Hopelessness

January 4, 2015
| 3 Comments
| hopelessness, waiting

Hopelessness simply comes from a lack of faith. I know that people will want to fight me on this, but I am speaking scripturally. Faith is the substance of (the floor upon which stands) things hoped for. If you don’t believe that God exists and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek […]

HOLD ON! Help is on the way!

| faith, hope, hopelessness

There are no hopeless situations; there are only people who have grown hopeless about them. Clare Boothe Luce Matt 19:26 “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” A number of years ago researchers performed an experiment to see the effect hope has on those undergoing hardship. Two sets of laboratory […]

Laying Down Your Life Instead Of Laying Down And Dying

| exhaustion, hopelessness, rest

Jn 13:38 38 Jesus replied, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Oswald Chambers says that dying is easier than continually laying down our lives. Maybe that is why sometimes we wish we could die when we are depressed – we just don’t want to keep working at this life. But what does He […]

Gal 5:22-26 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 gentleness, self- control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, we must also […]

What’s The Use?

| Christian Women With Depression, Depression, discouragement, failure, fear, Featured Post, hopelessness

“What’s the use?” We’ve all had those days when we ask that rhetorical question of ourselves in the throes of despair. Sometimes the thought occurs when we wake up in the morning and cannot find a an enjoyable reason to get out of bed. At other times, it is said after yet another disappointment. Most […]

I want to throw something out at you, and see if it sticks. Do you really believe God is good? I mean, He actively loves you, cares for you, wants to provide for you, and has a positive future and plan for you?  I have a feeling, if you are depressed, that you don’t – […]

Sometimes we have to take drastic measures.  Sometimes we have let the enemy have such free access to our minds and our lives that we have forgotten how to block him out so we can focus and hear the voice of God.  Once, during a church service, while I was waiting for prayer, I heard […]

My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less…

February 7, 2011

| anxiety, Christian Women With Depression, fear, Featured Post, hope, hopelessness, panic, peace, worry

I have been building my hope on lesser things instead of on Jesus’ blood and His righteousness (as the hymn lyrics go).  That’s why I have been experiencing panic attacks of late, and irrational and illogical thought patterns.  In the midst of this 40 day fast I’ve been on, God has been very faithful to […]
