Im severely depressed...plz pray for me

carabara

I feel real silly asking for help, but i dont know what else to do. I recently went through a cancer scare of my own, and for the 2 previous years i have been going through thyroid cancer with my husband of 16 years. We both cannot work much because of our health issues, but we do what we can, we are not lazy by any means. We had to get health insurance through the state though, because our bills were more then we could manage. Today we got news that as of the end of this month, they will not cover us any more. I asked the caseworker why that is, and her response was, because i am receiving 200.00 in child support a month. My heart just fell. I sunk in my seat and said u gotta be kidding me. My husbands prescriptions alone cost approx. 400.00 a month without insurance and mine so far equal 176.00 a month. How do u figure that 200.00 in childsupport offsets that??? And child-support is just that, childsupport for my SON...not me. She did not answer me, but just to say, im sorry thats the way it is...its not me, its the states guidelines. Anyways not to bore any of you with my problems, but can i please ask that you pray for my husband and I?? and our 2 children. My son recently moved back home from living with his father, and my husband and i have a daughter also. Thanks for the prayers....cant hurt to ask for them. ALSO please pray that i can find the desire not to be mad at GOD for this, and that i will draw closer to him. Im a Christian but a terrible one. You wouldnt know it if you met me, i dont have that enthusiasm about God that i used to have. Im a terrible example of a Christian to everyone, even my family. I need prayer!

A warm welcome to you, Carabara! I don’t generally post on this board, (time constraints)
but read it several times daily, and pray silently over the requests here. Today, sister, my
heart goes out to you, for the difficulties you’ve endured, and something you may not be
aware of!

You’ve been robbed!

Not only have you been robbed, you’ve entered a war without a weapon - you’re unarmed!

I’m talking about prayer. In this case you’ve been duped into thinking it’s ineffective,
unnecessary, and of little help. This is the most subtle and devastating thing that can
happen to a Christian, because it separates you from the One who has the very answers
you need!

Carabara, standing silently next to you is the Lord Himself, the Creator of all, the Power
without equal, the One Who gave Himself for you, the Giver of life, the One Who has
thought about you more times than there are sands of the seas! He spared NOTHING
to purchase you, and NO ONE, NO ONE could love you more. There is not a single
good thing that He would deny you. He has many titles, amongst them Provider,
Comforter, The Mighty Counselor, our Help, our Healer…

What’s He waiting for, Carabara? Three words: “Come. Ask. Receive.”
This is prayer! To actively seek out His presence, His companionship,
His direction, His help. This can ONLY be achieved through
prayer. That’s the ONLY way and place we can get to know Him intimately
and form a strong relationship with Him.

Your needs are large. But the Lord is larger! Your needs are many. He
has no limit. Where will you find the wisdom, power, and unlimited
supply that is necessary to resolve every one of these issues? Standing
right beside you, waiting for you to speak. Don’t be robbed any longer
Carabara, lift up the only weapon that is capable of fighting and winning
the battles taking place. Remember this - He calls us VICTORS. You’ve
been declared the winner ahead of time! He knows this to be sure, because
He’s ready to help you. And He doesn’t lose.

Lord Jesus,

Thank You for an invitation unlike any other - to come continually into
Your presence in prayer. We are blessed beyond our greatest understanding,
and welcomed by the One Who longs for us to discover the depths of His
love.

Today, Lord, I pray You will overflow Carabara’s heart with joy, washing
away the doubts, fears and sense of helplessness she has experienced while
trying to stand on her own. You are ready and prepared with all the help
she could need, and more! Draw close to Carabara and envelop her in
Your strength and promises. Let hope run rampant upon her Spirit, mind
and body! She has access to the Greatest Defender and Provider of the
Universe, what will stand in her way? Spill out Your sure and undeniable
answers upon this family, we ask. Show them the power You possess to
bring healing to every facet of their lives. Set excitement within their
Spirits as they present themselves to You in prayer, revealing more and
more of Yourself to them. Thank You for calling them victors, for this
is Your promise and guarantee of help. They have been armed, blessed
and dressed in the armor of Your love, and cannot be overcome. May
Your children lift their hands in prayer and praise, find them emptied of
need, and re-filled by heavenly provision.

In Your Name, Lord Jesus, and for Your glory,

Amen.

Thank you so much for your words of wisdom, and reminding me of what i have forgotten. I so appreciate it. I shared your reply with my husband who didnt even know i posted my request to begin with. He was almost in tears because he was so moved by what you said and reminded him of also. Sometimes we just need wiser people to remind us. I thanked God for you today. That he sent you my way for a reason. I also prayed today! I cried but i prayed. I cried because of the guilt i felt for not talking to Him as much as a should. I know i am forgiven for everything...all my sins, but i neglect to thank HIM. I more or less asked Jesus to "take the wheel". His will be done. I know God will not let me withstand more then i can take, my mother also reminded me of that. Some days i just look up at the sky and say Jesus you can come back any time now, its okay with me. But then i realize, thats not fair of me, im just looking for the easy way out. That will be a wonderful day though! I can hardly wait! Anyways, I just wanted to personally thank you for taking the time to give me the push i needed. I have alot of personal things besides financial going on in my life (family issues) and i now realize that i need to bring my needs to God and lay them at his feet, and leave it up to him on how to decide to handle things and to give me the strength to endure it all.

Thanks again,
God Bless
Cara
