I was so hurt by my father who raised me! I could not trust! I caused financial harm to this world and it's people! I did not know I could trust even God! I suffered a humungust financial crush and suffered Isolation until I learned to trust my spirital father! Just as the dad's I see giving their daughter's 100% trust I now am able to trust god! He guided me into his arms with his love and grace! I could sing of his love forever! I watched little Girl's hold their dad's hand's on the beach as the scary waves crashed against their feet and the little girl's look up at their daddys happy face until they were able to kick there feet in the waves with all the faith in the world because thir daddy was there to protect them they can be in this world happily again!Like I can becase I got god to hold my hand! I got Got to love me so! I got god to help me grow a flower inside me! Galeane Theriot

Once Lonely; depressed doing my Community service in a Salvation Army hall, I spotted a Beautiful Portrait of Jesus, just His Profile. I stared at it for what seemed a long time and asked myself if Jesus was here with me and If He was than I could let go of these feelings of depression.\nI heard a voice: A soft voice say:\n" My Child, I Know Your Needs and I Will Care For You."\nFrom that day on, I never prayed for Riches,Love,or even Help to turn my Life around.Rather I prayed for Wisdom and Strength because my faith became so strong I knew God would carry me when I thought I could not go on..\nand He has " Always." \nSo try it -You Pray too, he knows what's Best for you even if it's Not what you want and I will pray for you too.\nGod is a Loving God..\nGoodluck and God Bless.

God blessed me by offering me hope in one of my darkest times.  My boyfriend passed away a month ago Saturday and Ihave been taking it really hard. I felt like my life had lost meaning and then my bestfriend was telling me how stressed she was with her bussiness and I offered to help her.  Then I was talking to another boyfriend and he said he wants give us the money to open another office in Dubai.  This was totally what I needed to help me feel like I mattered to someone and I was here making a difference.  God knew how I felt and he put this into play.

You are such a beautiful and spiritually uplifting person!!  All to often we get caught up with life's trials and tribulations and take for granted our blessings.  I can honestly say that God of course because when I've fallen to my lowest points, He always gets me out,  my children who are my reason for living and holding on when I want to give up, my best friend, who is always there for me and she never passes judgment, for my fiancee who loves me unconditionally and healed all my bruises from the past, I'm grateful for my health and for the health of my family, I'm grateful that I wake up every morning.  I am grateful for uplifting people like you who ask questions and help remind people that they have a lot to be thankful and grateful for.

Aww, don't feel so bad you did at least remember right? It sounds like you were playing with your child and doing things that veterans fought so you COULD do them. But what I did was woke up and kissed my husband and told him thank you because he is a veteran. I looked out at the sunny day (bit cold here but sunny) and sent a prayer over seas, praying that God keep the men and women over there now safe. I then did as you did and me and my hubby watched and played and laughed with our blonde haired blue eyes children because WE CAN DAMN IT (lol) What a wonderful thing the vets from the past and today give us eh? The freedom to laugh with our children WHEN WE choose and play WHEN WE choose and teach them of religion WHEN  AND HOW WE choose. Then we went and placed beautiful red, white and blue flowers upon my grandfathers grave and I told him thank you also, why? because I can!!! Huggs sweety and don't be so hard on yourself!!!  Why be? When you were only enjoying your day and child because you can. You remembered and somehow I think people remember every day, I know I do!!!

Like you I pray daily that God would lift me into his arms and carry me home; but then he reminds me that he's not through with what he has for me to do.  I have seizures, as many as 4 to 5 a day, and therefore may lose as many as six hours a day of memory - it is very hard for me as I'm constantly wondering if I even had a day, but knowing full well that I am God's daughter and that the Holy spirit resides within me, and knowing that "I" feel like a burden to my family, God is teaching far greater lessons to those around me.  We may not always like the situation God places us in or how he allows our flesh to be used, but our Spirit is his, so who are we to be anything less than content.  That might not bring you much comfort other than to know you are not alone - you have my permission to contact me if you would like to share more personally you're experiences, as God has had me writing poetry for 20 years that deals with so many issues that I'm sure it is no coincidence he has had me online at this point in time to answer your question.  Heavenly Father, I empathize with this one as you know I too beg with each unconscious state to slip on into your abode, but you keep rudely(!) sending me back to these who I love and who are still needing taught of your mercy and grace, and I am glad each time you send someone into my life, as I can no longer get out, to share how wonderful and merciful you are!  Bring a contentment and peace that passeth understanding into this ones life as you have mine. Amen.

I have had 6 people in my hurt me very badly.  Because of their combined hurt and pain I find it very hard to trust anyone.  I aIso find it hard to believe that there are any good people in the world. I don't trust my child with anyone and I have taught her that the world is a big place filled with people that are looking to get one over on you.  I am a perfectionist wanting only the extremly best for my daughter.  I am also wayyyy over protective, but I am working on it.  I am also kinda a loner because I can't let people get close to me and know my true feelings about anything.  I also teach my daughter (and I know that I shouldn't) not to get close to people because once you do, they will leave you.\n\nMy father- went to prison when I was 7 years old.  Next time I saw him I was 22 years old, and he was in a coffin.  No I haven't gotten over it, still affects me some days.\n\n\n\nmy ex husband- walked out on daughter.  reminded me of what my father did to me, not over it 100%.  probably never will be.\n\nmy husband (married almost 5 years)- had an affair.  Nope, not over it yet.  I am not expecting me to be over it any time soon due to the fact that he willing did this and willing wanted to tear out family apart.  I filed for divorce, but he is trying to make things right.\n\nmy then best friend- for having an affair with my husband.  Lying to my face and then laughing about it behind my back (yeah I overheard a converstation about her laughing about having sex with my husband and how clueless and dumb I am about it).  I am still angry with her in sooo many ways, but you know it was her loss.  I am a great friend to the few people I do hodl close to my heart as friends.\n\nthe man that molested and raped me for years- This has affected me sexually, mentally, and physically.  I have gotten over the fact that it happened to me and my mother did nothing to stop it or protect me from him.  I know that he has an illness that makes him attracted to children, and that is his problem.  I tell anyone I know that might come in contact with him to be warned. \n\nmy mother- mentally and physically abusive to all 4 children.  I have only gotten over this one because I know that she lacked the skills or knowledge to provide anything better.

I was a really good sinner, I worked very hard at it.  Then both my husband and I began to have a lot of supernatural things happen to us.  God was calling us to Him.  And we accepted Christ.  As for myself I was cynical, hard-hearted (I never cried).  I wanted to believe when I watched something on the Christian channel on TV, but thought that I was too evil.  Then Jesus came into my life and everything has changed and even though I may go though some bad times, He is always with me and I am never alone.  I am now filled with hope because I now have a solid future that is built on the Rock of Christ Jesus.  And I know that I know that I know WHERE I'm going to spend eternity,  To those who are reading this and who don't know Jesus, search for Him and you will find Him,  Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.  God Bless You!

Dont lose faith. Your daughter is at an age, where that kind of behavior is very common. I was horrible to my parents when I was that age. I was mean, and spiteful and I felt no guilt about it. I grew out of it, and now have a very strong bond with my mother.\n\nRemember, the Bible tells us all things work together for good, for them that love God. You may not see it now, but God could be using this for something that will someday be a good thing. She may learn a lesson from it, maybe it will bring you closer to him, or maybe it is something even bigger and better. \n\nNone of us know why God does what He does, but we have to have faith in the fact that He knows what He is doing, even if we don't know it yet.

I'm no pastor... I'm an 11 yr old popular on the inside not so much on the outside girl. my testimony is small and you probably don't want to hear it but... I had a (close to) suicidal father and a cheating mother. they soon split but the night before that i prayed to Jesus to take my young sole and wash it clean. my parents never new until my mom and her abusive  new bf split up. i told my mom i was saved and she was so happy!! since then my life has been great (my mom dumped her bf and got married to a great guy) God blessed me!

Oh my sis... Hugs to my sis in the Lord.  I can't imagine how tough it must be.  But girl our Lord is STRONG and He is walkin with you every step of the way... And he's with your family too...  Sometimes the Lord chooses to heal us so that Everyone can see such awesome Proof of His power.  But sometimes... we well endure much so that those around us can see how our Faith sustains.  Look at Joni Eareckson Tada She's been a quadrapoligic for what 30 years... and people can look at her and say Look at the joy she has look at the love she shares despite what she has to deal with everyday.   You can be a WITNESS to how God heals the SPIRIT.... Let Him use you to be a lamp Shining bright.  I don't know if I understand all you have to go through or what your family is going through.  Just make sure that you KNOW and your family Knows... that God is going to give you  Healing no matter what.  Either you'll be healed of this illness and beable to testify to it for years to come... or you'll testify of the peace the Lord gives beyond understand you and HEAL you completely and bring you home... Too many forget that death for a christian isn't God letting you down... it's God giving the Best and COMPLETE healing and being present with the Lord alone could give.  As much as it breaks our hearts when the Lord brings someone home we can rejoice for them.  I'm gonna post you a few scripture addresses so you can look them up...or this email will take you a month to read.  God bless you sister... even by just this... short note from you I can see the Holy Spirit in you and I know He will tell you what to do with your family.  I know he will comfort you and them and hold you all in comfort and peace.  You are in my prayers.   you lil sis in HIM  -- jen

Who cares what Christians or anybody else says, the truth  I know is  when I was going to commit suicide,  I shuck my fist up to heaven and cried out to a God that I knew nothing about, and God in my life changed my life. So you want to know about my God, he's my Father that loves me and wants me to talk to him daily to be able to keep me free from the torment that is in this world.His word promises me a sound mind and I cherish that.

I lived a very sad life as a child.  I seen when my father hit my mom for no reasons, never took us out anywhere, and never showed me and my brothers any kind of love. I am not going to go into details because it would not fit.   I guess you can say I am a traumatized person from events that happened to me.  I grew up being scared and unsecured about myself.  I hated myself.  When I was eleven, my uncle who married my mom's sister, tried to rape me, but thanks to god I got away on time.  School helped to distract me from my problems at home until I got to high school,  in highschool I had really serious depression.  I did not want to go out with my friends.  I did not care what I wore to school.  I did not care what people thought about me.  I tried to kill myself about five times, but somebody always stopped me.  Thanks to god I found the love of my life who cares about me and makes me happy.  He knows about my childhood and does the possible things to help me forget my past.  Ever since I married him I have lived so happy,  he is very inspirational, he makes me feel like I am someone.  I feel so grateful to have him.  At this moment I regret all the things I tried to do to take my life and I realize that their is somebody outthere that can actually change your life into good.  If you really want specific details e-mail me.

I grew up with out a father.\n\nFirst I have an overgrown need to "belong" \nI need to be a good girl...for if I am good enough then my father will find out and he will come looking for me and take me home.  He will realise how much he is missing out on.\nI am far too selfsufficient\nI started having sex at a very young age\nI sought the attention that I was missing from my dad in young men.  "the are you my daddy" syndrome.\nI tended to become involved with men that were not emotionally available or were abusive.  I did not have a good role model nor did I KNOW just how special I am.\n\nIn marriage I led out. And My husband did not get to know how much I needed his love.  Once while watching him play in the yard with our two little girls I noticed I began to cry (something I did not do much - there was no one to catch my tears or so I thought) I realized that I was envious of the relationship between my children and their Dad.  When he came in the house I asked him why he did not love me the way he loved them...His simple yet profound answer was: "because you will not let me"\n\nAlso I have always felt like an accident, like an afterthought. I felt for a long time that I did not deserve to have nice or expensive things..\n\nI have come to a complete new revelation and understanding that all of that was just how I interpreted not having a dad of my own.  It was my choice to deal well with it.  I chose life.

My sister, all fall short of the golry of God, you, me and everyone else! King David new the Commandments yet still he let his fleshly desires send his friend to be killed so David could have his friends wife! And David was called by God "A man after God's own heart.". Jesus miracle on the cross has covered you from these things, and you are right to grieve and be sorry because God loves the penitent(or humble) person! You've done wrong yet so did all the Apostles at one time or another so take heart my sister, for God hasn't abandoned you! I will pray for you and hope that you will do the same for me, and God bless you and have faith!
