stressed

HoneyLamb56:
My prayers go out for you; stress can do so much to one emotionally and physically; it has taken me circumstance and time to realize that even tho our problems may not be taken away, it is God that we must trust to rely on to get thru them; it is wonderful that He has given you a strong man to be there for you; will also pray for Charles to have continued strength.

So sorry Virginia that you are still struggling. God is faithful and knows your limits. Perhaps you feel youve reached your limit or gone beyond them but God never leaves or forsakes those He has called and chosen according to His good pleasure. He is so very faithful to us, even if we can be so faithless to Him. Its because He knows and planned for our faithfulness to be dependant upon His mighty power to save.

You have and will continue to be in my prayers. Im always here if you need someone to talk with. It seems Dennis can relate to your struggle and I am grateful you have one who can.

The body of Christ is always here for you and more importantly the head, that is God, is directing this body to where it must need go.

Love you very much.

Sincerely,
Alex

Hi Virginia, I'm sorry to hear of your health struggles and heart-pain. I'm reading a book that Ray recommended at one point and it's very good at showing how we must fail over and over as part of the process of forming us into the very image of God. We have to realize what we are and we can't do that as long as it seems like our efforts are achieving Gods fruits in us. I find it very comforting to know that it's not supposed to be one clean cruise to sonship. It's a bumpy ride by design. Just as day and night alternate, so too do our experiences of closeness and distance to the light of God. Only as we can bear the light so we receive it. We are THAT weak. You are not alone. Let's praise God for Charles and for the work He is doing in you, His precious daughter.  Praying for rest from your cares, soon.

Oh Virginia, with tears I write. My experience was much like yours. I too, had a breakdown, to the point where I secretly spent three days digging my own grave in the back yard. I was ready to leave because I didn't know what was happening to me. Like you I ended up in The hospital, and taking medication I have never needed before, sleeping pills and seeing a mental health person.
For you it is your son, for me, my daughter. I remember one day standing outside, shovel in hand
crying, I hated this world. There began my walk with God. All I could hear was, you were always the strong one, don't give up, what about your children, remember your children. I thought, OMG
My children, this would devastate them, they need me.And my poor husband, like Charles, was terrified. He rocked my eighty pound body like a baby curled in his arms every night. I was paralyzed. Things did change Virginia, ever so slowly, I began to talk to God and a little bit of light shone every day, I even began to write God, I did not know how to read the bible, but lo and behold, I began and  little by little I felt better, I hade hope, I felt so much Love. There were good days and very bad days, but I knew I could not give up because above everything else, God loves me and he love my kids. I started to think about Abraham and how he gave over his son to God
So I gave my kids to God, I said" Lord, they are better of with you and I trust you". I felt a weight
 lifted  from me. I had to let go and let God. Things are much better knowing God is in control
Of everything. I know your pain. Don't give up, God loves you Virginia and so does your family at BT.
For God so loved the world (and you) that He gave His only begotten Son , that whoever
believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good, to those who love God, to
those who are called according to His purpose.  (Rom. 8:28.

God Bless You 🙏🏼 Pamela.  I am praying for you.

Virginia,

If the absence of your children has caused you this much pain and sorrow, then they have become a god to you.

If God is working with you, then He will not allow any gods to come before Him.

We cannot control ourselves.  Much less can we control others.

Remember Jesus at the time of His great trial when His sweat was like big drops of blood because He was under such awful stress.

He prayed the one and only prayer that God ever answers.  "Your will be done".  The Father's will is the only thing that is ever done.

I remember when I was young I lost my children in a divorce.  I was heartbroken.  But God later returned them to me.  I now even have a little 6 month old grandson.

Trust in God with your whole heart.  Pray that His will be done.  Only Jesus can save you and heal your broken heart and spirit.  God will not let you down.  May His Peace be with you.

John
