In times of Trouble

Psalm 37:39  But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.


March 3

Where would we be without the book of Psalms ? If there is any part of my Bible with the most tears staining the pages it is there. I often recommend the Psalms to people who are hurting, and not just because there is much healing there, but because there is a picture of one who hurt and made it through. Think about this; if King David never went through trials and struggles then we would not have the book of Psalms to lean on. As you read the book of Psalms you quickly notice that people have problems, people have pain, people are sad, but yet God brings them through. That is why you will see me use the book of Psalms so much in this devotional. There is not a better place to find help in times of trouble. But again back to David who was no stranger to trouble; I find it hard to understand how one could read the book of Psalms as well as most of the entire Bible and not understand that life is hard  and filled with troubles. I listen to some of the famous preachers out there today and marvel how they promise us a life of smiles when the Bible promises us a life of trials. Maybe their reading the NUV; the (New Utopia Version)? I say that with tongue in cheek incase you didn’t get my sarcastic humor. All through the Bible we read of tribulations, we read of people betraying us, people hurting us, lives lost and sickness overcoming us- it is truly a symptom of the universe to have troubles but dear friend- Our God is a help in those times of Trouble. And more then a help he is deliverance , salvation, and peace of mind. In Psalm 37 we read of the Lords strength in times of Trouble. The Lord doesn’t just take our hand and help us cross the street, no He becomes our strength to cross that street. Notice also that this strength of the Lord is for the righteous which means we better make sure our hearts are right with our Lord in order to get that strength. Today be thankful that our Lord is our strength, He is our God and our King. More then that He is able, able to do what He promises to do. Today embrace your day with His strength and leave yours at home. We simply need to believe that He is and He will enable us to do the rest.

Chapter 5

When Ending It All Appears So Appealing

 (Yes Christians think about suicide)

Job 3:1-3  After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
  And Job spake, and said,
  “Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.”


Today we begin a journey into the darkest place of all; that is that place of contemplating suicide. Though thinking about taking your own life is bad enough what is also sad is how many Christians there are who don’t thinks it is possible for a believer to even think of such a thing. If there is a taboo in Christian circles there is certainly one in this area. Dear friend before I move on with this chapter I want to vent here a bit with the hopes that I don’t offend anyone even though I probably will. Sometimes the worst people I have ever encountered are Christians themselves. If there is anything that is a liability to Christ’s work, it is how we take His wondrous love, grace and salvation and trample all over it by our pious self-righteous, hypocritical lives. Yes I said it- Christians are sometimes the worst examples of Christ and do more damage to the Gospel than even an Atheist can do. We are truly our own worst enemies. We judge others even though we have been forgiven of all. We live like the world and yet complain about the world that we really and secretly miss being a part of. We fight among ourselves over trivial things to the point that churches split over them. We are sneaky, nasty, and so far from where Christ longs for us to be. We dress, talk, and act like the world while claiming to be followers of Christ. We have our pet peeves of certain sins that we like to march and protest about but yet feel no remorse for our own sins of lying, lusting, greed, pride, laziness, and inconsistency in what we say we believe. When it comes to things like depression and anxiety we are so quick to point a finger, and accuse a person of not having enough faith. What’s worse is that all these traits come right down from our pastors and leaders. Every day another one bites the dust and falls. We say you need more faith while our own faith is far from perfect. We choose what we seem as important while tossing Christ’s Will and desires out the door. Sometimes I watch preachers on TV and at certain venues or online churches and say to myself “if I was an unsaved person this bozo is the last person I would turn to, and Christianity is the last place I would run”. Have you sat back and watched ourselves and then wonder why we are the laughing stock of the world and media. No it is not because we are proclaiming the Word of God that we are attacked but because we are hypocrites and fools. I personally don’t think that the average church service today is anything like Paul would have approved of. We have made church into a business and used the world’s tricks to do it.
Ok I am done with my rant but I needed to set the stage for why things like depression and mental issues in the church are so stepped on and over while we claim to be beacons of love and understanding. It is like we are trying to hide the fact that we are sinners by pushing our dirty laundry out the door. Dear friend, when you become a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ you don’t stop being human. Sure some pastors and teachers on TV try to sell you that lie. They try to sell this vision of us becoming superheroes the minute we come to Christ. Well just read your Bibles and you will see that becoming a follower of God doesn’t make one better than anyone else or exempt us from problems.
Depression is real, suicide is real, and shame on us if we are ashamed of our own people for not being able to part the seas the day after they are baptized in the Holy Spirit through believing in Christ. We fall, we are tempted; cut us and we still bleed. I feel that the moment the church of Jesus Christ starts acting like Christ, is the moment we will become real to the world and not a joke.
So let us begin this discussion on depression now and try to understand its varied dynamics, causes, and treatments. If you have lived, you have thought about not living. From the casual thoughts of –“what’s the point? I wish I was never born” to the all-out desire to end it all. Dear friend I have been there and if I was not, I could not honestly write about such a thing as suicide. I have been there all the way with death just seconds away. My first time was with a gun in my hand, bullets loaded and a note left for my family. I spent many hours lying in bed with tears trying to figure out the best way to take my life and then running through every scenario of the aftermath and what people would find and say. I planned on killing myself in a garage with exhaust fumes, to jumping off a roof, to driving my car off the side of a road. There was a time when it was all I could think about and focus on. I was sneaky, quiet, and deceptive. This wasn’t a cry for help or to get noticed it was a genuine desire to leave this life and be with the Lord. So those who know what I am talking about know that I know about this darkest demon of depression. See, depression has one goal in Satan’s mind and that is to get us to take our lives. It is Satan’s favorite desire and will of human kind. If he could have a mass suicide he would, which is why you find those cult mass suicides so often found around a corrupted Christianity or religious group.
Let us now go over suicide and what brings us to that place, how we can turn around from that place, and even how we can be blessed by that place. First off, if you are, or have ever thought about taking your life, you are not insane or ready for the loony bin. If so, then Elijah, David, King Saul, Job, and so many great people of faith would also be ready for the loony bin. Maybe they didn’t so much plan it but at the least thought of having had enough of this place. No, suicide is not so much the issue but why you are there.

Step 4 ( WHAT IF )

Welcome back

Its step 4 before we end it all...

Well I hope you have been following my Blog in regards to Depression Anxiety and Suicide.

I hope you have been going through the steps before you think of taking the last step

AND

Today we begin step FOUR

Dear friend- I know your in pain, your feeling like this darkness will never leave.

Everyone has an answer but nothing ever works

Your tired of fighting each day just to make it through that day

Your tired of getting up in the morning and hoping it was all a dream

Your tired of life, living, and this pain that no one see's but you

Well -

I know the thoughts of ending it all are very real

They make you think of freedom and release

but

WHAT IF 

What if there is something on the Other Side of taking your life

What if there is a God

There is a Heaven 

There is a Hell

There is a Satanic being calling you over to it

Dear friend - if your not 10000% sure of what is behind that door

What is on the other side of midnight

Well

You just might end up in a worse situation then your in now

Maybe even 10000 times worse

Well

You could say - I dont believe in that garbage of God and Heaven

Well - WHAT IF your Wrong ?

What if there is an escape from this pain without having to end your life

What if Religion is NOT the Answer but God is 

Today - right where you are..think on this thought again

WHAT IF - 

Next time in step 5

We will explore the Question of 

God or No God

We will weigh the evidence and truth

The Lies and Realities

I wont tell you one single thing to do

I will leave that ALL up to you

BUT

You deserve the truth once and for all

SR Kraniak

Step 2 in the quest to find hope healing and new life

Today we take the second step as we broach the dark waters of depression anxiety and suicide.

In the last two sessions we talked of the deep gloom and even escape that suicide might afford but we found it is wrought with pit falls and lies. 

So today we take the next step in keeping us from taking the step that has no other step to follow.

Friend and dear sufferer like me. Before you make that last and final choice of choices I ask you to do some hoop jumping. No not those kinds of hoops but life hoops. I ask you to accomplish just a handful of instructions and hear me out . 

So

Before you give it all up .....

a) take a drive or walk to the closest thing that is nature. Go to the ocean , the lake, the beach, the river. Go to the mountains or open meadows. Simply find a quiet place where nature is clear. If you live in the city try a city roof where there is quiet and stars can be seen

b) take this trip alone and plan on doing some walking. Plan on no less then 1 hour. More is better

c) on this trip I want you to start looking around at nature and life and start asking questions. Questions like why am I here and what is this all about. Where did I come from and where am I going. Keep reminding yourself that your on a big round planet floating quickly through space . On a round ball that is tilted at 1/3 degree angle - why ?  Look at the stars flowers moon and listen to the sounds

d) now start talking out loud. Get angry if you must and start getting angry at God - (is there is one)?

Yell at Him and lay out your anger at how your life ended up.. let it all out every pain and sorrow.

e) then when your all done stop talking and listen again.  Being very quiet is very important. Imagine your ears are getting bigger and bigger. every sound is becoming more clear.

f) then go home and think about what you saw heard and felt.

We will continue step 3 next time

Take the 1st Step.....the rest are coming soon Pt 2 of a series on ending it all

Last time together I did and introduction for people on the edge...

I was and have been on that edge so I know it with very fiber of my being.

I know what I'm talking about 

So this segment will be about taking the first step to healing. The first step to not going over that waterfall to darkness.

Dear friend and fellow sufferer  - if you are there I want you to consider these few questions before you take that last breath.

 A) Do you really know whats on the other side ?

 B) What if this year was the break through year ?

 C) What about the people you leave behind ? 

D) What if it doesn't work and you wake up in the hospital in a worse condition then you were before ? 

E) What if there really is a God and He hates suicide more then anything ? 

F) What if there is an Evil one who wants you to take your life and He is the voice you are hearing in your ear ?

These are all part of step 1.  Please hold on as every few weeks we get closer to the real solution and a whole knew life .

SR Kraniak

If your thinking about SUICIDE today !!!

Lets talk about taking our lives.

I bring this up because a neighbor of mine just hung himself. Was about 65 and just didn't want to go on. 
For those of you who have been there you know the deal. It gets old, life gets tired, the anxiety is a living Hell, people don't understand, the love life is non existent and money is almost gone.
You think of your future and you see nothing but darkness. You wonder who will really care if you were gone - you wonder if you will really find peace on the other side.

You think of many ways of doing this, they run through your head constantly. 
Driving down the road you wonder about just driving off the edge. In time it becomes an obsession that you cant get out of your head. Facing one more day is just too much to bare. Your angry, bitter and if there is a God you wish you could spit in His face.  

Night time is your best time because you know its an excuse to sleep. Oh sleep just to sleep and wake up that is was all a bad dream.  The morning comes and its the worst time for you.. It only means you have to face it all over again.

You wonder why life has to be this way. It started out OK as a child and then you wonder how you ended up so cold, empty, alone and afraid. Your tired of crying till you cant cry anymore and you don't even have the strength to shower or dress and don't even care. 
You've either gained so much weight that you cant stand yourself or you have lost so much weight that your a sick looking shadow of what you once were. 
You have tried so many medications that you wonder if your Dr really knows what he is doing.

You've read all the books, and tried all the get better fast tricks and all were a lie.

Your tired of people telling you to just snap out of it, to just smile, to be happy or those who tell you your just faking so you don't have to face the real world. Your tired of letting everyone down 

You think your the ugliest person to walk the earth and you hate everything about you. You tried drugs and drinking to hide the pain. You try cutting and self harm and they are all just a temporary fix which just leaves you back where you started. You see the scars on your body and wonder which scars are worst the ones on the outside or inside. You watch people in life who have lives, and are smiling  and their joy only makes your darkness feel worse. Taking a breath sometime takes all that you are and in that breath its as if your breathing in the pain and sorrow. The depression is actually a heavy feeling that centers around your heart and chest area. You don't ask for much - just to be happy, normal, loved, held and cared for. Is that too much to want to just be happy ? You look in the mirror and cant even believe how far you have fallen. 

You've followed every fad in order to fit in or stand out. From hair color to styles from chains leather and lust to flowers balloons and poems. Yet nothing changes and your just another day older.

For the girls you sold your bodies and souls just to simply be loved only to be lied to and abused by one guy after another. You've done things to get love that your ashamed of but if it gave you a moment of peace maybe you think it was worth it.

For you guys - you have also tried to find love but have been burnt too many times. Next thing you know your only friend is your porn and your sexual addition that brings joy for 7 minutes and then leaves you empty and feeling dirty- You have masturbated until you bled .The rush fades and your back to your empty self of pain.

So - where does that leave us ? Why am I writing this to you ? Whats my purpose ?

Well dear friend I write this to you tonight because I know that all over the world there are people just like you. You want answers and you want hope.

I know that there are people right now - Maybe you in Russia, China , USA, France, or anywhere out there just wanting someone to understand and say - Come my child I will take away the pain.
Yet you dont believe it because all your hope and trust in people is gone.

Well - There is an answer, there is hope and there is a solution and its NOT suicide !  See Suicide in not a solution but an action. It moves you from point A to point B but you really dont know what that point B is and that scares you. 

So with all of that said -
If your interested in a step by step process to break out and break free and be whole again- well let me know and follow this Blog Series that I am starting today..

So - HOLD ON and tune in.. every few days I will give you a  little bit more of the secrete and in the mean time my request from you is - HOLD ON ONE MORE DAY...

Hold on and KNOW that you can be set free. Hold on an know that someone really does love and care for you...

What God wants from you - its really not that much, but oh what He gives

"God wants you to be in a much closer relationship with Himself than simply receiving His gifts—He wants you to get to know Him. Even some large thing we want is only incidental; it comes and it goes. But God never gives us anything incidental. There is nothing easier than getting into the right relationship with God, unless it is not God you seek, but only what He can give you.”
― Oswald Chambers

The Movie trailer for the Book set coming soon with great healing for all of us
