Well, things have been really, really hard on me the past few weeks. I'm just not sure what to do, but pray. Here is a run down of things that has happened:

-Lost my staff position.
-Lost a few friends due to some drama that I wanted nothing to do with.
-Lost the only real friend I had left and don't know why.
-I have been feeling very physically ill going on a week now.
-Hurt my back shoveling the sidewalk
-Have had severe depression that was near suicide

I have no clue why all these things keep happening to me. The enemy is focused on me and I can't figure it out. You would think certain people in my life would have more compassion knowing how depressed I've been, but they have been horribly mean and are trying to ruin the only good things left in my life.

I have no strength left. I can't deal with any more pain, any more loss. I have been searching myself and searching myself to find out why I deserve all this. I just want to keep focused on my ministry and serving Christ, but I have nothing left to give. I have no strength to stand any more. I'm just about done with all of it and the worst part is NO ONE CARES!! If my friends cared, they'd stop pushing me away and embrace me and try to encourage me. :(:(:(

God is your strength. Keep praying to him for guidance and strength and it will happen. Have the willingness to get your strenth back. I am so sorry for all that has happened to you. I have been in that position and I went on to meet friends who are true. Don't give up, you are a great child of God who will protect you. I am praying for you.

You will be in my prayers ~ may God bless you in His Merciful Love :crossrc:

Dear Lord,

Teach me how to maintain joy in the midst of difficulties,
the kind of joy that is the fruit of Your Presence in my soul,
Your love in my heart.

The joy that comes from a loving acceptance of
Your will in my moment to moment existence.


To know that whatever happens to me has first passed
though Your Divine Mind is a source of joy.


To realize that You will bring good out of every injustice
and every heartache calms my soul,
allowing joy to blossom in the midst of trial and tragedy.


Yes, my Lord, give me the joy that will never
be lessened by the things of this world,
because it is rooted in Your Love and Presence. Amen


~ Mother Angelica

I'll be praying for you brother. The enemy will at times rush us with everything they got to try to cloud your faith with doubt, especially at our most troubling times within this world. but it is important that when we are faced with those hard battles to remember our human spirit can not produce the supernatural faith that is necessary to overcome, this kind of faith comes only by hearing His powerful word!

Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Be diligent in the Lord, seeking after Him in spirit and truth and reading His Word, and He will surely grant you more of His Spirit in this great time of need.

Isaiah 40:31
But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Remember you always have the saints when you need friendship! We are the body of Christ and when one of those members is weak, Christ the head of that body will surely guide the brethren to help you. We'll be praying :crossrc:

I'm soooooo sorry...i can soooooo relate.....

in spite of EVERYTHING, and all the dominoes collapsing, DARE to believe God still HAS you and is STILL working furiously on your behalf. Remember Job? God sometimes allows His children to suffer....it will NOT destroy us, although it seems so during this "boot camp" that we find ourselves in, that only God can put us in, and He is SURELY the One Who will bring us out of. i am soooo praying for you, brother, and adding you to the prayer list Rocky started. You hang in there, beloved son of the Most High God. ((((hug)))

"Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction." ~Isaiah 48:10
