I think I'm losing it, frens.... With all the shit happening personally my mental health is on a knife edge tbh. I'm getting irrational, angry, emotional over stupid shit, and although my heart seems strong, the rest of me is hurting daily.
I'm living in what was once a nice house and is now looking like a bombsite. It's bringing by a lot of bad memories from the fire I had 9 years ago, which also forces me to remember my late wife. My ptsd is back. Worst of all is there is little I can do about most of this right now, as I'm playing hurry up and wait with the insurance companies and contractors, and my brain and body feel paralysed to act. Feel like I'm failing my family cuz I'm not functioning like I should...
So yeah... Could use some of God's help because I can't do this without him...
I will pray for you but please play some Christian music to uplift your spirit. There are many fine artists represented on YouTube.
I second this. David used to play music for King Saul to comfort him. On many occasions he did this. David sung to the Father. From his heart. There are many songs and singers today who sing for our savior Jesus. It’s heartfelt. And pray. And I mean seriously. Fall on your face and start with “Help me”. One of the most effective prayers there is. Jesus can remove these burdens and bring you peace. There isn’t anything in this world worth more than your relationship with Jesus. Everything burns here on Earth, in the end. It’s worthless. Even your family isn’t yours. It’s His. You can’t save them, but Jesus can and will. You’re not worthless, but your unworthy. As I am. Yet by the Grace of God we are saved. Loved. To a condition we’ll never understand. Know Jesus can help you. Save you. Carry these burdens worth carrying for you. Just let Him help. Leave these problems on the ground at the cross. It’s hard for some of us to do this. So you’ll have to try. Walk away. But not alone. Jesus has you friend. ❤️
Excellent advice. I’ll add that when you pray, ask the Holy Spirit to intercede for you if you are overwhelmed.
Romans 8:26 (NIV): "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans".
Romans 8:27: "And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God".
Also, recognize that those negative thoughts are from satan and consciously reject them. Start speaking all the things that you are grateful for. It breaks the dark thoughts.
Here’s my attempt at finding some calming music to find the Lord

Agree. Put on the Gaithers. It has saved many.
