For Understanding and Strength...Updated November 27th

Please pray for me...I am at a place in my life where the things that have made me happy are being stripped away from me...I have cried and pray and cried and prayed and I believe "the Lord hears good people when they cry out to Him, and He saves them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those whose spirits have been crushed." (Psalms 34:17-18) yet as my situation continues to unfold I feel like it is spiral out of control and I feel like maybe I am not the good person I thought I was...all my life I have dedicated my time and heart to helping other people, even at the expense of my own feelings an well being and I have come to a place where I really, really need the Lord. Recently, to make matters worse, my boyfriend of more than 4 years and I have fallen out. We were planning on getting married and doing things the right way and then one day without notice things just went awry...I do not understand, nor can I even comprehend what is happening or why. All I know is, I have been in the midst of the storm and I am desperately looking for the calm. I need things to be okay, just this once. Just this time I need for the Lord to reach out and hear me when I cry…to save me. I have tried to help and rescue others all my life and now…when I feel like I need saving most it feels as if no one is there. Please pray for me as it is a struggle to even find the courage to get going in the morning knowing that this feeling in still there…..

Update - 10 months ago:

I would just like to let you know that my situation has not really gotten any better, and in fact it seems to be getting worse. I am trying with all I that I have in me to cling to the Lord and stay close to God. I am so disheartened and sorrowful it seems like happiness will never come. I cannot sleep because I am consumed by my thoughts and the harder I pray the more of a fight it is to stay alive emotionally. It feels like evrything inside of me wants to wilt. So, I pray for others and try to take my mind off of it. I throw myself into work and school and inside I still suffer. I do not know what else to do because I am hurting so...Please pray for me as I look for direction in this situation...

Update - 10 months ago:

Dear friends, I am deeply saddened to write that now my grandmother has passed away, with my cousin being killed in a car accident only three weeks ago, I do not know how much more of this I can stand. And to make matters worse, my boyfriend has choosen to be insensitive and argumentative, so I have no support there. It seems like all of the fibers of my life are falling apart all at once and I do not know what to do. I have prayed and cried and prayed some more. I have thrown my all on the alter and begged the Lord for mercy, yet it seems that the more I pray the more suffereing I encounter. I do not know what to do because I am so discouraged. I keep praying that for once in my life, things will be okay. All I am asking for is just okay. Things do not have to be perfect, but just okay so that I will not have to suffere everyday and cray and sit here in physical pain because of my deep sorrow. I pray for others in the midst of my sorrow and ask the Lord to bless them where they may be torn down, so that they may never feel the pain that I feel. And I pray this for others, not because I want something in return, but because I truly feel that this is the right thing to do. Still, when I pray for myself I feel that I am unheard, that God has turned a deaf ear to my sorrws and hurt, that he does not recognize my pain that he does not hear me when I cry out to Him because I know that he is the only one to help me. So, I am asking that all of you pray for me because I feel like I am no longer clining to hop e because it has been snatched away from me and I am left here as an empty shell of nothingness. Sometimes I sit and think to myself what haveI done to deserver this? Have I been so cruel a person to warrant such pain and suffering and hurt? I do not belive so because I believe that I am a very good person, but when I feel like this inside I feel ugly and shameful; like I am not worthy of happiness or the good things in life. If I had enough candles, I would lit all of the, for all of you that have ever prayed for me, so that you would never never experience the suffering that I do and be blessed all of your lives. So, with that being said, I do not know what will happen and I do not know why I am going through this, but I do ask that you pray for me...and my God bless you all!

REVELATION 6:1-9; 7:14-17; 21:4; 22:11-13 1. And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the nise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another and there was given unto him a great sword. 5. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances. 6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: And his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger; and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. 9. And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they wich came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, not crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he whichh is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righeous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12. And , Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every nam according as his work shall be. 13. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

THE CROSS I know that we all have a cross to bear, but sometimes the cross that I am bearing is so heavy. I know the cross I bear is not like the cross Jesus boar, or those on this site, but still I'm not asking for prayer I'm just want to say something to all on this site. So many people sick, so many hurting, so many suffering, so many have been lied to, so many have had something stolen from them. So many have experenced a loved one dieing, or death of a loved one, or going through some kind of tribulation. Many hearts are broken, God's love is so great yet. More people are needing something. Sometimes it's like being in a desert like Moses, and the Jews. But simetimes is like being up in the mountain talking with Jesus. And sometimes it's like being in drought with no rain. or floud drowning and trying to reach up and grab something for help and nothing is their, until Jesus reaches down and takes our hand and lifts us up out of the storm, Closing the lions mouth to that thy won't tears apart. I know this doesn't make any since but I felt led to say something, and however it comes out it's from God to all those on this site. God bless these people Please with out you no one can do anything. You said that we can move mountains I move all these mountians of pain, sickness, anger, hatred, stealing, lieing, tumers, cancers, demons, sex acts, I command all this things to depart from all these people who need you. I move this mountians of depression, hunger, joblessness, lonelyness, I rebuke all this demons In the name of Jesus. Lord I believe that you have healed everyone on this site. I know that you have touched everyones heart as you touched mine. I belive that you bring familys back to geather again, You are healing familys, Your making familys stronger. I pray that you will heal those who are addicted on drugs, cigretts, drinking. I pray that you stop the abuse in homes. I pray also that you heal my ferrets Banditt, and Rascule this I pray in the name of Jesus I believe that all these mountians are being removed out of all these peoples life. I know that what so ever we ask then so shall it be I ask for a healing for all, When we seek then we shall find I seek your preceanse Lord, When we knock then the door shall be opened Lord everyone is knocking on the gates of heaven. Lord we are at the foot of the cross and praying, and we lift it all up to your throne Lord we give it all to you I beleive that every pray will be answeared In the name of Jesus we pray In your mighty name.

I know exactly how you feel, sister. I have days like this, and sometimes the feeling can be overwhelming. I am learning to find strength, comfort, and understanding in Word of God. I admit, I frequently get sidetracked, but isn't it great to have a Father who recognizes all of our weaknesses, then takes the time to help us out with them? Keep your faith, and I pray for blessings for you in the days to come. Be strong, my sister in Christ. Until later...Pat

Dear SweetPea,
I see so much of my own life in what you write. I feel for you. I am here, dear sister, if you need a friend. I, too, am going through almost the same thing at the present. I will pray for you that you can overcome this. I know you have it in you. I know he is listening and will help. xxxx Stephanie

My email is stephaniecisme@yahoo.com if you need a friend.
i'll be here.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled as to console,
not so much to be understood as to understand,
not so much to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
it is in dying that we awake to eternal life
