   Prayer Requests:
        SUICIDAL
 
I am a Christian, pray and read my bible daily, attend church, am saved, but for the last couple of years, I have struggled with very, very severe depression. I am on medication for depression and am getting counseling from a Christian psychotherapist who deals with spiritual issues as well as emotional. I do not know if I am under "attack", but lately have thought some very violent thoughts toward myself and have been filled with self-hatred and loathing. I have been praying for strenghth, and I will feel fine, and the next day, have thoughts and a plan to end my life. Please pray for me. I am a "normal" person, and these thoughts are very frightening!

Father I come in the Mighty Name of Jesus against the spirit of suicide, against the spirit of depression. I pray in the Name of Jesus that You will meet this person right now at the level of her need. Let her know that she is Your child and that You are there if she needs You. Father I ask in the Name of Jesus that You would begin to stir her spirit right now and let her know that she does have an advocate. In the name of Jesus let her know that there is no problem that is to big for You to handle. Let her know in the Name of Jesus that He died so that she may live and that it is not Your desire that she take her life. Fathe let her know now in the Name of Jesus that it is also not Your desire that she be depressed. Father You tell us in Your Word that whatever we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and I bind these spirits of depression, suicide and despair up now in the Name of Jesus and You also tell us that whatever we loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven, Father, right now in the Holy, Righteous and Mighty Name of Your Son Jesus, I loose Joy, Happiness and Comfort into her life. Father, I pray that You will Lay Ear to the prayers of Your servant right now in the Name of Jesus, Amen

As I was done reading my email I decided to pray for one person and felt led to just go to the last prayer request. God is with you and sees your turmoil. He is waiting for you to turn to Him. Trust in Him don't lose sight of Him and pray OUTLOUD with me as you read this. In the name of Jesus I am sorry that I've had thoughts of ending my life instead of turning my eyes towards You. Forgive me for not rebuking these thoughts the very minute that they entered. You are God almighty, God of Love, God of Provision, God of Everything and from this day forth I will believe that you can handle ANY of my problems no matter how small. I will believe in Your power to deliver me from the evil spirts that are depressing me and taking away my hope. In the name of JESUS CHRIST demons of depression you are not allowed to stay within me for I am a child of God, so in in the powerful name of JESUS I bind and cast you out of me into utter darkness to never return again. My Trust is in the Lord, My Hope is in the Lord and I refuse to believe again that God cannot take care of any problem I have. I thank the Lord for hearing my prayer and for delivering me and loving me.

If you feel that you might have other areas that you need deliverence just say the name of the demon in place of the name above (depression) and cast that demon out as well. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you any names of them. I have prayed for myself in areas and know have been delivered through the name of Jesus. Sometimes when I've prayed as above I only yawn alot and yet am not even tired or sometimes I gag while the demon is coming out. Some people might actually get sick (like my husband) but not with food, and some nothing happens physically so son't be suprised if this has happened.
God wants you to be happy, He wants you to feel his love and protection and provision. He truly loves YOU otherwise He would not have died for you. Ask God to reveal a scripture that will remind you of this and say it outloud everyday until you belive it in your head, your heart and your spirit.

It is hard to give on advice on what we perceive as medical matters but I will speak as what is in my Spirit. If you are on drugs to control your depression and they are not helping maybe you are not chemically depressed.

Maybe you are caught up in Spiritual warfare. [Luke 22:31] "Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that (all of)you be given up to him (out of the power and keeping of God), that he might sift (all of) you like grain." satan goes to our Father and ask permission to attack us, He grants him permission sometimes so that you grow in Him and become stonger in your walk.

[Ephesians 6:12] "For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms." We are in a battle with darkness and that battle will go on until the Glorious Second Comming of Our Lord. We must continue to stand and fight for we know that we will win and you know you will win this for it is not your fight but our God's fight. Put on the whole armor of God everyday. I try to do this and i know this works. Her is the prayer I use: Therefore I take up the whole armor of God, that I may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. I Stand therefore, I gird my waist with truth, I put on the breastplate of righteousness, and I shod my feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, I take the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And I take the helmet of salvation, and I take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; I pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints-- and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.

If you are not clinically depressed but you you are waring against the deceiver you will need to pull down some strongholds in your life that satan is using to keep you bound and suffering. There are several good books on pulling down strongholds. One is Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer. If you want a Scriptual study on satanic attack e-mail me. My profile is public.

A wise mentor of mine told me that satan only attacks those who are saved he has the rest. He knows he will never have us but he wants to make our life a living hell. Well we shouldn't let him and we need to stand strong with our Heavenly Father!

Father in Heaven I come before you for this saint, this child of yours and ask you to reveal the stonghold(s) in this persons life so that they can break the bondages that are causing this depression. I want to thank you Father for revealing this and breaking these bondages in their life! In Jesus name I pray - Amen

Hello guest,

I believe that we feel suicidal when we lose hope. Do not lose hope.

[Psalm 43:5]
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Encourage yourself in the Lord.

Many times we are depressed because we choose to be. Discouragement and depression is a choice which we consciously make. It starts with a negative thought. Let a negative thought replay, expand and fester long enough and we will be terribly depressed. Stop the negative thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts. I know it is easier said than done but you are not alone in fighting these negative forces. You can conquer it because Christ is in you.

Please read the following prayer email archives and ask God to speak to you through these passages:
i. controlling our thoughts

ii. renewing our minds

iii. overcoming emotional suffering
http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=11&forumtype=3&topicid=344&table=prayer

Father in Heaven,

I lift up this guest and I pray that as this guest turn to you in prayer, that You will encourage this guest and deliver this guest from depression.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Hello Child of God,
I was once in your position, severly depressed not be able to understand the fact that it was satan trying to destroy me. I thank God, He healed me from my depression. He will heal you also. Once I realized that is was an attack from Satan, I immediately sought the word of God. [Isaiah 54:17]No weapon formed against me shall prosper [Phillipian 4:13] I can do all things through christ who strengthens me. [Isaiah 53:5] He was bruised for our transgression,(ending scriptures reads) by his stripes we are healed. These were just a few scriptures that helped me. I had enough faith to know that God would deliver me. He will deliver you! Just began to pray, use the authority that God has given us, Cast out every thought that is contrary to the word of God! When you pray, pray in the Name of Jesus with audible authority. Talk to God, and believe in your heart, he is listening, and he will rescue and deliver you! He did it for me and I am sure he will do it for you! Father in heaven, you know our needs even before we ask, Lord I thank you for healing me of my depression and for shedding your light of love on me. Father I come before you, humble asking you to do the same thing for this dear soul, the same thing you've done for me! Father give this individual hope, give them determination to fight against the strongholds of the devil. You are our lamp, O lord; You, the Lord, turn our darkness into light. (2 Samuel 22:29) You, O Lord keep my lamp burning;my God turns my darkness into light. (psalms 18:28) Send your deliverance and your healing power right now in the name of Jesus! I thank you for the miracle you will perform!
