Oh, this thread is so heartbreaking... I have been crying while reading all these posts. 😪
I had started communicating with her by phone last spring and it was evident she had a caring, sweet heart but was carrying so much hurt and anger. Unfortunately I had been dealing with serious illness after contracting COVID-19 and a cancer diagnosis and had lost contact with her in the past couple months while I was dealing with all that. I had texted her a couple times but didn't hear back. Lord, forgive me for not trying to reach out more when she really needed a friend... I pray it's not too late. I hope God has wrapped His arms around our sister and comforted her with His love. ❤

It's definitely some challenging times, but if we keep our eyes on God, and not our problems, then life is worth living.
Everyone faces problems, but it's how you handle them. Some people have tons of wealth, but they have all kinds of health concerns. Others are barely getting by, but have outstanding health compared to many. The trick is, figure out your blessings, and use them for doing good.
Wishing for death sounds like a mental disorder, this isn't normal at all. Seek professional help, if you are not well.
I have been battling a few things myself, but keep turning to God. Sometimes things are not working out, but then, God steps in and reminds me that I'm very blessed. Looking back at everything, there is nothing to complain about. God is so good.
It really all in the mind maybe. Do we trust God, or do we trust ourselves. I feel double minded sometimes and doubt once in awhile, but seeking Jesus puts me back on track.
Our lives might not be pretty sometimes, but a quick change of perspective, can fix it. Keep trusting in God!

Sure. I'm sure some of us have had that mindset. I admit that I have.
If you believe in God, if you know Him, then you believe He can do the impossible. If you believe He can call you home at any moment, then having faith that He can and will do wonders in your life is no different.
We blame God for not answering prayers or moving mountains we want moved. We pray for changes in our lives but we aren't willing to hand our lives over to Him. He waits for that invitation. The seed is planted and we expect the growth and rewards NOW. Fruit is cultivated over seasons. Often, His children let impatience and frustrations whither us on the vine. Keep letting Him do His work in your heart and mind. Let Him work and understand that He never gives up, His timing is just different than yours, He is working all things (you don't even know about) for your good...ALL the time!
If you can imagine the delicate and elaborate plans and possibilities, you will begin to understand and find joy in how marvelous He truly is. He is invested so much in you, nothing can pluck you from His hand.
