I want to ask all of you this, because sometimes i do feel like giving up when i am beset with a problem. But then, my faith in God is stronger, so i don't totally give in to it. I always rely on Him for comfort and help and i know He never gives us problems we cannot handle.

It is interesting to hear that whenever you cry, you feel better and you can do thing, which you could not do earlier.

Thank you. When i am on the verge of giving up, i would cry out myself to God and ask that he strengthen me and help me in solving my problem. Crying alleviates my feelings and i would do it in the solace of our bedroom when my husband is still at work. After crying, i would feel relieved and as if a new set of hope is suddenly in me.

Yeah I do. At times when I feel like I'm not doing right. I sometimes feel like quitting cuz I don't know what to do. I usually feel that whenever I'm so burned up and stressed from school, work, house. . and dealing with people.

Yes, it's nice to be able to express our feelings to God and feel his loving presence. He is our primary comfort in times of distress.

I also sometimes want to give up. When very frustrated, feeling like giving up appears. But, if I give up I will be worse off. I also believe, God will always be with me, and give me the way, to solve the problem.

That's the spirit. Let's always have it in mind , that God is with us always, ready to hear our problems and help us in solving them. Though he may not give us solutions the way we want, he give it to us lovingly in His own way.

As a normal person, there are times that being a pessimistic is inevitable. This due to problems threading in our daily lives. Moreover, trials and persecutions could be added in detail. However, keeping a strong faith in God would help ease the seemingly bombarding consequences of each challenge met by a person. It is this faith that would keep someone from giving up; inspiring an individual to painstakingly face the problems, trials and challenges head on. Optimism then becomes a guiding principle, leading you out of misery and enjoy the contentment that you deserve.

Very true. When one is on the middle of a crisis in life, pessimism would sometimes set in making one seemingly give up. Only our faith in God helps us to come out of it, and say to yourself " i am not alone on this, God will make a way". Only then, will one realize that if we dwell on our pessimism it will really lead us down the drain.

Well said Simplyd. Let us not allow our problems to overtake our mind and body. Hence, let us not worry about our trials, problems, challenges etc., instead let us allow them to worry for us (otherwise, if we worry about them, the tribulation we are experiencing will double). Unfortunately, often times it is the other way around. As they say, easier said than done. However, with God in by our side, nothing can go wrong. ^_^

Everyone use to feel give up at certain point. It's normal thing and we cant deny. BUt one thing that we have to remember right when we're give up is that God and everyone around who's care and remind us that hope and expectation is always there for us.

When we feel like giving up, we should turn to God for strength and guidance. He will surely be there to help us as he always do, but in his own way.

I like that seemingly poem you have. It's encouraging and hopeful . That should always be the spirit when one is besieged with a problem.

I often have days where I too just want to give up. Sometimes it feels like whatever it is I am going through, is just too much. Those are the days where I just simplify. I just worry about getting through the day. Because I know that the sun will come up the following day. And I might have the strength, or the wisdom to solve my problems.

I think it's just but natural that we do sometimes feel that way.When our problems seem to be so overwhelming, I simply just would like to disappear on this world so i can escape it. But then, i also know that i shouldn't give in just like that, but ask God for strength and wisdom to be able to surpass them. As you said, there is always sunshine after the rain.

I feel like that currently. I have been feeling like that for 3 years now. Call it depression. But to answer your question, yes everyone feels that way from time to time when things are not going right. Stick in there, it will pass.

3 years? Wow, that's very long for a depression. But i guess, you are okay now. Well, honestly, i know that it will pass. I just keep praying for strength to go over it, the soonest.

Yeah, i guess most of us do feel this way when everything's just too much to handle. Even when you keep telling yourself just have faith, there will always be times when you just can't help but ask "why"?

I guess it's part of our human nature to feel down trodden when problems beset us. But i do believe, God is just waiting for us always to call on Him and beg Him to help us.

Yes everyday I face some kind of challenges in life and I feel the urge to just drop on my knees and cry and sometimes I feel the urge to just stop living with this kind of situation that no one has to deal with but their is always a voice in my head saying,"DO NOT GIVE UP,THE SUN WILL SHINE AT THE END.YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE THE END.. YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE OVER AND YOU WILL SOON TELL THE WORLD YOUR STORY OF LIFE."SO NEVER EVER GIVE UP!!!

Hey that's not the spirit my friend! Remember, you advised me before that I should be strong and don't give up? I hope you still remember that(in one of my posted discussions before)... I'm returning the favor to you now, whatever your problems may be, please be strong and don't give up. I know you will get through with all of it. Ask God for guidance and wisdom and He will never fail you, Do take care always my friend!

Thanks whengcat. I do remember that discussion and i really mean it for you. I know, trials are meant to strengthen us more in life. The more trials we hurdle, the stronger we get. No, i am not succumbing to that low spirit whenever i have a problem. I know, God is just there to help.
