Hi Everyone
This is kind of a prayer request/ get your thoughts thread. Right now, I covet your prayers as I am not feeling very strong. To make a long story short, here is what is going on.
I am on SSDI for Bipolar (I have been on the disability since 2009) and the current situation, is that I am in the process of going through a Continuing Disability Review. They sent me to a psychologist, and I am not sure where everything is going. Here is the deal, I WANT to work, even a part time job would make more than my check. I want to work and it is becoming very difficult because I do not have transportation. I live in the middle of nowhere, and the limited transportation we do have here, only runs Mon-Fri 9 - 6. It won't work for jobs that want evenings or weekends- which is going to be most jobs that I am qualified for. So not knowing what the future holds, and trying to continually lean on his promise that he will meet our needs (I know he will because he promises in HIS WORD that he will), I am standing on that. I do however still need your prayers, I feel myself slowly sinking toward a great depression again, and I just don't need that right now. I am getting back into reading the Word of God (though not as much as I should) and I realistically know that I will not be perfect in it, and I can accept this.
I sometimes lose focus of my identity in Christ, and forget that I am his child- and nothing can pluck me from his hands.... This is absolute truth, because we know The Bible is absolute truth- and we know that all things do work together for the good of those who Love him. But my question for everyone is, what works for you? When you hit those moments where you are just not sure where to turn, what do you do? I realize online may not be the best place for this, but I know that the depth of this- I am not comfortable sharing with many people in person. I appreciate any input- and definitely appreciate prayers.
Thanks
