Giving up on Life?

Last July was the worst month of my life. I was going through a lot in my marriage and family. This post was saved as a draft since then. It was saved in my drafts and am now posting it. I hope you may find truth and healing from what I went through and my thought process through it all... It seems that we are less eager to accept grace and mercy when we are strong, but when we are weak, well, that is a different story. When a man, or woman, has been stripped of everything that they have, they will become utterly dependent on one of two things. They will either pursue themselves and their selfish desire to deal and heal their pain, which ultimately will never truly heal their hurt or their pain. The second is they can turn to God, which is hard to do as well. When you feel that no one loves you or wants or can know the real you, then the only thing to naturally turn to is yourself. When you turn to yourself, however, you will turn to a humans perspective on life, which will lead to some sort of destruction. When you turn to God, if you can turn to God, you will see life, truth, freedom and light. The reason that I say "if you can turn to God:, is because our pride can still be strong in our weakness. That is why it takes one more ounce of faith to believe God can heal. That is why you must muster up any hope and trust that may lye somewhere inside you. Freedom: Although it may not seem clear at first, following God's path is the only path that will lead to anything beneficial for your life. While on this path as you deal with yourself, your struggles and life, make sure you pray. Pray to God and confess out loud the things that are bringing you down, then confess what is true about you in the eyes of God; how you are loved, adopted by God, a child, a saint and all other phrases that scripture speaks about those who are Gods children. Then quote the scriptures so you can hear, walk and live by truth instead of lies. I hope this blog of weaknesses that I have experienced in my life and how I dealt with them may help someone out there who may happen to scroll by my page.
