Help needed

[Starrlight]

I’m in an extremely heavy feeling spot on my path...reality changes with how we think so much but I can only control so much ...I try my hardest to see ... I hope to recover from this ASAP ...going off some meds that I have to recall is going to suck! It’s not my fault like I sometimes feel. My heart is hurting in my chest and I need help getting through...but there’s nothing no one to save me not even me... it seems every moment I am in need I mean it’s ridiculous to be in so much ongoing pain... but I have to be stronger and stronger as I go and I have to gain that power for myself and my family. I need help. But I don’t know what that help is. Somehow I am getting everything done and there. Is. A. lot.

The worst part can be waiting.

[Starrlight in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

What waiting for the heaviness to leave or waiting for something bad to happen?

[AlLeYkAt86- in reply to Starrlight]

Waiting for change.

[Starrlight in reply to AlLeYkAt86-]

Yes definitely

Dear Starr,

Pain of any kind can be debilitating. And depressing.

Did you know angels travel at tremendous speeds, far exceeding the limits of the physical world. When Daniel was praying, God dispatched an angel to answer his prayer; and the angel arrived within moments, even before the prayer was concluded.—Daniel 9:20-23.

How comforting this is !

[Starrlight in reply to newbie56]

That is beautiful. I had a productive day and there were moments when I thought to myself and wow I prayed for that and it happened. I felt lifted. Yes that is comforting. Thanks for being here and for being you. ❤️

But in the prayer about the prophesies the angel was delayed a bit because he was fighting an evil spirit. Angels fight for us.

[Starrlight in reply to Nom-D-Ploom]

Cool yeah like the archangels Michael and Gabrielle.

So I’m not going to let the anxiety ruin the rest of my life. They will help me fight. 🙏 thank you for your comment😊

[newbie56 in reply to Starrlight]

Starr, you are correct about Gabriel.

HE WAS the angel to come quickly to help Daniel

The Bible shows that in order to accomplish God’s will, angels have at times provided a measure of protection for true worshippers. (Psalm 34:7)

A few examples:

When Jehovah brought destruction on the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, angels helped righteous Lot and his family to flee.​—Genesis 19:1, 15-26.

In ancient Babylon when three young Hebrews were condemned to die in a fiery furnace, God “sent his angel and rescued his servants.”​—Daniel 3:19-28.

After the righteous man Daniel spent the night in a den of ravenous lions, he explained that he had survived because “God sent his angel and shut the mouth of the lions.”​—Daniel 6:16, 22.

An angel opened the doors of a prison and directed the apostles imprisoned there to continue preaching in the temple.​—Acts 5:17-21.

An angel instructed the evangelizer Philip to go to the desert road that ran from Jerusalem to Gaza and preach to an Ethiopian who had gone to Jerusalem to worship.​—Acts 8:26-33.

Did you know that Christ’s disciples are doing a special work under the supervision of angels?

This is very heartwarming to me <3

When the servant of Elisha was afraid of the enemy Elisha prayed and the servant was able to see the vast army of angels surrounding them.

It was also an angel that protected Baalam's donkey.

The word angel is the same as evangel. It means, "sent out." They are sent out to deliver messages, and to do specific works.

[newbie56 in reply to Nom-D-Ploom]

As I recall...

The angel appeared on the road three times. Balaam could not see the angel, but Balaam’s donkey could. First the donkey went off the road into a field. Then the donkey moved up against a stone wall, jamming Balaam’s foot against it. Finally the donkey lay down in the middle of the road. Each time, Balaam hit the donkey with a stick.

After the third time, Jehovah made the donkey speak. The donkey asked Balaam: ‘Why do you keep hitting me?’ Balaam said: ‘You made me look stupid. I would kill you if I had a sword.’ The donkey said: ‘You’ve ridden me for years. Have I ever treated you this way before?’

Then Jehovah let Balaam see the angel. The angel said: ‘Jehovah warned you not to curse Israel.’ Balaam said: ‘I did wrong. I will go back home.’ But the angel said: ‘You can go to Moab, but you may say only what Jehovah tells you to say.’

Had Balaam learned his lesson? No. After that, Balaam tried to curse Israel three times, but each time Jehovah made him bless them instead. Eventually, the Israelites attacked Moab, and Balaam was killed. Would it not have been better if Balaam had listened to Jehovah in the first place?

[Nom-D-Ploom in reply to newbie56]

Too true. God uses the useless to get the best results. I like the fact that the angel told Balaam that if the donkey had obeyed him the donkey would have lived, but Balaam would have been killed.

[newbie56 in reply to Nom-D-Ploom]

Ahh, yes, Nom-D-Ploom,

Then the angel said “Do not be afraid, O Daniel.

Your words have been heard from the first day that you gave your heart to understanding and to humbling yourself before your God, and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the royal realm of Persia stood in opposition to me for 21 days. But then Michael, one of the foremost princes, came to help me; and I remained there beside the kings of Persia..." Dan. 10:13

( chilling that even angels must fight against wicked forces )

My we never underestimate the angels ability to act in our behalf.
