I'm sorry I've been away for a week or so - I've plunged into a very deep depression due to all that is happening to me and have been experiencing some of the most severe sleep problems I've ever had (and I've got two sleep disorders) - I've got extreme insomnia and am awake all night long - even with the meds my doctors have prescribed. Then, I sleep very, very late (i.e, most of the day) and nothing can wake me up - even when people try to call me a dozen times or more.
I've been getting a bit more connected at church and they're trying to find some groups for me to get involved in and they're also steering me towards someone who can, hopefully, help guide me through my financial horrors.
I'm also extremely tense and anxious (again, even with the meds) - far more than I've been in a very long time.
Right now, I need prayer for some relief, healing, wisdom, good quality sleep (at normal hours), etc. I also need some very strong prayer that I will be able to obtain some important legal assistance for one of my ongoing nightmares.
I keep reading a Bible verse that a good person referred me to several years ago,
Quote:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jerimiah 29:11
This is the verse that keeps me going. Oh, Dear Lord, I pray for some hope and a future that is not filled with angst - my body feels like its going to explode most of the time.
I will try to start praying for others again soon - at the moment, I'm simply too exhausted. Thanks in advance for your prayers and God Bless each of you.

Lord, I pray in agreement with all of the prayers and ask that you allow him to rest in You that he may sleep, according to your word. Psalm 3:3-6. But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory and the lifter up of mine head. I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down amd slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.

Dear Lord, Please bless Friend of God, Brenda Magana, ninababy73, Beverlyjoy, and all others who have been, and continue to pray for me. Thank you, Lord, for bringing me to this board in order to ask for prayer from others. Also, thank you Lord for the verses they have provided as I will look up each of these in order to help keep going.
Earlier this evening, I went to church and also got prayer from one of our elders. He is also praying for me and asked for God for a miracle, if that is in His will. My situation is so bleak and those that know me don't known how I can keep going at all. The elder today told me that many people would have given up long ago but I told him that the only thing that is keeping me going is that You, dear Lord, are there - even when I can't hear You or understand Your plans.
Today during church, Matthew 28:20(b) was mentioned:
Quote:
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
My sleep has not yet improved and the medications my doctors have been giving me don't work (especially those for sleep and anxiety) and cannot be increased. I learned yesterday that one of my horrible legal messes is going before the evil judge on Tuesday and, based upon what happens there, I could be forced into bankruptcy. My children are doing horrible in school and I have just learned that my middle child is now ditching her classes. Because of the custody situation, I am helpless to do anything about it.
My church is also trying to find someone to help guide me through this financial nightmare and get me connected with others in a small group. My doctor, who also attends the same church and is a good Christian man, is also very concerned about me and I thank you, Lord, for the encouragement from him.
I'm sorry, Lord, that I have not been praying for others on this board but I know that You understand they are in my heart. I pray for your protection on Tuesday and that you help me find some peace. I surrender all I have left to You, Lord. Please help me.

Dear Moderators,
I just realized that I posted this in the wrong forum, I meant for it to be placed in the
Prayer for when You need a breakthrough
forum. I'm afraid I'm not thinking too clearly and just realized I made this mistake. If possible, could you move this thread there? Thank you and may God bless you.
