I don't want to believe. Because I am scared. I want to believe you because you are really fair. The great people I have met on this board make me believe that you are there but I need more strength because I am weak and need your love as do a lot of us on this board. Please show yourself to me and love us

It is OK to question, to explore, to acknowledge our own weakness in faith. That is the process to faith. Glad to have you here at Neuro Talk. ginnie

Mark, If you allow and ask; pray your eyes will be open to what is happening around you. So often we take for granted or just don't realize God is there. Just the fact that you are asking is showing God you want to know Him. A while back, I had prayed for someone dear to me that was terminally ill. I had prayed asking God to allow certain things to happen before and after his death. The day this person passed; I thanked God that night for allowing me the eyes to see all the beauty of the day. All I asked was granted. Had I not been given the gift to see (because I asked), I would have been very upset what had taken place that day; but again; I and my family saw the "beauty" that took place. When we are scared or worried; God is always there to listen. Gerry |

I felt as you did. Really I did. I will be a friend. No one has to be alone to go through all these issues. We all need someone who can understand our sorrow, our pain and loss. Please keep on trucking, there still is the beauty around you if you will open your eyes. I am in my garden a lot, just clipping away. This brings peace. I listen to Reggae music, which can be so uplifting. I read. I do all kinds of things to take my mind from pain. I also came here and stayed to make new friends. This put me on the path to a better frame of mind. When I came here, I was about ready to chuck it in too. It is 5 years later, many of the same issues but in my head I am better. I so much want that to happen for you. Love, Friendship, these are the things that God gives us to help us. This site can help you to be in a better place. So can God. He will call you on his own time. Allow life to unfold. It can and does get better if you choose to go in that direction. Be at peace. ginnie

Eva,
you have such a big heart and have been through so much. and yet you and these others who have answered my plea really care if i live or die and it is so touching. i can't lie, all i wanted in life was money, cars, women, a fancy house and i was close to getting it all then i fell into a depression and did dangerous thins that led to my subsequent head injuries and downfall. you lost so much and yet you believe that God is there for us. I lost my father 32 years ago and stopped believing then pretty much. i am 46, no kids, everything gone, i feel like i don't matter. what is one person out of 6 billion. why should God care about me. I wasn't happy with money and health. maybe i don't know how to be happy. but i am thankful for you and ginnie and ger who have responded. |

Mark The Lord loves you,and He wants to show you more about who He is. There is a Bible verse in the New Testament,in the book of Romans chapter 10,verse 17 that says this.
So then faith comes by hearing,and hearing by the word of God. This means to read,or listen to the Bible. I would recommend that you get a bible,and start reading it. You might want to start with the gospel of John. I'd also recommend for you to read through the book of Psalm in the old testament. You have nothing to fear reaching out to God. He is there for you,and you are here for Him. Brokenfriend |
