Encouragement?

[DixieBelle]

Have you ever felt like you've had a whole week of Mondays? How about a whole year? I'm going through just such a time. Not to say that the whole year has been nothing but bad or anything like that, but there have just been a lot of hard times in a lot of different aspects of my life and there doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel and I don't know how I'm going to make it through. Every time I feel like I'm getting the tiniest grip on things, then it seems like things just go doubly wrong...ya know, like I can't win no matter what I do. I'm not giving up, but at the same time it sure gets hard keeping on keeping on sometimes (tonight being just such a time!). I'm sure I'm not the only one, so I come speaking on all our behalf...if any of you out there have a word of encouragement to share, I know I sure could use it and I'm sure others in similar situations could too.

May God bless us all!

hi there my name is Lee.
well i know how much a person can need some encouragment sometimes.
and if you need help i want to be there for you in anyway i can, i am glad i noticed this before it slipped to the second page so i could make sure you didnt go without a reply.
i know you dont know me but i promise i dont mean you any harm and i hope your ok. you can PM me anytime, i will try my best to be there if you ever need something that i have.

well heres something that encourages me.
luke 16.33
these things have i spoken unto you that in me ye might have peace.
in the world ye shall have tribulation:
BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER (or be encouraged! ) I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD.

Jesus promised us that it would get rough, but he told us to be encouraged, hes already defeated all these things, and so there is nothing he wont see us through! PRAISE GOD!
when it gets hard, you cry out to the Lord with your burdens.
and remember that paul that he reckoned that nothing he went through would be able to compare for what was waiting for him on the other side. ITS ALL WELL WORTH IT!
and dont forget, your not alone in this, when it gets ruff there are people to talk too, becuase we all go through the same stuff.
i mean, PM if you feel comfortable and ill do everything i can to pray and help, and if i cant help you ill help you find someone who can.

ah, and im sorry if i made you out to be needing alot of help that you didnt actually need, i wasnt undermining you esteeming that you dont already know anything i promise.

well, be encouraged.

Weeping may endure for the nite, but in the morning you'll be alright. Just hold on, your morning is coming.
This too shall pass
Just hold on, and look up to Jesus coz I know He's gonna pull you through
Blessings

My dear, I understand the position of one being very discouraged. I am feeling that way right now. But I always console myself by reminding myself that no matter what happens, there is one person who will never change yesterday, today and tomorrow, and that person will love, accept and respect you forever for who you really are, that person is Jesus. Take heart, my dearest!

Thanks y'all, for all your kind words. Sorry its taken me so long to respond back here, but please know that I appreciate each of you for responding. Here's a passage from Romans 8 that's meant a lot to me in recent times:

"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves...and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is working into something good."

May God bless each of y'all for taking the time to share your words of encouragement.

Dixie Belle,

I can relate. This year has been the hardest for me that I have lived. It seems like one constant run of Mondays. I can tell you this, that if you keep looking to Jesus, day by day it will get better. It doesn't seem to happen overnight, but it will slowly get better.
