Tell us about your life. Maybe there is help here...

Even Mother Teresa lamented about the silence she received from god. Try not to worry about that part too much.

God always answers prayers. But His answers are either yes, no, or not now.

I too have struggled with wondering why I have had to live with/through depression for the past 10 years. If you are able to concentrate and do some reading, The Purpose Driven Life, helped me come to the reallization that I may not know the whole answer until I arrive in Heaven.
But I did decide that there are at least a couple of reasons I had to go through this. First is to be able to help others who are also suffering. And to be able to teach those who haven't suffered and don't understand how to treat those who do. Maybe this poem I wrote will give you some ray of hope too. The Plan Trees standing tall reaching up to the light Limbs stark and bare against the gray, gloomy sky Some strong and straight, others gnarled and bent All formed to give shelter, by His wondrous plans, To all of God’s creatures, great and quite small. Night skies lit with diamonds Fields carpeted with dew Rainbows sparkling with color His wonders abound, both known and unknown His gifts to His children, if only we’ll see. When all around there is beauty and signs of rebirth Why am I filled with such sadness and pain? When the winds of a storm blow strong through my life Will I stand straight and tall or be stunted and small? Will I bend as the willow or crack and crumble to dust? When my soul is gripped by these dark unknowns And my mind struggles to find the quiet and peace I find strength through the Father and pray every night That tomorrow I’ll see just one little glimpse Of what He has planned for this one tiny person – just me. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to propser you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
