Prayers for my broken souls

[lovingsheep]

It is Christmas morning and only because Jesus is so good am I even here right now. The pain that I feel is overwhelming. All I have wanted is to serve God,His people and to glorify Him but my life has been nothing but a miserable failure.
After a devastating couple of years of unthinkable tragedy and heartbreak I thought that I turned the corner last month, with a new job, doing what I love and a booking on a television show discussing God and angels, I thought it was my major breakthrough. Much to my heartbreak and shock the job is already over as the company failed, they did not pay me for my work and we are homeless living out of a motel and now we're penniless and can't pay for our room starting this weekend. After enduring2 years off and on of homelessness. poverty, death in the family, loss of all worldly belongings and now this latest enormous setback, I do not know how much more I can take. Only my Lord and Savior can rescue me from the fiery pit. It is not so much for myself that I grieve but for the pain I am causing my family and loved ones who have done everything they can or are willing to do. God NEVER fails He is perfect but my life has been a disgrace and I do not know how I can ever recover. I'm losing hope and now that I am over 50, I feel my best is over. Please pray for my family and those close to my heart. my precious husband and myself. God bless you.

The deeper the pit you sink into, the harder it will be to climb up on your own power. Call out to God for help and then faithfully wait for His hand, and then when it comes, dont refuse it, no matter whether the opportunity that comes is what you desire or not, for God works in mysterious ways. Praying for your faith!

Praying for your situation, lovingsheep. Just remember to continue being a loving sheep no matter the situation. Keep trusting in God even when it may seem like you are falling off of the world.

Well now that you've got that out of your system, don't you think it's time to move on? The only one who will give up on you, is you. Jesus won't. Pick yourself up and help someone else - there's no better way to start getting out of a hole.

Okay, my post above may seem a bit harsh, and I meant it that way. As a Christian, you can't afford to give up - you need to exercise faith that He knows what is going on. Some of the things you go through are meant to bring you to a fuller understanding of Him and your faith. It ain't pleasant, but it does take you to a higher level if you learn from it.

I too have experienced the bottom like you describe. My particular circumstances are unimportant but just know that if you stick with Him, learn from His ways, and never give up on your faith, He will remain true. To be clear, your situation may not change, but the way you deal with it certainly will and you will become content in any situation you find yourself in. The Lord loves those who have faith in Him - that may be your greatest gift in this life.

Hello loving sheep,

May God‘s sustaining love, grace and mercy continue to uphold you as you go through this kind of trial/suffering in your life to whatever purpose / discipline God allowed all this to fall on you and your family. Don‘t ever forget this sister, that God is good and is loving in His ways, though our circumstances and situations shows differently. A soul under severe trial and testing is more likely tempted to think and say, God has given him/her already a blind eye, and care no more. Just in case, you are already at that point of thinking, that thought is from the devil. Continue to submit
yourself to God, resist the devil and he will fleec(James 4:7). Continue to COMMIT yourself to your faithful CREATOR, in due time, the deliverance and answers that you seek, He will give. Stay still, and be strong!

Praying for you.

p.s.

During trials and testings uhmm even times of confusion, I always like to run in the Book of Job and Psalms.

May you continue to find comfort and strength in God‘s Word.

Keeping you in my prayers, I pray that God may offer you another path, a route out of your grief and pain and that His hand would wrap around you and your family and that you may find shelter under his wings.
