prayer help?

Question

whats the paryer 1 should do to keep oneself from being depressed and lonely..........to avoid negastive thought overtaking positive thought and to maintain faith in god.....

Answer 1

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
when there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying [to ourselves] that we are born to eternal life.

Answer 2

if u pray stright of ur heart, u will feel u r not alone, take it from me.
if u still feel depressed attend a mass prayer like aarti in any temple, it will arouse some self-confidence.
Rermember, time is the best healer.
and... lastly...
IF DISCIPLE IS READY, MASTER WILL FIND HIM.
So, have no worry, just leave everything to him. I also had bad days but god sent me help, I did not go to him. Father Jerry Lobo (I am a hindu) came to me and he lifted me out of my depression.

Answer 3

Listening to sermons may help, because our minds can be renewed by the Word of God (Romans 12:2), and faith comes by hearing the word of Christ (Romans 10:17). Paul wrote that it pleased God that by the foolishness of preaching of the message of the cross to save (preserve, rescue from danger, make whole) those who believe. (1 Corinthians 1:21)

This sermon is about God is in control of our lives, and how He is always working behind the scenes for our good.

Answer 4

Close your eyes. Visualize that He is in front of you, ever ready to come to you whenever you will need Him. Leave everything at His Feet, without expecting something to come to you soon. When you think negative, try to hide it by making a good thought or memory come to your mind. Let that thought take over the negative one! Whenever you think of Him, do it mentally because the positive vibrations flow better in deep silence!

Answer 6

why you feel depressed.your mind says so many things and you are confused and feel confused.a confused mind can not find any solution. the problems are in our mind and this makes us feel insecured. a sedated mind will not think for a while and so feel confortable. your mind may get sedated if you divert your mind towards so many escapes because your mind is afraid of so many apprehensions which are again the creation of mind. if you are getting a comfort by way of any escapes, your mind feel confortable only for a while or in that particular moment. so ultimately both the cause and remedy for mental disturbance are with in our mind i e with in SELF.so problems are created by our mind and the same mind aspire for escapes from it.nothing is coming from outside.ie our mind is spinning its own cobwebs trying to come out of it. prayer, meditation etc are all comforts and there may be a stage where your mind may not get the required level of comfort from these escape routes. in that situation what you will do with your escapes? think yourself and your "self" which is the doorway for individual freedom and not the escapes.

Answer 7

Prayer is simply communication with God. He hears your thoughts as well as your words. Just keep in mind He is always there, talk to Him throughout your day and be mindful of Him always. You must choose from moment to moment to ask Him to keep the enemy far from your thoughts. When those thoughts come in, ask Him to help you push them out. I will pray for you, but I really don't want to refer you to Him as evil, so I will say the one who desires His help.

Answer 8

Pray with total devotion, abandon and full faith,for the Grace of God,surrender to Him to be lead by Him, He will give you right thought, right path and strength to walk the path!

Answer 9

The prayer where you ask God to fill you w/ the Holy Ghost. It will guide you comfort,power over the devil, and make you a powerful witness for God. Just tell God you want to give him your life totally. Tell him to make it what he wants it to be. To fill you with the Holy Ghost. That means having God's spirit in your heart forevermore. You never have to be alone! God wants us to be happy,healthy people.In mind,body, and spirit. God Bless!
