Wow. I am so overwhelmed. With the counseling and not knowing what the crap is wrong with me.and just my general me-ness where i cant seem to control my actions sometimes. and i'm sick of feeling so empty and worthless. i'm sick of believing the lies Satan tells me, but i dont know how to believe anything else. and i expect way to much from ben. i

Health and Wealth

It is a mistake to believe that God promises health and wealth for all believers. The apostle paul had neither. Listen to the following sermons and hopefully they will provide clarity.

God Bless

I am not saying that God promises health and wealth. But I do know that God promises to be close to us and give us joy in times of sorrow. Jesus came so we can have an abundant life. Abundance does NOT mean everything will be perfect, you'll be rich and health. He is talking about spirituality and meeting all of our needs.

Stay strong Betsy. Sometimes i'm sure everyone questions themselves and who they are. I still don't even know who I am. But being down and pessimistic will not help you in the search of character, only restrain you from growth. I remember during the play... You were always happy and cheerful. I admire the happiness that you expressed during play rehearsal. I think you are an awesome woman and I pray for the best.

God bless

I am and will be praying for you. It is great that you wrote those scriptures. Hold onto them for dear life...when you don't understand, read, re-read, re-re-read them.

I don't understand exactly what you are experiencing, but I do know Someone Who loves you so much that He gave His life for you...so I'll be in contact with Him, praying diligently for you.

I'm sorry you are going through this, and I wish I could take it away for you, or say something that can magically make it go away, but I can't. I can tell you that I love and respect you so much, and your friendship is so precious to me. You are in my prayers, and in my thoughts. I'm so grateful I've been given the chance to get to know you better. Thanks for the gift of your friendship. Remember that I am always willing to talk, if you ever need someone's shoulder to cry on.
Luv you!

Hey girl,

May God's love and peace surround you. GOD has said, "I will neither leave you nor forsake you, for I have held you in the palm of my hand." He's got you Betsy, and he's holding on to you with all his love and peace and strength. One thing I've learned, is that even though God doesn't seem to be there, He may feel a thousand miles a way...He's THERE. HE IS WITH YOU. He always will be. Sometimes I think that He's testing me, trying to get me to trust Him through FAITH...I am certainly praying for you...expect to hear from me lol :) And you know what? You have been able to express yourself! You just did in your lj! :) and do you know who you are? Your God's heavenly daughter, your HIS! Don't worry about identities...I do the same thing..just concentrate on doing the best you can, God won't give you more than you can handle...and he's right beside you, ready to pick you up and carry you, with His footprints in the sand.

All my love and prayers,
Christina
