Long time time ago , when I was laden with a lot of debts caused by my overspending through my credit cards, I feel like giving up in life. Thanks to my sister who helped me go through it , thru prayer meetings . I grew stronger in my faith that God will make a way and so He did.
Without my knowing it, my sister told my father about my problem... I wasn’t telling my father nor my husband about it, because I knew that they would get so angry with me. But my sister did tell my father and explained. My father softened and helped me pay them. My husband also came to know about it, and he also helped.
Little by little I was able to repay them both. I thank God for helping me not to give up in life. I thanked God and now, learned my lesson, and vowed not to repeat the same anymore.

It is normal for us human to feel that way. We are like a vessel. Having too much load will cause us to stop and wanting to give up running. It is a good thing that there are someone we can talk to help us unload the problems that we have. Also prayers can really help us to have peace of mind.

yes, i think i have even come to a point that i stopped trying, that i entirely gave up on things! i could not even think of anymore things to do, to say, or whatever... i think it was rather just instinct that i have come to the end of whatever... that i do not think i can hold on anymore...
im just glad though that i have not ended my life and still somehow logically thinks that i might survive this trials and win after all...

Now, when i come to such situation, i simply would just think of those most unfortunate poor people, the handicapped , the blinds and i would come to my senses. But of course, i learned that fervent prayer works.

Definitely, we should not give up in life. God will not give problems or difficulties in which we cannot survive. These challenges we faced, are facing, and will be facing are God's ways of molding us into a stronger and better individual.

We came to this world not for pleasure. we have to go through the baptism of difficult problems. Never give up the passion for life ,as the sun rises again every day.

Life is full of ups and down. It could only be your determination to emerge triumphant that will help you.

I do think about this before, but sometimes when we are all weighed down by problems, look up to God and know that he is in control. He will never give you burdens that you cannot handle. And to add, look at the situation of other people to, especially those who are not really living well enough and are in the line of poverty or sickness, you would still realize how lucky you are in your current situation.

Yes, staria that i came to know in life. There are a lot of people in lowly situation yet they still would like to live longer. So why should we give in easily in life? God is always ready to hear and help us.
