If you are a new member, we would love to hear from you. Just a quick note, letting us know who you are, where your from, your interests, what brought you here, or anything else you would like to talk about.

It's not a necessary step, but I believe that it will become a feature that our prayer warriors really enjoy, and will help you to meet our members much easier.

I am a 45 year old divorcee and I am just drifting through life hoping and praying for better days. I used to be real depressed but I overcame by the blood of the Lamb. God really did help me out with depression. I just like to talk to other chrisitians sometimes who are really trying to keep it real

Jen ,

I do understand , truly understand .
Divorce , can be a living hell for a believer. How can so much pain , heartache , missunderstanding and sinfulness , be available in Satan's arsenal at one time.
Depression is a result of fighting off Satan's attack. One becomes weary of the battle , tired of the fight . We feel adrift in a sea of hoplesness.

We may even begin to question the Lord , in our heart and mind .

If you know the Lord ,you must also know now and then he may want you to take a walk in the wilderness . He may seem as if He is pushing you away . He wants you to fight back Jen . Fight Back Hard .

Dear Honor Him: I want to thank you for your words of encouragment on being Divorced. Yes, Divorce is an ugly experience and no matter how bad the marriage is the separation still brings pain.

We also must focus on what part did we play in the separation/divorce. For one thing, I married out of the will of God and I am blessed to be alive and still in my right mind. Because one thing that I learned out of this marriage is that when God said don't be unequally yoked that is exactly what he means! So now I am going to wait on the Lord and if he choses not to send me another mate believe me I am not worried about be united with anyone but the Lord.

I do understand how the spirit of doubt can creep up on your life like a stalker in the midnight hour seizeing your mind and rendering you almost faithfulless. Sometimes, I really want to give up but I cannot give up because I gave once about 8 years ago and all that did was led me to the point of a suicide attempt on my life. I was extremely depressed in the church for 10 years and did not know why I was having so many attacks on my life. I had began to believe that the Lord did not love me and he had no use for someone like me. So I threw in the towel and completely gave up and went back to the world only to be led to slaughter by my own hands.

Today, no matter what is going on I find something to thank the Lord for because I know it can be worst. We really need to learn how to focus on the Lord and let the Lord become our all and all. The Lord will make away out of no way and he is the the bright and morning star. We just have to keep telling ourselves over and over the Lord said he will never leave me nor forsake me. Although sometimes it is hard to trust a God whom you have not never seen, cant't feel, or touch, but that is where faith steps in and we have do like David encourage ourselves in the Lord. I used to be so angry and I was angry at the Lord because he did not make my life easier. Well I made it through the storm and the Lord did not make my life no easier. I have had so many experiences until it is unreal and the Lord let me know that my life was not going to be an easy one. Sometime I don't understand why! I guess I will never understand why? So here I am 45 years old divorced working through temp agencies living from paycheck to paycheck. Bearly making enough to survive on and still trying to return a faithful tithe but I know without a shadow of doubt that God will make a way. I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor yet his seed begging for bread. I do believe that when I get down to my last piece of food in my house God will somehow provide some more food because he is Jehovah-Jireh GOD WILL PROVIDE! Thank you so much for talking with me because we as Christians need to learn how to love our fellow christian no matter what the situation .
