• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

god has forgottrn about me and my family. we are being punished, for what i dont know. each day brings something new to test us and make life harder.
all my prayers have been useless. no more. i give up. i want death to take me. maybe things would be better for all then, but happiness and calm will never be in my life again. my wife is very sick, i am broke, bills keep piling up, i owe taxes, my son is dying from cancer, my mother is 92 has no idea she is still alive or who she or we are and lives a pointless vegtable life in a nursing home. life makes no sense, god is not there. life make no point other than an intro to death, and that is held out like a unreachable goal. i am tired and cant take it anymore.

Dear friend...it is good to see you back on CF!

I am so sorry life has been so hard; you have a full plate :hug:

I sent you a pm so we can chat....and you have my phone # and email.

Be assured of my prayers that help will come to you in some way :crossrc:

I encourage you to call your pastor, doctor....get some support; you cannot do this all alone!

Praying for the Lord's mercy to be on you and your beloved *G* :pray:

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. Divine Mercy Prayer

you are and always been so kind. but i must end this schrade. god doesnt and hasnt cared for a long time. i dont know why. tears always tears, and they dont help. my wife take rx's and they are making her just carry on. nothing makes any sense. maybe its she is going mad. i know i am. nothing helps. i give up. it has become to difficult. thanks for your call but i cant talk. gracia was talking back to the phone message like you were right here. she is strange. enought. your kindness is appreciated but dont worry. she wont stop smoking and i cant afford a pack a day at $10 a day. she doesnt understand in her state of mind. we eat junk, no meaals. the boy is pulling back as he doesnt want to cry and thats all he feels like..............he says he is dying! and he is! you have a kind voice. thanks for not using my name.

Aisling,

God loves you and your family more than you can begin to fathom. The devil is doing this to you brother, please don't let him steal your joy and peace. Please read 1 Corinthians 10:13 and pray that God opens your eyes to this truth. Praying!! :prayer:

You need to get out of the house for a couple of hours my friend and take stock of the situation. Go find a quiet park with a bench to sit on and talk to GOD because your chewing yourself up.

There's too much going on at the same time you need to break it down, you won't be able to listen to GOD if your hurling abuse at him, which you probably are.

The very fact that you are receiving these replies is GOD talking to you. You won't listen to him on your own so listen to these posts.

You seem to be the pillar in the family so you need to focus and 'HOLD' everything together. If you fall, everything else is going to collapse as well.

You have support here already so your not alone. The very fact that we are thinking about you and and praying for you and your family should bring you comfort, we care and GOD cares about what you are going through.

I'd start with the basics and move up. You say your broke and eating junk, whether it's junk or not it's food. I see you are Catholic, The Sisters of Charity who are Catholic are world wide, they provide food to the needy, if the prospect of asking for food is too much for you, humble yourself, like I did, it's one less worry. Focus on one area then move onto the next.

The bills need to be addressed 'give to Caesar what is Caesars' in time, can you get the church or someone to contact all your creditors for you, explaining your situation, off load this burden to someone who is willing to help you whilst you concentrate on another area? GOD will help you, but you need to start helping yourself. I think you get where I’m going with this.

The Devil will be laughing at you right now, he's got you exactly where he wants you in 'dispare' you need to change your train of thought my friend before he consumes you. Don't wrestle with GOD on this one anymore, Start with the basics, and move forward little by little, day by day. and we'll go through this with you.

Take care

I'm sorry to hear that, it sounds like you're entering into a trying time. Pray and keep faith in the Lord. Take your son before the congregation and have them pray for him. The government also has many programs to support people in problematic financial situations; to those willing to humble themselves and apply. I'm sure you're church will do what they can as well.

It's really a difficult situation. Surrender everything to the Lord and put your entire trust in Him. Keep up the faith. I've been in similar situation but believe in Him miracles do happen. He is always listening to us. Complete surrender. This is what we did when I felt that looks like there's nowhere to go. I'll be praying for you and your family. If you could read my blog God's Presence Even In Trials Of Life you will better understand. I'm continuing to write posts on this and I'm going to tackle every difficult situation I encountered in my life and I am still encountering trials at this very moment. I hope that this would be of help to you. God is good. Just hang on there, help is on the way.

Wow man. Don't give up. What you say is all throughout the book of Job. read that book again, and remember the tests DO NOT come from God, they are attacks of the Devil.

I say this, because Jod recieved tragedy, in large quantity, and questioned God thoroughly, and eventually, God answered. He even wished for death, but he never gave up on God, for God is righteous, the DEVIL, is not.

God will come through, and he had the book of Job delivered to you, so you will know why God permit's suffering, but Satan is it's author and source. Stick to God and pray, and do not give in to the charges, that Satan raises saying, "If I test them, they will curse you to your face God"

Pray for power from God, to prove Satan the liar he is, and God WILL sustain you.

I know this feeling even now.Hang on to the LORD.He will sustain you.Take the LORDS words seriously.Not just the cursing's,but the blessings.God is God.He does what HE will's.We humans cannot even begin to understand it.(at times,which is alot of the times)I would submit to the LORD.It is especially hard when you try to do your will and try to do HIS will at the same time.Why?Because it is impossible.Only God's will is the way.I know because I struggle with this daily.
My family has been ripped apart since I remember.My daughters taken from me.My brother committed suicide....the list goes on and on.I was irritated and mad and hurt.I blamed this on GOD.But GOD,blessed be HE forever,showed me that is not HIS will.His will is to reconcile.Whereas the enemies is to bring chaos.God has nothing in common with the enemy.Therefore God does not bring chaos.Please do not give up.I pray strength upon you in JESUS name and in JESUS power,over your family and over your situation.May he Bring you peace and comfort and stability.In JESUS NAME,Amen.
