One thing I've truly learned in my 26 years of living, is that the enemy always makes it seem like that whatever you are going through...you are going through it alone. God wanted me to remind you and I that we are not alone. For truly if we are His, his word tells us He will never leave us nor forsake us (Deuteronomy 3:16). At times, living with mental illness, it can be very challenging and sometimes I can honestly say I feel so alone. I'm currently being stretched in the prophetic gift and even though there are prophets with mental illness, I haven't met one yet that would sit and talk with me. I'm learning how to use my gift but also remembering to keep my mind healthy. I'm learning balance with it and it can sometimes be tiresome. But God is there to help! These are my encounters with it but God wanted me to encourage you in these following ways to let you know that you are not alone!
If a father or mother abandoned or neglected you....you are not alone.
To experience suicidal thoughts or attempted or have a loved one die by suicide...you are not alone.
To feel you are incompetent and never doing enough...you are not alone.
To have been molested or rape...you are not alone.
To have an addiction and you can't seem to overcome it....you are not alone.
To not finish school...you are not alone.
Being divorced...you are not alone.
To be abused mentally, emotionally, verbally, physically, and sexually...you are not alone.
To suffer in silence with your mental illness...you are not alone.
To get weary in your calling....you are not alone.
To experience loneliness in your singleness or in your marriage...you are not alone.
To want to give up on your marriage...you are not alone.
To feel overwhelmed with life....you are not alone.
To experience homelessness or not being able to pay your bills on time...you are not alone.
To be a single mother or father...you are not alone.
To be a teenage mom or father ...you are not alone.
To be broken-hearted and depressed...you are not alone.
The list could go on and on but I say this all to say is that you are never alone in your circumstances. God is with you and what you are going through will heal, encourage and set free someone else. Be encouraged as you are being processed for you destiny. All things work together for your good. Romans 8:28
Love,
