Not allot, but I am quite familiar with  the above mentioned verses.  Although the demands the lord is asking ARE SO  extreme, I think I'll just wait on the sidelines until the last moment and just before I die, well,....... well then if ,...if all else fails , I 'll jump in at the last minute!  Hey, what's the Good lord going to do, ..,.Throw me back out?  NOT., I'll be a keeper!

Life is a constant journey. Sometimes you have a nice road to run along sometimes deep trenches, the idea is go slow on the trenches make the time spent over the trench as less painful as possible. I have more than my proportion of bad moods or you can say bad times. The best way I say is call up a long forgotten friend and talk about the good things of the past. \nIf I am too frustrated to call a friend, I listen a soothing song and sometimes to a track which I myself can sing out loud. I have one song which I listen to in such moods and sing so loud so as to let go my frustrations out with that song. \nThan I try watching people or situations who are worst than us. Maybe the beggar on the street or the rag picker, whose existence is virtually unknown to the world, and appreciate the fact that god has given me lot more than I deserve. \nI become optimistic again on thinking, I came to this world "naked" and HE provided me with comfort, love, support & a lot of what I am today. So say a little prayer, thank him, make peace with my soul and get to work again. I think being a little bit spiritual helps in getting out of such situations quickly.

One of my favorite verses, and actually one of the two verses that I try to live my life by.  The other being "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will then be given to you".\n\nThe verse "he that seeks to keep his life shall lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it" means to me....that the more I give up my "rights" in life, the less I go after what I think I want for myself, the more I give up pursuing the things of the "world" and the more I give up my life for Jesus to do with as He pleases...the more "myself" I truly become.\n\nI never have felt more at peace, more my true self, then when I have given up my own will and choices and asked Jesus to guide my every step, thought, word.  Funny, isn't it?  You think by serving yourself you'd get what you want in life.  I've found by serving Him first (which means, putting others first), that's when I've found true happiness and fulfillment.

My favorite is Hebrews 4:16:  "Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need."  This verse is my favorite, because it is so comforting.  It reminds me that even during hard times, I'm not alone, and that God is always there.

Jesus loves you. Get a bible and read to know how. Read it even if you don't feel like. That will change your life. Believe me it has changed mine!

I would be happy to pray for you consistenly!!!  I can tell you this there is nothing that the Lord will give you that you can not handle..sometimes He gives us things so that we can grow, and learn more about Him!  The Bible says...cast your burdens on to me... He will carry you when you are weak if you lay your problems at His feet and seek His Face.  The Word also says that the Lord is your strength and your refuge!!!  Seek Him with all your heart and He will embrace you and help you through this tough time you are going thru.  I pray Gods blessings upon your life and that He would surround you in His Amazing Love and carry you through this time that you are weak.  I pray that He would touch you from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet and that He would send a legion of Angels to surround you in a hedge of protection.  Remember that what the Enemy meant for Bad the Lord will turn it to Good for His Kingdom!!!

Psalm 51:10-11\n10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,\n \nAnd renew a steadfast spirit within me.\n \n11 Do not cast me away from Your presence,\n \nAnd do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.\n\nI sing this to the Lord all the time.\nAsk the Lord to help you in what your weakness is and ask for strength and help.\nContinue in His Word and Pray!\n\nGod Bless you!

Pray, and give God thanks for what you do have - even if it is only His grace! As it is written, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."\n\nI also recommend reading the Psalms....great men of God like King David also went through periods of great despair.\n\nOh, one more thing...regarding the "good guys never win" comment....keep in mind that the finish line is not here, it is in heaven. And so as it is written, "Many who are last will be first and many who are first will be last..." Jesus Himself didn't appear to "win" here on earth (to those with worldly eyes)...but truth be told He triumphed.\n\nGod Bless....

I do, and I try to find something that I can relate to, not just reading any chapter & verse. God works in mysterious ways. Ask him to guide your eyes and fingers to what He wants you to know. Ask Him to speak to you through this devotion time. AND HE WILL...God Bless
