Struggling with everything at the minute

Im so sorry that Life is so tough right now. I have known alot of sorrow in my Life as well many, many deaths of those close to me. I dont have children But im seeing the Love and recognition you have for them in your words here.

May i ask are you a believer in Jesus ?

My children are my world. Yes I am a believer in Jesus

Thank you for your reply. Its nice to no im not alone. Im trying really hard to control everything at the minute, ive been going to Church a lot more to see if that will help me. My priest has told me to try and go to a support group so i have people to talk to, but as i work two jobs and have children, i just dont have time. Which is why i joined up on here. He also told me to try and raise fundsto get back on top of everything, so i have set up a online page but that didnt work. I just feel lost at the minute. Im praying that it will all work out soon.

Hi!sis welcome!welcome! happy to have you here

Maybe take a day off (relax and enjoy the day out with family,make friends (godly friends) . I am a single person no family and living alone outside my country. It is hard sis in my first year here but I tried to make friends whenever I've got a chance... even when I am in the cashier paying for my groceries... I smile and dang! If someone smiles back I've got a new friend already I tell you some of my good friends I found them in the restaurant while eating,in the train and inside the bus

I try to be thankful also everyday and in everything small or big things that way I feel more contented and happy

And lastly...I spend more time reading the bible and praying
God bless you and your family see u around

Hi Lottie, I am Maria, I am a Catholic. I arrived here suffering from very painful bouts of OCD and problems with my job. Being here helped me stand on my feet, because I felt really lonely and rejected at my church. In just a few days of being here I've been offered a job anew and I am sure it is because God is pleased that I want to keep company of other good Christian people and I started praying seriously and studying the Scripture. I really and truly believe in the life-changing power of reading the Scripture.

I wish you the very best in life and also you can email me whenever you want. Many many many Blessings.

Hello and welcome.

Aww, thank you all for your messages. I don't feel so alone now. I do wish I could take some
time off work. But at the minute, we need every penny we can scrape together, we think we may be being evicted in a few weeks, so we need to try and find a new home. Unfortunately the debts that were passed on to me, weren't off very nice people. I will keep trying, and hopefully my efforts will pay off. Thank you all for your kind words, Gob bless to you all

Glory to God! You are welcome sis yayy good to hear that you don't feel so alone now your effort will pay off I am really sure about it have a wonderful day!

Thank you and God bless you too

Hello and welcome sister! I'm terribly sorry you are feeling sad. It's going to be ok. You are a daughter of the Most High God. He LOVES YOU! We love you as a member of the body as well.

I am becoming more and more of a believer in the "fake it til you make it" philosophy.

SMILE. A lot! Help others in any way you can. It is very hard to feel bad while focusing on others, rather than ourselves.

Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up this young sister of ours to you. We ask that Your Mighty, loving Presence will be felt by her in an unmistakable way. Please ease her mind about finances and put her in a place that will be for her good, and Your Glory. In Jesus sweet Name I pray.

My Bible teaches me that I am not just lost for the minute, I was found dead in my transgressions and sins. So, for me I begin to get peace and confidence when I understand thru my spirit, that I must stop everything I'm doing to help myself, and lay all my burdens and gifts all on God via Jesus Christ; and on that Cross of death; I also follow Him off that Cross in His resurrection to a place where I am hidden in Him, at the right hand of the Father. My life has gotten simple (yet, not without cost): I simply rest in His Spirit and obey everything He makes clear for me to do, and I don't worry about anything else. I pray you will accept God's peace. I pray that God will fight your fights. I pray that you will hold tight to your freedom given you by God Himself thru His Son. For God demonstrated His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8).

And yet, I pray on as well...I pray that from looking inward your resolve is to follow His guidance from within to without. I pray the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance...IN HIS HOLY PEOPLE, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. You are not alone! Whether in the world of not of this world any longer, but the choice is yours as to which will bring you its version of peace and good will. Remember God puts us thru circumstances both to move us toward Him and to move us away form things outside of Him. May God richly Bless you.

I know exactly how you feel, I dont have any friends and family either,
the only friends i have are the ones on here.

Psalms 55:22,23
Cast your burden upon the LORD, and He shall sustain you: He shall never allow the righteous to be moved.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in YOU

1 Peter 5:6-8
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon Him; for He cares for you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour

Proverbs 16:3
Commit your works unto the LORD, and your thoughts shall be established.




You should get born again and become a Christian... a follower of Jesus Christ and not a follower of some church's teachings.

And, protestants do the same thing... accept whatever their church tells them without becoming born again (confessing Jesus as your Lord and Savior and inviting Him into your heart and your life)

Please don't tell this person to pray to mary or any of the dead saints, or pray a rosary... that is not scriptural (God never instructed His people to do any of this) just opens the door to the enemy to make matters worse... much worse!

awesome God gave them to you or rather entrusted you with them so im glad to Hear how important they are to you. I personally think that because you feel as if you are getting them down, thats the beginning of the motivation in your Heart to figure out whats going on n your heart and mind. Children i think feed off thier parents attitudes even if they dont realize they do. Nothing makes them happier than when they see joy in thier parents. Sounds like you are a dedicated mother, the world needs more of those for certain.

This may sound strange but there is a point in most everyones Life where they feel the brokenness of a contrite spirit and heart within them and that is the very thing God finds acceptable sacrifice. when were at our Lowest points God is nearest to us.

psalm 34:18-19 "The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Right after your personal relationship with Jesus... right?

If your children come before Jesus, then that makes them idols and as such the devil has an open door to harm them in some way more so than he otherwise would.

We all need to make sure that the Lord is our first love and we love nothing more than Him.

You've certainly had a rough go of things that's for sure. I have some debt too I'm dealing with but nothing to the extent that you have. I'm not sure how you each have the energy to work two jobs. It sounds as if depression has set in. I have asked God to help you with the debt and not to have to work two jobs just to barely survive. You have certainly not let your children down because you and your husband are doing everything that's humanly possible. Hopefully, you will find comfort, support and understanding from the members of this site. Glad to have you join us. Welcome to CC.

This poor woman does not need to hear your harsh preaching. She needs support and understanding and not to have her spiritual life questioned. Try to be a little empathic because that will go a long way.

Wow! Aren't you a sweet little tender thing

What happens if they warm your milk up???

It's not 'harsh' at all to remind someone that Jesus comes before all...
