It is the middle of the night, but there are people around. There is a good God who sees us daytime and darktime. He sees us all the time and looks at us with love.

I wish I could make it better for you; I have spent many nights just like what you describe now. It was even worse when I did not know why I was so terrified - the unknown is always tougher to handle.

I do care and I know other's do too. When I am up hurting I do what I can to comfort myself and I talk to God about how we feel and how hard it is to get by that day. Somehow I get through and it gets better again.

Just as day always follows the night, our moods and feelings change. They do not stay bad/scary/painful/etc. forever. Good times and healing come too and we have had times of joy/relief/confidence/fun/etc. come again.

It will not always be this bad. You can heal and you all can recover. On bad days/nights the deal is "just don't quit". The bottom-line is just don't give up and give in. Someday it will be better.

I will talk to God and ask Him to help you get through this one night and you will. I have to go to bed soon or I will not be able to function tomorrow. My daughter has had a break-in and I will need to be there for her tomorrow. The people I care for are part of what helps me keep on.

Sending Gentle Hugs if they will help anyone
