You came to the very right place.. First of all welcome to Christian forums!!

Second... ((hugs)) you have been through a very trying time.. with so many deaths to face and so young.. it must be such a shock to you for all this to happen so closely together..

But you are so right to say you need help and yes God can certainly help us.. bless your heart.. You are on the right track!! God truly can give us peace.. like you would never believe.. Peace for what we have gone through.. for our past.. present and future..

I believe God led you here.. so that you could find help and strength.. I will pray for you.. God is right there with you.. And all you need is to know how to ask for His help!!

And that is so simple.. Just ask Him.. right where you are.. in whatever words you know.. Say God.. please help me.. I need You.. please help me and let me learn all there is to know about You.. and He will help you. Keep coming back here to the forums or go to church near you.. and keep asking questions seeking God... For He has so much to give you.. I can help you if you would like... there are others here too.. Just ask whatever it is you need to know or PM me..

God bless you.. I will pray..

I wanna start by saying: Welcome to CF!!

I agree with peacechild4. You just have to lay it all at Jesus' feet and let Him guide you. I know that loss is tough. It's real tough. But, God will definately see you through.
Keep praying and let Him know that you are willing to do as He wants.
Pray with sincerity and God will listen and answer. He knows our hearts and he knows when our load is getting to be overwhelming. Just ask and He'll help you carry your load.
Keeping you in my prayers,
's and es!!

Hi,
I hope you're doing better.
I was in a situation like yours some time ago.
My father was dying and i was there
to be with him when he died.
I was very afraid of his dying.
I went into another room and prayed to God, I believed in God but did not know Christ.
I prayed to the God I knew, and it was amazing what He did in my life.
When my father passed away there was no fear at all, God took it away.
After that God led me to a bible believing church and i accepted Christ as my Saviour and have been a christian ever since.
I also agree with peacechild4.
Pray to God, He'll be there for you.
Chuck.
