I have been dealing with a lot. I am currently battling a severe depression, grieving from the sudden death of my brother from 2012, and the demise of a relationship which left me with little to no self esteem or self worth. I am lonely, unemployed and sometimes feel close to calling it quits an I have to wonder sometimes if god has abandoned me. Today when I was doing laundry, a butterfly flew towards me. At first I tried to shoo it away, but it dodged my efforts and landed on the clothes n the basket I was carrying. It stayed there, even as I moved my hand towards it. It eventually flew away, but I can't help but wonder if it is a sign.

Here is a song that says something that might cheer you up and let you know you are not alone.

[h=2]AVALON LYRICS[/h]
"Orphans Of God"
Who here among us has not been broken
Who here among us is without guilt or pain
So oft' abandoned by our transgressions
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

There are no strangers
There are no outcasts
There are no orphans of God
So many fallen, but hallelujah
There are no orphans of God

Come ye unwanted and find affection
Come all ye weary, come and lay down your head
Come ye unworthy, you are my brother
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

O blessed Father, look down upon us
We are Your children, we need Your love
We run before Your throne of mercy
And seek Your face to rise above

Give me one reason why it would not be a sign?

Dear Father In Heaven

Please be with Tippb and help her as she is enduring this trial. She has suffered loss in her family Father and she needs Your comfort, she has suffered loss in a relationship, please place Your arms of love around her and whisper in her ear just how much You love her. She is without employment and she needs to get a job, so please provide a way out and a job that she will want to work at. Please give her the encouragement that she needs and lift her spirits.

We thank You for the beautiful butterfly that flew in to give a brief respite in this sadness and gloom that has surrounded her of late. Father I ask that Your Son burst forth in brightness to lighten her path and bring her peace and joy that passes all understanding. That she will reconnect with You and read Your word and as she does this that You will speak directly to her and show her which path to travel that will lead straight to You. That she will pray and pour out her needs to You.

Protect her from the enemy who would like to keep her in a depressed state of mind and shower her with hope for better tomorrows that will turn into todays. Give her strength for the journey she must travel and assurance that You walk beside her holding her hand I pray in Jesus Name Amen.

Child of God. The troubles of life can grow far larger than we are. Isn't it true that the most profound joy you have experienced was also larger than you? Life is an ocean. The waves will swell and fall and all anyone can do is ride the waves. Paddle when you can but all in all we must ride out the storm. You are a child of THE HOLY GOD!! THE FATHER OF ALL CREATION!! HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND!! child. If He wants to send you a butterfly to give you comfort and confidence He will. In fact it may be time that you trust God to such an extent that you release all coincidences from your life. EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Stand on the rock which is Jesus Christ. For you are His.
