At times in our lives we get to a point where we feel all is gone, lost, and life not worth living, have you ever found yourself at this point where you just don’t see a reason to live or go on, when your personal strength fail you and you just don’t see a way out. I have been there before but I have always found strength in the wise sayings and words from the Bible as well as words from men who have overcome various troubles in their lives. Some of the words include, I MAY NOT KNOW THE PERFECT FORMULA FOR SUCCESS BUT I KNOW THAT THE KEY TO FAILURE IS TRYING TO PLEASE EVERYONE Isaiah 60:1-3 “If scarcity is what you see, it’s scarcity you’ll find. If prosperity is what you see, it’s prosperity you’ll find. Which would you choose to see?” Camilla Hazell “To be a sage means that when you look around you, you see only beauty. You will come to understand how everything you experience is a projection of your inner landscape or dream. This means that nothing ever happens to you, since you’re the creator of each event and incident in your life. So you never need to fix anything in the outer world – if you want to transform some circumstance that appears to be outside of yourself, you just need to own it and change it within!” * A “Every adversity carries within it the seed of equal or greater opportunity” Napoleon Hill These wise writings and other writings have been a good source of inspiration for me but the greatest light has been the bible. Hope this will help some of us to see a point of encouragement

hi byola When I was in rehab for learning how to use myleft arm after fracturing myleft shoulder and getting a shoulder joint replacement , I also had to learn how to walk and keep my balance with a guad cane. thats the one that has four little feet to stablize your balance more. well the first few days after my horrible fall and the fracture I was deathly afraid of falling again. [u]So I would just walk a ways and want to give up.then my physical therapist said this to me, You can always do more than you think you can. so I often think about this when I do not think I could go another step, or feel sorry for myself, You Can always Do More Than You Think You Can,[/u][i][/i]

I just once doubted God for having an endless obstacles that i have even i was with my husband to be with him in his beliefs, i am not truly in his side as a christian, but one day the christian pastor decided to have a family camp, and we were also there but as for me i just follow the flow where my husband is for the reason that i dont want to have a long discussion. As i am observing the christian fellowship i started to open my heart and hear the message from the bible. There was a strange that i could not explain the exact details when the pastor having a pray over. When the pastor put his hand to my head starting to pray and i was also praying for my needs, i suddenly felt my head like there are a blast and my heart pump, and pump so fast until i felt that my legs were numbed that i could not carry my body in which i was being catch with the christian people. by that time i realize that god was listening to me at that time and he healed me for the pain that i always carry into my life. God never live us but he wants us to be strong for the trials that we have because he will not give problems that we could not get a solution if we have faith in him.
