Dear Sis! I don't know what to say other than "With man it is impossible, but with God ALL things are possible!"
I'm praying for you Alexx...I'm so sorry that all those horrible things have happened to you. Keep your faith that Jesus knows and He cares! I do too! Hugs to you, and your little family!
May God comfort, provide for you, and give you hope!
Your sis in Christ~Lauren

Sis in Christ-
I know much of what you are feeling right now and understand considerably what you have experienced.
I know from personal experience over the last 15 years, loss, division and interference of negative worldly attractions and thier destructive nature for us. But, thru especially the last five years and most recently as well, God has proven He had never left me.
He hasn't left you either. Remember this Sis- even if we distance ourselves quite a ways away from God, He still patiently waits for us to return to Him. But, He is still there, loving us and calling us back to Him.
If we come honestly to Him, God will provide the way each of us can bring our troubles distracting us and be able to leave them at Jesus' feet so God can help us get our minds and hearts back directed fully towards Him again.
First, it takes work. Why? secondly- it takes humility to realize we just can't do this anymore alone. That we need God's help. How God will help you to leave troubles to Him to take care of will be individual for the person you are. But, it can happen, if earnestly seek God to take over and take care of things for you that are out of control.
I pray this helps. God Bless Sis in Christ!! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Lord- I pray that you would help this young lady to find the way to leave these troubles taking so much toll on her at your feet, and let you take over and straiten all situations out. We pray for peace and harmony to be brought back to this family, healing and restorations as you deem appropriate and love and compassion once again, with all hearts brought to being fully directed towards you. In Jesus Name- Amen!!

Alexx, I understand what you're going through. In the past 5 years, I've had a nervous breakdown, my brother's addiction to alcohol has virtually destroyed his relationship with me and our sister, my unsaved father had open heart surgery and I was terrified he was going to die in his sins, my mom has had her share of health problems and she is also unsaved, and one of my nephews decided he is an atheist!! All this plus the terrorist attacks, the countless natural disasters, and also, it took my psychiatrist 2.5 years to find an antidepressant that would help me come out of my depression for longer than 5 or 6 weeks!!!! Yes, I feel ineffective to preach the Gospel, but then again, I realize that's just a lie from the enemy, and I'm fighting to be able to find some way to be used by the Lord, because I, too, understand that the time is very short. Please pray for me, and I'll be praying for you, too!!! Thanks so much. Also, keep us all informed of how you're doing. God bless you.
YBIC,
Bob
