I agree with you, it is difficult when there is a victim who is close to us involved. I do understand where you are coming from. Our family were dreadfully hurt by someone who is now serving time in prison for what he did. He shows no remorse. Yet I do pray for him and hope he does come to repentence and accepts Christ. Without Christ he would most likely reoffend and this realisation helpped me come to a point of forgiveness. I'll pray for you. what is really hard for me is the law these days dont make a lot of sense,this angers me,that sometimes situations are ignored and the enemies get off scott free,then they go do the same crime again and again, on some innocent victim. i cant comprehend.

Jesus said love your enemies and pray for your enemies and if you dont love your enemies then you dont love god this is not easy when someone close to you gets jumped and battered by a gang ive been praying hard the last couple of days and heard a song about these things Jesus said,and i think god was revealing to me that he created us and put his love into us ,in the begining,in adam and eve. and that he sees the good in all of us what little love that we do have came from him, so that love,comes from god ,even in the smallest degrees,which is him because this love comes from god,and if we dont love others,its the same as not loving him,god,

i just feel so num i dont feel god anymore iknow i need christain fellowship i just cant get motavated

im,really depressed,and dont know what to do about it,still trying to get over my ex boyfriend,dont feel like being around anyone,but know this isnt good for me,feel like staying isolated,i dont know what to do with myself,its been 2 weeks,i was miserable with him,and now its worse,well,sometimes,im ok with it,highs and lows,i was doing better then he called this morning,

i feel the need to be around other believers,i mean like at church i have not been to church in so long,a support group maybe,but if only people were more ,like people in this forum,if you know what i mean,its like,the close fellowship jus seems to not be there,lack of honest comunication,compassion,etc.

Mikado; I was in that place. I lost everything after my fiancee' bailed out on me and I was stuck with a failing business that I had invested everything into plus my good credit. I went through torment and heartbreak and this a year and a half after I returned to Christ. Everytime I opened the Word, I felt it was beating me alive. I prayed and prayed and.....nothing. I finally came to the conclusion that I had gone the wrong way (which I had made bad decisions not according to my calling) and I was a "cut off branch from the vine", that Jesus had "spewed me from His mouth". After loosing all my life's work and my name (credit wise), and a woman I was sure God had put in my life, I felt like life was not worth living if God had left as well. You see, I had gotten caught in many of the falsehoods of preaching that are out there today....and they were not working for me though I "sowed the seeds" of Faith and all that they said to do. Without the Lord, I did not want to go on. I hadn't preached in almost 6 months and pretty much ended my internet ministry as well. I came to full resolve one night that life was not worth living if God had left me as well. I loaded up my 16 ga. shotgun with a solid slug shell, cocked it into the chamber, leaned forward and rested my chin over the barrel and, reached down with my right thumb to pull the trigger. As my thumb reached the trigger, I heard a loud yell in my office (I had moved to my office building couldn't afford a home or rent any longer). I had a security gate at the street, locked, my doors locked, no one could possibly be there. I looked up and around startled and as I panned the room, my eyes fell on a framed enlargement of Eph 2:8-9; "For by Grace are ye Saved THROUGH FAITH...." Then He spoke to me and reminded that the last study I preached was on Faith. I hit the floor weeping and blessing Jesus and repenting. There is far more to this but, never go on feelings or how gloomy our life looks at this moment. The Lord takes us through, not over or around what He allows in our lives. Some of it is for cleansing, some (and I venture to say most) are to build the "Faith Muscle" in our hearts. Faith without any works (not flesh works but excersized actions) is dead we are told by James. i just wanted to thank everyone for being kind,and giving testomonies,much needed here,helped alot,its only been a few days,and ive been feeling god again in my life,i really dont want a relationship,i just want to get close to god ,i can allready feel the joy of my salvation returning,feeling good about being independent,i even had a lenthy prayer this morning,i know gods showing me how selfish ive been,in some situations in my life,and just helping me be a better person through all this,thanks,god bless

im trying to get over a man ive been living with for four years,we just split up and im very depressed,i need some encouragement,please,i know it is gods will,but this is hard .

here i am doing it again ,over and over, the same old rituals day after day,situations,that i know are not good for me,its like i do all the things,i dont want to do,and i dont do what i know i should,i know with all my heart,mind and soal,my very being,the will of god for my exsistance,its not anyones fault but my own,what i allow that goes on in my life,if its not good for me,this being self induced,i do more harm to myself,this is self abuse,this being more harmful,than anything anyone could do to me,this battle with my inner self,between good and evil

thanks everybody,everything everyone has said,is my same thinking,i just have to apply it,thankyou,everyone.
