I am thankful that through it all God was right there with me, giving me hope for a brighter future and for lessons learned. The entry you posted is a major source of encouragement for those of us who've really been through it this year and those who may have a difficult 2009. God is close to us and always will be!<BR/><BR/>JudyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975439489542205451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-8391731314124657702008-12-08T20:56:00.000-06:002008-12-08T20:56:00.000-06:00You've chosen three beautiful promises of God.

She's not a believer and vocal about it. All I could do was look at her,shake my head, and cautiously tell her I would be praying for her. And I am. But the one thing I couldn't share with her was scripture. It's meaningless to her. And for that I was the most sad.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10928563068558130801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-71242301231740396632008-12-04T14:00:00.000-06:002008-12-04T14:00:00.000-06:00I feel very helpless sometimes too to say the righ...I feel very helpless sometimes too to say the right thing.

Everyone's different, but for me, hugs...great big hugs have been a source of comfort. There's not too much we can say that one hug can't translate.

A few years ago I went through the most difficult time in my life. My heart hurt so badly I couldn't even pray. Truthfully, I didn't want to pray. I don't think I even really wanted anyone to listen to me. What helped was knowing that while I couldn't pray, there were others who were praying for me.<BR/>In time, I found my way back. When I did, He wrapped His great arms around me and filled me with a peace that astounded me. The circumstances didn't and really have not changed. But He has a way of gently calling us back.<BR/>Your prayers, sweet girl, are a precious gift you can give to those who are hurting.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937532276250199445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-38514098504189243692008-12-02T15:42:00.001-06:002008-12-02T15:42:00.001-06:00Done.Done.annieologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795613389857625993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-71583024355631044092008-12-02T15:42:00.000-06:002008-12-02T15:42:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.annieologyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795613389857625993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-35550050099445796562008-12-02T14:52:00.000-06:002008-12-02T14:52:00.000-06:00the fact that you care so deeply must mean a lot t...the fact that you care so deeply must mean a lot to those around you. i know for me, i do not want to hear another scripture or be told that "it all works out for good". i just want someone to be there and to listen. and to pray. sounds like you are doing all those things.<BR/><BR/>i agree, i just want the pain and hurt to go away. unfortunately we have to live through this life first! but, oh , the wonderful lessons we learn along the way.<BR/><BR/>thanks for the verses (even though i say i don't want to hear them)<BR/><BR/>~sherylSherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005663095818742053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28207920.post-16959433660089446972008-12-02T14:20:00.000-06:002008-12-02T14:20:00.000-06:00No one can ever really share another persons pain ...No one can ever really share another persons pain or joy. We do the best we can and mostly we hold them in prayer, which you are doing. The main thing is that they know you care and that you are there is they need you.
