Dear Melanie

Why is it that you think of yourself like that. remember the God who created you did it with a purpose. he ha given you somehting special which you are not appreciating. Do you know that the creator makes everybody unique and each one is given his unique talent and charateristics. Soit before the Lord and ask him him what is your purpose in life and to help you identify yourself and you will see that you too can shine in a special way that others will admire you. I will pray for you to be a cjhanged person and for the Lord to guide you. God Bless

O Lord, this is all my desire -- to walk along the path of life that Thou hast appointed me, even as Jesus my Lord would walk along it, in steadfastness of faith, in meekness of spirit, in lowliness of heart, in gentleness of love. And because outward events have so much power in scattering my thoughts and disturbing the inward peace in which alone the voice of Thy spirit is heard, do Thou, gracious Lord, calm and settle my soul by that subduing power which alone can bring all thoughts and desires of the heart into captivity to Thyself. All I have is Thine; do Thou with all as seems best to Thy divine will; for I know not what is best. Let not the cares or duties of this life press on me too heavily; but lighten my burden, that I may follow Thy way in quietness, filled with thankfulness for Thy mercy, and rendering acceptable service unto Thee.

Dear Melanie,

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. Dont compare yourself with others or else you will feel bitter. I suggest you join charismatic communities or any prayer group in your parish. You can try Handmaids of the Lord (of Couples), or Familia or even El Shaddai. By doing this you will be able to share and pour out your feelings. They will be able to give your support and guidance. Dont be too harsh on yourself. Each of us is important to God because we are His child.Our Lord must have His plan on you. Pray when you feel lonely. Lift up to Him all your worries and anxieties. Go to the Blessed Sacrament just stay there and talk to our Lord. Feel His presence.. You create your own loneliness and if you do you can also create your own happiness. You may decide to be happy knowing you awake each morning, or seeing the bird flies, or talking to a friend , eating the food that you want, logging on to this site because by reading others problems is more than enough to be happy because others have greater problems than you do. CHEER UP. JESUS LOVES YOU, MAMA MARY LOVES YOU
