Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (5)

[PreachersWife2004]

There is nothing to forgive, Seajoy. Being a sister in Christ to you doesn't mean I only want to hear the good things.

Romans 5 3-5
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Thanks everyone. Today I'm back down some, with an upset stomach to go along with it. I'm real sick of all this and just want to cry.

Forgive me for coming here for my daily "update."

I'm glad that you can come to us!!! It helps focus my prayers for you even more.

Hugs to you, you don't have to apologize, if you want to talk, we'll listen. God bless you.

I am very glad you come by and give us updates, Seajoy. I have missed you terribly. Sharing our burdens as best we can is part of what it means to be in a community of faith. By God's grace, we can help encourage you in this, and every other, time of difficulty. God did not make us to be alone. There's a reason He made us need one another. It is our joy and privilege to lift you, and each other, up in prayer.

I agree with the others, seajoy. It's always good for you to bring us up to speed on where you are. You are not bothering us at all, and you never have to apologize for that.



In Christ's love,

Hi. My name is Hope, and I just joined a couple days ago. I was wondering how to ask for someone to pray for me. If I could get any feedback, that would be great. Thank you.

 

[RadMan]

Just ask.
We also have a "sticky" thread in the main TCL forum for prayer requests

Wow....you guys are super. I'm just so tired of feeling depressed. I really thought I was on the upswing yesterday. Today doesn't feel that way. I'm supposed to go home tomorrow. I need to be much stronger for that to happen.

Thanks to all of you for being my friends and for your prayers. I wish I could hug you all for real...you just don't know how much I need one.

From one of my favorite chapters in the Bible...thanks.

Seajoy, I'm glad to see that you are coming here to seek the love we can give you. Its not fun being sad, but its even worse when you feel that you can't share your sorrow with others. You have many people here that love you and are happy to be call you their friend. Just keep coming back so we can fill you up and cheer you up.

 

[seajoy]

I can't stop. I feel like I'll never get better.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, when my spirits are low and it seems I can no longer see your face or hear your voice, grant me perseverance to cling to my knowledge of You and Your faithfulness. Grant me remembrance of my Savior's promise that He will never leave us but is with us to the end. In His name,
Amen.

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

 

[PreachersWife2004]

Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

 

[seajoy]

thanks Beckie....I just feel so alone.

 

[PreachersWife2004]

Prayer
We pray, O Christ, that you will fill our hearts with Your presence and ease the loneliness which visits us in stressful times. We look to you for help and remember your promise to always be with us.
Amen.

Here is where I get these passages from. This site has been so very helpful to me - I make my own cards and I use a lot of passages from this site.

 

[seajoy]

it has been suggested to me that I stay off here for awhile. I'm sorry to have included you all in something I'm supposed to go through alone.

 

[LilLamb219]

But with us you are not alone.

Who told you to not come here? You're a part of our group...we miss you when you're gone!
