oh stuff...

I was talking to one of my good friends at work and it reminded me of this...

About two years ago I was going through a time when I was-crying everyday, sleeping a ton, eating bags of candy, and getting angry at Jason super easy (I wasn't PMSing cause it was going on and on)

So one of my bible study teachers told me to write down all my issues on a piece of paper and under them put scriptures that will help me see the truth more clearly or that would comfort me. So I did.

I wanted to post em.

Scripture to Transform my mind

1. I feel crazy

God is not a God of confusion, but a God of peace. 1 Corinthians 14:33

My Lord, I belong to you.  I tell you what worries me, and you won't let me fall. Psalm 55:22

2. Life is hard, I'd rather die or just go away

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. John 10:10

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. Hebrews 12:2-3

3. I’m frustrated with where I’m at in my career

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
          

The Lord Who bought you and saves you, the Holy One of Israel, says, "I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to do well, Who leads you in the way you should go. Isaiah 48:17

 4. I doubt the existence of God

See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." Hebrews 3:12-15

5. I fear trusting God in every area of my life

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 
and lean not on your own understanding

In all your ways acknowledge Him, 
and He shall direct your paths. 
Proverbs 3:5-6

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, that transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7

6. I am frustrated sometimes when I pray

“Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud and He shall hear my voice.”   Psalm 55:17

           

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be  done for you.” John 15:7

7. I want to numb my thoughts and feelings (by doing outrageous things, drinking, yelling, eating)

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:1-2

8. I feel so empty and hurt

           

            He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

The Lord will always lead you. He will meet the needs of your soul in the dry times and give strength to your body. You will be like a garden that has enough water, like a well of water that never dries up. Isaiah 58:11

9. I want to be joyful

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill me completely with joy and peace because I trust in Him. Then I will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

10. I feel depressed

“I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and He turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.  He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what He has done and be astounded. They will put their trust in the Lord.”

Psalm 40:1-2
