I couldn't believe my eyes when I read your post.....copied below:

Hi guys/gals, I usually post on other presciption drugs. I'm addicted to xanax --was addicted to Oxycontin, Oxycodone, and Soma, but kicked those about 12-15mons ago.........it was pretty tough but it was either kick the habit or loose my family.

Anyways I like this thread God is an unbelievalbe source of comfort and love. I posted this in the other prescription drugs thread to Elvis and Krya R U OK
I hope you guys get something out of it I know I did and so did Kyra (Tina).

I went to church this moring with my daughter and said some extra prayers for u and Tina (kyra). The service was so beautiful, even the songs were so calming to me today. Let me tell u the lyrics to this song they sang today, I felt as if it was being sung to me my God himself.....I thought of u too.:

I will come to you in silence,
I will lift you from all your fear.
You will hear my voice, I claim you as my choice,
be still and know I am here.
I am hope for all who are hopeless,
I am eyes for all who long to see.
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light, come and rest in me.
Don't be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name
Come and follow me, I will bring you home.
I love you and you are mine.
I am strength for all the despairing,
healing for the ones who dwell in shame.
All the blind will see, the lame will all run free, and
all will know my name.
Don't be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name
Come and follow me, I will bring you home.
I love you and you are mine.
I am the Word that leads all to freedom,
I am the peace the world cannot give.
I will call your name, embracing all your pain, stand
up, now walk and live!
Don't be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me, I will bring you home.
I love you and you are mine.

Sorry for the length, but for some reason this song just hit a nerve. I know that no matter what i've done, i am loved.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And so are you.
Talk to u soon.............Zodi

Zodi, I have typed those words to that song on here months ago. I had almost exactly the same experience with it. I went to see a play where a man playing Jesus sang the song, and I felt like I was the only one in the room with Jesus myself and he was singing it just to me. It meant so much to me, that I had to rush out to buy it so I could hear it repeatedly. I played it all the way to my first interview in over 20 years, and it gave me the courage to go through with it and get the job. It has helped me COUNTLESS other ways. I'm so happy to hear that someone else has been touched by this very special song as I have been. I am going to post this on the inspirations thread too, but I wanted to make sure you didn't miss it. Hope the message of the song continues to bring you great joy as it has me.

Love,
Susan

Good Morning Tina, hope ur doing good..........I'm a little down today.

Susan, I heard that song at church last weekend and just had to share it. I felt so loved that Sunday morning....And thank you for reminding me of it. I had a bad day yesterday and that was exacly what I need to lift my mood.

This board is incredible, just when u r feeling pretty low, something new just surpises u and gives u encouragemdnt.

Hope u all have a great day.
Dear Zodi,

It's great finding someone who loves "my song" as much as I do!!! My kids know it means so much to me that my daughter arranged for it to be played at the beginning of her wedding when I was to walk in. For some reason the organist decided to rearrange things and I didn't even get a chance to enjoy my cousin singing it because it started when we were still doing last minute preparations. It was still sweet that she wanted to do that for me. I hope it continues to remind you how special you are to God. I'm glad I was able to help lift your spirits. God bless!

Love,
Susan
Zodi,

I know people r addicted to that song it is so expressive and easy to understand the meaning of God. I have it right here on my computer table.

Glad to see ya here today. Just wrote u a e-mail.

U get some rest today girl. I know u r exhausted and that is not good for your taper. Good hot bath and night for a while even if is daylight.

Love ya,
Tina
Tina I'm going to just chill today....Nothing but being a couch potatoe.

Susan, that was so thoughtful of your daughter, that song is beautiful and tells u just how much we're love, no matter what.

I'll catch up with you guys later, my daughter is just itching to get online.
Unbelievable, I love that song and want it sang at my memorial service, whenever that is. And no, nothing is wrong with me except being an addict and chronic pain. Bad enough, though.
Stay strong,
Donna
Dear Kansasgirl,

I want it sung at my memorial service as well. It is such an important part of my life because even though I have always known that God loves me, this song was the first time I strongly FELT His love. What a wonderful gift!

Love,
Susan
Yes that song is special. It would be a beautiful song for a memorial service---
BUT lets focus on it's lyrics now. I'm going to start reading the lyrics every morning as I get up and every night before I go to sleep, as a reminder that no matter what I've done or have not done I am loved unconditionally.

I know part of recovery is getting over feeling so guilty for what we've done to ourselves and to our loved ones.........this song just reminds me that God loves me no matter what and has forgiven me.

I hope this makes sense to you. Your all in my prayers.
