Hi, All:

Feeling directionless and scared tonight. Wondering how I am going to make a go of my business and feeling as if it will not happen. I have lost a lot of hope and feel the Devil at my door and I want to open that door, because I am tired of fighting him.
I need God, not in ten minutes, but now. Bills are coming in, and I am working 2 jobs and it is still not enough. If I had not been a good man in my divorce, I would have many fewer worries. Lesson learned, at least for tonight: Do not be generous, you will be sorry! I know that I am!

Please pray for me. The thoughts going through my mind are scaring me. Thannk God that my dogs and cats need me or I might not be around!!!

I am tired of feeling this way and my counseling is not helping...........

Help, I need prayers.

Hi GB,

Tired? I remember being there. I think the same can be said for lupolady, hopeful_person, standing_together and a few more. I didn't know what to do during those times.

I found out that that is exactly where God had led me. He wanted me to rest in Him and let Him take my burden. It was/is never easy, but He always let me know that He was never far fron me. He just wanted a more intimate relationship with Him. He wanted me to spend more time in reading His word, praying and giving Him value (in worship). After I started doing these things; circumstances seemed to change.

Whether this is your situation or not I want you know know I'm thinking and praying for you.

Bless you.

S&C

Thank you, S&C,

I am having financial difficulties, and they are all either my own fault or are part of my being so depressed all the time. I am afraid for my house, because of the mortgage. The mortgage is on the house, because of what happened during my marriage, so now I have no marriage and a mortgage on a house I used to own free and clear.

God has led me to this place of pain and despair, pain bad enough to think not so good things. I am growing closer to God, but this dark valley may be too dark and too long to walk through, even with God.

I have always wondered how people like you, hopeful_person, et al, made it through your trials. Even with God, I wonder if I have the strength.

Thank you for your prayers...
God Bless you,
GB

Have you ever done something strenuous and have your muscles hurt the next day? Even though the muscles hurt, you know what you did that made them hurt today, will benifit them tomorrow (they will get stronger). The same thing goes with the trials we face. Yes they hurt but, we use them to make us better.

I don't have much time right now but if you want to e-mail me there is more I'd like to tell you about intimacy with God. sandc_mb@hotmail.com

Bless you.

S&C

Thank you for your prayers...
