It's hard to ask for prayer for myself, and lately, it has been very hard for me to pray for myself. I have had a very rough past three years suffering from depression and PTSD. I struggle with the confidence and courage I need to continue trying to make a dream come true. I ask for your prayers for the Lord's guidance and my self confidence to be strong to find what I need to do. Thank you and God bless!!
 
You're in my prayers, Charlotte. Struggling with PTSD is challenging enough, let alone having to contend with lack of confidence and courage.

It does take an amount of confidence as well as courage to seek prayer, even in a more anonymous site such as here. When viewed in that regard, it's a good feeling, isn't it, to know you could request prayers and to know we will be more than happy to pray for and with you. (And there are many here at CFnet who pray without making comment on a thread!)

Reliance 100% on our Lord's loving kindness is what gets each of us through the day. He will never abandon you, and He will never cease to love you. We love you, too!

Dear Sister Charlotte, yours is a medical condition that we can pray for, and whether God touches you directly or allows doctors to bring the cure, God has not and will never allow you to suffer more than you're able. Do not give up the hope that is within you, and return to your first works of taking in the word of God above all things.

As for your web site you'll soon have enough posts (20) to advertise on our Business Plugs forum and I'll buy something there to help your efforts; we all need the means to live and from what I've seen God has given you the gift and love in your product of Christian shirts to actually have a ministry with it.

Dear Father, Please come with healing to this dear sister and give her the faith to wait on your deliverance from circumstances she finds herself in. Reestablish the courage to continue with the vision you gave her and assure her of Your presence with her in the fire she is experiencing. Thank You Father and I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
 
Hi Charlotte, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will make it right and true.
Don't quit, we're here with you.
God is already blessing you richly!
 
I appreciate your prayers so much. These encouraging words are such a great help to me. I have Christian friends, but none of them seem to understand my struggle I deal with because of my condition. They know the circumstances that caused the PTSD, but most of them believe you talk it through and then done.
Trying to be confident but too many feelings bringing me down. God is in control, though!!!
 
Will pray for healing. It will take time, sister, but don't you give up!
I will also pray that your dream may come true, and be blessed by God.
 
Hi Charlotte! you're right that no one quite uniquely has insights into your own thoughts and feelings...except the Lord Jesus, of course. Hebrews 12, to keep 'looking unto Jesus' is always a good thing to do.
