Glowbug I here you. I have isolated many times throughout my life because of my anxiety/depression. I am new at this program and am working on session 1. As with you I have experienced prayers that never seem to come to pass but not all of them. I am a believer and wanted to share that I am also reading a book by Joyce Meyers called battlefield of the mind as well as applying scripture. So much has been revealed the last week. This program is lining up with Joyce's teaching and scripture and has been filling in some spiritual blanks that I was blinded to. We have confidence that God does hear "our" prayers from the heart. We just have to find the escape route by faith. This program may be one of them. We have nothing to lose. I do feel your frustration! Give this thing a shot! I look forward to your posts!

Thank you Mhaz. Someday I would like to get one of Joyce's books. I have so many waiting for me to read...I'm overwhelmed. We picked some up from a garage sale. Each title seems to be the answer I am looking for. I just can't seem to find the drive to read.

Don't give up. Shoot it back to one day at a time and look at and focus on the positive things even the smallest of them in your life. I hear lack of drive! I having a hard time getting motivated back to the treadmill and working out. Tell ya what, I'll agree to start 10 minutes a day on the tread if you agree to read 10 minutes a day?

Hello,
I am new to the site. I struggle with getting into exercize. I think 10 minutes sounds great. It is a start and when I did exercize regularly (25 years ago) it totally changed my life. I had gotten into 3 X a week at the gym (1.5 hrs. each workout). I truely believe exercize is a big key to help battle depression and anxiety.

I came back on here this morning to see if Glowbug was alright and if anyone else had responded. I almost cried. From reading all the post. I'm so glad we have this community. There are people on here from all walks of life. You can get so maney different point of views.
Glowbug... Something I remember Lucinda saying that helps me when I get overwhelmed is...keep it simple, just keep it simple.

Victoria123...I wanted to say. I did 6 min. on the treadmill this morning. It was not alot but it made me feel better. I'm going to try and do 6 more later today. Every little bit helps

Hi Karen, thanks for checking on me. What a wonderful group of caring people. I'm trying to get a load of laundry done, but can't take my eyes off of all the excitement for the new President.

This alone will life my spirits today.

I like what you said about keeping it simple. That takes alot of pressure off. I will try to remember that today!

Have a wonderful day!

Hey now! I didn't forget about that treadmill Glowbug. Like you I got caught up in the inauguration stuff and plugged into some study about my anxiety with this material and the Word. Things are making sense and getting a little more clearer. For sure I am more intuitive to my fears and panicky feeling that comes with business related encounters that I was blind to before. Was able to work through most of them with some of the recommendations. Having a hard time getting these thoughts out of my head and on paper. New one I found out of John 14:27 Amplified says Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled]. This did speak to me and agreed with the material in this program.

I love the scripture that says, "Be still and know that I am God." We are control freaks by nature...right???? We think we need to be in control all the time...Have you ever wondered if we are playing "God?" Well, I have thought on that a lot, and now I have come to the conclusion, that I am playing "God" every time I try to control my circumstances....So, I use this scripture...and, it really helps me...I am not God, so, I don't have all the answers, and I can't control the universe, but He can...So, I just have learned to let go, and let God...You know, let go and let God take care of it all...To trust in Him for everything...Who do I think I am trying to control every aspect of my life???? I don't have that right, because, I am NOT GOD!!!! Valuable lesson for me!!!! I use it almost daily!!!! And, it works for me...God Bless!!!!
