When we are lost, and we do not know where to go and what to do to make things better... it is better not to struggle anymore. Just be still and know that god sees us, our sufferings, and he will make everything okay and good, and better in so many ways for you again, just be patient and never cease with your prayers. God hears, and understands and he does provide for us.
When you are feeling sad, and just can't go on... do you keep on struggling, or you remain still and just wait for God to help you turn things around?

There was once in my life that i really thought of ending my life. I felt I could not bear the pain and hurt I was feeling. I was overwhelmed with such great pain. I was lost, barely knew what was right from wrong. But after months of being in that state, I suddenly feared for my life, for my sanity, for my kids and family. And so I spoke to Him and said that I pray for his guidance to bring me back to the right path, to take away the hurt and pain and I have just lifted up everything else to Him. Seven years have passed.....I am glad I kept myself whole not only for myself, but mostly for my family.

Hi Jenny, thank you for sharing this with us. With these discussions, we get to know each other really well and we know that each one of us is a strong person. there is always that need for us to just know and understand that God wants us to be better and he never intends us to be broken inside and out.
Most of the time there are just trials that would test your faith, test your sanity, even... but when you move past this, hold on and remain sane and strong thinking about the family you will leave behind, i know all of us no matter how hard it is for us... we would always have to just call on to God and just be with him in the journey.

Reading your reply as reassurance brought me to tears.
Thanks for being a good friend
To some people, this would not have mattered so much, but for a person like me who have just keep most of my feelings inside me, this means a whole lot.

When I have a lot of problems and I feel like I want to give up already, I try to stay calm and pray to God. But that does not mean that I will just wait for the problems to solve themselves, although sometimes I do and things just gets solved without me doing anything. Sometimes, however, I need to take some initiative and some courage to do something and it is in God where I find the strength to do what I have to. He never lets me down. :)

By the way after I responded to this discussion myLot took me to a page that says something like:
"You have posted a response to a discussion in god under People I admire. Would you like to add god to your list of People I admire?"
Cool, right? Though I'm not sure that was the exact wording. I forgot.

HI Cherry, well yes, but we have to sometimes take a step back and plan, and just listen to what God is telling us. Many of us are just too busy with our lives, we are often flooded with too many things to do and one piles up when we do take a breather. I guess this is often what our lives are... but it is important to sometimes njust relax and listen to what God is telling us. this way we can keep our focus on one thing and then finish it... our mind won't have to be cluttered, right?
By the way, it is always like that when you respond to a discussion that is not yet added to your interests. :D Since you are considered a new member I'd say you will encounter a lot of discussions that would give you prompts like this. :D enjoy!! :)

I've noticed prompts like this before. I just thought it was funny that myLot asked of if I wanted to add God to the list of people I admire.

We try and put effort, if it is too much a burden, as my son used to tell
me "Cast the burden unto the Lord". Yes, I totally agree with you. God
hears us and He answered prayers. He Have answered so many of my prayers
and I truly praised Him. God indeed is a fantastic God. He knows when we
are in need and He will show us the way beyond our understanding.

I get sad or down for a while but soon enough I let God do what he needs to do, and shortly after I am back to myself again and moving forward again.

When you experience problems not only grieve, try to find solutions to them, when you get sick do not grieve God tested you to cleanse the sins because he loves you, when you find that people have changed or she does not know you but only for their own benefit not grieve , and treat them by your manners .
Rose above the sorrows, your illness and your problems, go to him alone and ask him for help and patience on tribulations .

Hi Samar. Thank you so much for your response. Yes that is important that in every situation we should be able to also rise up above all that is negative and all that is bothering v is bigger this is what we should always say when faced with difficult problems, that our God is Bigger than everything and everyone.

God doesn't always answer the way we want but he has promised us that he will give us the strength to deal with our problems. When we think of heaven as our home for eternity and that we are only passing through it gives us a better perspective.

I know what you mean. I have felt like that on several occasions but that just makes me pray harder.

I have learned over the yrs, no matter what I am going thru, that learning to wait on God is always the Best answer. I know that there are times when things may not always go as planned, and it can seem like life is a struggle. And times when it feels like everything is caving in around me. But for me, that is often the time when I find time to learn to pick myself back up and move forward and wait on God and know in time everything will be OK.

I think God loves us like His own children and will always there for us. I think most times God will always has better plans for us in our life. I think God will always take care for us in our lives and we need to have Faith in Him and Believe in Him.

Think I like to keep struggling. There is a time though to throw in the towel and face it. We can feel lost and do not see a way to improve things. When this happens and there seems little use to continue then it makes sense to me to do nothing.
I suppose asking for something is bringing God into our life?

It is of course but natural for us to not give up and to continue v what we have v started. Bit by bit we can succeed but there should be moments where we take a quiet moment and know and v heat what God's is trying to tell us... In order to help us.

hi,
You are right. Sometimes when we are in problem it would be better to remain still. when we have difficulties we have to struggle till the end. but there is no use of struggling sometimes. We have to leave that problem on God and should have a faith on God that he is with us and he will help us. after passing some time the situation changes and we get the success.
