Mental Illness and Prayer

“We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;” ~ 2 Corinthians 4:8 NKJV It’s tough living with a mental illness, and yet I keep hoping and praying... Sometimes I’m praying for a sound mind, and sometimes the cry of my heart is... Help! Help! Help! I don’t always know what to pray; And sometimes I don’t know if I’d recognize the answers to my prayers standing right in front of me... Tonight, I sit silently, just waiting, yearning for God to move in my life in ways beyond my imagination...
