I got a message from God

The spiritual response to anxiety and depression

I dealt with anxiety and depression the first 4 months of 2007. Now I have learned thru God that I am definitely glad my rearview mirror is so small and my windshield is so big! I have lots to look forward to if I just keep following Gods plan and don't look in the rearview!

How awesome to be in group with so many believers... If it weren't for God I don't know where I would be today. A week ago I was struggling and as I opened my bible I prayed Lord give me a passage.... The first thing I read was that God will never give us more than we can handle or something others have not faced. We are not alone in this often scary anxious place. When I do my deep breathing during anxious times I repeat Lord give me peace.....

"...my rearview mirror is so small and my windshield is so big!"

Thanks, HRH, I hadn't thought of life in this way before.

Gods message to me was listening to the radio and hearing the commercial for Lucindas program. I entered the number in my cell phone and i didn't use it for a few weeks , but one Sunday i woke up and i had the need to call and I must say 3+ mths later i am on a new road. I was also in our local Sams club and i happened to walk by the book section and a book seemed to jump out at me ( i am not one to read) i picked it up " Your all that " by Paula White and i turned to a chapter that was everything i was going through and i could not put the book down , as my daughter huffed and puffed since i was taking so long, i purchased the book!

Praise God for He is always listening!! The poem "Footprints" is one of my favorites and has gotten me through some very depressing times. Just knowing God will carry you through life when you do not have the strenght to do it on your own and that He will not let you fail unless you choose to on your own. I will not asks for signs, but isn't it amazing when He sends them when you need them the most, just for confirmation that you are on the right track. God bless.

I think This great is great and I am going to check it regularly. I used to automatically go to the OCD/anxiety forum and read all the depressing stuff (which in turn made my anxiety stronger). I have choosen a different path this time. It's been a year since everything crashed down on me. And it's actually funny...I PRAYED FOR IT. My freshman year of college I prayed for God to give me a deeper meaning of life...and he took me on this road less travelled where I have met so many people like you guys/girls..ITS A BLESSING!!!!

Mary Lu- FOOTPRINTS IS EVERYWHERE IN MY ROOM. IT IS EVEN ON MY FOOT. I GOT A TATTOO OF A LIL FOOTPRINT ON MY LEFT FOOT (MY WEAK FOOT) SYMBOLIZING GOD.

Hello soccer18,
Im very happy for you, that you received a sign much needed, or maybe a reminder of the night before. I'm not a very religous person but i feel that i am ok with god and he is ok with me. I myself have been praying lately just thinking him for getting me through another day, and for being my guider through a tough day or attack. I just the other day received a prayer through my email and it for sure couldnt have come at a better time. When things like this happen they for sure lift you up. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story. It has lifted me on such a hard day. You are blessed. Take care.
