I just need prayer. I struggle with bipolar and chronic migraines and when I'm depressed or in horrific pain, I've gotten into the terrible habit of turning to porn to give me some relief through the endorphin rush. I know I need to turn to the Lord; it's just so hard in those moments where I'm weak and not thinking clearly. But I also know Jesus suffered far more pain than I could ever imagine while dying for my sins. So, I've GOT to be stronger in Him. I'm just asking for prayer for strength and for healing for my migraines and bipolar. Thank you so much and please let me know how I can pray for you. P.S. Special shout out to those suffering from mental illness or a chronic pain. God loves you. Keep up the good fight.
Wow that is a very difficult situation you're in. I pray for you to live a life free from pain. It's evident to me that The Holy Spirit is at work in your life, standing you up despite incredibly difficult circumstances.
As you know, PMO will offer some temporary relief, but that relief comes at a very high price. You will never find lasting rest and enduring peace there. It cannot offer these things, for its power originates from their very opposite. It is very hard in the moment of pain to choose a superior (but seemingly slower!) medicine. But the truth is that P is poison, and there is no real cure to be found there. May God relieve you of pain as you find his peace increasing in both your mind and your heart.
Sorry to be repetitive. I posted these verses on another thread a few minutes ago but they seem so appropriate for the very difficult things you are wrestling with. Romans 5:1-5 (New American Bible) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace 2 with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,2 through whom we have gained access (by faith) to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.3Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance,4and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us. May our Lord strengthen you in your suffering and may you find medical and spiritual help for you struggle. I am praying for you, please pray for me too.
Wow. Exactly what I needed to hear. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for the prayers. Praying for you as well
