't think I could deserve it. It makes me cry.

I am at a loss for words.

Love,

Hope

Hope ... I, too, continue to pray for you ... you've already taken the first step ... I've been there too ... we're here for you ... talking it out helped me - and I've learned that unless we open up, others can't help .. that's their gift - so, we need to let others help - it's tough ... but, it's okay..:hug:

dear hope

Thank you, (((Von, Tena and Cheri)))

I can't say that I feel much better today. It seems like I'm in the land of the Lost and Forgotten. I don't know what is the matter with me. It seems that the more I reach out, the more alone I feel. I have to wonder if somehow it is ingrained in me to do it all myself, that I don't need anyone. But, I know now that I do, but it feels so... not normal.

I'm sorry, I keep wondering where I went wrong. This really hurts to admit feelilng this way. I feel so alone. Bless you.

Love,

Hope

Daily prayers for you
 

If I hadn't seen your name there. I'd have sworn it was me who posted it. I feel that way too. Unworthy or that someone surley deserves it more than I.

You are so humble in your request, I've no doubt that God has turned his attention to you, to lift you up and set you down on the right path.

Whats that saying?

"When you saw only one foot print in the sand, it was because I carried you"

Brings tears to my eyes everytime!

Hope, you have talked to a doctor right?

Hugs

Faith
 

Dear Hope

As your name suggests, I believe you are hoping for help from higher beings.

I will pray for you, but first of all, you must have faith that God will be there for you.
We can only help you part of the way, but faith is your biggest ally.

You are not alone as God will be walking beside you and holding your hand, guiding you.

Do you go to church? Is there someone in your local Church who can also talk to you in some way?

God bless, please don't give up.

Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you too, and hope you are feeling better. take care....

I am so grateful that I found my way here a month ago. It has touched me in a way that I didn't think was possible. I have never felt this much compassion and caring. I have truly been blessed.

But I struggle still. And I ask you to pray for me again for I am afraid as I venture down a new path.

Love,

Hope

Hope ,

Your request is a very solid one. Not everyone recognizes their problems and not everyone seeks outside assistance. You are to be commended for that.

I did pray for you and I hope you find a way out of the darkness.

I believe things happen for a reason.

I have never been in this forum before. You are the first thread I have read here. I am not what one would call very religious. I do believe in God and I do believe in prayer.

Hope, let your doctor know what is going on. You may have a chemical imbalance in which there are meds to help. I had to turn there for help last year during a really bad MS attack. Telling your doctor may be the next best person to confide in (after us!)

I wish you well. Some roads aren't meant to fight alone.

Thank you very much Robin ;)

I appreciate your prayers. I also believe that things happen for a reason, although it isn't always clear sometimes what it is. I'm glad you found your way in here. I am not a religious person either, but do believe.

Yes, my doctors know and we're working on it. :rolleyes:

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's good to see you here.

Hey, Hope,

I want you to know that even though I haven't posted, I'm praying for you with a deep empathy for the situation. Hang on, something has to give, eventually.:hug:

I'm not religious either, but I am spiritual and will keep you in my prayers. Have you tried just going for a long walk in a public park? Sometimes just walking around others and getting outside connects us with humanity. A smile shared between strangers often says more than a Congress filled with partisan conflict.
