Well, I think this is a great sight and I believe it has and does a lot of good for people. I hope it will do some good for me. I'm twenty-seven and a brain injury "surviver" (not sure how that works?). I've suffered brain damage for eleven years and eveyday is a tremendous struggle. I have no memory of my life before the accident and very little meemory afterwards. I've attempted sucide several times and I'm having a sever struggle at this moment trying NOT to try it again. I know I suffer depression but, because the damage to my brain is physical, medication does not have much effect. I'm really unhappy with my job - though I know I should be thankful I have a job. I'm in a new state, city and job and I hate it here. I'm so tired of hurting and people treating me like garbage. I know we are to believe that there is greater good in God's plan for each of us but, I feel like...I don't what to feel anymore. All I really feel is the pain left over from the accident. I pray constantly but, it seems as though my prayers don't go any higher than the ceiling. I'm so tired...where is the rest that Jesus spoke about? The releif? What do I do?

Just keep right on praying. God does hear your prayers. Sometimes it does not seem like he is doing anything, but he is, you may not see it now but later you will be able to see it.

I have had ongoing health problems for many years now and it does get tiring. I wake up every moring with the same old problems and no one seems to understand. I pray and pray and pray and feel like i am not going anywhere. That God is ignoring me. But He isn't, He is there we just don't see Him, we aren't looking. We tend to get wrapped up in our problem and don't see what He is actually doing.

I also believe that sometimes God choses not to answer our prayer because He knows that we will have benefited from experiencing it and will be able to help and encourage others.

And another thing, where are you going to church? Being a part of a church has helped me alot and I know that it is something that everyone will benefit from. In the New Testament it is encouraged to hang out with other Christians.

Well anyways, it was just a few thoughts that I had.
I will be praying for you.
God Bless,
Jessica M.

Thank you. It is so easy to become wrapped up in my own problems. I have been going to a new church but, I just don't feel comfortable there. But, I'm trying.

Please keep praying....God does hear you..........and right now is working in your life......first he somehow brought you to this site.....Many people are concerned and praying for you....your attempts at suicide failed...so God does have a purpose for you .....he has a job that he needs you to do......Like me....you may not have found it yet....or it may just be to come here and pray for others....I don't exactly know what mine is....but until he shows me something else...I find so much comfort...so much peace in talking to the Lord daily and praying for people who come here....In the short time I have been coming here...I can't even begin to tell you how he has blessed me....so for now this is what he wants me to do.....Someone needs your prayers...it could even be me.....so look to our Lord and Savior....and know that he loves you.......I would ask that you pray for my granddaughter ,,,Taylor.....she is 6...and has migraines.....she goes to Childrens Hospital the 24th of this month to find out what causes them....if you will just do me this favor and take time to pray for her and our family as we wait through this......you have a purpose....and I know my Lord will bless you...........................Lizzie

Bless your heart, thank you so much for allowing us to pray with you .....from your post i can feel the depth of the hurt and pain that you are experiencing, my prayer is that you will find peace and stillness in the midst of all the hurt, pain and brokenness in your life,know that he is God Almighty and he is able to keep you for he is our refuge and our strength a ver present help in times of trouble, i speak healing,restoration, provision and i bind the spirit of depression and sucide and cast in out in the mighty name of Jesus. I pray that the annointing that flows from calvary will flow through every vein in your body like a healing balm let it bring healing and restoration in Jesus name for the scriptures declare that he will restore the years that the locust has stolen,...i encourage you to start applying the word of God to every area of your life....confess, profess and speak with boldness for the word of God is alive and active.
