Greater Understanding

[Jrick34]

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing well today. I often ask myself "why"? Why do I have to go through this? Why I cant just feel normal and look at things through a positive lens everyday? Then I questioned God...Why must you put me through this? Why me??Then after pray and discernment, the scripture says...."Why not you?".... That's when I began to understand we are battle tested for a reason; we are examples of how we can survive what we are dealing with no matter how hard it may be. And for that Iam grateful that God has placed all of us in each others lives at this moment to encourage one another. If no one has told you today, let me be the first to say you mean something...….and you mean something to me.

So many broken spirits arrive new here every day. One man or woman cannot save the world entire.

You are right, Jrick. We were all given free will so no use blaming God for our own failings or the luck of the draw. This isn't a Holiday Camp where nothing bad ever happens, the G-man doesn't work for Social Services. That's not what this is all about. Ask for help by all means and all prayers are answered. Only not necessarily in the way we were asking.

Just my opinion, of course.

Wish I could agree with you. Having experienced trauma, I lost my faith in God. I served him faithfully for 61 years. He then betrayed me. I am a broken spirit.

This is not a problem, you do not have to have spiritual faith in order to recover from anxiety disorder.

You sweet sweet man, you are a gift. You have a way with words that brings so much comfort and I can only imagine what you have had to suffer to come to that knowledge. Pam

You don't have to be religious to believe why not you! I came to that conclusion a long time ago. Well said though. x

What a lovely post ! Yes we all mean something , even when we go through the crap of anxiety and depression we are important , our own Peace of mind and happiness is important !!!! Everyone here means something to me too. Just knowing I have other people to turn to who truly understand when I can't turn to people in my life . The love and encouragement has helped sooooooo much 😊🙏💜

I agree. Why not me? But that is a hard pill to swallow. I am coming to terms with this. That and the thought that he will never leave me nor desert me.
