Not at all sis! 's

I read your post and thought about Elijah in 1 Kings 19:4. In spite of the great things he'd done in the Lord's Name, he still hit a stumbling block in his life and hit rock bottom. But the Lord had not left Him but instead enabled Elijah to take time out and recharge.

We (myself included) have times where it seems so dark and seems as though it won't get any better, but be encouraged it'll pass over time.

I know it doesn't feel like it now but just do what you've done with your post, cry out to the Lord, petition Him the way the Psalmists did.

He's promised us that He will never leave nor forsake us.

I've just lifted you up in prayer and I pray that you will be given the strength to endure.

You are definitely not beyond hope or remedy. I agree with Lotuspetal. In times of intense battle, I turn to the psalms because I feel that David experienced so much as I experience today. He was battled with - he was depressed, sad and even did the unthinkable - murder and adultery! But he was loved by God and He was restored after the bad things he did because he turned back to God.

Hang in there girl. I too have said a prayer for you just now, and I pray you will find the strength to hold tight through the difficult times.

In Him,
Kristen

don't feel guilty for not 'handling trials in a picture perfect chistian manner'... lol. i'm not sure there is such a thing. i just know that in the mist of trials, faults, questions, and even complaints and doubts: 100% love, mercy, grace, forgiveness, salvation, and adoration from God; for just being His, is an unconditional gift.

11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
Proverbs 3:11-12

see, He is not laughing at your trials. you are like an honored child even in correction. practice this thinking every time you catch yourself in discouragements.

philippians 4:4-9
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice .... And the God of peace will be with you.

You have to rest in the Lord and do it by Faith and not by what you are feeling. Jesus Christ was a Man of sorrows and fully acquainted with grief, but he has stuck by my side, even when I was far from him. Know that God's ways are higher than ours and his Understanding is inscrutable.
