hey there sad

let me mention something to you that may be helpful

you are calling yourself stupid and asking for prayers

perhaps we have all called ourselves stupid at one time or another (except for the sinless few who look down on the rest of us)

are you aware, that people will tend to act out of how they view themselves? that is a biblical concept...the Bible says to renew our minds and we do that with the Bible...we are to align ourselves with what God says about us and that should be our confession...not I'm stupid or worthless or no good...

believe me, I have said plenty of negative things about myself and others...and it can take some time until we stop doing that...this is not about positive confession and you get what you say...this is about understanding all we are in Christ...that is believing that we now have a changed spirit and we are in agreement with what the Bible says

I am oversimplifying it and this is getting long...but start by refuting that self imposed name of stupid...you are not stupid!

I understand about a splintered family....so does God...

so prayers offered for your family...but also that you would see yourself in a different light

hugs in Jesus

ty for saying I am not stupid, but my family makes me feel stupid bc I do for them and do for them and they alienate me totally. I keep asking them that whatever brought this on can be fixed, but when I tell them that they all call me stupid. None of them are beleivers so they think I am stupid bc I pray to God pleading for his help. I will change my name now tho ty

I understood what was going on

you called yourself stupid because you give and give and get nothing back so you call yourself stupid for loving, trusting and then getting hurt by those you love and trust

totally get that!

you are here...asking for prayer...we are praying...I am...others will...we can only encourage you in the Lord and you are most precious to Him!

you are precious to us also because we are one in Him

He knows...He sees it all....

hi again

I just asked someone who knows, and in order for you to change your name you would have to pay 5.00 but the other thing that you can do, is ask a moderator to delete this account and then you can begin a new one

if you opt not to do either of those things that is still ok...God knows your heart!

Don't feel stupid. God knows your circumstances and will give you the strength and knowledge to know what to do and intervene when needed. Try not to be negative. I do this and it really doesn't help anything as I am learning. Trust God to help you and bring your family in alignment with him. Praying for God to send you blessings.

I have said a prayer for this family. I'm not sure why you chose the screen name that you have as I'm sure that you are not stupid. Glad to have you join us. Welcome to CC.

I think someone once said that 'stupid is what stupid does'; asking for prayer in Jesus' name
is the furthest thing from stupid that anyone could do! :)

Then I suggest you delete your account, choose a more positive user name, and come back under that account. :)

I did not mean for your user name to become the focus

I was simply trying to get you to get your eyes off your situation and yourself

you asked for prayer for a splintered family...God knows who you are no matter what you call yourself

it's ok

You are not stupid. You are human.

We are a fickle bunch us humanoids,and but for the grace and help of God we made it this far.

I wish you well,and remember,he is the "in spite of" God

Big trials reveal a big God.

Watch Him work. He is up to ANY task.

Very nice post.

I love it when the body of Christ pours the oil and wine into the hurting.

I'm called all the time delusional, crazy, stupid, and my favorite simple minded for speaking on Gods word. If people dont know God then all we are to them is these exact words. So you must ask yourself by whos standards are you considered stupid? God's standards or man's standards? I take great pride in the names I am called in the name of God. Because I know the words of God align with my words and as long as I have that, no man can make me believe otherwise.

I echo the response of others. Your name is the only thing I see. And no one deserves to have that for a name.

If you do not want to pay for a name change, do delete the account, and start a new one. But pray about what Biblical and positive name you can use.

My name "Angela" comes from "angelos" in Greek. That word means "messenger." I took that name about 15 years ago, because I believe that God had a message to tell, and he wanted me to tell it!

The message is that Jesus Christ is Lord! And he will heal and restore you, and transform your life!

Of course, my understanding of that calling has grown over the years. So pick a good one! God bless!

In the name of Jesus, "Satan, the blood of Jesus is against you. I hold the blood against you and declare on the authority of God's Word that Jesus' Blood does now overcome you, sin, every sickness, disease, pain, lack, poverty and every evil work. Flee Now in Jesus' Name!" AMEN - So let it be.

soft hearted kind people tend to believe the lies of people who mistreat them, take advantage of them, manipulate them, abuse them, use them and then discard them. I know because I was one of those people. And for me it was long slog out of those bad thinking patterns.

but just look at what Jesus has done for you in your 'new-life' and how you now
have the wisdom and knowledge to help and nurture others!
