      From ak17 March 25

      May God bless you and keep you in perfect peace. Here are some encouraging healing bible verses to uplift you. Remember, faith moves mountains and you can get through anything in the name of Jesus. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Exodus 23:25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Psalms 6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed. Psalm 103:3-4 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies. Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Matthew 8:14-17 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

    • Close Infidelity

      After much suspicion, I read messages that were sent back and forth between my H and OW through MySpace Inbox on his page. They spoke on the phone several times a day for a while also. (They've never met in person.)We have been married 7 years, will be together over 8 & 1/2 years and we have two daughters together, as well as a stepchild each from our previous marriages. I am d-e-v-a-s-t-a-t-e-d!!!

    • Close Rape

      At the age of 15, I was raped by a school mate one night while we were all out with a bunch of other teens, drinking. I remember that there were people within a reasonable distance that could have helped me and didn't. Amazingly, I have in my mind, forgiven this person for what they have done to me. I just hope and pray that they have forgiven themselves, or at least acknowledge what they have done to me, and maybe others.

      Treatments

      Talking Considering
      I will find a professional to sit and talk with, and I hope that it will help me remember the whole experience, as I have blocked most of it out all these years.
    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I have suffered from occasional migraines since 1990. I have taken Fiorinal to ward it off at the first sign of onset. I also do fairly well taking 25 mg. of Phenergan, though it knocks me out. I recently tried Maxalt for my migraine, while hospitalized last Friday night, and it seemed to work the best for me so far. I now have 6 tablets of the Maxalt here at home, should I need to take it.

    • Open Parents of Children with ADHD

      Today my 7 yr. old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. We have been struggling with exactly what was going on with her. She was having trouble in school and her symptoms were getting worse. She has been prescribed Focalin XR, and will take her first dose tomorrow morning. I need to find all the information and support I can about this disorder. I already suspect my younger daughter may have it too. I want to understand what my daughter is dealing with and help her as much as I can, as her Mom.
