Im losing my mind. Ive been losing faith and hope, things keep getting worse. Please dont bash me and please dont send me quotes.

If you don't want advise or preaching, why are you posting your story on a Christian forum. If you know what to do then go do it and quit your whining.

Believers know God's way. For some reason you are having a problem with it. What does that tell you?

Get a pacifier or sugar tit.

You may not know what God’s way is, but there certainly may be others out here that do, and we want you to have the victory in this matter.


Please be open to just giving this matter completely over to the Lord, and allowing Him to have His way in your life and in this whole matter, starting with forgiving your ex, and repenting of bitterness and envy and hatred.


Even if you don’t “feel” like it.


This is His way.


I love you, and am praying for you, however you must listen and humble yourself before God and He will bring about the victory in a situation that seems hopeless.

He did have his way and after all he is God who can stop him. All I know is as time goes by, Im losing faith and hope. No one knows what God is doing. How would you feel if someone is hurting your child, I have forgiven the ex,but she hasnt been stopped. I see nothing to repent for. Im being normal. Im bitter about prayers unanswered, I envy no one. Im not Jesus, then again Im sure Im acting like he would wanting the millstone around the ex's neck instead of mine. It seems the memo got lost somewhere.

Now all that is left is for you to praise Him and thank Him that He is causing all things to work together for good, for both you and your daughter.

When all seems to have gone wrong, the highest expression of faith is to praise and worship the Lord, no matter how you feel.

It will change everything.


Do it every day.


Watch God change your circumstances!

Ive always had a problem with the praise thing, God doesnt need a pat on the back, an atta boy, a way to go God, some of the things God does are good, some are bad, God doesnt need praise,giving him thanks is fine and I do do that.
Praise isnt an expression of faith in the least, it is just thinking God is shallow and will buy these things. Its patronizing,I would think God doesnt like that at all. I would hope he appreciates honesty.

After my divorce my X brainwashed my daughter and turned her against me. Lost contact for a few years but God eventually restored our relationship. I said my prayers too and felt basically ignored by God but now know that He was always there with me. I have said a prayer for God to be with you in your time of need and address this situation in a positive and loving way. Children often suffer greatly in a toxic environment. I have been where you are right now and know it to be a lonely, isolated desolate place. May God be with you now.

That's because you have a problem with God. God is worthy to be praised. Jesus Christ is worthy to be praised. No other is worthy to be praised. It is right to praise and worship God and Jesus Christ. It is wrong to not praise and worship God and Jesus Christ.

The only thing shallow is you. To not worship God and Christ is 'dishonest'. Which places you in a bad category.

Quantrill

Please cut the guy a little slack because he is hurting and in a very bad place right now. I place this member in the good category and he certainly is not shallow or dishonest.

No. He spits in God's face. And you want to cut him some slack?

God inhabits the praises of his people!!!

Through praise and worship their hearts were raised into the joyous presence and peace of God, and provided God a channel for his power to operate in their circumstances. The Bible says that God inhabits in the praises of His people (Psalms 22:3). In other words, God “dwells” in the atmosphere of His praise.

Psalms 50:23 He that offers praise glorifies me!!

You are holy; you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel.

Psalms 148:4 He has raised up a horn for His people, the praise of all His saints, of Israel, a people near to Him. Hallelujah!

John 4:23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."

Hebrews 13:15 - By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of [our] lips giving thanks to his name.
True praise of God, as distinguished from false praise (Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 15:8), is first of all an inward emotion--a gladness and rejoicing of the heart (Psalms 4:7; 33:21), a music of the soul and spirit (Psalms 103:1; Luke 1:46) which no language can adequately express (Psalms 106:2; 2 Corinthians 9:15).

Psalm 103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name.

Psalm 145:3 Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable.

2 Samuel 22:4 "I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies.

Psalm 145:3 Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, And His greatness is unsearchable.

Psalm 96:4 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

Psalm 92:1 It is good to give thanks to the LORD And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;

Romans 14:11 For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

Prayers: remember in your darkest moments to just breathe... no quotes, just genuine advice. Deep breaths. I’ve fell to the depths with my sorros many a times. Please keep trusting God to guide your decisions thru this, tho maybe confusing at times, putting your faith into who your Father made you to be will guide you down paths that lead to clarity and peace, even if it is a bumpy and broken road. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and soul and do not let the works of the enemy break your spirits down any farther. His peace, surpasses all of our understanding, putting us in desperate need to just have faith.

Thank you so very much, what makes it worse is that I raised her by myself for 16 yrs, then due to her disorder, I suddenky became the bad guy and the mother that was never there was the good parent.

Thank you for understanding.and God Bless you and yours

Thank you for the defense, those that havent been in this type of situation dont and cant understand.
God Bless you and those you love.

Ya know why would God need glory?
He is at the very top of all food chains, everywhere in the universe. Qouting me vers allegedly written 2,000 yrs ago and translated so many different times is silly. Mankind has progressed in that time, Id like to think God has as well.

This is well beyond sorrow, you know I cried when my daughter got vaccinations, I feel her pain,her suffering and I cant fix it, I would if I could. God isnt fixing it. There is no road, Im crawling on miles of broken glass and rusty razor blades all because my child isnt herself anymore. Im helpless in this, Im running out of faith and hope and life, I cant die because she would blame herself and get worse or commit suicide. So why arent my prayers good enough? Im not learning any lessons here, in fact quite the opposite.

I’ve dealt
I am deeply moved that your feelings are overwhelming you and spiraling into chaoticness inside of you. There is no cure to grieving... it is pain that has to be experienced and processed and released somehow. I’ve not dealt with your exact situation, but I have almost lost myself due to feelings of hopelessness, anger, confusion, and fear. I’ve cursed God, I’ve mocked him... asking him why he would make such a mess, such a broken shattered window that could never be put back together. I truly truly understand your emotionally charged outcry... it’s debilitating... and I truly pray, that in the midst of the smoke... you will find a way to move forward, to take control, and to use faith that God has a plan for you, that will not fail... The answers come to us, sometimes after the storm of our emotions and desperation clear... and pray that happens for you. 🙏 Best of mental health to you during this storm.

But Im not supposed to take control Im supposed to let God handle this. God's plans fail often,not for him but for those of us here. My answer to all of this is very simple and would take God less than a twinkling of an eye. If I cant implement those answers what good are they?

I pray you are given the needs necessary to take control of the situation. You never have to sit around and wait for God to do anything. Human nature is the power to go and get that sh*t done your self... but trust God, and seek his word, to guide you through your decisions. You are confident in your ways, as would God want you to be in his will. What’s best for your child, physically mentally and spiritually is Gods will. You take control of whatever God has granted you to take control of. Patience is a good thing to keep in your pocket though. I believe that by grace, and mercy... you will piece this together and ultimately achieve what’s best for your daughter. My deepest sympathy to a broken heart. He hears the cry’s of the righteous, and he knows our hearts. And do not become a victim of a narcissist. Rise above, release your anger towards that woman, so your focus can be on the love you have for your daughter. Because the love for her will lead you in straiter paths than the anger for the other. ❤️

I always felt that I should do things on my own, and hopefully they were God inspired, with this everything Im attempting is backfiring. The narcissist is influencing my child, Im inadvertantly a victim in this. THe mother uses my child as a weapon, and hopefully she will turn on her mother soon.

Tell me how to release that anger, she is hurting my baby. but I get the millstone on my neck. Make sense to you?
