My Mom

[Cody]

My mom has been feeling really depressed. She comes home and is so tired. She usually just does what she does around the house then lays on the couch and goes to sleep. Its an everyday things for her. She told me that she is always depressed and always feel bad about herself. She says that she feels so ugly and feels that she will never find anyone to be with(my mom is a single mom). She even gets depressed over little things like her hair. Today she grabbed my hand and started crying. She told me to pray for her, so I said a prayer for her right then. It is really worrying me I dont want my mom to feel like this. She has prayed to God many times, but still she feels like this. The doctor put her on some depression pills, so maybe those will help her a little. I told her that she shouldnt worry so much because shes a pretty woman for her age and that she needed to pick up some activites to keep her mind busy and to pray about it. Does anyone have any advice I could give her? Also it would mean so much to me if you would say a prayer for her. Thanks so much for reading this. God Bless

GOD will give you and her the best advice. I will pray with you for your mom brother. Keep the faith and do not worry.

It saddens me to see a struggling parent that is trying on her/his own to fulfill a gap that is getting bigger and bigger. God is the answer Cody. He will make things softer and remember that He won't give you a cross to bear that you cant carry.

God Almighty, Provider and Healer of humankind, I am so much in debt with You, yet I know that if I ask You sincerely You will listen. God My Father, I am sincere when I ask You for intercession in the lifes of Cody and his Mom. Create a vacuum that can be filled by Your Holy Spirit Lord. They need Your help. Let Your will be done. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Father I pray that you will show cody and his mum Your love. Help them in their walk with You to listen to praise and worship music to uplift the spirit and to focus on You and not on the problems of life. Give them Your peace the only peace that passes all understanding and help them to read and understand Your Word which is God's love letter to us. Bless and encourage them I pray in Jesus' name amen.

Dear Brother,

I am so sorry to hear about your mother, it really does break my heart.

I am really proud of you though, that you are so compassionate and caring about your mother.

I am not sure exactly what to do, if she is clinically depressed, it's really hard to tell her to just push through and get out of it. Everyone reacts to depression differently. Some people want to be alone, while others want to be surrounded by people.

One thing that you could do is have some prayer time with your mother. Maybe in the morning start with a prayer. This will help her a lot.

If she is in need of company, maybe you can look for some non-expensive activities you both can do together during the weekend. Maybe she might need some adult company. Does she have any girl-friends that she could fellowship with? How about the church you attend.

I know you must feel so helpless. I know how it is to have someone you love with all you are go through depression. It's so hard, you feel like you never have the answer. The best thing for you to do is pray. Do little things for her that she wouldn't expect also. Have some family time.

Dear Lord, I pray for Brother Cody's mother Lord. I pray that you please heal her heart Father. Fill this void in her heart Lord Jesus. May Your love overflow her cup Lord Jesus. Please be with her Lord. Show her that she is not alone Father. Protect her Father. In Your Precious Name, Amen.

May God be with you and your mother Cody.

Blessings,
monkeys

Hey Cody

Grab on to Jesus. He is your lifeline. Please keep up the prayers, because God does listen. I have been like your mom too and I felt so down and depressed. Honestly what got me through it, was my own prayers. Prayers, prayers, prayers, and prayers....Try and get her to pray with you. She needs to stand up to God by herself too. Tell her that God listens and that she is worthy of the love of Jesus Christ. I understand clinical depression, but that is only a part of her terrible feelings. She is feeling terrible because she is separated from God. It is so sad, because so many people are separated from God.

It must be hard for you Cody. Keep coming here to Talk Jesus. We can pray for you always. You stand firm in faith in prayer. God does choose to love us.
Hope your mom feels better. It is an awful feeling, depression.

I pray for you Cody, that your mother will improve and think more highly of herself. I feel sorry for Cody Father and I feel sorry for Cody's mother. Please help them and give Cody the strength to help his mother cope with her terrible feelings about herself. Please dear Father, allow Cody the happiness of a God blessed home. Please Father, lead all who need You, into prayer and Christianity. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amenixie :rainbow:
God bless you and Amenixie

Everyone thank you so much for your advice and prayers. It means a lot to me, God bless you all.

This is going to sound silly, but I would like it if I could be your mom's friend. I was a single mom awhile ago too. It's hard.

I'm glad you are an encouragement to your mom and that she asks you to pray for her. But you must not feel responsible for her; the responsibility for your mom is in the Almighty's hands. It is good that you love her though, and that she trusts you enough to talk with you. You are a special person; I can really tell by your post about your mom.

I live in Tennessee too, and I'm Baptist, like you, Cody. But...we are probably not in the same part of the state, just wishful thinking I guess. Keep reminding your mom that God loves her. One of the best things she can do is read God's Word. There's no other place she can go to like the bible for full assurance of God's love, care, and protection.

Will be praying for your mom, Cody. And you too.

Love in Christ,
Dreamer

My mom has started a new medicine and has taken 30 days off of work. Hopefully this will work for her. Last night I read some of John 14 to her, she seemed to like it. Keep on praying for her please and thank you so much.

 

[Dreamer]

You are a wonderful son and a great Christian. God blesses those who honor their parents. I'm honored to have met you here at talkJesus.

 

[ladylovesJesus]

Father thank you for the new medication and I pray that it will do the job it is meant to do for her so she will be able to return to work.

Fill her with your love and peace in Jesus' name amen.

 

[Zulu]

Cody you are a strong young adult and I appreciate the way you are dealing with this problem. God sees this and He is making notes son. Keep on running the race to the end. With the Holy Spirit in you, you will never tire.
I have put you and your mom on my prayer list and will make sure that you will be prayed over everyday.

Lord our Father in Heaven, I ask you in submissiveness for guidance and protection for this family. Lord you know that if we as humans struggle we can very easy give up hope and I ask you for your hand to be laid over this family so that it can form a shield over them Lord. Your will be done , in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

 

[Cody]

My mom has been acting better, but not fully. My grandma is staying here to keep her company. Thank you everyone for praying for and please continue to do so. Also remember my great grandpa, he is in the hospital and very sick. I am pretty sure his time is coming soon. He is saved though, so that is good. :] He'll be better off in heaven, no more pain and sorrow, praise the Lord!

 

[Cody]

The doctor said my mom has OCD. She is taking medicine for it. Does anyone know anything about this or know anything else besides take medicine and pray, she can do?

 

[ladylovesJesus]

Hi there cody

I did not know what OCD was and did a google search and found this site. About OCD | Obsessive Compulsive Foundation

This will help you understand and cope with helping your mom.

I pray that this will be healed by Jesus for your dear mom too.

God bless you :rainbow: :rose:

 

[Cody]

I would like to say that my mom is doing better. Thank you everyone for praying for her. All of you are such a blessing to me!

 

[ladylovesJesus]

All the glory goes to Jesus He is the great physician and healer.

Thank you Jesus for hearing and answering the prayers of your people for cody's mom. May she continue to improve in health.

God bless :rainbow: :rose:
