Ladies,I know there are all sorts of different situations we face,some are not so big issues, others are devastating. I have been and am going through some horrible stuff. Pain that I wouldn't wish on anyone(well maybe my ex :) ) but even when I think I just can't take it anymore,and I have no idea the purpose of the trial, God always gives the grace to keep going,and has given me a peace I just don't understand. I want to encourage you to keep going to Him,and let Him work things out. I am finding the more I try to control things,the less peace I have. I have a hard time praying because I just don't want to feel my hurts,so there are times when I do all my sobbing and get it out,and plenty of times I pray briefly before I let my emotions boil over...either way ladies..trust Him. It may not be easy when you feel like the world is crashing in around you, but keep trusting Him. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart,and lean not unto you own understanding,acknowledge Him in all your ways,and He WILL direct your path. Do not be wise in you own eyes,fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones.
I don't know if this is going to help anyone, but felt led to share. God keeps pulling me through despite my doubts and fears....He just keeps on seeing us through.

Carrie, I will pray. God knows what He is doing...there is a reason for whatever you are going through. When things just seem unbearable, I try to remember that the pain will be used to help someone else later on...

Thanks,Angela.. yep,lots of issues, but God keeps giving me peace and wisdom. I start to have my emotional stuff and start breaking down, and He keeps showing me stuff and calming me down! I don't like all of what's going on,but knowing its all gonna work out ok helps me through so much. I know I'm not the only one who hurts,and I want others to know how faithful He is even we aren't feeling close to Him...

Amen. Being a mom with all the responsibilites is sometimes taxing and like you say the pressures can get alot. But God is always there to provide strength. Thank you for this encouragement. May God bless and keep you.

know what taryn? Don't worry so much about "trying" to turn from sin. I've heard to love God and do what you want. NOT meaning sin willfully,but when you love someone you won't want to hurt them.. there will be times when hardly any temptations come your way..and days when you are slammed so hard u don't know which way is up. Some days you will resist,some days you will give in. If u give in, confess,repent,and move on. God forgives. As far as the east is from the west..He forgets our sins. We are the ones who hang on to them. And sometimes it helps to not do it again. Get into a good bible teaching church. That's a good start.
