Like you feel you have nothing to live for except for your home in heaven, and you just want God to take you? Â Â I can say yes to this one. Â Sometimes when things just don't make sense...I'm the kind of person that wants to quantify things between my ears...and of course, with God, that is just not always going to happen because we just simply cannot understand things from His perspective. Â However, I will also add that only God can comfort a person's heart in the middle of pain and sorrow. Â I pray he does so for you now. Â In the middle of the storm, He can just reach out and say "Peace be still." as He did for the disciples in that small boat on Lake Galilee.

Guest Butero Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Have any of you ever as a Christian wish that God would just take you home? Like you feel you have nothing to live for except for your home in heaven, and you just want God to take you? This happens to a lot of people when they are severely depressed. You see examples of this in the Bible where someone is in such despair, they are asking God to take their life. They are desiring a way of escape. Hang in there. Most of the time, things look worse and more hopeless than they actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides a very stressful and often awful work environment, I am awed by the possibilities He puts before me every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
