Too many times stepped on...

[Jussayre]

This past year I have seen friends die in car accidents, my best friend decided not to be my best friend anymore, my girl friend of 5 years decided she was no longer in love with me, my health has worsened, and now i've been diagnosed with a secondary affliction of disease.

I'm curious to know how this is supposed to happen all the time to me?

I was offered a promotion at another job 2 weeks ago, and my family said "see things will get better for you, it's happening already", and then 2 days ago, that company released bad performance reports, and they laid off like 1000 people in the states around mine...And now my promotion has evaporated...

How many more years of disappointment should i look forwards to? Where can i look in the bible that will show me how to "deal" with all of this. I'm feeling so over run with disappointment, i'm not sure i can pull myself out of bed anymore.

When you have done all to do stand, stand. I have found out that when things tend to look real bad watch out, and don't give up because GOD is just around the corner. He's gona blow yours socks off. Keep your eyes on Jesus and in the word and EXPECT something GREAT

I WILL be praying for you..

I have found some comfort in the book of Job. Thank you Hopeful.

"And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD."

-Job 1:21

I was going to suggest the book of Job as well....but since that's already been done, how about I pray for you? I've been in a similar position....feeling like everything is falling apart. All you can really do is cling to God and keep praying!

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

If you lose everything, remember that you still have God to rely on, and that relationship is the most important thing of all things for anyone to have. I don't know if this is the case, but He may be putting you through these trials to help you set your eyes back upon Him. It might be a reminder of who's in charge, and who is in control of all things. Wake up to God again. Sometimes giving us trials are the only ways that He can get our attention, being the foolish creatures that we are.

<SPAN class=NavigationLinks>Psalm 34:18 </SPAN>The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

<SPAN class=NavigationLinks>Psalm 147:3 </SPAN>He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

I heard that in our christian life we will always be coming out of a storm or going into a storm. I always like to reccomend Proverbs chapter 3 verse 5,6. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding; but in all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct thy paths. Give it all to God he wants us to depend on him. God bless

Everyone has done a good job of giving you verses and advice, so I will just raise you up to GOD in prayer.&nbsp;

GOD BLESS!!
