Wow. Thread title: "Drowning in Despair"; article body "Nothing". Talk about nihilistic!

But seriously— are you just experimenting with the blog function, sis? Or are you really feeling like that in your life? If the latter, I'd like to know so I can at the very least pray for you and maybe Vicki and I could offer help in some other way.

I don't think I have come across anyone these days that isn't struggling.

Mattfivefour has a good point. If you need help then do please take up his offer, you can PM him and when he is back from visiting Vicki's family I am sure Matt can still manage to give you some assistance.

My apologies if I have upset you.

I have several illnesses all going on at one time and my earache is just taken so much out I am no use to anyone right now.

All I can suggest is do keep reading God's Word and praying. I was in a very bad place a while back and no one's words could sooth my aching heart only God was able to see me through 6 months of emotional hell. (I have bi-polar and certain events in my life can get me even feeling suicidal, even after all these years in the LOrd).

ISA 61:3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion--
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.
