thanks karenLeigh... i too am thankful God put us together... you have already helped me so much and yes, this program is definitely helping too... God IS so wonderful!!!!!
yesterday at church... it was SOOOOOOO awesom just to know you guys were praying for me... God really did some terrific things in the worship service... i play the organ and am usually so nervous about making mistakes and ruining everyone else's worship... but yesterday, God completely took away that fear... He told me i wasn't big enough to ruin anyone else's worship... that was between Him and them... WHAT a relief... and just knowing you were praying gave me so much strenght... THANKS to all of you who have and will continue to PRAY believing that HE will answer according to HIS good and pleasing and perfect will... much LOVE,

thanks Barbie727... your encouraging words are a blessing to hear and it makes me want to hang in there a keep doing good... God bless you for that...
if anyone reads this before tonight, please pray again... Wednesday nights we have Bilble Study and Prayer Meeting from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. and i would deeply appreciate your prayers... just knowing i have this wonderful group on-line is giving me so much strength and courage...
again we will be driving the 30 miles to and from... i haven't shared this part yet, but part of my anxiety about the road trip has to do with a major car accident i had in 1977... i fell asleep at the wheel and rolled the car like a corkscrew 6 times, then hit a boulder and went end-over-end twice... that was before seat belts were a law and i was thrown out of the windshield... the patrol report said i was traveling in excess of 85 miles-per-hour when i rolled... so i still work on being ok in a car... even though that was 32 years ago... so ... now you know a little better how to pray for me and my husband as we travel this 30 miles 2 times a week... guess i'm asking for safety...
because again in may of 2005, i rolled another car while going to meet a friend for lunch... not sleepy that time... just put my purse from my lap over to the passenger seat in the front and took the steering wheel with me as i acted... that time i had already set the cruise control and could not gain control of the vehicle without pressing the brake to break the cruise control... anyway i just could not believe that i rolled ANOTHER one... oh my goodness... what did i NOT learn the first time that i would go through this again?... still wondering... but God has once again proven HIMSELF faithful and i am healed up once more... much of my anxiety and depression comes from those two events in my life... the first accident took 2 years to recovery from a broken neck and a left leg reconstruction -- had to learn to walk again -- and the second one was just a broken sternum... so, hence, my fears... BUT I KNOW THAT GOD IS GREATER THAN ALL MY FEAR so i continue to trust HIM and ask for prayer every time i have the chance... wow... that was more information than any of you probably needed to know... but it's what it is... ya'll take care and i pray that any of you going to prayer meeting tonight will be blessed and receive joy unspeakable from just being together with other believers...
much LOVE,
kj

Hey Phaaz,
Are you doing the program? It will really help you to understand why we think and feel the way we do. If you want to talk about something I'm here and there are sooo maney other caring people on here who are willing to help too.
You can start a topic or keep posting here. I know for myself it was hard to open up at first. I think we all feel that way though, really and truely. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Take care and God bless

HE works it together for good... i'll be praying for you... and looking forward to how HE will use this in your life... much LOVE,

Hey keithjoy. . . . thanks so much for responding! I feel like crying just knowing you guys are out there and I'm not alone. I've been doing so well up until about 4 days ago. Now, it seems each day is somewhat of a struggle. I am doing the program, but I seem to be getting worse. Is this normal? I try and let go and let God, but I feel like I am letting Him down which I suppose causes more anxiety?!! Thanks for praying for me - I will pray for you also. Look forward to hearing from you.
God bless you,
Phaaz
God bless you,

good morning,
a few years ago when I was going through the program.I did not feel like I was getting anything out of it.it was a struggle for me.what I did was continue on and began listening to the relaxitation tape.as I got more into the program I could listen to the tape and as I was walking down the path that she talked about.as I got near the water fall in the dstance.I saw another path and there was a small stream.the grass was green and I took my shoes off and sat on the bank.I put my hand in the water and let it run through my hands.as tears begin to fill my eyes I know that I was getting somewhere.after thatyhings got better.
as we go through life feeling the same way.our bodies does not like change and even though we might feel odd.it might be that we are getting better.just thought that I would hsare that with you.being a ministers ife i know that it is hard for you.hang in there.do the program and in time you will feel better about yourself.do not worry about what others think.take care and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and God Bless.

Hey Phaaz... let me give you my experience with the program... maybe it will help you... i pray it does... in december, my husband ordered this after watching the infomercial on tv one night... you see, i had been to several doctors and on several meds and my anxiety just kept increasing... when he told me about the program, i was SO excited i came on-line to soak up all the information available to me at that time... YES, i thought, at last GOD has answered my prayers for deliverance... well, i could hardly wait for the materials to arrive... waiting,,, waiting... so when they came i thought oh boy, we're gonna see some results now..
the first four weeks were fantastic... i got better almost immediately... then something happened... we planned a trip and i thought i was ready to get away for a while... but before we left i received an email from a church member that was SO negative, it blasted me back to a place i cannot even describe... our plans were to leave after church Sunday morning and come back Wednesday morning so we could travel to the church for prayer meeting... well... when we got there i had been getting SO much worse that i would not even leave the hotel room... my husband was distrought and threatened to "kill" this person... but we both knew that was just what he was feeling at the time... i cried and cried and could not get out of bed... so i called the 800 number where they helped me get started and they said this was quite normal during week 5 of the program... they were SO helpful and told me to go back to session 3 and write my feelings and replace them with positive feed back... well,,, i could not think of ANYTHING positive to go with this circumstance... and my materials for session 3 were at home... 300 miles away... so i cried and cried more and tried to look at the little cards i had brought with me and i had the cd for session 5... nothing seemed to help at the time... my husband ended up checking us out a day early and we came home... i repeatedly tried to replace the negative with the positive without much success.... but my husband convinced me to just move forward in the program... so i did...
when i finally reached session 10, at the very end of the cd, Lucinda gives an example of POSITIVE self-talk... wow i could have used this after session 3... but it helped me so much that i am now on session 12 and loving life again... in the mean time... while i was trying to get back with it... i spent 53 days in bed or in my robe in front of the tv, trying just to cope ... it was not pretty,,, i did not want to shower, clean house, go anywhere... in fact, i don't remember EVER being THAT depressed before... and i hope i don't have to go there again... it was indescribeable... but i never quit praying and asking God WHAT i was supposed to be learning... after the 53 days, i tried getting on line again and giving this a try with the support group... and it has made a WORLD of difference... just as you say, knowing i was not alone meant so much and that others would pray, even when they had no idea what was going on with me... i give ALL THE GLORY to GOD alone and how HE used this program and support groups to help, heal, and deliver me once more... so, if this helps you, it was worth all 53 days of misery...
hang in there and i know we're not supposed to jump ahead or skip around in the program, but that session 10 end of the cd positive replacement dialogue is SO WONDERFUL...
i will keep praying for you and know GOD will too answer you with SO MUCH LOVE ...
much LOVE,
kj
