I'm not going to go into all the stuff that has taken a COMPLETE crap in my life, but it has. I got no reason to go on. Thus I need prayer. Tons of it. I'm 43 and been there, never thought life could take such a humongous crap on me, in too many ways to list. You don't even need to write anything here, just send prayers to Dan in Madison. God knows who is hurting. It's my last resort. Thank you. |

Dan in Madison, I feel like shit right now, too. Little brother AND mother got diagnosed with serious illnesses got ripped off by an ebay seller (6000 bucks, all I had, paypal won't help) failed some really important job interviews. ...here's something I read a few days ago that REALLY moved me, dunno why: THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN YOU BELIEVE EVERYTHING IS FINISHED. THAT WILL BE THE BEGINNING You're in my prayers, Sir! |
|
Prayers out to you buddy! I went thru a rather trying divorice, with custody issues natch. I've been down wonderig how it could ever work out. I asked the Lord to provide me with an oppertunity to earn the money I was going to need to pay my obligations. And he did. It sure wasn't quite what I had in mind when I asked but it sure met my needs in many ways. Avoid booze, avoid drugs (especially the illegal ones  ), go to bed and get a good night's rest. Hit your knees in the morning and ask the Lord to lift your burden from you. Remember, when you're at the bottom of a deep hole there is only one way out. Up!! |
Some of y'all guys who've been around the block and dealt with hard challenges please PM your phone numbers to our man, and ask him for his number. A human voice sharing personal experience is good medicine, but he needs to talk with guys, not some old lady. ETA -- I mean, not an old lady like me. |
|
Thank you all. And to you that suffer too, wow. If you hurt like I do, I pray for you too. A few of my out of state buddies have tried to call and talk, but it isn't helping. That's why I ask god for help, and prayers to Him. I don't see anything else helping me out. thank you all again, for the prayers. I hope He hears! |

He will not give you anything that you cannot handle Dan and he is walking by your side, even though sometimes it does not seem that way. FOOT PRINTS IN THE SAND One night I had a dream-- I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. "I don't understand why in times when I needed you most, you should leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. "When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." God Bless you Dan, He will get you through these hard times if you look to Him! |
God Bless you too! Please God take away our pain!!!!!!! 
|
I have some health issues going on Dan that cause pain. When I get down and out or think my life is throwing too many problems my way, I try to remember that there is ALWAYS someone worse off than I. |
|
God help us all. I never thought I'd say this but I wish I didn't have my kids. I just want all the crap to go away. I hate being such a wimp. I've always been the strong one, always. I just feel like death. But I have to be strong, HAVE to. Kids. I am so tired of being strong. I even called my dad tonight, he's 75. I cryed (puss, I know). Asked him if I could be his little boy. Just for a little bit... God, I feel so weak!
|
Dan, as cheesy as it may sound: You may feel weak, but confessing this to a crowd of guys who try their best to be strong / macho / deadly / dangerous is being strong in a way, too. No disrespect to any forum members, you all know what I mean. You called your old man. I thought about that several times during the last couple of months, he and I do have a 'difficult' history, though.... I hope he was able to give you some advice, or at least the feeling that calling him was the right thing to do. Dude, try to focus at the light at the end of the tunnel. and NO, that's not the train coming at ya, not this time!!! seriously, even if I can't even imagine what you feel right now, try to keep a cool head and look ahead...and don't drink too much, I'm off to the fridge right now. NOT GOOD |
I hear you (and more importantly, God hears you). If He wanted to bring you home, He would have done so. The fact that He hasn't means He has other plans for you. He wouldn't have those plans if He didn't know you could do it. Know that He has already seen you coming through this, that you have already survived. Know that He has a plan for you, and that He has given you all that you need. |
Listen to that man! |
|
I never meant I didn't want to have my children anymore, it's just that if I didn't I would have no reason to be here. they alone, and maybe God is keeping me from doing some crazy shit. I know that is never an option. could never do that to my girls. Thanks for the prayers all. I had no idea so many complete strangers could ever care so much. I didn't want to write this stuff on here, but I needed help. It's heartening, all the words, the help. Maybe god is trying to help. |
hang in there brother, if you want to talk, IM me and I'll give you my work toll free number. My forthy have been, well let just say trying... I'll pray for you but do me a favor, please do the same for me. Christ is the reason for pressing on, there is alway a leason to be learned from being in the valley, most of the time it takes many years to figure it out. |
|
Several here could tell you stories of my painful journey. I feel your pain and I completely understand about your children being the only thing holding you here on Earth. Hold that close. Know that your daughters need you above all else. PM sent with phone # and for God's sake, get the hell out of that communist shithole of Madison... |
| Dan, I prayed for you. I hope it helps. Sometimes when it feels like you are drowning in a whirlpool and going under, keep kicking. When the water rises and threatens to overcome you and you are so tired you want to succumb and let it all go, keep kicking. Things will change. Life is a cycle of ups and downs. It can only get better if you hang in there. And remember...every disciplined effort will reap a thousand rewards. Your children will need you. You will find joy in them and their children some day. Each and everyone of us is needed here until God sees fit to bring us home. Kick, Dan, swim harder. |
