[__ Prayer __] Please pray

AMEN!

Mayaggie.

Remember, sooner or later you are going to have to suffer these physical symptoms, now is your time. Just hang in there. Look up all the scripture references that Albert posted. They are all positive affirmations of God's power. Sing to God, I know I wrote it in another post somewhere, but it's not long ago God showed me this. I didn't realize how important praise and worship is. God just showed me not long ago that when we sing praises to Him it's not for His benefit, but for ours!

God doesn't need us to praise Him, he knows He is all powerful and perfect, but It positive affirmation of God's mighty power, and bolsters our faith.

This will help you get through those hard physical side affects. Remember even though it may feel like you are dieing, you aren't. Just think of it as a really, really, bad case of the flu, and your getting all those poisons out of your body.

Mayaggie, what are the physical symptoms you are suffering from? I know they vary from person to person, can you tell us so we can pray specifically for you.

Mayaggie, if you are suffering from hallucinations or your physical symptoms are severe, you should get help from a doctor or hospital. God can use them to help you through this.

Jesus is right there with you.

Love Kelli
 
mayaggie are you on your own, is there anyone to help you as you are going through these physical withdrawls? Which I would take would be the shakes which would make it very hard to do anything like cook a meal!
Mayaggie when it's at it's worst you don't need to praise/prayer to God with words keep your thoughts on Him and He will hear and help you. The rest of us will keep praying with words and thoughts as God will know your needs at that time.

Albert for your first post - blows me away. All those scripture verses done in such a way like it's a conversation is so helpful and makes them flow together. so many good scriptures just to read and think on when the going is tough (or any other time)
 
To be perfectly honest with you it is morphine that i am having withdrawals from.
I have been taking it for about 8 months.I have been trying to get off of it
for a while now.I have been cutting back 1/4 of a pill every other day.Even when i just cut
back the withdrawals starts.I am completely out now.
I am ok.The withdrawals have been a lot worse before.I promised the Lord that if would
help me get off of it and get thru the withdraws i would never take it again unless i am
in the hospital and the doctors give it to me.
I am on my on except for you guys and the Lord.My husband has been asking was
i ok.He thinks i stopped a long time ago.
I would not recommend anyone take morphine for pain.
I have taken all kinds of pain medicine and then just stopped with no problems.
I am going to go thru everyone's post and write down all the scriptures that
everyone posted and write each one out in a note book so i can read them everyday.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PRAYERS!

I am free in Christ Jesus,
and greater is He living in me, giving me power and strength to overcome all sin and disobedience. Yes, greater is He living in me, than any devil or temptation that is in the world.

Thank You Father, for not leaving me helpless in this world, but empowering me and setting me free.

In Jesus’ name! Amen.

THANK YOU!
 
Maymaggie, I have been praying for you, I have been looking up morphine withdrawal. I found out how long it typically lasts.

Morphine withdrawal symptoms reach peak intensity in 36 to 72 hours. Without treatment, withdrawal symptoms runs their course in 5 to 7 days
Click to expand...

You may have heart palpitations, and some severe symptoms. I think you are going to need to tell your husband. In about two days, you are going to be sick, unless Jesus delivers you from the symptoms. He may have you go through it, either way it's for your best, I promise. Trust Him to know what is best for you.

Is your husband saved? If yes, he has an obligation to you to help you through this. He made a vow in sickness and in health, and I know he would want to be there for you. I know you are afraid and I am afraid for you, but I think he will find out sooner or later anyway.

Of course you will need to take it to God in prayer.

We are still praying.

I am afraid.And the withdrawals will last along time.I have been having leg cramps,restlessness,
funny feeling in my legs and arms, and just very uncomfortable feeling.My husband is not saved.
Telling him would do no good.He wouldn't do or anything either way.
The worse part is that it may last along time.Thank you for praying.
 
maymaggie, don't fear because God is with you. Be sure to drink lots and lots of water. I have never been through physical withdrawals but I know how big God is. I also know water will help cleanse your body faster.

I will be praying for you!

PS.. A verse for you..
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. Psalm 28:7

Hope you are hanging in there our prayers are still with you, God has really put you on my heart. I am sorry your husband isn't saved and you don't think he would be of supportive help, will now start praying for his salvation.

I have been praying that you will meet another Christian who could be of supportive help or guide you to a church where they might have experience and have christian counseling to help you from a Christian perspective even if it is just for fellowship and encouragement in the Lord.

I realise you are just trying to hang in there with God and only He can deliver you but maybe someone will call you out of the blue and will give you more christian help as well as some practical support if your husband isn't helping.
 
This is Weds and we haven't heard from you since Sunday. Just that we are wondering about you, worried as well but am putting that into God's hands as He will deliver you.

I don't mean to hassle you but if it means you are to sick/down to post will even pray more for you.

God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we've done wrong. 1 John 1:9 (I have no idea why but this verse is on my mind)
 
No hassle at all.I am ok.The withdrawals really got kinda hard to deal with so
i called my doctor and got him to call me in a script for lortabs.I think the only
reason he did was because i had just been to see him for a bladder infection
and that was the first time i had ask him to do that.
The lortabs stopped the withdraws.I do not ever want to take another
morphine pill if i live to be 100 yrs old!!
Thanks you so much for your prayers!!

Praise God :amen I will keep and remember you and your husband in my prayers. Let us know at least sometimes how you are doing. Would love if you keep staying around but do pop in and keep us updated.
 
mayaggie... I'm not giving you a hard time, please know that. My concern is that you shouldn't be taking any prescription pain killers at all, after finally coming off Morphine. Lortabs might not have the strength of Morphine but they are still pain pills and are easy to develope a dependency for, and then advance on to something stronger. You would have to be super vulnerable right now.
My concern is you could be heading right back where you left off.
 
I am only taking the lortabs to stop the withdraws.I have battled with bladder infections my whole
life and have taken lortabs many times.I can stop the lortabs with no withdraws at all.
I do understand what you are saying.But I am not trying to replace one pill with another.
I do not have any insurance and could not possibly keep going to the dr. for lortabs.
The morphine was something that someone gives to me.I have already told them that
i do not want anymore.
When i first started taking it i had more energy and felt better.But not anymore.
I am trying to stop everything.The drinking is going to be the hardest.
I know it's hard for you to understand.
 
Mayaggie, do you have any really close female Christian friends ---- people who really care about you? If so, you may want to choose one of them and ask her help. Visit with her as often as possible and phone her every day. Tell her about your struggles. Whenever you feel weak, and have an overwhelming desire for drugs or alcohol, call her, and if possible ask her over. Pray together with her. Allow God through her to help you overcome, and give you the ability to say "no".

George MacDonald wrote, "When we turn against [our sin] and refuse to obey them, they rise in fierce insistence, but the same moment begin to die. We are then on the Lord's side ... and he begins to deliver us from them." --- from Chapter One Salvation from Sin in The Hope of the Gospel.
 
Paidion is telling you the truth.

I do understand to a certain extent.. I lost a close friend to drugs. We took her into our home but let her get away too soon. She had substituted alcohol for drugs.. came off them a little while, while staying with us, but needed to be with us longer. She died of an oxycontin overdose a few months after she left us. I have regrets to this day.. and learned a hard lesson from it.

You need the support of some strong Christians, or at least one. The devil is crafty and you are in a war. You need some face to face discipleship until you are stronger. I care, or I wouldn't tell you these things.
 
I do not have any christian friends.I don't think you understand.I am not trying to replace
one thing with another.I have had a drinking problem for 9 yrs.Like a fool about 8 months
ago i started take morphine.My first step was to stop taking morphine.Even with cutting back
1/4 of a pill every other day it left me having withdraws.I have not taken any in 5 days.
Even this morning i woke up with my legs hurting.I am only taking the lortabs to stop
the withdraws.It's no different than a heroin addict taken methadone.
When the lortabs are gone then i will be off both without having to suffer 7 days of
withdraws.3 days was enough.As i have learned,morphine is not like taking lortabs
and other pain medicine.You have terrible withdraws.That's why everytime i tried to stop
i ended up taking it again.This time different because i do have something to take
until the morphine is completely out of my system.
Then i face the real battle.My drinking.I do realise that if you never have had a problem like this
it is very hard to understand.Could probably even make you angry just reading this.
I know because i did that years ago before i ever started drinking.I thinks it a story
would be worth telling.I am going to tell you when have more time to write.Thank you for your prayers!
 
Keep it up Mayaggie. I understand what you're saying about the Lortabs, as they are a different thing alltogether from Morphine. I also understand somewhat about your drinking problem, both personally and watching first-hand what it is. But rest assured that it can be done. Others have surely done it and you are no different...and compared to many who go through this you are not alone, you have the Holy Spirit of the Living God with you to help you. How awesome is that thought?! Think on it!
