Oh, My Lord!
Please give me the strength to not succumb to suicide!
Oh, My Lord!
Please give me a comforting hand on my shoulder when I tremble and weep!
Oh, My Lord!
Please give me the hope that another day will be better than the last!
Oh, Lord!
Please give me the inspiration and guidance to not give in to my deep dark despair!
For I am drowning and can not swim and find my way out!
Oh, Lord!
Please give thanks to the many people who are trying to help me stay stable!
They are afraid of me and I do not blame them! I can be violent! For that I am ashamed!
Dear Lord,
I feel I have not given enough people credit for trying to keep me on my medications, seek my therapist, and consult my psychiatrist. I feel that my family has failed me many times and not caught me before I fall each time in time. I try not to blame them and hate them for it. I feel that I am running away from myself not them. I am about to go to an assisted living facility so please give me the strength, the courage, the dedication, the heart, and the hope that I will not be abandoned and locked up! I write so much on despair and loss of hope. I wish to not give up on believing in you. Please oh, Lord forgive me!
Amen

Thank you for your entry
Sometimes, all we can do is hand it over to Him, and that is exactly what He needs and wants us to do is give it up to Him. Your family, they are only human and can only do so much. It is up to you in the end to decide to take your medication and to seek help from those who are there to help you. Ask God for the strength and the will to do what you must to get better. I am reminded of the song 'In the midst of it all' He kept me in the midst of it all, I know my family loves me but they cannot do for me what God can.
God Bless
Tammy
