Welcome rquinn1997.

Oh my friend... "I don't know what he can do at this point..."? Everything.

If we are reliant upon job, health, savings, friends and yes, even family to make us happy - then happiness is fleeting and illusory. True happiness does not wax and wane like the moon. I think perhaps some of these things on your list were interfering with your ability to find joy - and so they were removed. If you find what you are seeking then I assure you, you will find the price was minimal.

In the middle of your own trials, you find that you can be happy for someone else? Amazing compassion.

Who you seek is seeking you.

Beautiful
Just so awesomely

Good morning Everyone.I'm new to this site.I call my self truebliever here because in jan 2014.I was saved.I'm a 53 yr mom of a special needs adult daughter who has life threatening illness.I'm also a wife.In jan I started having anxiety. The lord led me to Joyce meyer I was watching her when I was saved..I always knew of God, but I never really had a personal relationship with me, till now.Just wanted to introduce my self.If I can help anyone please just yell.Have a bless day.Truebliever

Did Joyce Meyer write the book called "Normal is just a setting on a Hair dryer" I remember her name, and listening to her someplace....ginnie

I am here for you too. Never give up. There are people including me who care. If not for these individuals I have met right here, who knows what emotional turmoil I would be in. Had terrible news today, but somehow It is better because I am not alone, I have God, and I have the folks here to help support me. Hang in there Mark. The more helpless we become, the more we depend on those good souls on earth to support us. Write anytime. My physical ailments are not the only that are important on these boards. WE all matter. God is there Mark, he lives in each and ever one of us who cares about another human soul. ginnie

Whenever I feel like my life if falling apart and that there is no way out, I get this calming feeling from God. It's a feeling I know he gives me to remind me that everything will be alright because He is always with me and won't let me down. He has and always will be there for me to help me to find the light I need to see at the end of the tunnel. He has never let me down. You just have to keep the faith and believe with all of your heart that God will not let you down either because He won't. He is always by our side.

I'm curious Mark, have you some concept of God that you hope exists?

It could be, that if I were looking to buy a car and limited myself to American cars or to red cars, that I might miss a very good deal. There might be a nice white Ferrari for sale right down the road for $600 but I haven't included foreign models or white cars into my search and so I've missed it.

If you are still seeking and still haven't found, perhaps you are putting God into a box that is simply ill-fitting.
