Dear Sister Laura,
You seem to be the victim of spiritual attack. The lies the evil one can tell, well, he’s cunning and is easy to rationalize thoughts until they begin to SEEM like the truth. The thing to remember is that you are Very important in the Kingdom of God. Hence the attack. God has something for you to do with Him. I believe this with all my heart. He will Never leave you or forsake you.
Do you have clergy with whom you could talk about these fears and thoughts that are coming between you and your faith? If you do have a pastor, church elder or even a good friend who is strong in The Lord, please make a time to share this. I think, talking one on one with a Godly person, grounded in the word, will reassure you and dispel the anxiety and hopelessness that is separating you from the Peace of God and causing your depression. I’m glad you shared here, and I’ll be praying for you. Please, talk to someone about this in person. Get some help to see these kids for what they are, untangle them, and once free…run straight into the arms of The Savior! He’s as close as your very breath. Much love, Sister

Lord we pray for Laura and ask that you restore her heart and mind to the full forgiveness of your love. Encourage her Lord with your word and surround her with Godly people that will mentor and council her to your goodness. Bring her peace and tranquillity knowing you love her and are the keeper of her soul In the loving name of Jesus we pray.

Dear Laura: I was deeply moved to read your prayer request. I’ve been going through something similar in my life. I truly hope you can move on from your feeling of depression and hopeless. Keep praying my sister and I’ll pray for you. Heavenly Father: Please help Laura through her period of doubt. It is definitely hard to beat and she needs you now Lord. I believe many other people in the world are also filled with doubt and unbelief. Please God help Laura and the other people in the world overcome this doubt and unbelief. Heal our hearts Lord and help us beat this depression. I truly believe in miracles and the Kingdom of Heaven. Help us during these hard times in the world full of darkness. Fill the world with light God. Please God. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Laura, you are God’s beloved child. He is good, kind, loving, merciful and understands you more than you understand yourself. Stand on His promises. Don’t let yourself be deceived. Don’t deceive yourself. God is for you! That is good news! If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. His Spirit lives inside you. He is working to transform you into the image of Christ. Enjoy Him. Receive His love. Your sins are forgiven and He remembers them NO MORE. Take every thought captive. Reject any thoughts that condemn you, bring fear, depression or darkness. Walk with Him in the light. Today is the day- do it and don’t look back. He has good plans for you. He will provide for your every need. Rest in Him. Rejoice in Him! Surround yourself with praise, worship, His Word and other believers who are walking with Him. Be encouraged sister. Today is a new day. Right here and right now by the power of His Holy Spirit at work in you. You are dearly loved. Your hope and future for all eternity are secure in Him. He has given you a new heart- believe it! You are part of His family, this family. Fear not- just believe. He tells you He loves you. He is with you and will never leave you. Share the good news! Rejoice in it so that others will see Jesus in you. Shine! You are a light on a hill pointing the way to Jesus. He is the way, the Truth, the life! The days are short. He is coming back soon! Jesus, speak to Laura and let her hear You, recognize Your voice and not follower any other. Thank You for answering prayer! I pray all this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Awesome news!! So happy to hear it. Yes, that enemy really tries to trip people up, twist the truth and pull people away from Christ and the power of the cross…His sacrifice once for all. VICTORY!!! Satan’s defeat. Let’s boast in Jesus Christ and the cross like this: But for me, may it be never to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world.” YES! It is well with your soul, dear one. Rest in it. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Perfect love casts out fear. Fear not. God is with you and will never leave you. Share the good news. Let His love overwhelm you. Don’t focus on earning anything would be my advice to you. Jesus paid it all because He loves You and because He is good. Just receive His love and let Him transform You into His image for your good and His glory. Let him shine in you for all the world to see. Marvel at his wonder. Keep your eyes on him and not on yourself. Sounds like You’re on the right path. Whom the Son sets free is free INDEED!! That’s you! That’s me! Believe it!! Receive it! We are free! His grace IS enough! YES! Father, thank You for this good news! Keep encouraging this person in Your Word and by Your great love! I ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Dear Lord Jesus,
Please bless sister Laura this year. Please let her know how loved she is, how unchanging you are and let her rest in you for all her needs, may she laugh at what you do because it is your good pleasure to give wonderful gifts. Thank you Lord for you faithful love that never fails. Amen

Paul says to examine yourself, whether you be in the faith or not…we are also told to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling…this should be taken very seriously, as many warnings are given. God will not affirm your salvation if you do not posses it or if you are not walking in obedience. Seek God’s mercy…and read 1 John (as it will reveal the test of faith) Paul Washer also has a good message on assurance. Look into Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson. Some questions: Do you hate sin and can you continue in it? Do you desire holiness and purity? Do you fear God? Do you love (1 Cor. 13) the brethren? Do you get alone with God? AND do you continue to walk in repentance? The marks of a true follower of Christ will be good fruit, that of a new man, a new creation.

Unless a man be born again, he cannot receive the kingdom of God. Without you Lord, we fall apart. If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Without you, we can do nothing. A righteous man may fall seven times, but he gets back up. You Lord have an arm that is not short to save. For I AM, makes everything possible. Lord steady this believer’s way. You lead us in the way we should go for our benefit, and you speak today what we should do. Never will you leave us or forsake us, and when we doubt even ourselves. Lord your unfailing love for us is a reality. We draw lines for ourselves not to cross everyday, but your mercy endures forever. You Lord rejoice yourself, when even a prodigal son comes home after squandering his wealth . Our thoughts are not yours, and our ways are not yours, and just as the heavens are higher than the earth so are your ways higher than our ways and your thoughts higher than our thoughts. Lord we are the first to give up on ourselves, but not you. You say whoever loses their life for my sake, will find it, and he who seeks to save their life, will lose it.

Dear Sister,
I pray you know deeply that it is never too late with Jesus. I pray that you know each of us can never judge you, we are not the judge our Lord is and he is saying to you I love you. I pray you receive that love deeply. Watch for the enemies lies, he will try and get you to believe those lies. There is nothing wrong with recognising the feelings for what you do for whatever was done but repemeber we are asked to confess and repent after that KNOW that you are not condemned. Becareful not to condemn yourself, but be refreshed by the renewing of your mind in the scriptures. I pray you know this is what God is doing with you:
Ezekiel 36:25
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
I pray you receive his joy in abundance and know that his love covers all things. I pray you learn how to walk closely with him and share his love with others. I pray you receive his joy that is his to give. I pray that you can see hope and a future knowing God is with you and will build you up. It is his delight to do this for you.
Stay blessed. Your brother Andy in Christ.

Jesus said those who come to Him, we will not cast away. John 6:37 – Read it. Print it out. Post it around your house. It is God’s work. We are God’s work. He is doing His great work in you. Lord, I pray you would rebuke the lies of the enemy right now in Jesus name. I pray this believer would stop looking at themselves and look to you, your cross, your resurrection. I pray they would stop meditating on what they did, do, or don’t do, but would look to you, the author and finisher of our faith. I ask in Jesus name. Amen.

I love this song…
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
