I've been really focusing on praying this past week since I've been majority battling my depression, suicidal thought, self-injury urges, and eating disorder for awhile now. It's gotten pretty bad and now I'm asking everyone if anyone is interested in praying and reading His Word, The Bible with me. Now I'm not sure if everyone has a Bible, but they do have the Bible online at:
http://bible.com/
They have tons of versions on it. I love the King James Version. I was wondering if anyone is interested in reading in Psalms first and praying with me? Psalms have short chapters and I can find that little time to reading in that for awhile.
I'm hoping with others working together on this with me (my husband included) that we can fight and bet our struggles. Is anyone interested in doing this with me? Maybe we can do a group email Bible study of some sort? Let me know if you're interested.
... i'd be willing to... Sometimes i just feel the urge to turn to my Bible for some comfort? Maybe a reality check? I dunno, but it helps and i'm with u... I think it is a very good idea u propose here... to me nuttin feels cleaner than the word of God... Thanks
:) That's wonderful! Do you think it would be better doing this through email? Where we just get everyones email address and everyone can just pick up what we're doing for the day?
I just read Psalms 1. That's as much as I can do right now and my husband even suggested we just go over the first chapter for awhile and memorize it. I think it'd be good just going over the chapter throughout the day as our way of memorizing it or doing what we can.
And the other major part is prayer :) It seems to have been helping me. I've been running to the Lord begging Him to help me get through this this past week. So far, He's been working on me with everything :)
As a Christian and psychology professional and someone struggling in my recovery with ED, primary symptom being bulimia nervosa, I am with you in prayer. It is the answer, Jesus will lead u to the people He wants for u and I pray He has lead me to u and u to me, I am interested in anything u can offer in terms of bibilical studies as well as utilization of my psychology expertise. I pray u continued success in ur recovery. Remember we are human make mistakes, please email me at anytime. Hope to hear from u soon.
Hi colorfulgirl I would be intristed in joining u .. I to sometimes feel like praying when im thinking dumb things .. So let me know and I would b emore then happy to join u
That's great to hear that more people want to join in on this :) That's great! I think it would be great if maybe we can email each other? Maybe we can leave our email addresses down on here and we can send it out through email and talk about it as a group? Let me know :) My email address is [email protected]
I would love to join! Before i go to bed i like to think about all the wonderful things god has given us and pray. The only problem is my email doesnt let me send messages, only recieve. :( So sorry!
I want to pray with you also. I pray alot and it make me feel better. There was a time when I would get up very early and pray, it really did make a difference in my life. I got lost and stop focusing as much and I could feel the change and it was not for the better. Maybe we should pick and day of the week that is good for all of us and a time zone that we could remember and do it that way. we could each take turns picking a verse to shre. Example on Thursdays 7p.m. eastern time and on that day colorful will have something to share from the bible and we talk about what it means to us. The next week someone else will share and so on. I don't mean to be pushy but I am excited.
count me in! for the past few days i have been reading His Word more. (got away from it for a while, but a good friend got me back on the right track).
:) That's great that everyone wants to do this :) I guess we can post up on support groups "Bible Study for March 7 thru 13, 2011" as a post for that weeks topic since one can't do emails. How does everyone feel about this? I think it would be great to alternate people on sharing a scripture - discussion and prayer, so one isn't carrying all the load. We can all use ideas, comments, etc. on this. Please share how you feel about all this and we can work on it :) Hope we can get this up and going soon :) Take care!!
I think any time throughout the week would be good everyone. I can't do weekends (since my husband is home and I like spend time with him), but it would be a great discussion on here for everyone to join in throughout the week and talk about who ever is interested in joining :) How does everyone feel about this?
:) We can start next Monday if everyone like? Just wanted to find the best ways of doing this. Maybe we can all pray this week of how God wants us to do this and for Him to be the center of all this? Hope everyone is well. I'm hoping this helps me emotionally and with my depression and eating disorder...I know it will :)
I am new and have a eating disorder that I need prayer for. I have ask several people to pray for me and they just think I want to be vain or something. I even ask my mom and she said oh… just eat healthy. It is more than that. This is a spiritual battle and I will overcome!!! I thank you for prayer and desire to pray for yall as well.
God is the answer to all problems, sometimes he takes them away soon and sometimes he wants us to build spiritual muscles. I do need the strength to overcome.
you are so great for thinking of this...LOL..im sure this will help all of us ....
yes we should pray on this and come up with a day to study this... and i need to find my bible! now im getting worried, i mean how can i have lost my bible? i knew where it was , where it always is, and now it is nt there.ughhh ill go to bible.com and check it out
