Struggling through life...

Thank God for your blessings. Something good will come your way.

I have 3 children. my husband was in a car accident dec 27 which left him w/2metal discs in his neck. he became addicted to the pain killers they were giving him. got fired from his job last week (i'm a sahm). He fell alsleep at the wheel tues because of the pills and the car exploded (our only car). now, we have no car, no income and our cupboards are becoming bare. We did have insurance, so that is good. But please remember that God loves you and everything that happens to you is for a reason from God.

I don't have any really good advice to give you because I'm probably nearly as depressed (or more so than you). Just hang in there. And remember help God help you. You can't just wait for something to happen.

As for the girl...your very young. I doubt she's the right one. just my opinion though. God bless you.

I agree with micbmac to count your blessings, and focus on what God has provided you with. If you don't believe you can get far in life think again, because you can do anything through Christ who strengthens you. However you need to make Christ first in your life, because no girl out there is going to make you complete. You need to start seeking the Lord again by reading your Bible daily, praying and attending church. When you don't feel like praying is when you have to pray the hardest of all!

I'm sorry about everything that you are going through, I actually know how you feel but it's just a different situation sort of. Just remember that God will make a way when there seems to be no way. I will keep you in my prayers, God bless you.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. I have learned that God throws certain situations at us for a reason. Everything that we go through has been asked of the Master to do. He is the final authority. Remember when the devil asked about Job to God. God said you can do anything to him but you can't kill him. Job lost everything. He still got on his knees and prayed to God. No matter what we go through in life God is always there watching the way we handle the situations. When he sees that we need help He intervenes and helps us. The bible says he will never put more on us than we can bear.

I agree with Hunnybee. If I was you I would start praying, reading the bible, and going to church again. I know it may be hard, but have patience with the Lord. Stand still and watch the Glory of God move in your life.

God bless you and I will pray for you!

Hiya! So, I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time of it...I can't say I have too much helpful advice..but something that I can comment on is the last bit about not being able to read the Bible and pray. I literally, like days ago, got over a few week long period of not being able to pray or read the Bible...and I had some huge doubts...I know how awful that can feel...and I'm sorry you are going through it, but in the end, it can strengthen your faith.

I know everyone is saying read the Bible and pray...but honesty, if you can't, then you can't. I couldn't , I know people told me to, but everytime I did I got more confused and downhearted. So, if you try to pray and read and can't, I suggest just sort of writing out your thoughts and questions. Or talk to a friend. and if you need to bawl like a baby then do it (I did many a times)...tears are some of the most powerful prayers and they don't go ignored. Anyway...writing helps me a lot, crying helps me a lot...but I guess that's different for everyone. Do whatever seems to help you, no matter what that is. Let it all out somehow. Once you do that, it becomes easier to let God back in your life for real and know where He is leading you. Ha, sorry, I probably just rambled on, and I'm not even sure that had a specific point, let alone was at all helpful...

Sorry...I know this stinks, but I also know that God will bring you through it, He will show you what you need to know, He will provide you with what you need and He will never forsake you.


Anyway..I'll be praying for ya...

hey mate...
one thing do not worry about tomorrow for it will worry about itself....
i remember soo many times i have struggled and i have always look to God to help me and he has always provided for me...

First seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all thing shall be added unto you...

God Bless may God strengthen you through this period

Thanks all for helping me out and praying. Like always things have been getting worse. I have to go with what Yoa said about waiting. I should be doing these things, but right now I can't. I don't want to force myself to read the Bible, hopefully I will just be ready to if and when things lighten up.

Also, I've always liked the verse about God not giving you to much so you won't be able to bear it, but sometimes I think this is unbearable. Yeah I am not dying or loosing money or living on the streets - things could always be worse - but to me they are unbearable.

You will be ready when things lighten up. When things aren't so crazy it's easier...I know that people say you should praise Him through the storn, and we should...but when it's something like this, somehow it's different.

and just remember...it's always darkest before the dawn.

Your life isn't all that different from mine right now, except you have a job and probably a car, and a girl that is interested in you. I have none of those things. I'm not trying to guilt trip you or anything, but I do understand your frustration. I will try to remember to pray for you since I know how dire these straits can be.

Go to church again. Read the Bible again. If you have a car, join a fellowship. You don't really have anything to be ashamed of. The only reason I'm not in a fellowship right now is I don't have a car, the means to pay for one, or much access to the family vehicle. I would have to be "that guy." You don't, so take advantage of what you do have.

BTW, on health insurance, I am fortunate. My coverage is only $108 bimonthly. Part of this is probably because my state's economy is in the tank right now, but look around. You can probably find something adequate, yet cheaper for your coverage.

Just tell God everything. Tell him that you don't know what to do about your degree and job situation, your depression, your worries about insurance, and anything else that may be bothering you. Ask him to help you trust him to get you through this. I've had many times where I just felt that there was no hope. But when I gave the situation to the Lord, He helped me. Now I'm very happy and I feel close to the Lord. I'll definitely be praying for you. Read psalm 103: 8-14. Hope that helps.
