The posts are back...

Wow. This has been quite a hiatus. I meant to only stop the posts for the holidays but once the holidays were over it seemed like I could never get started back up. Truthfully, some of it was because of depression. I got depressed and wallowed in it instead of picking myself up with the power that He gave me. Sometimes we get in a pit and stay there. Can I get an Amen?

So, if you have been feeling that way too, it's time to get up and to fight (spiritually) and to take the focus off ourselves and remember why we are here. So, today I would like to pray for those who are depressed.

I pray that you are continually reminded of the love of God. I pray that His joy is in your heart. I pray that you have the strength to get up and fight with the tools He has provided. Seek Him. Learn Him through his Word and let His light shine through you! I pray for those who are severely depressed. Lord, I ask that you bring someone in their path to minister to them and to show them a way out (life with You). Touch them with your unfailing love and remind them of your grace.

Depression is very real and something I have struggled with pretty much all of my life. Honestly it takes a lot for me to admit that to a group but I believe if it can help just one person, then Praise God!

In December we concentrated on praying for our husbands. For the next few weeks I want to take this time to pray for us as wives and/or mothers. And ultimately that will help our husbands! ha! ha! God Bless!
