Hey everyone,

I am away from home and I miss it very much. I miss my family, my dog and my home. I haven't even been having proper healthy food at all.
I am afraid I've been gaining weight and not only that I've injured my foot. I think I've either sprained it or caused the muscle underneath to tear.

I've been working really late hours, and waking up really early, all the while limping. I am in pain when I walk.

I feel like a bird that's been injured and fallen on the wayside. God feels far away just as much as home does. I do talk to my parents regularly but I still feel like there's a huge gap in my heart.

I feel like all the people I love dearly have been shifted away from me, and all I could do is cry. Maybe I am being emotional but I need God so much. The state of change in the system is not easy for me to deal with.

If you could keep me in your prayers or share a passage from the Word, I would be very grateful.

Thank you ,

Regards,
Rachel

Huge hugs Rachel, all you ask is in my daily prayers in Jesus. :)

Jesus is very much with you, sometime our difficulties seems so huge, they get in the way of seeing Him.
Take your eyes of the problems, and look only to Jesus with praise, you will be dazzled by His care and love for you.
For it is in times like these, that Jesus teaches us just how presant He is. :)

Ill be praying :)
God bless

Praying for you.. in the meantime.. (Hope thou in God)

Psalm 42


As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God.
My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God:
when shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my meat day and night,
while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?


When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me:
for I had gone with the multitude,
I went with them to the house of God,
with the voice of joy and praise,
with a multitude that kept holyday.


Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted in me?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.


O my God, my soul is cast down within me:
therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan,
and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.


Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:
all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the day time,
and in the night his song shall be with me,
and my prayer unto the God of my life.


I will say unto God my rock,
Why hast thou forgotten me?
why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?


As with a sword in my bones,
mine enemies reproach me;
while they say daily unto me,
Where is thy God?


Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
and why art thou disquieted within me?
hope thou in God:
for I shall yet praise him,
who is the health of my countenance, and my God.
 
When thou passest through the waters, I*will be*with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee....For I*am*the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour...Is.43:2-4

God is with you through it all little lamb.
 
Thank you, everyone for the prayers and the passages from Scripture.

It's been a bit hard, but I will try to keep my focus only on God. He is everywhere and I trust and praise Him that He will take me out of this.

So thank you so much once again.

God bless you all.

Much love and warm regards,

Rachel
 
Hey Rachel, I am praying for you. I will share a similar experience with you which happened to me in my recent past. God was faithful in that situation and I hope it will encourage you. I will send it as private message since this is public here.
