1 | Does Elijah's confession reflect shame? | 1 Kin 19:4 | chynna | 38623 | ||
This may or may not help. After the loss of a loved one, I spent a year in a highly depressed state. I hid it from my husband and children, but there wasn't a day I didn't cry. I'd go so far to say there wasn't a minute of the day that I wasn't cognizant of this fact or my loss. I knew that I should ask someone for help with my grief , but I was too embarrassed. I really believe that God relates to our sorrows and understands them better than we do ourselves. I think at my lowest point, I apologized to God but in my mind I had to hand over my sorrows to Him to carry. I couldn't do it anymore. I find it amazing that you can cry everyday for a year and never run out of tears. He took my sorrow and gave me peace of heart in return. There is an end to sorrow. And killing yourself is not the answer. Since I don't know what is bothering you that makes you so sad, I have no idea if this helps. I hope it does. I'm a very shy person and have trouble reaching out to people. I really think God wants us to reach out to others in times of need. Ironically I find it harder to admit my problems to my family than to strangers on an internet forum. I'm praying for you to be strong through whatever is troubling you and that you find the help you need. I do believe God will take it from you, but sometimes it's a guessing game as to how He is going to take it. It may be directly through Him or He may lead you to someone else. | ||||||

My beloved sister in Christ, Thank you for you kind words and encouragement. It does help to know I'm not the only one to ever feel this way. I mean, I know that in my mind, but to hear it on a personal level does help. I'm so glad that God gave you peace in your sorrow and grief; He is a good God! If you think of me, your prayers would mean alot to me. Elaine |
