I have shied away from writing too much on my own blog because I'm afraid of being seen as a crybaby--- or as you put it dramarama.<br /><br />I have read sheila walshes book about her depression, and it was a helpful read.<br /><br />I will pray as often as I think of you. And I'm so sorry you are going through this. (btw, i so relate to the fear of scarring your child through your depression.) very very big hugs to you sister.

I love how you open your heart to love, like an ocean's tides... pouring in and gushing out. <br /><br />I'm praying for the Joy of Heaven to break the dam, to expose the darkness, to bring in a rainbow of joyous light to you. That you might only just barely remember this time of sorrow, known and unknown. That you might be overtaken my joy at the most unpredictable moments, far greater than these episodes of grief.<br /><br />I'm asking God to give you your heart's greatest desire, for such great intimacy with Him that it pushes back the darkness from within and without.<br /><br />Adding my love and prayers to all the other beautiful voices here... xxxoooxxxSusan Schillerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09856831474254156927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095265928930417153.post-85879645465666822032013-09-08T21:06:09.259-07:002013-09-08T21:06:09.259-07:00Sweet Beth...yes, I will pray for you, and for the...Sweet Beth...yes, I will pray for you, and for the rest of us! I've been up and down with my depression lately. Just wanting to curl up and sleep, be alone, not face the world. My only saviour is the Saviour. I find it hard to read His Word, pray, go to church, etc but I feel Him with me. Maybe that's what He wants. To just be near me so I can feel His presence instead of me seeking Him. I believe the same for you. He wants you to rest in Him. Have an internal conversation with Him. Nothing serious, just quiet yourself, say hi and let Him lead. xoxoPaulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998506662161051393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095265928930417153.post-23646875611163793462013-09-07T21:05:04.860-07:002013-09-07T21:05:04.860-07:00The darkness is light to Him.

So grateful you are trying the meds and going to talk to someone but yes, there is nothing like the power of prayer. Prayer moves the hand of God. It is mystery and we embrace the hope that the light will come again. I am believing it with you, for you. "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light."

After years of feeling guilty for not being able to engage fully in my family and missions call and trying to explain to people about feeling so exhausted I couldn’t get up the stairs and saying “thank you” to peoples well meant but hurtful remarks and eye-rolling, I am now liberated in my diagnosis … Isn’t that strange!?<br /><br />Beth I found beauty in your vulnerability. Your article had my spirit rise against that which afflicts you and help me recognise that I know that my next stage is seeking Papa for His solution to this … After years of this and it’s “fuelling” effect of my depression I am ready to be healed … but I know there’s His perfect timing in all of this and in the midst of suffering there is much to learn … So … I wait …<br /><br />You have a new friend in me and I hope that as I add my thoughts and prayers with all the other saints that you too will see victory but in the meantime walk like you really are ...

These words right here:<br />And yet, even though my relationship with God feels tenuous and prayer is near impossible for me when I fall yet again into the blackness of depression -- I believe in the power of prayer, in the hope of Heaven. In the fiery intensity of God's love, even though all that I can feel is depression's cold pallor. <br />This is what it seems like we've been talking about all week. Sitting in the messy but knowing He's there, He hasn't left, that hope isn't devoid in the darkness. <br />I love you :)<br />Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11537805099520940679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2095265928930417153.post-445156899801478242013-09-07T06:44:57.150-07:002013-09-07T06:44:57.150-07:00Yes, I will pray.

Spirit, You who hovered over chaos at creation, You who danced Your shaping beauty with Abba and Son, come and hover over the chaos of dark places and shatter them by the bright glory of Light. Jesus, we, this present day cloud of witnesses, join with Your saints, past, present, and future, to stand firm against the thief who seeks to steal, kill and destroy. We declare Your Life and Your truth that gives us Life to the full because the tomb is empty and the new is here. We bring heaven to earth by Your power and Your authority. We say NO to that wily enemy and his minions, on behalf of Beth and the Made teachers and participants, and we say YES to You. Pour multitudes of Your mercy over the landscape of these hearts, gallons of grace to bring hearts fully alive. We worship You, and You alone. You are our only Hope and we claim You as our Lord and King, our hearts' true Lover. Lift up the weary and embrace them with the glorious goodness of Yourself. We adore You.

And for our community here. We have each been drawn to this art community because it is about art AND following Christ. Your post is an example of why this community is different from many of the other art communities most of us are a part of. Because we gather in Christ, we have the privilege to pray for one another, to lift up and encourage one another, and to receive the same when we are in need. We are Christ's community here in this art community. I'm excited and blessed to be a part of this. Thank you Beth for starting this community. I also do not go right to "spiritual warfare" whenever anything goes wrong, but I think as this community now starts coming together in His name we do face opposition, because this place is a good place. A place where we connect and grow and heal through the power of Christ and through the community, doing art together in His name. "Where two or three come together in MY name, there am I with them."
