Just been having some weird mental health bouts lately, possible spiritual warfare, not sure.

I feel like my purity and closeness to God has strayed big time and I’d like to get back there.

If people would actually pray and not just say I’ll pray for you, that’d be great.

Thanks for the 🙏

I suffer with bouts of mental illness , and this Scripture brings me comefort as I know God guards my heart and MIND in Christ Jesus...

Philippians 4: 7
And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I often feel a bit like that and I've noticed , if I think about it it's usually if I haven't read my Bible or , if I've been reading it when I was too tired to really take it in properly . So I remedy that by reading it on a morning when I'm fresh and not waiting until the evening when I'm a bit tired . As soon as I start to read it I feel better , honestly . Just that connection to God , hearing His voice , being reminded of His love and how He takes such kind care of me , as He does u ❤️ . Or , I might think on the last time I am sure that He directly intervened in my life , something good that happened that could only have come from Him , those things really calm and cheer me pretty quickly . I'm sure u have some good memories of times that u know He helped u , think on them , remember how He showed u how much He cares for and loves u . He is always with us , every second , it's just that sometimes this world suck us in , ties us in a knot and then spits us out feeling dirty and foolish . God is still there , waiting to dust us off and set us back on our feet , with our hand in Jesus's we can get back on the right path ❤️ . Dive into the living Word , It will bring u back into the light 😜 .

Thank you @Rosemaryx

My friend ended up sending me a worship album that I’ve been listening to and it’s helped tremendously.

My fiance and I have been spending a lot of time together and I think I just needed some me time, to spend worshipping God.

Now I feel great but still afraid that I might not have had enough time with God, so I continue to listen to this worship music for now.

You’re so smart @Suze , that is exactly what I’m going through.

I listened to worship music all night and am still listening to it and feel a lot better but yes, I gotta get in the word in the mornings.

Thank you for being an “army of angels.”

If you are not choosing your thoughts, then they do not originate with you. Evil spirits have access to the mind. They won't tell you that its them injecting thoughts. They speak in the first person. Someone I know had thoughts of suicide flash into their mind. They also had the thought that they were going insane. It was absolutely a lie. They resisted and drove the evil spirits out of their mind. It took a little while, but now they are totally free.

I will pray for you. I know what it is like myself.

I ended up reading a little bit of Proverbs this morning and that seemed to help a little.

I think I’ll probably continue listening to the worship music I was listening to while I was sleeping for now an of course, watch this mornings sermon.
 
I pray for your mental health. I've been physically sick for the past 12 day and it's also taken a toll on my mental health.
It' also stressing me out because I haven't been able to work and make any money. Sometimes I feel like there is a spirit of laziness or tiredness hovering over me.

I pray that your sickness goes away my friend, in jesus name I pray amen.
Living in California myself, I’m right there with you, when it comes to the financial stress. I sense a spirit of laziness and tiredness myself, you’re not alone.

I’ve been tanning for 15 minutes in the backyard every day around noon. It’s helped boost my overall mood, along with lifting weights every other day, doing upper body and lower body in the same day, while having a day in between to relax.

Been working out every other day since the beginning of December and my overall health has benefited dramatically.

One of my favorite teachers just sent me this yesterday.

Hope it's a Blessing.

I completely agree with this finding.

I actually don’t take any anti-depressants, haven’t since maybe August of 2024. I noticed that when I got off of anti-depressants, my depressive symptoms went away.

I was on venlafaxine since 2015…my libido came back and I started dating again.

I’m still on 8 drugs but today, I think my nurse practitioner is going to have me start weaning off of at least one and a total of possibly 4-6 out of the 8 by the end of the year (I think).

I’ll keep you guys posted cause I know of so many people who hate having to take these prescriptions, what there are better, natural alternatives.
