Father God, I lift up every mother suffering from post partum depression to you this morning. Many of us are celebrating Mother's Day this weekend, but there are some mom's or expectant moms that wishes they weren't pregnant because of this mental health condition.
Usually, mothers experience the "baby blues" which lasts up to 2wks (irritabilty, restlessness, crying, etc.); however with post partum depression, the symptoms lasts longer, moms contemplate suicide, hurting their child and have the inability to care for their baby(ies). I ask that you heal them dear Lord right where they are and please remove this dark cloud out from up over their heads.
Please shine your light in their direction that their affect becomes brighter so that they may be able to bond joyfully with their child/children. May their spouse, or baby's dad be supportive but when they are not due to their unwillingness, or lack of understanding, please send these mothers the extra pair of nonjudgmental, compassionate, empathetic, and loving hands that will treat them with tender loving care until their change comes in the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
📝If you or someone you know is suffering from post partum depression, please speak with your primary health care provider, pastor, etc. for a referral to a therapist and/or a post partum new mother's group in your area. There is nothing to be ashamed of when there are those who specialize in this type of work and would love to help you through this difficult time.
God Bless!

Today, Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Lenten season. The lenten season is observed to better appreciate the death, and resurrection of Christ through self-examination, repentance, prayer, fasting, and self-denial. In addition, Ash Wednesday has another significant meaning for me. It was on this day, Ash Wednesday that the Lord brought me out of my induced coma in 2000, March 8th to be exact. Prior to that, I could only recall seeing my brother the night of the fire  in January who accompanied me in the ambulance while being transported to what was then called UMDNJ in Newark, NJ. On that Ash Wednesday, I can remember seeing both my grandmother and my mommy sitting in my hospital room. Grandma holding a can of Pepsi, and mommy doing something with my feet, lol. Probably clipping my toe nails. There is also that taste of chicken broth or soup I will never forget fed to me intravenously along with other fluids to sustain me while I was in a coma. Its been 16 years fr...

The Strength of God

"The Strength of God" Thank you Lord for the strength we have in You. Thank you God for the strength from day to day. We can rely on caffeine but eventually it runs out, we can rely on vegetables and vitamins to give us strength but my God, the strength we receive from You when we are weak nothing can n'er compare. The strength that comes from You can enable us to love when we are hated on, forgive when people mistreat us, show mercy even when it wasn't reciprocated, give even when we are down to our last dime, have joy in the face of sorrow, long-suffer with others that the world says we ought to give up on--the way you long-suffered with us. You give us the strength through faith to persevere and see what the end is going to be. You strengthen us for the journey when our knees start to shake and they feel like they are about to give out until we begin to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to strengthen us, to hold us up, to fill us up, to strengthen us for the journey. ...
