I am not really comfortable posting this here, but I know she can use the prayers.
This past Saturday night my Sister tried to take her life. She has suffered from bi-polar, and depression for most of her life(21 years old now). Since I have been saved, I have focused a lot of my witnessing on her. I have noticed that when I do, she seems to get worse. But, anyway...
So last saturday, she got in an argument with our older brother. They said things they should not have said. She got depressed, and guilt ridden for saying what she did. So she went in her room and took all of her zoloft. 13 pills total. She came out of her room and went to my mother and told her she was having a hard time breathing. She told my mother why, and they went to the hospital. The doctors said it was not enough to kill her, but they needed to keep her for observation. So she has been in observation since then, and should come home soon.
She has expressed remorse, and guilt for trying to do it.
She has come to a realization that she wants to help others who suffer from what she does.
We are hoping this is what brings her to God, and that she believes she can be free from her depression, through Christ. I think she is starting to see the light at the edge of the darkness.
I know we could use any prayers for her deliverance and healing, and for her eyes to be opened to the never ending love of Christ. I don't really know what else to ask for. I just want her to be safe, to be happy, to feel loved, and to find purpose in this life. I want her to be free from the chains of depression, and the constant struggle in her mind. I want for her to experience the joy and peace that Jesus brings.
My life changed the day she was born. We are 11 years apart, and I went from youngest to middle child in an instant. We were all so happy she was born. For me and my brother, we finally had a little sister. But it is hard being this far apart in age. I feel at times that I have failed her. I was so busy with my own life, that I didn't make time for her. Even though I promised to do so on many occasions.
Her life has been very difficult, and if I could have taken any of the pain she has been through, I would have gladly done so. Most of my life I would not change, the good, and the bad, but with my sister, I wish I could go back and do things differently. I wish I could just have been there for her when she needed somebody. But I was too busy. Now, I wish the same, but more so, I wish for her to know the Lord. He is the only one who will never let her down, and the only one who will always be there for her.
So please, she can use all the prayers you can muster.
My Mother and Father also could use your prayers in this. It has been really hard for my dad who has been through this before, with my grandmother. Taking her to shock treatments, of which when she came out of, she didn't even know who he was. I think my father fears the same thing will happen to his little girl.
As for my mom, supermom, who does everything. Truly the glue who holds this family together. She does so much for all of us, and is stretched so thin, I don't know how much more she can handle.
My brother, with his own feelings of guilt, which worsen due to his addictions. For his peace of mind, and that the Lord will open his eyes also.
My mom and I are the only believers in the family. I hope this will lead to my sisters coming to the Lord. When she does, if she can overcome all she goes through and suffers from, I believe my father will be close behind. My brother may be another story, but I will not give up hope. Through Christ all things are possible.
Thank you to all, or any who read this and can make time to pray for a few lost souls. I pray it won't be too much longer before my family all comes to the knowledge and saving grace of the Lord. Thank you all and may God bless you and keep you, and make His face shine upon you.

Father, asking that SavedByGraceMD's sister and whole family would come to know You. That he would be a shining light to them. That they would love You and grow in You. That You would help sister with any depression and her bi-polar disease. Help her each day in the ways that You know are best. Bless this mom also who works so hard for her family, and this dad who cares so, and also this older brother. Thank You Father for this family, and all that You do and will do. In Jesus precious name. Amen
