emmer,
Hi, I'll pray for you too. I think a doctor visit is a good idea- take good care of yourself k? I hope you are feeling better soon.

You said you were thinking alot about the job situation.
If stressed because of that...Know that Jesus is in full control.
Still may be a good idea to check with a Dr any time we don't feel right.
Prayers are always there for you every time that the Holy Spirit brings you to my thoughts.

Thank-you all sooo much. i have been sleeping a lot today. i just don't understand all the shaking. sure i'm stressed out but...i don't know.
I do feel a bit better now that i'm awake. maybe it is all stress related. maybe i have too much on my plate.
None the less thank-you again very much for praying.

I'll be up front beacuse nothing seems to get straightend out in addiction or in life in general without honesty. Although i have done good not using in the last seven or more months i have not been going to church. in fact i hav not been to church in a very long time ( maybe 10 years) i am backsliden. it's hard to pray.

If it would be easier... just type it out. No need to hit the send button, the Lord will see it as you type.
Praying is sitting down and having a heart to heart talk with God.
When Jesus gave the apostle's prayer... "our" Father....
In that time in history to call God... Dad would have been seen as a sign of disrespect by the leaders of the day. What Jesus was telling us... He is our friend...Lets sit and have a chat...No fancy words needed..Just you and me (Him and You).

You are in my prayers. You are not walking alone. Never do uyou have to walk alone.
thank you for posting.
Asking for help and for prayers is not easy...and it is foreighn to many of us...I am grateful my sponsor taught me early on the importance of tqaking care of our health is away of learning to love ourselves.

Plese let us know how you are doing and progressing.

emmer,
He has never left you...but instead has all this time been waiting for you to spend some time with Him and rekindle a relationship between the two of you. He loves us knowing full well who we really are, with our sin and failures. In Isaiah 1:18 the Lord invites us to communicate with Himself: "Come let us reason together, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."
hugs,
cmc

We will pray for you Joe.

Sharing my experience, strength and hope, I can say at 60 years old I take several vitamins. 1000 Mg C, B-150 complex, fish oil, Co Q 10, E, Saw Palmetto, Licthin, Folic acid, Bilberry, and 3000Mg of garlic every day.

B vitamins are very important.

Seeing a Doc ain't too shabby of an idea. We all need a checkup from time to time, and most of us don't like to go see the Doc, we've always self-medicated.

Being a guitar player you ought to check out the music in many of the churches today. I have heard some truly annointed guitar licks by people praising God on their instruments. Many of these churches aren't like the churches our grandparents took us to. Nothing wrong with the traditional worship services, it's just that I find many of the praise and worship services to be awesome. In many traditional hymn we sang about God and what God has done for us. In many praise and worship songs we sing directly to God giving thanks and praising God for deliverance..........I love you my friend...............toad

Prayers ago ut for all and for everyone they love.
Watching the news, reading a newspaper we see we are at war with ourselves..we are at war with others on a daily basis...sister to sister-- brother to brother- brother to sister-- father to son-- daughter to mother-- state to state-- country to country and the list goes on and on and on...

I pray for peace...Peace of mind & of heart.

I'm so sick of shaking and feeling sick to my stomach. It's nothing but stress. It's no point in going to the doctor about stress - because there is no way on earth any doc in my town will give me anything for stress- I would just abuse it anyhow.
any prayers would be appreciated............... Joe

Joe, can you go for a walk or maybe a bike ride or workout? ... exercise is a good way to relieve stress and make you feel better. Praying for you.

Also, if you ask the Lord for forgiveness of your sin's, he will hear your prayers. Spending time in prayer with the Lord will fill you with peace inside. You don't have to be in church for your prayers to be heard. Start with the prayers and the Lord will lead you to a church.
