You are not alone George, I too often wonder about Gods plan for me, wife and kids. You are God's workmanship and He will do exactly what He wants and what is best for you. You do your best and pray pray pray.

George,
i too become so discouraged at times that i really seriously contemplate giving up...sometimes it just seems so overwhelming....so much to learn...so much i don't know...so many trials....so much overcoming to do....i just know i can't do it....i get so tired....
BUT i remind myself that God is in control, He is able, and its ALL up to Him...
my life, my childrens, my grandson, my husband....we are all in His hands....there is nothing i can do to change what must be.....wether we are in the first ressurection or the second, we are still His children & still in His loving care....He will do according to His plan and it will ALL work out for the good. He loves all of us no matter what. Surrendering to His will is very freeing and removes the burden of performance axiety. =)

Hi G.Driggs,

Don't have a good answer for you but I can relate to your experiencing a lack of hope sort of. Wish I could say I've been there and done that but I can't because I am there and it ain't done yet.  :)

You won't be alone if you do end up there, I'll be right there with ya!

Unless, it ain't God's will  :)

Dear all,

My thoughts on this subject.

I can recommend a medicine that worked at least for me when I struggled with these feelings of loosing hope: Read Romans chapter 8.
And follow Paul's and Peter's prescriptions:

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

2Peter 1:5
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that you shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacks these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and has forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Why the rather, brothers, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if you do these things, you shall never fall: for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Why I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them, and be established in the present truth.

We don't know how our lives will be, but we know that God is doing all according to His perfect plan. We can rest in His peace. We are working, but He makes the building.

1 Corinthians 3:9
For we are laborers together with God: you are God's husbandry, you are God's building.

God bless you,
Eirik
