    End of the line

    Thanks to all of you for your helpful comments. It has given me much to think about. I realize from reading the things you all wrote that my own pain is not the center of what is going on. It feels like it is at the time but that is because pain is so hard to deal with. It makes it seem like...

    End of the line

    I am not sure where I should post this but since I am depressed I chose the depression forum. I feel like I am just slowly dying and I cant do anything to stop it. I have been sick for many years so my health is bad but thats not whats got me down right now. What has got me down is I see myself...

    Straightened out my life then bam

    I got baptized in 1981 and attended a church that was not real accepting of me. Reason was my husband did not attend and the church was more like a club for couples. But I went because I thought it was what God wanted me to do. I wanted to teach my child about God. So I went. After awhile I...

    How do I let go?

    I am relatively new to this area and do not know anyone. The people I do know are Catholic and I do not have much confidence in priests.

    How do I let go?

    I lost my trust in churches and pastors because of a really bad experience with a church. I went for 15 years thinking I was doing the right thing for me and my child. They hurt us very much by making us feel like outcasts because we were not a complete family (I was and am married to the same...

    How do I let go?

    How do you let go? How do you let go and hand it over to God? I once was able to. It was a time when I was very sick and no one knew what was wrong with me and everyone expected I would die. I did almost die. It took me over 18 months to recover (not fully but by 18 months I was getting better...

    Every time I pray things get worse

    Thanks. Ive been real sick for days and unable to eat. The stress is getting to me. I don't compare myself to Job at all, he was a righteous man, I just don't see myself being that good. But I wish I could just do what he did, sit down somewhere and cover myself with ashes and wait it out. I...

    Pray for my grandchildren please

    Thanks. I also love your scripture quote. It is inspiring. "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever." - Psalm 30:10-12

    Sick of this:(

    I hope I can give you a good reason to live. I'll try and this isnt some story I am thinking up, it is real. God thought of you and in his great delight created your soul and put you here. You being here is important to him. You and I do not know the specific reason you are here, but there is...

    Pray for my grandchildren please

    Thanks. Although we did have a bit of good news today, we have another obstacle to get through tomorrow and for the next couple of months. I appreciate peoples prayers so much and ask you all to continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. Thanks for letting me know I am not forgotten.

    Every time I pray things get worse

    I tried to post here earlier saying thank you to the newer people posting that are praying for me but kept getting a forbidden access message. So I'm making this a bit shorter thanking you. I will say a family members life has been threatened by a cruel unstable unpredictable man and we have no...

    Every time I pray things get worse

    Thanks for your prayers. I am getting super paranoid now though. Last night I ended up in the ER for over 3 hours. Wasnt serious but I had to get a tetanus shot. Today I spent most of the day with diarrhea so bad it caused me to vomit also. It is over with but left me feeling very weak...
