A five week wash out period is required before I can consider any other anxiety reducing meds and the LORD has called me to use that time to learn to use prayer, instead of medication.

Thank you so much for your visit.<br /><br />Larry - I can relate to you because just recently I lost my mom, plus I ended up getting a subpoena for a murder case that I worked over twenty years ago which ended up putting a guy on death roll here in Oregon. The defense attorney had me on the stand about three hours brow beating me and wanting to know why I could not remember all of the details of the case. All I could do was say, "I can't remember". God's blessing too you. <br /><br />MTJ - As hard as I try to hand everything over to our Lord Jesus, I still seem to worry too much. I guess I need to learn how to give "ALL" my troubles over to Him. God bless.<br /><br />RCUBEs - It also comforted me when my dad died in 1998, when my son died in 2004, and when my middle son got word that he had leukemia in 2008, and when my mom died last month. You are so right about the "Joy and Peace" that only comes from Him. God bless you.<br /><br />Philip - Thank you so much for your visit and comment. What an inspiring testimony you have regarding your strong love and faith in our Lord and Savior. God's blessings too you.<br /><br />Zimbabwe - Thank you so much for this wonderful testimony on God's power over depression and neurosis. I will pray for you that He continues to work in your life. God bless.<br /><br />GODthinker - You are so right about how easy it is to be overcome by our circumstances. I am still learning that God wants us to give Him 100% of our life, not just the part we feel comfortable about giving to him. God bless.<br /><br />Celestina Marie - Thank you so much for your visit and I am so happy that this post was a blessing to you. I always want readers to know that all the credit goes to Him that died on the cross for my sins. God's blessings too you. <br /><br />Terri and Dfish - So glad this post was a blessing too you. <br /><br />Chris - You are right. Sometimes we forget to go to the Lord in prayer when everything is going great, but as soon as something "negative" happens.... Boy does that make us fall to our knees in prayer. Thank you so much for your visit and comments.<br /><br />Dad and Mom - I want to thank you for your visit and honest comment regarding your beliefs. Please read 1 Corinthians 1:18 and it will explain to you why the Bible doesn't make any sense to you. Thanks again for your visit. God bless. <br /><br />Debbie, Jenna and Territory Mom - Thanks for your visits and encouraging comments. Jenna, please try talking with our Lord Jesus just like you would talk to your most loved and best friend. There are no secrets about praying. Just speak honestly from the heart. God bless.<br /><br />Tim - Thank you so much for your visit and comments. I can just see your mom saying this to you and your brother. My question would be, "Did the reverse psychology work?" God bless.Solid Rock or Sinking Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815501572621378327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-601271736781558965.post-73335498125194691912010-08-12T15:47:06.658-07:002010-08-12T15:47:06.658-07:00This is terrific, Lloyd.

Your question, "<b>Can you imagine never being 'anxious about anything'!</b>" brings the topic into focus.<br /><br />It is a matter of committing our problems to God in prayer and trusting Him to provide the answer.<br /><br />Blessings and peace.<br /><br /><a href="http://mythought-filledjourney.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">MTJ</a>MTJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694085588658653915noreply@blogger.com
