I dont think you rude or arrogant, Ive been praying for many years and earlier this year I dont know why but Im not feeling God with me. Im just fed up with waiting on a maybe, and this ever present millstone.
I often hear the encouragement I need through Contemporary Christian music. Most of the songs are written after the writer experiences worldly trauma.. no I’m not suggesting this will bring you closure l, or answers.... but if you need to bring yourself to be in the right spirits to help you focus clearly on your next steps... it could be a great way. And once again, best of luck, and I know that even though you’ve lost your trust with God, he will never let go of you ❤️

Not being rude,but Id much rather hear cats fighting than contemporary Christian music, its that vain repitition think,ya know. I prefer classical if I want to think, I personally think that Christian music (new or old) is joyful noise. Its pretty awful. Ive always thought joyful noise was laughter, especially that which comes from children.

classical gospel and hymns? In no comparison to your daughter, my 14 year old suffers from anxiety and depression, and I haven’t heard joy from him in quite some time.

NOOOO not classic gospel music or hymns, those are mournful dirges and are anything but joyful. I mean real classical music, Mozart, Bach etc.
Im sorry to hear about your sone, my daughter has those as well, Ive prayed for your son. Hopefully he is in therapy and/or on meds. Take him fishing.

Lord father God, I pray that you intervene into this man's life and guide him as he goes through these trials. I pray that your will be done father, that you cleanse and purify any evil. That his daughter gets the help that she needs for her illness and you bring the three of them together in peaceful terms. Lord we know that through you all things are possible. A merciful, gracious God. In Jesus name we pray Amen!

He is doing both. For now. We did quite a bit of fishing over the summer, hoping to plan a fall trip soon for salmon. 👍 but thank you for your prayers.

Im basically the wrong person to ask, as you may have noticed I barely have a grip on things, Id love to see me baby, I miss her a lot. I have a birthday coming up in a few weeks, it may be the first one without her in 17 yrs. there are many factors involved here. I plead with God to fix some of them, I cant deal with more heartbreak.

Thank you, God Bless you and yours. There will be no peace with the mother involved, she is very evil and vindictive. She uses a mentally ill child as a weapon to get at me. Like Ive said, Ive got the millstone, the mother is fat and happy. This isnt the way things are supposed to be

Another year wiser... use that gift. And I’ll continue to pray for justice for you and your daughter. None of us are the right people to ask for prayer... Ive never been a great prayer... but, it’s just a a matter of getting what’s on the inside out... but by that grace of Jesus Christ, God hears our broken prayers.

I'm with Soc1 on this. The whole premise of the story is flawed. God creates an entire race of beings to keep Him company. He puts that race of beings into a situation where they have no choice but to fail. And when they do fail, He says screw this I'm outta here. If I did that to MY children they'd throw me in jail

Blasphemy!


Pure Blasphemy!


May God forgive you.

I hate to bud in on this but I was just thinking... Ya know the Bible explains that were only here for a brief time and to be lead into eternity. I think you may be jumping the gun on stating that your prayers are going unanswered bubba. With patience that can tell you. Just because your prayers are not answered within your timing doesn't mean that they aren't going to be. We serve a huge God. I struggle to keep faith too bro. I flip flop daily. But as many testimonies I've heard and spiritual experiences I've had... He's with us. Also the fact your stating what you did your still acknowledging his presence. With that I see faith. I could be wrong but just saying. Praying for all us🙌

This lifetime on earth is when Im having the problem, I believe all are made whole in heaven. My timing is all I have. God's doesnt have a time, so its like I said about Odin, he will help if he feels like it.

God's time table is vastly different than ours. What to Him is a twinkling of an eye, is an eternity to us..

I have had 4 children alienated from me by their father. Two are now dead to suicide, one become mentally ill, and the other 2 who are in their 30's I barely ever see. I married a narcissist. God has seen me through this. Anger is a choice.
===============================================
Hep,
you are an amazing person, and very wise...
