hi everyone, ive had the same problem with the staff but thats ok thats why we are all hear to share and help eachother. jupiter7 i realy enjoyed reading your last post. i to am a christian raised in a baptist very strict home. So i have a question have you ever fallen out with God i have been a rollercostermy whole life pulled by the world my family and God. Ive always gone back to our Lord knowing he was the only one who could help me through any situation however 2 yrs ago my life began to fall apart I had everything i realy wanted and needed at the time besides a family of my own. so as i started to attend church again i renewed my faith and trust in God ask him to give me my hearts desire even if it ment i was to give up everything else. well guess what he answered my prayer but with a price i almost lost my life and after that i slowly sank into a deep depression now im on this program yet again to help with the anxiety and depression ive been seeking the Lord everyday trying to keep my faith and trust in him but im so up and down i dont have many christian friends just family and im having problems finding the right church so if you have any advice or words please share.

Hi all,
I,too, am a Christian with the problem of depression and anxiety. I am working this program and also praying the scriptures for recovery, I have found a book you might be interested in, Praying God's Word by Beth Moore, she has grouped scripture passages in chapters relating to certain problems, with depression specifically included. This has really helped me.

Hi giga247: Oh yes, I have-I have fallen in and out with God beig so mad at Him and really blaming Him and the world for what happened to me that I lost my youth because of it. But, God is so faithful even when we are faithless. He comes chasing us down in a unique and Godly way because He is God. I too don't have much Christian friends their really acquaitances through church-I know that they will eventually become my friends because they are very caring and loving toward me. I attend a Seventh Day Adventist Church(I was catholic growing up than when I had my own family I than attended Protestant Evangelical Churches till 2 years ago due to they were not teaching out of the Bible-Scripture. And we decided to not go to church for awhile till we found our home family church through the three angels message channel-you can go to www.3abn.org to find a church near you. I believe in what they believe the Bible-Scripture and they teach out of the Bible and not put their pagan ideas in it and preach false doctrine. They even tell us that we should check it out in the Bible what they preach to see if it is aligned with God's Word and not false doctrine. I also like www.amazingfacts.org because they have all kinds of literature to help me grow maturely in Christ. www.3abn.org also has a phone number you can call to ask for prayer with a prayer warrier and that's where I go when I'm in such an emotional rollercoaster-it's like i'm in a raging sea with thunderous waves of emotions that I feel like I'm going to go crazy. They also have a form you can fill out to e-mail what you need prayer for. I hope and pray you will check it out and attend a seventh day adventist church near you especailly in these last days. Please stay in the Word also (no matter what)-this is what helped me for alot of years now-i'm now 42 years old even though i don't look it-Thank God for His favor and grace. 'Cause Jesus tells us not to depart from the faith and in the last days there will be those who depart from the faith and will be lost. Also Satan is on a prawl due to his time is getting short so he is targeting God's people now to bring them down with him. And when you stay in the Word & study the Word than you won't get deceived and it's very important to get to a bible beliveing and preaching according to the Bible no and's if's or but's in these last days. Those who endure are the one's who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus (Rev. 14:12). Please also check out www.benabraham.com/html/rome_s_challenge.html

also www.whitehorsemedia.org is another comfort and encouragement. These sites have free info. and free podcasts,etc...The next Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide is "Background Characters in the Old Testament" this is taught in all seventh day adventist churches across the world. which all these bible study guides have helped me tremendously in my faith which is why i am able to keep keepin on and never giving up to depression and anxiety. Everyone has it--it just I am sensitive to it and that is ok. because it is written : i am fearfully and wonderfully made-Psalm 139:14--I cried tremendously when i first read psalm 139 years ago and even today He is still telling you and i He loved (put your name here) so much that He gave His only begotten Son so that (put your name here) may believe in Him and may not perish but have everlasting life(John 3:16-NLT). And when your dwelling in His Word His mind will be your mind, His heart will be your heart, his will will be His will and His plans will be your plans-this will eventually be your desire this is what He means You are a new creation in Christ and the world and all it stuff that the world tries to find and keep will no longer appeal to you because you are a new creation in Christ. I asked Jesus to help me fall in love with Him because Love concours all - love casts out all fear-i pray this daily beause daily i need it to help me to not dwell in anxiety and depression and even the PTSD that I have. May God Bless you and keep you which I know and am so confident that He is for He is the Great I Am. If you have any questions or need an ear,etc... I'm here

Graciously Jupiter7

Hi all. I also have found another great book that has helped me: "Pressing in to His Presence by Shelley Quinn > it's about developing an intimate relationship with christ through prayer. As you know if we are dwelt with Him in Truth and in Spirit daily than we are dwelling with Him in a saving realtionship daily till He comes back to get us all. God Bless all --Jupiter7

Hi....Yup..I've been so depressed that the scriptures didn't soak in, but I knew I couldn't fight with God. I've gone down the wrong road and suffered the consequences, but God was there all the time. One place in the Bible it tells us that our spirit groans within us when the burden is too heavy.
There is a good book by T D Jakes, titled "Woman Thou Art Loosed" It is not a big book. You might have to go to his web site to get it.
Today was a big day for me. I got through the day without a panic attack. I went to church and sometimes when I walk in the door my ears start to ring and body starts to go limp. But today I was fine. Happy day !
When you get the program in the mail, that is where your counceling comes from. Be sure to listen to the CDs several times, especially the first ones and the relaxation CD. It is worth the time. K
