I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY OF A FARMER WAKING TO FIND HIS BEST DONKEY HAD FALLEN INTO A HOLE HE TRIED ROPING THE DONKEY TO LIFT IT WITH NO AVAIL ,HE TRIED COAXING IT WITH ROPES AND A FEW FRIENDS PULLING AND TUGGING BUT STILL NO LUCK ,HE WAS SADDENED TO HAVE TO ASK HIS FRIENDS TO HELP BURY THE ANIMAL ALIVE TO STOP THE SUFFERING , SO AS HIS FRIENDS GRABBED THEIR SHOVELS WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES THEY DID WHAT THE HAD TO DO ! BUT TO THEIR UNBELIEF EACH TIME THEY THREW THE DIRT THE DONKEY WOULD STEP UP AND LITTLE BY LITTLE THE MEN REALIZED THIS DONKEY WAS MAKING HIS WAY TO THE TOP ,THE MEN CRIED AS THEY HELPED HIM OUT ONE SHOVEL FULL AT A TIME !
I SAID THAT TO SAY THIS LOL I HAVE BEEN SUCH AN ''ASS'' I NEED HELP IN THE WAY OF PRAYERS .I HAVE BEEN DEPRESSED OVER MANY THINGS ANDBECAUSE MY PRAYERS STOPPED BEING ANSWERED I STOPPED PRAYING AND SIMPLY GAVE UP ON GOD ALLTOGETHER ,JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD THE BIBLE I LEARNED I DIDNT EVEN HAVE A CLUE AND NOW IT SEEMS EVERYTHING IN IT TO ME IS SOMEWHERE ELSE CONTRADICTING ''SO WHAT IS A WOMAN TO TRUST AND BELIEVE '' ?
I NEED SO BADLY FOR IT TO MAKE SENSE TO ME AGAIN ,I NEED SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN AGAIN ,
I FEEL EACH DAY I SEE THINGS FALLING EVEN MORE APART AND ITS SO HARD TO WATCH ! AND FEEL USELESS AS I PRAY KNOWING I TURNED MY BACK ON GOD AND NOW HES PROBABLY NOT EVEN LISTENING TO WHAT I SAY WHEN I DO MUSTER UP A PRAYER !
I AM FRUSTRATED AND I NEED FAITHFUL MEN AND WOMAN TO COME HELP ME HELP MYSELF OUT OF THE RUT .
ITS LIKE I CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE TOP AND EVEN FEEL THE FRESH WARM AIR FILTERING IN TO ME BUT AS HARD AS I TRY I DONT KNOW HOW TO HELP MYSELF OUT ! |

| Dear Tina, This is old school, but I believe that Gos answers every prayer sent His way. Not always to our liking, but to HIS liking. I am a good example of feeling like you do. My daughter is very ill and have prayed for a healing for years. (if you get a chance read my profile and the story on AMy)I was diagnosed with Alhzheimers, yet God is working everything out in the way HE chooses. Please email me or call, I would love to chat with you. It will be OK! Love Patti |

Dear Tina, You did the right thing. I just lifted you up to the Lord. Rest in Him, and let Him comfort you. He's listening, and He knows your heart and you... inside and out.
He will never, ever abandon you.
Your sister in Christ,
Joey

Hi Tina,
Just continue to pray. Never, ever think that he does not hear you or care about you. He will respond, but you know and I know that our time is not his time. We all backslide and just give up but God doesn't. He is still there with us watching and waiting for us to pull him back into our hearts. I am praying for you, my sister and you keep doing what you're doing. GOD ANSWERS ALL PRAYERS, JUST BELIEVE.
Much Love |

| Tina, the love (agape) is strong here! I'm not sure why you left here before, but I'm guessing you felt insignificant and overlooked. Well, to FEEL the love here you have to reach out ... just a little! And it is exactly the same with our Lord. To FEEL his love, we have to reach out just a little! Find him in the pages of scripture, find him in the silence of prayer. Even find him in the glorious praises of your Christian friends! But when we isolate ourselves, sit back and wait for him to come find us, we actually end up retreating from the hand of God already extended to us. I hope you are here to stay! |

| Well the main thing Tina is not to quit. It is easy to look at what is not going right and to feel like all hope is lost. But, remember, God is with you down there in the ditch and your time will come when you will be able to step out of that hole. It just doesn't always happen as quickly as we want it to. You will come out of it stronger and better than ever before, just remember that Jesus is your strength. Hang in there. |

Hi Tina, Have you ever seen the "Dog Whisper"? When Caesar(The DW) has a troublesome pet he goes in to the home and the first thing he does is he "trains" the people! He trains them to break the dog's "focus" and put it on something else! This is what God send the HolySpirit to do for us- He breaks our focus - so we are no longer "looking", actually almost "meditating" on the "hole" - hate to admit that -but we have all done it! We get so consumed, we can tell you what color the hole is, what it smells like down there, what it is made of - we become "hole" experts!!!! We are bright creatures aren't we? And God says, "Wait a minute! Keep your eyes on ME!" He breaks our focus with His Word thru many diverse ways. David, the Psalmist, the shepherd, the giant killer, the king had to do this.... Going to Ziklag, finding everything gone, wife, kids, town! GONE - the Bible says, he broke his focus and went to God and encouraged himself in the Lord .... and did what God said and he recovered all.......ALL and more! Hole or no hole - God is God, His Love is what It is! Enough for us. Who does He say you are, what does He say you are supposed to be doing etc. Looking unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith......He will "finish" it for you Tina! He has a purpose for you --RUN to Him, Start to worship Him like you have never...... Matt. 6:38 -Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteouness and ALL these things will be added unto you. It is amazing how fast we can feel us ascending out.......people are ok, God is waaaaay better! I pray this has helped.... "break your focus" off the hole and put it on the Deliverer- the Answer! Eph 2:6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Tina ~ I don't know you, but Sister ~ You are not alone in your trouble and frustration. This is what Jesus talked about when He said in...
16:33 These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
You should check in on Mike's blog if you haven't already. Marriage is a difficult cross to bear for many of us, yet God is glorified when you obey His Word.
Keep your nose in the "Good Book" as much as you can. READ IT DAILY AND HE WILL RENEW YOUR STRENGTH.
God bless you for your reaching out... That was Him reaching into your heart.
~T.

Good morning Tina,
Your sweet face was the first thing I saw when I logged in. Thank you for writing to me. I am so happy that you feel better! I love you, too. I'm looking forward to some of that poetry you write. That is a (( hint )).
Have a wonderful day, my friend.
