Please don't give up hope.You might feel like it's all going wrong at the moment but it won't always be like this.I will pray for you.You have to think positively don't concentrate on the negatives think what you can gain from putting yourself first for once and making some changes.Everything will fall into place.

Answer 2

I'm sorry for your hardship.

Waiting on god to do something to improve your life will ensure that nothing changes.

You must take the steps to make the change.

Start wherever you can; find a new job, meet new people, or even make an entire change of life and just move somewhere completely different.

Good luck, I wish you the best.

Answer 3

how is your walk with God? Do you have faith in God? I do not know your past, but this is now. You must get down on your knees and pray to God, repent your sins to him, as God to come into your heart and be your Lord and savior. You will be healed with in time. don't give up my brother in Christ, things will get better for you. This down time in your life might be the start of a new and better life God has planed. Pray my friend. Get the bible and read and pray. I know things will start to look up, once you repent and have faith in God.

Answer 4

Are you in good health?
That is a major thing to be grateful for. I'll bet there are a lot of people out there who would love to trade places with you.
Also, please stop feeling for yourself because there are a lot of people out there so much worse off than you. You've gone through some hard times, and your resentment is understandable, but also know that time heals all wounds.
I know it's hard, but try to remember the happy times in your life.
Good luck. Happy Thanksgiving.

A man with eight PhDs - he was proud of his achievement - met a monk. The monk asked him, "Why have you been so foolish in life?" The man said: "But I have eight PhDs!"

"I have understood you; it is foolish to spend the best part of life reading instead of enjoying the birds, stars and the moon", said the monk.

"You may have knowledge but not clarity; you may know a lot and yet understand nothing".

What does one have to understand about life?

You have many centres: Intellectual centre, an emotional centre and a body centre. In each centre, there is a mechanical and magnetic part. The mechanical part acts like a machine while the magnetic part acts with ore awareness.

You have to transform yourself. Your mechanical movements and thinking have to change. Your mechanical emotions like jea- lousy and hatred have to be overcome. You can do this by bringing in more awareness.

Then a complete being will emerge. When you increase awareness, even poison can turn into medicine; and with no awareness, medicine can become poison.

Why are we so mechanical?

A king dreamt that he was a beggar. His guru, in his dreams, told him the truth that he was a king and not a beggar. Now was he to argue with his guru or just wake up?

The question of "why" cannot be answered. When did time begin? You cannot answer such a question. Which came first, egg or hen? There is a logical fallacy in the very question. Realise that we are mechanical. Bring in more awareness and see the life-transformation.

Even inert objects have life. Treat any object with loving awareness and it will guide you mysteriously. Your intuition and purity have to increase to receive this message. When you bathe, lovingly talk to water.

In a relationship, is it not necessary to judge? >>

In a relationship, is it not necessary to judge?

Keep yourself relaxed. Increase your awareness and love. Not to judge should not be a conclusion. Don't make it a demand or compulsion. Let there be a choice. There is a difference between "should' and "choice'.

"Should' creates stress; it limits you to only one option. Choose not to judge. It is not a demand but a wise choice.

The danger of judgment is that you stop seeing the object of judgment and you are more in your judgment.

In life, you have to make judgments, but don't be a victim of your judgments. Suppose a thief enters your house, you have to judge him but then, be open to the possibility that he could change.

Suppose you meet him after 10 years, see if he has changed or not. Do you still judge from the memory that he has been a thief? If you do not have this awareness, you will not see the change in a person even if he has changed.

What should one be really aware of?

Negative emotions poison. Like avoiding poisonous food, avoid negative emotions. Don't identify with them. Don't participate in them. Choose to create a new will, not be driven by negative emotions.

They deplete your energy. They keep you asleep. They are harmful and heavy. They make your life complicated. For example somebody's success should not be your failure. We define our failure by somebody's success.

We feel jealous seeing someone successful. Jealousy is a great poison.

Compete with your potential. Even if you compete with others, enjoy it. See beauty all around. Do not define your success and failure by someone's success and failure.

you must understand that their is a reason for this. Job sufferd many tribulations. if your a christian or not you must look into the spirituality of the bibles teaching. Our batle is not against flesh and blood but princeapalities of powers in high and low places. etc... Satan and his minions try to destroy familys and relations. For whatever reason your under attack and need to seek understanding into jesus wisdom. i have had many difficulties like many of us on earth and know that many times i have been spiritualy opressed. its possible you have something important left to do. Pick up what you have and walk,seek the lord while he is still to be found and stay bizzy. excersize is good

Answer 7

I've had my ups and downs, like most people, and I discovered long ago that nothing clears my head of doubts and fears so well and so quickly as getting up and doing something for those in need. It puts one's problems in perspective and stands you up straight again, proving that you're not powerless against your circumstances.

Help serve breakfast at the local soup kitchen this weekend. They need your help, and it might do you some good.

Answer 8

You are sucking air, be thankful for that. My dad died eight months ago after suffering horribly with cancer. He would be thankful for life. How dare you be so ungrateful, get on your knees, boy. Perhaps if you were not so miserable, your wife would have found a reason to stay with you.

I'm sorry this is so harsh, but you need to wake up!!!

God Bless You

Answer 9

God answers all prayers. You are not listening. Go to God not asking for things. Thank him for what you have. There are people that would love to be able to walk, there are people that would love to be able to breath, and there are people that would be able to see or hear. You work,I can't find a job. You are in my prayers. You know the sometime God answer is,"no, not now."

Answer 10

You have to love and respect yourself before others will love and respect you. I think it's time for a change. When you pray ask God to help to his will and to be the best you can be and when you do that, you will be happier and he will answer your prayer.

I think you need to work on you. You definately are in my prayers.
