“I am finding that as I meet regularly with Lizabeth, the cycling, the natural highs and low that come with mental health issues, have begun to improve, by refocusing my mind on God’s word and God’s will for my life. Lizabeth helps me combine the theory I already know with her knowledge of God’s word and his grace to a new level of applying truth to my life, helping me face my past and to deal with my life in reality in new and God honoring ways. Lizabeth models what real honest relationships are supposed to look like.”

“Without Lizabeth’s work through MMI, I don’t believe I would still be alive today. Having a history of depression and after a painful divorce and losing custody of my children, I felt like my life was over. I had no purpose or value. Planning suicide, the unforgivable sin, by starving myself, my family had me hospitalized. Afterwards, when unable to work due to a disabling disease, and seeing psychiatrists, psychologists, secular counselors, support groups, inpatient treatments and, after many antidepressants nothing touched my problems, I resorted to isolating myself again except when with my children. Lizabeth has been counseling me for over a year now for depression, anxiety, and panic attacks as well. I was raised as a Christian, but I had lost my way in life. She has been helping me understand how my anger at God, myself and others has deeply affected me, how I had made my mother and my children the idols in my life, the things I lived for instead of my personal relationship with Christ. Learning how to pray, how to receive forgiveness from God for myself and to forgive others, as well as learning to make God the person I live for and find my identity in, has changed my life. I am still a work in progress and meet with Lizabeth weekly. Although I still have my dark days, I have a renewed faith, knowing God is with me always and I now see my purpose clearer and the important job of letting my children and others see God’s work in me.”

“Merciful Ministries was an unexpected blessing! A friend referred me to Lizabeth and her counseling ministry. Having never attended counseling previously, I did not know what to expect, but felt compelled to try it. I am incredibly grateful for the biblical-based guidance and care. Merciful Ministries is challenging me to deepen my devotion to and relationship with Jesus, while also equipping me to handle challenges and obstacles in healthier, more God-honoring ways.”
