When you feel your going nowhere.

There might be a season in your walk with the Lord that all your doors seem to be closed and the hope you had seems to have disappeared. The vision you had which gave you much joy, hope and excitement is gone. 

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

                    All things, even when you feel your going nowhere. It's all for our good, to prepare us for what is to come for us. We may not understand what is happening at the moment, but we must move forward in our walk with the Lord even if we feel there is no reason to. 

                   Though He was the Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Hebrews 5:8. 

                    What we feel when we are going through, when you feel like your going nowhere, is painful. We suffer. But God is still with us, teaching us, loving us and guiding us. 

                     There might be something in your life you need to change, there might be something you need to be consistent in and keep doing. We must continue to obey God even if we don't feel like it, even if you feel your going nowhere. 

                     God gives us hope, He always has given it to me, no matter what is happening in my life. We may not see things clear at the moment and we may have to seek council from mature Christians and His word to see things better. 

                     The hope of the righteous will be gladness, but the expectation of the wicked will perish. Proverbs 10:28. 

                      All things work together for our good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. To be more like Jesus and to do His will. what else would you want to do with your life? There is nothing worth anything better than following and living for Jesus.

                      So keep moving forward with the Lord, obeying His every command, even if you don't feel like it. The rewards are endless.

When in crisis

 When in crisis always consult with your doctor first. If you need an adjustment of your medication or even need medication if you have never been threw this before, or need to be hospitalized. this I believe must be done first.

                             The medication must be right first and always, if you need them, for everything to be better. If you don't believe in doctors or medication for some wild reason, remember Luke the apostle was a doctor. 

                              God and His Holy Spirit can and will help us through these times, but we must believe that He can and will work through doctors and medication. Through my experience have always trusted God and prayed to give me the right doctor and medication in all circumstances. 

                               Now this does not mean that this is a full proof method to follow. the medication must be right first, but there could be among many things that could happen, that the medication could take time and make many adjustments to be right. I am not a doctor but that's why I will direct you to them because they will help you too.

                               Once the medication is right and you are stable, then you will be able to focus better on God or anything at all. If you need medication, it should be directed by a doctor always.  

                               The doctors must see you in your right mind too, they are the ones that must consider and determine you are stable. 

                               Mental illness is nothing to play around with. Yes I believe you need medication and God for the ultimate treatment as I call it. But you must be careful even with churches out there, with weird beliefs that you don't need medication because, YES God can heal you they say, yes God can heal you but I believe a doctor must determine that always. He must be the one to do whatever with your medication and your mental state to get you well. And God can still do miracles. 

                                The world needs help with the mentally unstable, but they must add Jesus to the equation.
