Overcoming Sadness

Thank you Lord for this Forum. You always find a way to guide me through to the other side. Please help me overcome my sadness, loneliness and depression in this dry season. Bring me a helpmate and husband to grow in faith with me and beside me, as I navigate this world. Show me your miracles and hear my prayers. I humbly submit. Amen!

@Monicara, first, you are now on my daily prayer list. Second, read the Psalms for personal prayers, mostly by David, that share such feelings with God. Third, combine those Psalms with Philippians 4:6-7 for God’s pattern for our prayers to seek his peace about our lives.

Psa 6:1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments; according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David. O LORD, rebuke me not in your anger, nor discipline me in your wrath.
Psa 6:2 Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled.
Psa 6:3 My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long?
Psa 6:4 Turn, O LORD, deliver my life; save me for the sake of your steadfast love.
Psa 6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of you; in Sheol who will give you praise?
Psa 6:6 I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.
Psa 6:7 My eye wastes away because of grief; it grows weak because of all my foes.
Psa 6:8 Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
Psa 6:9 The LORD has heard my plea; the LORD accepts my prayer.
Psa 6:10 All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled; they shall turn back and be put to shame in a moment.

Php 4:6 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
