Sweet ladies,
I have to share this praise with you. My mum has a bipolar illness and 3 and ½ years ago, she felt into deep depression, went to hospital, was there for few months, doctors could not help her and they told us, that she will never live the life like before. It was super difficult time for me. My mum was always a Christian and she was the one teaching me about a God and praying with me when I was a small child. When this depression hit her, I could not see anything positive in this. Except of many normal things she was not able to do like shopping etc. She did not want to pray anymore and go to the church. The biggest pain for me was when she was saying many times, that God does not love her and forgotten her. I prayed for it, no matter how the situation will go, that she will fell again loved by Him. I could not believe that the person, who all her life was loving God and the Lord will let this world not loved by Them. When I looked at her I wanted many times just cry. Even 10 months ago I was really crying to my HH to give me the faith to believe that it is for some good and that He has it under control.
Due to the circumstances I was seeing at her I was not able to believe it, I was not able to surrender complete to Him and I wanted to do changes in her medicine. But my dear ladies, He is so so gooooooooood. Firstly, He helped me to surrender it after some time after I asked Him for it. And two days ago when I visit her, she was reading the book My Beloved from Erin, that I gave her maybe 5 years ago. I even did not remember it. I told her, mum these are devotional one for one day. She said she knows, but she wants to read it in ones completely. I just smiled and my faith that she will start to feel loved by Him again increased. And you know what? Yesterday she was in the church!!!!!!! After 3 and ½ Ameeen!! Ladies you cannot imaged how big it is for all our family and how huge joy I have from it. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You my sweet Heavenly Husband!!! Ladies, when doctors tell you that something is not possible turn your face to the Best Doctor, because for Him nothing is impossible!!!! And if you have a problem to believe that any kind of dark valley you go through is serving for good, ask Him for it. He will give that faith!! Thank you my Love!!!

Yes Anissa I too struggle with the concept of depression especially amongst Christian women, 2 of my closest Christian friends suffer from depression and they are active prayer warriors who have prayed for me many times (and is still praying) praise God one of them also stayed away from church and came back! My other friend has always managed to attend. I have never considered myself as a Prayer Warrior but now I am praying for them . We must pray without ceasing.
Dearest Anissa I’m sitting here 🥹 overwhelmed with gratitude because of His goodness and love 💗 that due to His overflowing love for me by being in His presence we (He and I) penned the words in My Beloved that we are witnessing the healing ❤️🩹 of our family members—women we love the most.
In a previous praise I submitted my own sister not only began sending me screenshots (and yes not always just that day’s devotional either) she asked for the paperback that’s now healing your mother. Incredible. How GOOD KIND TENDERHEARTED is our Husband towards us.
I must (as my Husband is showing me) to add the #MB to this PRAISE 🙌🏻 and the one I posted.
Thank you ☺️ Anissa for sharing this so we can join your JOY 🤩
Thank you for sharing this amazing praise Anissa, my mother also struggled with depression, and I know exactly how you feel. It is not a easy road to travel seeing your mom suffering from depression to a point where they can’t get out of bed in the mornings, and I had to take over a lot of her tasks like cooking and organizing the house. This was many years ago, long before I got married. But Praise the Lord that your mother found healing and comfort from her Husband through the My Beloved book.
HH also healed and comforted me so much through MB during some of the most difficult times as well. When I proofed the AFR I felt so encouraged after each month completed. Once I started, I couldn’t stop :):)
Dear Anissa, it brings back memories reading your testimony of your mum and I praise our Heavenly Husband for what He is doing for your mum. Years ago when I got divorced I went into such a bad depression and tried to kill myself a few times and one day my doctor said she has to admit me to a hospital and I asked her to give me one week and in that one week I said to my Heavenly Husband I can’t do this on my own, I threw all the pills away and asked Him to heal me and for sure He did and I give Him all the glory and praise.
Thank you for sharing Janine, after my parents passed away, I also fell into depression. At that stage I thought going to a psychiatrist was the only solution, not knowing my Heavenly Husband as my Healer at that stage. I was prescribed anti-depressants and it made me feel terrible. I threw it away after 1 week and I promised myself that I would never go down that road again, and thanks to my HH I never felt into that a bad state of depression again. But only through His grace and strength.
Dear Adina, the medication also made me fee terrible and today I know it was our Loving Heavenly Husband showing us He didn’t want us on the medication and I give Him all the glory and praise that He healed us.
Hi dear Anissa, it is so good to read your praise. I have a very close relationship with my mum and I understand how painful it is to see them in a different place where they used to be, specially with their HH. He is so faithful and such a gentleman. He is always waiting for us to surrender all our sadness, our pain, our frustration and our fear so He can show us that He is the Best of the Best in all areas.
I do agree with you about not taking a regular doctor´s word as the final one because for God anything is possible!
Reading this fills me with hope, I also gave the book to restore her marriage to my mother, and I have cried before my Celestial Husband why I want her to feel Loved by him and to read the hope that is in that book, I know that one day my God will touch your heart so that you read it and find the hope of being loved as only he can do it, I admit that I do not speak English, however I use the translator to read your praises, how great to be able to read them and know what that our Love is doing in your lives.
