January 30, 2017 at 5:44 pmThe oppression I am under is making it virtually impossible to get out of bed 90% of my day. I watch a lot of online Christian church services from numerous speakers, a lot of God’s anointed prophet’s, hoping for something to penetrate this heavy oppression and lift it off of me so I can live life again. I have never really experienced the joy of the Lord.
I have been on a sabbatical for over three years now, which initially was only supposed to last three months. I spent my life in the ministry working with couples and individuals. I burned myself out and have never recuperated. I am lost. Food is my Idol. I am a hard-core sugar addict!
I have three children of which none are serving the Lord. My oldest son Who is 36 years old now was conceived through sexual assault and has not spoken to us for the last 4 1/2 years. He struggles with heroin, crack cocaine & alcohol as he attempts to parent five of his six children. He is a man filled with rage!
I have a grown very weary of praying and not seeing anything…so I don’t pray anymore. I know my life is very displeasing to the Lord, but I feel stuck. I know I need to go for counseling myself, but I don’t want to waste money If it’s not going to help. Need wisdom and breakthrough!!!
Thank you for caring. I have only started listening to DAB the first week of January …

January 31, 2017 at 2:08 am“They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings as eagles. They will walk and not be weary, they will run and not faint.” I pray the Lord will help you and heal you, I pray that he will make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. He is faithful! Have you heard of Celebrate Recovery? It is an addiction support group based on the saving grace of our LORD. Check it out… it doesn’t cost anything except the time it takes to be there. The Lord has used CR in my life. It is an amazing program. See if there is a group that meets near you! http://www.celebraterecovery.com/

January 31, 2017 at 9:41 amGod has written you on the palm of his hand never to be forgotten. You are his precious and loved son. I will pray that you gain a sense of purpose back, that you hide now in the shadow of his wings and move with him. That in this year he will heal you and strengthen you. Never give up.
I will pray also for your family that God’s warrior angels would intervene.

February 1, 2017 at 1:44 pmI am praying for you that God will remove the urge to want to eat all the time as you said food is now your idol -This is never God’s plan for anyone’s life. This same idol has destroyed many people and we do not want it to destroy you. I pray that nothing will come ahead of God in your life .
I ask that God will give you strength to get out of bed and that you will . Please take a step of faith and purpose to pray to God, seek him while he is still near. Do not believe the lies of the enemy because they only lead to destruction. The enemy of our soul is roaming all over the world destroying families so we as believers already know this and have to do everything in our power to stop it , and this starts with PRAYER , so I ask that you pray no matter how hard it seems.
Lord please provide this entire family with a break through. Destroy all the strongholds of the enemy over this family. Set the captives free and help them to seek you while there is still time.
Thank you Jesus.

February 3, 2017 at 12:15 pmI was where you are. Please see a psychiatrist and/or therapist. I did not seek help for a very long time because I thought prayer should be enough and did not understand why God wasn’t healing me. I was blessed to find a psychiatrist and therapist who are both Christians and that has been crucial in my progression toward well-being. They pointed out something very important to me: sometimes God uses medicine to heal us. We would not tell a diabetic or asthmatic person not to use their meds, so why should it be different for mental health? Mental illness is not always about spiritual oppression, there are chemicals in our brains that sometimes get out of whack. For me, I will be on meds the rest of my life as I struggle with bipolar disorder, but others are often on meds temporarily until they are able to get back on track. Again, PLEASE seek professional help. I will be praying for you.

April 22, 2017 at 4:37 amMy prayers are with you, right now, that you would experience the peace of Christ in your heart.
Father, You always want our best, and give us the Holy Spirit to bring us into the truth of what that is. You promise victory over areas that are seemingly impossible, for in You we will find victory. God, I pray that You would direct this man’s attention to taking the first step in asking You what he has to be grateful for – what ever that may be, Lord, I pray that You would bless him in that place of thankfulness, and that You would bring in to his mind songs of joy, Your promises, a memory of a precious time that would remind him how precious e is to You. And, Lord, bring the right people into his life. Thank You for never leaving him at this time. I praise You for calling those things that are not as though they are, Lord, restoring his faith, lifting his spirits, lifting his chin to see You is my prayer in Jesus name, amen.
Take one moment at a time, my friend. Spend a little time in the word yourself – Psalms 3:3 comes to mind, and just let God minister to you through this verse. Turn the TV off, find some uplifting music, soothing music, that will lift your thoughts.

April 22, 2017 at 6:34 amFather, thank you for this person and their willingness to share what’s going on. Bondage, oppression, depression and addiction be broken in Jesus’ Name. Jesus, name above all names. Thank you for interceding for us. Holy Spirit speak to their heart. Renew their mind. Whom the Son sets free is free indeed! May Your Word nurture, nourish and comfort them. May praises come from their lips. May all the chains in this family be broken. Jesus you paid the price, you won the victory…may they all walk in it by your power! May they share their testimonies of what you have done in their lives. Receive all glory, honor and praise. I ask in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Praying for you. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Confess it. Believe it. Act on it. You are dead to sin and the things that would try to enslave you. You have new life in Jesus Christ. Walk in newness of life. Gods plans for you are good. Walk in the light as he is in the light. You are a new creation. Lifting you up in prayer.

April 25, 2017 at 5:25 amJust wanted to say when I didnt feel able to pray because of what was happening in my life I still was able to listen to and slowly join in worship. Find new songs, I just found a new band (not new for many i am sure) called I AM THEY – joyful music and would really recommend. Remember lazaras, all the people had to do in the hopeless situation was role back the stone and God did the impossible. So do the little you are able even if it is to commit to listening to DAB, then look and see your mighty God is at work!
God bless you. Amen.SheilaTPrayers: 2920Requests: 24

April 26, 2017 at 2:24 pmI want to assure you even in the midst of hopeless there is hope. The hope you have is in the person of Jesus. What preachers or prophets are listening too? Beware of many false prophets. Look to Jesus and His holy word. God has given us wise counselors to help. Satan is whispering a lie if you think they cannot help. Seek out a counselor that is strong in biblical understanding. Also go to your medical physician to see if some medication can help. It has helped me. Since my retirement from ministry due to health I became depressed. You need to rise from that bed with the help of God to live again. Lose your life to find it. Begin to take responsibility for your life. I know Satan is out to kill and destroy, Sometimes we give him to much credit. God loves and wants you live life to the full. Rise and begin to take the necessary steps of faith to bring healing and wholeness to you life. I ma so sorry about what happened in you life. You do not have to be a victim. I will be praying for your son and a renewal of relationship. Google Teen Challenge a biblical based recovery program for addicts. They do work with adults. It is a long term residential program. Know that I am praying for you. Have you talked with you pastor about counseling? I can name some of the false prophets and teachers.

April 26, 2017 at 6:23 pmFriend, please know the Lord is with you right now, even if you don’t “feel,” it right where you are, in this moment, know it; I hope that makes sense. I’m so sorry, so sorry and sad for your troubles…know that,” He will rescue you from the fowler’s snare.” I and so many beautiful and amazing brothers and sisters are joining voices, hearts and spirits to carry your burdens to the Lord. They have been praying for me and I know will continue and now, I join my spirit and pray for you. The weight of this world can get so heavy and we pray and pray and don’t see anything change around us, right? (I wrote in a similar prayer request just a few days ago; praying for the same people and same bad situations for 15+ years and nothing/no one seems to change)
But give yourself credit for this; you took this step and shared your burden and now the change is happening within you. Again, I want to encourage you to believe it is happening, even in the moments that you don’t feel it; that said, there will be moments when you DO feel it. I felt the presence of God when I read the responses to my request. I felt His love through our family in Christ.
You are SO loved by God and any follower of Christ who sees or hears your request, your plea, will be faithful and joyfully take your cries to the Lord. Please as an act of faith, go outside today…take one more step of faith and I’ll believe with you that God will give you a glimpse of something new; a spark of hope to thrust you forward to the next step.
You are loved by the God who created you.
Also, please don’t give up on counseling; I totally get what you’re saying; I had a period wherein I was just sick of trying…but it is soooo necessary and helpful so I encourage you not to give up on this…it takes time but we have to commit to the “process” as it is a journey. Another resource I find very helpful is Al-anon…what a blessing this group is and I believe can be to you…in fact, I bet you’ll become a major blessing to others in that group. The wonderful thing about Al-anon is that most of the people there are open already to surrendering to a “Higher power” and when you’re ready, you’ll be able to introduce them to yours! Many blessings to you -
