Pls send me some strength to go on, as my reserves are all but tapped out.
It has been one struggle after another for so long now .. And i very much doubt God has a place for me in his plan, as I feel far too broken.
God shows up in a big way when we are broken. (And yes, he has a plan for you even if things seem dark r n). Don’t stop praying. Read your Bible. Look up/search all the promises that He has given us. God cannot lie.
Jeremiah 29:11 (one of my favorites)
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.”
Hang in there. It will get better. (Prayers just went up for you.)
I'm praying for you, fren. Hand it over to God as much as you can and let others carry the load for a bit.
🙏 Don't give up, fren. Sometimes the potter breaks us to rebuild us. And remember that nothing is impossible for God. Sending prayers your way. 🙏
"A bruised reed He will not break, A smoldering wick He will not quench, He will faithfully bring forth justice" Isaiah 43:2
This passage is quoted in reference to Jesus:
Matthew 12: 20 - 21
Praying for peace and encouragement to surround you. He will make something good come out of all of this, trust Him.
You're never too broken. Even Hillary could repent, but I doubt she ever will.
I've had a long series of health problems and money problems, but I am passing through them. I am now ending my cancer journey, and my eye problems are abating. In 2017, I could barely walk even using a walking stick. I had severe arthritis in my knees. Now I'm fine. People ask me what I did, and I just tell them I go to church. That's the short way of saying I had hundreds of people praying for me. When I got cancer over two years ago, I even had people in other countries praying for me.
Find a good local church to try out. If you find one that seems okay, try going to Sunday school, where you can make friends and learn more.
Had a bit of a down day until I came across this.

u/MudPuddlePie is absolutely correct:- "God shows up in a big way when we are broken."
For many people who have been blessed enough to experience religious/spiritual epiphany, the lowest point in their lives is separated from the highest point by 30 seconds or so. It is a common theme, "I give up" is the catalyst for tears of joy, grace that heals instantly and a godly perspective that changes everything.
Human consciousness is about to expand dramatically, it's a wave begging to be caught and ridden, because God knows, we have done the hard yards waiting for this bunch of sleepers to finally begin living examined lives.
I cried once for an ex-girlfriend, and then I could not understand why I was enjoying the experience. Everything changed after that and it took about a decade to subside. I would float around 2 inches off the ground, in absolute bliss happy to yield right of way to a seagull or a gnat. Grief transmuted to love. Separation transmuted to love. Loss transmuted to love. The love was like mana from heaven, rendering me whole, I wanted for nothing, filled with a torrent of joy.
It was a long come down, 15 years of waking up a bit less godly every day. I can feel it pulling again.
Godspeed.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone for their ideas, comments and well wishes.
While church and scripture really isnt my scene, I do pray on occasion. I did so today and asked Him for the strength to go on, while crying and feeling very very alone and was pleasantly surprised to feel the weight suddenly shift off me.
Maybe I just needed to let it all out for a short while to start feeling better, or perhaps He was listening and shouldering some of my load in that moment - I dont know, but I am glad I am feeling a touch more positive now than I did when I reached out to you all this morning.
Hi Dropbear my fren, here is Psalm 51,19. "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart - these, O God, You will not despise"
It will get better, it will. With much love and prayer from the UK.
I am sending you strength and love. You are here for a reason and especially during these crazy times. We all get tapped out at some point with this journey. Maybe take a break from all of this and do something that brings you joy. You are definitely in the plan by the way. You wouldn't be here if you weren't. Blessings and peace...
I was there a month ago. Lots of up and downs the past 6 years since covid with family but the last year has been a real low point.
Just remember to pray and treat yourself well. Im not sure of your specifics but I just asked God to help me let it go. I'm still asking, but it's getting easier. I keep telling my sister off in a recurring dream unlike what I didn't do in real life. I've been getting lots of headaches. It isn't natural for me to keep quiet about anything. I have to see her for the first time at a family event on the 29th. I don't know what that will bring.
Peace, love and prayers for you and yours frog.
Thanks very much for your kind words fren.
I'm struggling with more than just a sister fight though it was the thing that put me over the edge last month. There's family health issues, spouse fights and political realities and money - it does feel like a heavy weight sometimes. You aren't alone in feeling like you are drowning. We will make it.
You stay strong too fren. I am here if you ever need a chat or vent.
I am sorry about all your struggles. I will add my prayers to the rest of them here. We're with you fren. Take good care of yourself.
Hang in there buddy! You got this!
Sending you love.
Oz, do not let the other side to dominate any aspect of life, that is what the demons want, just fight like I am doing. They have been trying the same thing to me too which it is to destroy me. I will not let them, I know God is with me and he has showed me over and over and over. I will pray for you that God gives you strength in these difficult times. Everything has a solution. God bless.
Thx fren.
Get outside as much as you can. Let the combined power of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit flow thru and within you. Turn everything over to God for even just a few moments, feel His power and absorb His strength. KNOW that God is always with you. Then simply carry on as best you can and God will provide. Peace be with you.
Sending some love and prayers, fren. Trials and tribulations, it’s why we are here, please don’t forget that God wins.
But why is there only one set of footprints during the times when I was struggling the most???

God is the way.
Be thankful for hard times. There's a plan for you. God may be trying to turn you to another path that will bring you happiness. Every time life craps on me, it turns out better for me in the end. I know it sucks. Hang in there. Trust God!
Being broken is just when God can use you.
1Cor 1:27-28 "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.
God Bless!
I love this, and I'm leaving this other translation here for people like me who sometimes read a KJ passage 38 times and still go "whut."
"Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important." (NIV)
