Heavenly Father we thank you that your word says in Lamentations 3:22-24 that your steadfast love never ceases, your mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning and great is your faithfulness to us. Father please be with Happy and Rod this evening and bring rest to their minds and bodies with a peaceful nights sleep. Put a new song of joy in their hearts and bring your comforts to their souls. Bring to remembrance your goodness and faithfulness of the past and instill faith and hope for the future. Father Psalm 139:17 & 18 tells how precious your thoughts are towards us and how vast is the sum of them and that if it were possible to number them they would outnumber the sand! Jeremiah 29:11 tells these thoughts are of peace and hope for the future. Please remind Happy that when she calls out to you in prayer your response is always "Happy!!, I was just thinking about you!". Isaiah 40 28-31 tells us that you never grow tired or weak and that our sustaining strength is from you. In Jesus name, Amen

Thank you, tonight I was so concerned for Rod, he looked like he was dying in front of me, it's the brain damage, he couldn't handle it tonight. I cried out to God, it was that serious. Tonight I pray the Lord helps Rod be more peaceful in his head. Its devastating to see him suffering. Your message brings hope.Amen

Thank you heavenly Father for Happy and Rod. We pray that you will heal Rods stomach and ease whatever discomfort he has. Please give him the peace of mind he needs and strengthen his faith to trust in you. Please bless Happys day and give them all a restful nights sleep. In Jesus name, Amen.

I saw a TV programme and it was a snap shot of the housing in the UK. Very upsetting because we too have to live in drug alcohol and really annoying neighbours, where they just try to destroy your sense of pride etc. I'm so down because everything we do is a fight, our money, our housing everything. Where does it all end. My partners health is up and down. I worry for him so much. I ask God to lift us out of our misery, in the next year or so it's going to be hard I sense it.
is Rod suffering depression? I am guessing that is part of what is going on here. Does Rod have a drug problem? I am not asking to be mean I am curious because there are ways to help his illness. So he does not have to suffer anymore or as bad.... If it is drugs that are his demon he needs to get to a detox and try to make a plan to live a sober life.. If it is depression he can get on some medication and slowly try to build himself up to a point where he feels good about himself and life then he can tackle things head on.. God can help give him strength and courage on his way to be healed. But if this circle keeps going round and round it is likely to never change. AN action has to happen for this circle to change it's ways. if he suffes from depression get him to a mental health clinic... Like I said I am unsure of his illness all i know is i had the deepest depression anyone could possibly have and one day I was just like I can not live this way anymore. I have to fix me fix this or I will never get out of it... It took a very long time I will not lie but I am finally well on my way even with a few days that I call set backs.

oh ok I am sorry for that. I understand he gets tired and such. Let me ask is he bedridden? can he get around can he speak???? I am asking because maybe it is time to get up and doing things that he can do instead of both of you sitting around watching and waiting for the next thing to happen so to speak. I do not mean to be harsh but no one can live good trapped in bed or on the sofa 24 seven not going any where or doing anything.. if he can still walk and enjoy things then you both should try to get out go for a small stroll go to a movie or just even sit on a park bench and watch the sun and the birds etc...I almost feel that you guys are giving each other anxiety. he worries about you you worry about him. Try going two days with a lot less worry and a lot more enjoying nature. Make a rule that you will not discuss anything medical during day time hours unless it is a huge emergency... start there...

Hi jennifer, I think because I've nearly lost him through the beginning, it show I care he's ok. We do go out as My partner walks the dog, I don't walk to much because of bad feet, but go out in car if Rod takes me. I'm praying we get a move next year to a better area, it is quite bad here with noise neighbours and drugs etc. sometimes my partner sleeps alot. I apologise if I come over has an quivering wreck, I don't mean it. Thanks for your kind message.

Today I feel quite overwhelmed. I feel me asking God to understand. I feel that I want to explain my life. I don't know how much more to care for My partner. It also showing on TV all adult people that was abused when they was kids. Which touches me to cry. I myself have felt that it should be in the open.

I was 13 and a Pakistan man in a shop tried to abuse me. Thank God I was on a period. But our bodies are our temples. That's why today I feel My partner Rod is the only person I've ever cared for, I know he's poorly today, and it makes me sad. I'm crying out inside for normality and a stress free life.

I want God to see how tired I get, especially when Rod is exhausted. His mother just doesn't understand him, he shattered trying to help her do things. I pray God's holds me up to cope with things. Amen I try hard to be genuine.
Turn it over to the Lord Happyface. We all know a new year is coming, that's reality, sometimes it's hard to have faith when you don't see ahead, or feel when you feel your in a winter blizzard, and the way is blizzard windy and distressed. The Joy of the Lord is our strength, look how great God is, and thank him for all the good things he has given you both. The things that seem overwhelming are like little ants before a great God who is able.
He Yahweh Jehovah our provider is able.

I don't know if it's part of Rods ill health but tonight he was really cold, my feet hurt also and we have both said it's a very cold house this. It doesn't help matters. Tonight he seemed very angry and letting everything annoy him. He thinks his mother is making excuses not to see his grown up kids, and he thinks his own brother was trying to get rid of him today. I really feel upset they can't see how poorly he gets. we are worried about his tummy, it still affects him and looks bloated. I'm not sure how poorly he is but we need some understanding. He's had a tummy scan but I'm worried it's something else. I continue to pray God helps us and Rod with his anxiety. I don't think he's well.
