It’s like asking for a soda because you are thirsty and getting an orange juice. You get upset because you didn’t get the soda you wanted but realistically, the orange juice is more nutritious and beneficial than the soda.
You are never too far to return to God. Don’t let ANYONE tell you otherwise.
Living in the moment and feeling pain or feeling sorry for yourself does not mean you lack faith or have no faith. It simply means you’re acknowledging what you’re currently going through but knowing that there is always tomorrow because of our Lord and Savior. Always acknowledge how you currently feel but always remember that there is a tomorrow.
This morning, I received an email that disturbed my heart and soul:
Back in 2016 I considered dying but I didn’t make a plan because I thought their was hope(and because of extreme stubbornness) but then in 2018 I nearly died. Now I’m thinking maybe I should have. Should have ended things before then. I should of made a plan in 2016.. strange thing is I only really considered it once.. I remember thinking things were hopeless many many times but I didn’t consider dying very much..
First of all, I thank God that you are here still. 2016 is about 5 years ago. You are not the same person! You are stronger! The pandemic has affected everyone. It has affected me. I have had plenty of sleepless nights and to this day, I worry. I also miss days of the past and I wish things were better like they were back then. Unfortunately, we cant go back. We take things and events day by day, having one foot go in front of the other. If you walk this earth, you have a purpose! To the person who left this comment; As a Christian, you have forever! Please take time to talk to someone. Talk to a family member, a friend, a colleague, etc. You can also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

We are all in this together!
