Hi! again brothers and sisters around the world please pray for my heart to be soften through all of this. That God will help me through this as well. Also for my depression that I have and that I will go to God first for everything that is going on in my life and in my heart. Pray that I will let God do his will through me and not the other way around. I have so many challenges that I don't deal with like I should with God first. Pray that I will do that please. Thanks

Patty, I too suffer from depression, being brought on by chronic pain and other issues over the past six years.  but the first thig -after turnign to God - is being aware of the problem.  that is a huge step, one that i didn't realize was as great as it was until someone else noticedit.  The second great step is being humble enough to seek professional help with this.  I feel this is one of those instances where God wants us to help ourselves as well.  Do you know hte story of the rowboat, canoe, and helicopter?  Remind me to tell you sometime...it's about God sendinghelp but not the way it is expected.  You arein my prayers.  Love, Bev.
