I moved a year ago to a nearby larger city. Now I regret the move. I am having trouble selling my condo, I am having depression and anxiety daily about work and I dont know what to do.

I just really need a clear word from God on what direction to take...do I move back? Do I stay and wait on the Lord? I just dont know.

I had just come off of some stress leave from work and had decided to changed cities/jobs when my job was cut. I thought the Lord was moving me in this direction but I may have been justifying what I wanted to do to try to feel better. Things went well for awhile but what I really need is to heal from what caused the stress ( death in the family, job loss) and to clear my head which is filled with everyone elses opinions.

Life can be difficult. There are times when we need to ask fellow Christians for their opinion, their advice. Praying all the while.

You are in my prayers at this time.
 
thank you Stephen

I feel much better. I know people are praying for me. The voices in my head seem to be down to a manageable number :)

I went to a new church today and the message was on Jonah. The pastor said Jonah thot he had died and gone to hell when he was in the belly of the beast. I feel the same way, except of course I know that I am alive.

God seems to be allowing some big time stress into my life, probably to get me back on my knees. I understand this. It is the pruning of the vine, the discipline a father gives to his children. I have just never been in such a dark and frightening place like this. I seriously feel like I am going crazy sometimes. Some things that I do one day, I look back on and think what was I thinking? I have been procrastinating like crazy for 2 months, even with things that would bring me money, if i just sent in the paperwork, but it all seems like too much effort. (apathy)

I wonder if my depression is back, but I dont want to be on those meds anymore, since I had good days (where I go thru closets and throw stuff away) to bad days ( where I cant find stuff and wonder if I just threw that away last week). My mind is in such turmoil, and I am getting advice from so many people, but I dont trust them because they are not Christians. And I know God speaks through non Christians but I feel that they are making more voices in my head instead of stilling the voices, so that cant be good right?

And I wonder about demons. I know they haunt us and whisper in our ears. Was it a demon convincing me to move to another city? My life is so crazy now. It is like just when I get myself together, got my praying times set up, got my devotion times organized and going steady and I really feel like I am top of things that I need to do to stay connected to God-and not by rote- i alternate to keep it interesting. Then WHAM!!! something happens and i end up in a valley of the shadow of death.

Thank you Stephen for praying for me. I just added all the above dialogue in hopes tha if anyone wanted to pray for specific help for me they could, or if they just wanted to see what the bad times look like then they can too. And like the pastor said, there will be bad times. It is good to get people praying for you so can deal with the bad times in the most Godly way possible- with the power of prayer.
 
Ya, maybe it was God's voice u heard to move, and He knew by getting you to move where you are, He could do some work on you. I know in Canada He couldn't have... But in Australia, He could.
