When I first started this prayer request I was asking for prayer but instead it turned into a discussion where people was telling what they think I should do. I felt insecure about posting this anyways, but even after I slept on it I still feel insecure about it. I decided to remove my opening text, delete my responses and close the discussion. Thank you to those who did what I asked and prayed for me.

Gregory, you believe which means God has visited you and you have been awakened. I pray that you will find that purpose or reason for which God placed you in His family. I pray that the eyes of you heart may be opened and see that good and perfect will of God. You have been granted faith which is reason to bless the Lord in itself. Bless you as you continue on this road of discovery. In Jesus name.
Gregory, have you spoken with a doctor? You seem to be battling depression over your circumstances. While the Bible is full of good advice about dealing with our circumstances, there are times that if it gets too bad, we may need to seek medical help. Especially with the talk of death. God doesn't want us considering that option and if it's at that point, that you're even thinking it, you should try and get some help with it. I've been there, believe me. And the medication they have finally hit upon for me has been working tremendously. I still have moments, and I cry to God, but I can praise Him more and more, even through the difficulties at times.
Remember when the woman with the issue of blood came to Jesus, He never once condemned her for all the money she spent on doctors. Jesus even used the analogy that "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." Why would He refer to doctors and sick if He was condemning that?
I've tried for several years. These types of medications are hit and miss, trial and error. You have to come upon the right combinations and dosages.
Gregory, as always, I'm praying for you brother. I love you dearly & you're very special to me. You're not worthless or useless because God has placed you in my life & you've touched me in many ways.
To add to Elaine's comment, they are always coming up with so many new methods daily. How long ago was it you seen your last doctor? 1 1/2 years ago a doctor was telling me I was too young for a knee replacement. Now they're telling me that technology has gotten so great that I should go for it now. I'm sure they've come up with new anti-anxiety medicines that work much much better then Xenex. Xenex is mostly used to make a person a zombie & it should only be temporary in my opinion. I've watched my daughter deteriorate on that stuff in just a few short years off of that poison & she's only 22. Praise God, she no longer takes it but it's still a daily temptation for her.
Another thing about your parents is they were raised back when floors were dirt. I'm not saying God can't heal you but God heals through physicians as well. Personally, if I had cancer, I'm going to fight it with every single med & treatment available until I've reached the end. I'm not going to sit back & say God is going to heal me without taking advantage of everything out there that is at my disposal & that He has blessed us with in our day & age.
No, it's not simple. I owe over $5K in medical bills and pay $45 every month just to get prescriptions that cost about another $40/mo. when I can barely afford to live. But the alternative? I was driving to work in a stuper, so tired that I was bound to run my car off the road if something wasn't done. Between the depression and rhinitis, which caused sleep apnea, sleeping 8 to 10 hours didn't fix it. I cried daily over every little thing. I'd close my door at work and just cry. I couldn't live like that and had to pay what I didn't have to pay. The doctors work with me as best they can, providing as many samples as possible. There are also bus systems for handicapped and elderly in most larger locations. I don't know about your area, but you might want to check into it and find out. It's all going to be dependent upon how you're doing without the help. If you think you can manage through it, that's no problem. But if it gets to be too serious, make a way anyway you can to seek some help for it.
