Merry Christmas, I hope Christ may bless and show his love unto all who read this.

I think I might be talking to an abyss or a black hole at times, but I will attempt to be brief. I have been experiencing a deep crisis of meaning, along with symptoms of what I am often tempted to describe as mental illness or demonic degeneration. I get horrible thoughts all the time, and I have a hard time finding the will and energy to do something out of my life. I have brought much distress to my family, and in order to "compromise" and be "reasonable", I have accepted counseling and taking psychotropic drugs. I feel conflicted and kinda horrible, I do not want to be taking medication, but I also don't want to keep disappointing everyone around me and feeling horrible (I think I still do this in spite of medication). I just feel at a loss as to what the best course of action is, and I desperately wish to know God's will for my life, that I may be free from these thoughts and feelings and that I may rise up to the challenges of life. I also ask that my family be healed and find God's truth, and that I may love them as I have neglected to do so all this time.

Thanks and God bless

Mario your post touches me...I pray for you in the name of Jesus.. But also in the name of the babes and Sucklings the Israel of God which are the Children of Promise...The Very kingdom of God...She brought forth a man child that is gonna rule all nations...Thats y Satan wants to destroy these children... Rev 12:5 kjv...They are the passage of the coming of the Kingdom...As the Kingdom cannot come till we birth these Children.

.....Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in.

.....Plz note the Kingdom OF GOD does not come till the woman births the manchild...Which are the Children of PROMISE...That are gonna be born in us that receive his words his seeds...I know you think that i am crazy but plz trust me Mario...

.....Jesus said outa of the mouths of Babes and Sucklings thou has Perfected PRAISE...And thatS what God wants is perfect Praise...And thats how i know this prayer will be answered...soon...

.....When they argued amongst them selves which of them were the greatest...Jesus set a Child in their midst...Which is just symbolic of the Kingdom of God that is gona be with in us..ok lemme go....I'm talking and praying for you from my heart Mario. GBU

Mario, I too have been struggling with very similar issues. Please know that you are not alone and that there are those, like me, that are experiencing spiritual oppression and under the influence of evil spirits. Praying for deliverance every day of my life. Sometimes, I wonder why God would allow this to happen to me. I am no good to anyone and cannot be a productive member of society with these thoughts, feelings, and emotional pain. I am my own worst enemy. I unconsciously sabotage the good things in my life. I have lost my faith at times and constantly struggle with unbelief and doubt. I don't know if these words will help you, but there are times I wish someone would tell me the same. I've isolated myself because I cannot face others who in some way remind me of my failures, who have joy and love in their lives, and make me feel subhuman. Most of the time, that is everyone. I realize I am not a victim, and all of my problems are a result of my shortcomings. Praying sometimes feels pointless. But HOPE is the only thing that keeps me going, so I cling to the promises of Jesus. I will pray for you and ask that that you do the same for me. It helps to know that others have you in their prayers. God bless you and keep you.

I too have struggled with feelings of inadequacy and isolation . I have come to realise that it really does not matter what any one thinks or believes about me . The only thing that matters to me is that my God and my Saviour love me . They love you too . They know all about you , all of your faults and failings and they adore you . You are a shining jewel to them . This is what gets me out of bed every day with a smile on my face , knowing that the ones who really do know me , love me . I have been and probably still are sometimes my own worst enemy . I've messed up and missed out on so many things because of my own lack of confidence and ambition . God alone has preserved my life and sanity . Be assured , you are most precious to your God , stick with Him and you will know overwhelming love and an absence of fear of the things that this world throws at you . You are beloved by Him . He is yours and you belong to Him and He loves you as you are . The things of this world will be gone in the blink of an eye , but you will live forever with Him . You have an awesome future , those who know not God ? Job chapter 4 verse 8+9 . Psalm 9 verses 8-10 .

Dear Mario, Have you taken Jesus as your personal savior?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Paul and Silas's jailer asked them in ACTS 16:30 ..."Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Their answer was as simple as this in ACTS 16:31 ..."Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..." Simple as that.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.-- Romans 10:9-13.

If you have been saved, dig deeper into God. Study His Word, pray without ceasing, serve others, continue to take your medication, and have faith. No force on earth or hell can keep you from God.

ROMANS 8:34-35, 38-39 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Dear God, Father in Heaven, You know about us all, and we thank You for all things. We love Your society and want to purify ourselves every day. We ask for strength to do so, let it happen that we constantly and never lose heart in what is good in life. Thank You for never leaving anyone alone who calls out Your Holy Name Jesus Christ. Sickness must go it is not allowed in Your children in Jesus Christ name! We cast all sickness into the darkest darkness, there it may wander, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
