ty heather I know somethings are out of my control and I'm responsible for my actions. how do you stop worrying about other people? example....my sister is bed ridden or a friend in a depression? When you start to worry, pray. I have found that helps. I pray for strength and peace. how do others not have the "problems" creeping back into their heads? They do creep back, we're human, we will try to take back our problems, but when you notice yourself doing that, pray and give it back to God. |

that makes sense totage. ty for that. I do try (even more now) to pray for peace and strength over what I am having a problem with. I don't want to end up where I was 3 yrs ago when I was still angry

I think this is the one forum I can be comfortable with about beliefs. It was a great idea to have separate ones as well as a general one

if someone you care about is in a deep depression and has always been able to come to you in the past for help (and you have comforted them and not judged)...is it wrong to ask God to not only give him strength and peace but to also reach his hand out for help? is that a wrong prayer?

Thank you sir!! I hope the OP got a little clarity. I know I always feel better knowing I'm not the only one in any given situation. Gives me hope that I'm sort of normal anyhow.....

Not all all... We are to pray for others AND ourselves also...

I guess I think I might be selfish praying for that because I know he wasn't brought up to believe in prayer and other people that he has reached out to (even his own parents) have pushed him away or made him feel bad. I feel, for him, that I can help him through this and maybe teach him what i have learned so that's not a selfish prayer? |

I believe The LORD smiles on people who Pray for others like that... (We are even supposed to Pray for those who 'use us spitefully')

do you know how releaved I am to hear that. From how I was brought up....God doesn't answer selfish prayers. there maybe other reasons behind this prayer...which I'm not sure are selfish either, but I am deeply worried about him
he is the main reason for this thread. locically i know he has to go down his own path...but emotionally it kills me that i can't do anything. i feel very helpless. I pray anytime I feel this way and try to understand that it's in God's hands. there is still a part in me that wants a sign or something to let me know I am being heard. i don't know....it's just a very hard time for me. i try to keep busy and pray to get my mind off of things |

Have faith that God hears your prayers and is taking care of it. Perhaps God has a bigger plan in store? |

ty totage. so God doesn't let you know that what exactly you prayed for isn't going to happen that way? or do you just keep hope it does??? I am very confused on this
