Prayer Requests Thread

Requesting prayers for a friend with schizophrenia, who got sent to the psych ward 2 weeks ago for not taking his meds. No news from him since then. Really miss him, he's a good kid.

Additionally, that he takes his meds? I used to do the same, but it really just made my relationship with my family way worse. My life got better after I started taking them, even if I was hard against them before.

This is the most depressing thing I've read all month. In any sane society, this mother (who's not even the biological mother) would never see the outside of a madhouse. Lord have mercy.
 
I am at my wit's end and in the depths of despair. God has protected me from suicidal ideation, but I can feel myself slowly spiraling in that direction. The reasons are too complicated and personal for me to feel comfortable stating them here, but I would like to ask you all to pray that God may grant me strength, hope, humility and a desire to pray and confess.

Stay strong brother. I will keep you in my prayers tonight.

You're not alone. I too struggle with episodes of depression and despair. You must trust that God has a plan for us, even if it can be hard to see.

Lately I have found a lot of benefit by reading "Unseen Warfare". It teaches you to restrain the imagination, which is where such dark thoughts often originate. It also reminds us that if we stand patiently with God, victory over the passions is a certainty! No degree of despair is stronger than His grace. I highly recommend this book, and there are many other good Orthodox resources that teach you how to take back your mind from the devil.
