Praise the Lord, I'm suffering IGA Nephropathy since a year. I'm under steroid medication since then. My condition is really getting worse day by day due to the side effects of steroids. I'm gaining a lot of weight and people are asking me the reason for it. I also get angry very often. I'm unable to pray eventhough I'm a boring again spirit baptized Christian. I show lack of interest towards prayer. Most of the times I cry and get depressed saying I have such a worst sickness in my body. My parents re also sick. I worry more about the future since I'm just 21 years old now. I'm unable to share my pain and agony with any of the church mates or pastors as they take it in a very different way by letting everyone else know about my sickness. I'm really crying every day and night. Please please pray for my recovery. One pastor told me that I've been hit by black magic that I should be sick and never get married in life. Kindly pray for me. I'm struggling a lot. Thanks for listening to me when no one else are ready to listen to me. Thank you. Praise the Lord!

Lydia, my prayers are with you, I'm not trying to judge but it sounds like you may need to find another church, we are to be there for each other, carry each other's burdens and encourage one another, not tear each other down. I am disabled and have alot of pain and suffered from depression and anxiety, I was a hot mess even though I am on medication, but I turned to the Lord for help I started looking up scripture on depression and anxiety and read and reread and re-read those verses and prayed and prayed and prayed some more and God has delivered me. I am still on my meds but God has given me a peace that surpasses all understanding. Look up scripture on all your going through and read it again and again and again and pray, pray pray and pray some more. Don't loose faith, don't loose heart, keep your eyes on God He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. God has not given us a Spirit of fear but of love and power and a sound mind. Keep the faith keep seeking God, keep your eyes and mind on God. May God bless you and your family, give you strength and guidance.

Thanks a lot Kim!!! Praying for you too.
