Will I ever feel better?

Psalm 38:15

He will answer!

Life is a b@!ch sometimes eh. I know how you might feel and I give you credit for praying and turning to the lord so much. When I was at my most troubled times which I still am but am just getting over I couldn't turn to him, I didn't see the point. He seemed to give everyone else atleast some idea he was their listening but to this day I have never felt comfort from him, well not really.
I think though, that he gives us these rough spots in our life to get through and learn our life lessons. I know that isn't what you want to hear, I sure didn't 2 months ago, before I tried to kill myself but I really think he lets these things happen so we learn.
I don't know what my point is and I don't know wether thishas come to any comfort to you but I will pray for you whenever I am able to get up the strngth to pray.

You know that cord on buses that you pull to tell the driver you want to get off at the next exit? You need to pull that cord.

God will never give you more than you can bear, but sometimes you have to tell Him when enough is enough. Go to the Father and tell him what you told us here, and ask Him to either lighten your load or send you some help to carry it all. He will answer that prayer. He has many times for me.

Keep praying and we'll keep praying for you, too! This too shall pass.

Life does seem to get pretty dark sometimes, but Yes it will get better. Trust in the Lord. Spill out to him the very depths of your heart, and tell him that you need him and cannot bear these burdens alone.

I think it is in Matthew Chapter 6, where Jesus teaches about worry. He says "Give no thought for tommorow". I know that you are worried about your baby, and your father, but give no thought about it. Don't let the worry of things that could happen in the future rob you of your peace and joy for today!! Turn these situations completly over to Jesus and let him take care of them. He will take care you. Jesus died for you, and he loves you dearly.

I know all of this is easier said than done, I've been there, we all have, but you just have to step out on faith, and trust. I will pray for you.

Are you trusting God? It seems like worrying about such things beyond your control, except work which you do control, is a waste of time. If you can't control it trust God with it.

I know all about "Enough Already!" Trust and believe. That's all I can tell you.

I felt blinded by my recent pain, even in my blindness, I held onto Jesus. So many times, I didn't have the words to pray, and fear would overcome my heart, all I had to do was say, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus." over and over again, and peace would still my fear. And you can't just do it one time, you have to do it over and over, every day. In Isaiah 55, God says, "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways." Which means I believe, he has a plan, and his plan is not always our plan. I lost my brother 8 weeks ago, to an inoperable brain tumor. Changed my life forever. Changed me, my oulook on life, my faith, changed me forever. Hurt unlike anything I have ever known. If my love, if my prayers, and all of the love and the prayers of thousands of people I know were lifting him up, could have kept him here, he would still be here today, I believe that with all of my heart. But God had a plan, and as a christian, I had to say, "Your will Father, not mine." And it wasn't easy. I wanted to hold onto him so bad, I wanted to keep him here with me, for me for his daughter, for my mama, I wanted to know why...God said because "I AM". It wasn't "I AM", in a because "I CAN" kind of way, it was "I AM" in a I'll get you through this, and you will come out stronger and we'll get through this together. I will carry you kind of way...And he still is.
Through this, one of the darkest times in my life, God gave me a song...it's by The Martins called - It didn't come to stay it came to pass. And it says, " If I should live by sight I would be beaten down, because I can't see past these walls of circumstance. But faith will be my substance and my hope is in the Lord, he will turn my sorrow into dance, ohhh he'll will turn my sorrow into dance. It didn't come to stay it came to pass, the Lord will move this mountain if you'll only ask, the trials that we see today won't last, it didn't come to stay it came to pass. " When he first gave me this song, I thought oh yes, the brain tumor, this mountain is gone. But God saw past the brain tumor. He saw many more mountains in my way, in my faith...and I believe in Him. In his ways. Even when they hurt. I Still hurt. I still cry every day. Just because I have accepted his will, doesn't mean the pain goes away. But I am getting through, I will get through this.

You will too. No matter what "His plan" which is higher than yours, has in store for you and your life, for the life of your unborn child, for your father, you WILL get through it. And the fear, you gotta give it to him, it's too big for you. It will only drag you down, give it to God.

Praying for you today and tomorrow and everyday...

This reminds me of that phrase

"If Jesus is your co-pilot, switch seats."
