“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understand, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4: 6-7)
Even though I am going through the change-of-life, my hormones continue to be wacky. For close to two weeks now, despite the daily supplements I take for this, I have been so irritable, very sensitive, depressed, hot and weepy.
I am pretty good at keeping this kind of thing in check. After all I have had plenty of practice most my life stuffing emotions. But, it has become hard. Breaking into tears, or flippantly saying something. So I repent and go on.
Experiencing "the change" is nothing like going through the usual PMS. For me it seems worse!
Prayer for any of you who need this:
Heavenly Daddy, thank You that when the world and people causes me to feel anxious, when hormones make me feel all crazy inside, I can lay all things at Your feet–and You will guard my heart and my mind and give me peace. What a great exchange, God–my anxiousness for your peace!
:s I have issues when the time of my month comes. I can't imagine having to go through this on a regular basis from 'the change'.
ReplyDeletePraying for you girl.

i LOVE that verse. especially the 'transends all understanding' part. it's so cool that God will give us a peace that doesn't even make sense given our current situation. hehehe...He is so good...
ReplyDeletethanks for posting just the right thing!
Our hormones go crazy in our teens and then 30 years later *sigh*. That's a great prayer and I'll say it!
ReplyDeleteTrading everything for the love of the Lord!!! Yes! Even PMS that milk does not cure (I remember the ad). Be strong in God's mighty power always JBR!
ReplyDeleteWe women are like that. affected by our hormones, but thanks be to God, he understands us. He created us this way. And as long as we are aware of it, we can tackle everything with the help of God.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you are going through this. I know what that's like. I hope you can get back on an even keel again soon.
ReplyDeleteSt John's Wort and Black Kohosh did it for me.
ReplyDeleteSigh. Here come those words again, my friend: I can relate. Thank you for the prayer...I needed that. My hormones have gone crazy too!
ReplyDeletePraying for you, Grace. God bless!
I have hard time with regular really horrible PMS. Thank you for being open and sharing your faith! Hope things improve!
ReplyDeleteHormones can cause us so much grief...I am so sorry that you have been battling them. Just asking the Lord to touch you right now that your body chemistry may all line up perfectly, functioning how He designed it. Thank you Father that it is all in your control. Thank you for peace Jesus. Amen.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that. It seems to be never ending. Definitely try some of the natural herbs out there, they helped me.
