NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW BAD YOUR CURRENT SITUATION GOD CAN BLESS YOU!
I first discovered the Christian Forums shortly after received the shock of separation from my wife. Had it not been for the victory of Christ's intervention through the intercession and support of the true Christian's on this site and across the Christian world community day and night for several weeks I KNOW that I wouldn't be here today.
I hit rock bottom. After weeks of gut wrenching tears and even more weeks of agonizingly painful anxiety attacks I found myself driving home from VA and planning my final plans. You heard me and God heard me. Your support gave me the courage to seek medication the next day to snap me out of the situational anxiety. Within 24 hours the difference was startling.
For those undergoing trials, hardships, stresses, depression, anxiety, divorce, separation or WHATEVER the situation or HOWEVER hopeless things may seem there is a world of true Christians out there that care about you and our God and Savior who love you and know exactly what you are experiencing. NEVER consider a permanent solution to a temporary problem no matter how hopeless your situation may seem. Whether emotional, physical, mental, or situational your problem that seems to have you at the bottom of a bottomless pit may well be your opportunity to look up into the face of the LORD.
I wanted to die. I wanted to be free of the pain and the seemingly endless betrayal and disappointment of the world. I felt that I had done everything that I evr really cared to do in my life and saw a future of nothing but isolation, loss, more hurt and disappointment. I believed the lies of the enemy simply because I was too weak and to exhausted to think otherwise. Of course the enemy's lies made sense; he is the master of lies and deception. But the good people of the Christian Forums reminded me that there is one greater and not only did they care, but HE cares. THAT gave me that first bit of strength to look for the help I so very much needed before I could even begin to walk the road of healing and recovery.
You folks gave me the strength I needed the next day to get some anxiety medicine and the medicine brought me the first sleep I had had in many weeks. I awoke refreshed and the healing had already begun. Since that time I have recognized the need to take things very slowly, but far more importantly I have rediscovered my prayer life and the need of daily communion. Too, I have been blessed with the daily ministry of 106.9, an incredible Chirstian ministry of the Billiy Graham ministries. Now, I listen to wonderful messages day and night and let their music be an extenion of my own prayer as the words of the songs often reflect and lift up my own celebration and the messages serve to teach...and often convict me of areas in need of repair. For the first time in years my prayer life has blossomed as I talk with and listen to the LORD two to four hours per day.
I find myself growing both in strength and faith and, thank GOD, my own communion has helped me to place God in the proper place in my life, before anything or anyone else. With GOD at the center all else will fall into place. Somehow, I know that this is what Jesus wanted for me. Unlike in a faerie tale I have still probably lost my wife of one year and the farm I valued so dearly, but, in exchange I have that which I had longed for even more for countless years...a real communion with our LORD and now a new faith that promises so much more in the years to come.
I still don't have a job yet, I still will lose much of what I had worked for, my marriage is over, there are still trials to come and I have no idea what tomorrow will bring..BUT, I have once again that which I foolishly surrendered when once pursueing a collar at the expense of an annointed ministry. I now have JESUS, I have God's love, and I, PRAISE GOD, am once again already seethe seeds of an annointed ministry of simply loving, helping, caring and being there for others....just as YOU and HE did for me.

I'm so glad that everything has worked out under God's love and care. You have indeed let God turn this into your blessings.
