hopelessness

[Ramona]

Sister, what inspired me in this thread is that we all got together to help someone in need despite our religious beliefs. Let us transcend this thread, and have a prayer thread for not just Annette, but for the rest of world that is suffering. There is rampant poverty in the world, people are dying of AIDS, religious persecution, those battling drug addictions, the sex slave industry, underage prostitution, the elderly are left to die, terrorism, unjustified political wars, and especially those suffering mental diseases.

There is also a peace prayer thread going on right now in NCR, and I am disappointed that most of religious people here do not even have the humility to offer a prayer. We all talk about God, we all argue about God, but we never have the sense to come together in prayer. This is the reason why NCR never ends it's hostility and differences. We need prayers there too. No one is asking a Christian to invoke the name Allah nor is anyone asking a Muslim to invoke the name Jesus. Just please say something because in the end, our actions speak louder than our words.

Peace.

Totally will. I'll have a look in a little bit.

Also!

Raven, you are an amazing woman. You have been an encouragement and comfort to me in times of need, and I know you can be the same to Annette. I can only aspire to be as loving and wise as you are someday.

Beautiful and eloquent advice here. I love you as my fellow in the infinite divine Light, and wish the everlasting happiness for you and yours.

Thank you.

U.M why don't you just stop? Do you really need to try to prove yourself? Everyone knows what you posted and I know about depression. I don't need a "lesson" from you. Neither does anyone else, espeically Annette. Try helping people instead of trying to prove a point.

actually, i never had a point to prove. i just think EVERYBODY, such as yourself, for instance, is defensive and contemptuous to me bc i suggest that her religion might b the true source of her problems. yet how is this a bad thing, exactly??? right now, everyone else- besides myself, Raven, and Czach- is focused on ONLY treating Snowbunny's symptoms, with long-term medication and extensive doctors' visits; yet she continues to b plagued with this disease. once Snowbunny correctly diagnoses the problem- whatever it maybe- then we can begin the healing process. finding a TRUE PERMANENT CURE. ty.

So again Snowbunny, good luck with whatever route u choose. GOD bless sista'. peace.

Ok you guys..

First off, snowbunny is going on vacation and will not be on at all for a long time. So, let us all pray for her.

Secondly, when Jayda comes back and reads this topic, it is going to be unfortunete to see all the arguments in here, when she just wanted to Talk to us. We have made things go downhill. I think we should either erase our skeptical argumenative off topic posts, or ask a mod to do so.

 

[Omnichaotic]

I'll join you in that prayer. It's a great idea. NCR should form an interfaith prayer/positive energy chain or something. Awesome! Thanks for the inspiration.

I completely agree. We should never doubt the incredible power that even one positive word can gave.

hola

i am sorry to burden anyone with this... but i am plagued by hopelessness. i feel like a failure as a woman, i have pushed my husband and family away... i feel ugly and useless... i think i am losing my faith, prayer has not relieved anything and i truly feel alone in the world... i want to give up

has anybody experienced this or does anybody know how to pass through this?

gracias

Here's a quote from another religion that I know. From the Baha'i Writings..

O SON OF SPIRIT!
Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.

Don't beat yourself down, rise to what God has created you for.

 

[Exegete12]

Our dear Snowbunny has suffered from a tragedy. Please pray for her especially that the Lord Jesus can administer to her in this time of need through His Holy Spirit to comfort her, give her rest, and love, joy and peace.

Snowbunny has wanted me to let everyone know that she is okay. And let's pray the holiday does her well.

 

[Snowbunny]

Where are you sister, Why are you not replying?

atleast tell us what you think of all these people sharing their experiance and ideas...

lo siento Bookofknowledge,

i needed to run away for a little while, but my father found me and brought me back home...

gracias for all of your thoughts, prayers and encouragement everyone. there is a lot of very good advice here that i have pursued and it has at least help me confront what happened.

i think i am still going to spend some time alone again... (in a healthy way) but i will check in sometimes. i bought an apartment and i will start a part time job teaching dance classes soon... so i guess things feel a lot more like they are in order

que Dios te bendiga

 

[Mrs.Sidhe]

for you Snowbunny I hope things start looking up soon.

 

[seed757]

Yay! Snowbunny has returned!

If I weren't such a manly man I would probably be crying right now.

I do hope you find peace and contentment in your life, so hang in there.

Salam.

May Allah give you the real happiness in here and hereafter.

 

[Ramona]

I'm so glad you posted, Annette.

When I'm in town for dinner tonight I'll be sure to pay the local Catholic church a visit so I can light a candle for you. Lots of love.

I have a message for u Snowbunny....this is from another thread but this message had to b delivered to u personally. Boss's orders. I hope these words arrive in divine time to comfort and uplift ur Spirit in this time of need, sista. GOD bless.

...this pass Thursday, look at the calendar- two days ago- the mother of a woman who had passed away contacted me while I was shopping in the mall. this lady was a total stranger to me and so was her daughter. so i wouldn't be able to recognize her physically, at all, only by Spirit. I was led to retreat to one of the public restrooms where i found her daughter. There she stood, blankly starring at herself in the mirror. I walked up to her and said, "ur mom wanted me to give u a message: She loves you. even though she's passed away she will always remain by ur side, in ur heart."

She turned and said to me in complete shock, "OMGoodness! I was just crying and asking my mom and GOD for a sign 20 mins ago!" She hugged me and told me how depressed she was and how she had had suicidal thoughts ever since her mother passed away. Spirit didn't reveal all of that to me, however. But a mother got through to her daughter- with an encouraging message of LOVE and Confirmation and it was delivered right on time (that's when u KNOW it's truly GOD. ONLY GOD's watch is set by Divine Time)- and that's the ONLY TRUE message that ever really matters in the first place. ty. i hope others can be inspired and uplifted by this positive message as well.

that's all GOD desires for his children.... especially u, Snowbunny. Spirit won't leave me alone about u- it's been a good min.... but since nobody wants to listen to me, all i can do is pray. FYI, I'm an intercessor too, by trade. So i'm standing in the gap for u, GOD's orders, and some of ur family members who have passed away contacted me too. i believe a majority of them are male on ur father's side; but in all honesty, they didn't disclose their full identity to me yet. i just hear brothers, cousins, nieces, nephews, and uncles- that's a wide list i know, but i just receive the information, i don't make it up as i go along, and that's all they gave me so that's y i believe this- whatever it is it's a force to be reckoned with as r u. in a good way, that is. u have strength and virtue and wisdom and character and when u feel depleted of energy i hear them saying they (not just one person but plural) r the ones picking u up, keeping u going, and carrying u through ur troubles. (that's how they worded it too. I got to say it exactly right or u know.... u know how a BOSS gets if u only finish half the job??? same scenario applies. lol) anyway, they have been persistently rallying for u in Spirit, and they plan to continue to do so, until u get better. they r very protective of u just like ur friends in this life. So apparently u r truly blessed. i just hope u realize this and recover swiftly sister, GOD Bless.

peace.

Hey Sis,

Thank you for replying and thanks a million to your dad.

I googled the word 'lo siento' and if it means what I read then let me tell you that I am happy you're safe and sound.

I know you want to be alone, Be alone all you want but never leave your mind and heart free for a single moment continue doing the good deeds you were doing before even it be a lifting of a peabble from the path of where people walk.

Our hope and Faith reside in Christ. Pray continually for strength and courage and you will then help others to experience strenghth and courage.
Good luck and though it may feel as if you are alone, JESUS is always there. Peace.

Ezekiel 37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army. 11 Then He said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, 'Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!'

Luke 2:34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, `Lo, this [one] is set for the falling and resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against--
