A Prayer

[nnancy]

Hi,

I struggled with "stepping outside" a panic attack for a long time. I never seemed to be able to slow my thoughts or turn them into positive effective thoughts. Lately, I've started to pray and ask for help with the negative thoughts I am currently experiencing. I find I begin to calm down and start getting some positive thoughts that are actually effective. I've never been particularily religous, but, I've discovered a calmer more positive person on the other side of those prayers.

I really like the fact about praying thank you so very much for the information. I need a lot of prayer. I also think that sometimes prayer for each other helps too.

Well, in my life prayer has fixed things that seemed unfixable. I too am having trouble slowing the negative thoughts. So....i shall pray for positive thoughts....Thanx for the advice.

I agree with you nancy. Its just for me I feel like I have so many negative thoughts too and I start becoming panicky like nothin is going to get better for me. Its like a cycle. I try and pray everyday but sometimes I forget. I need to make that a goal for me to do every day and every night. Thank you.

I too believe in prayer but my depression is so bad I cannot climb out. I admit I slacked on this program but picked it back up today. Listening to Session 2 cd while I post. I am really trying to be positive, know what to do, and reaching out for all type of support. Tonight I am making myself go to a Restoration Support Group at church. I also thought through when and where do my anxiety attacks happen. When I awake immediately chest pains hit and no desire to get up. Then as I focus on God and other things it goes away. But it takes me time, hours sometimes. Then my second attack is right before bed. All I can think to do is pray and read anything from God and motivating books.

Suggestions to move forward and climb out of my depression that is preventing me from job hunting and enjoying life and do volunteer work I so want to do?

Blessings and prayers to all.
