Posting for Chris...
There are many troubles and testings for the Christian and many a time we panic, wondering if it is only us who are being seemingly passed over by God.
Does He still love us? Have we done something terrible, unforgivable?
Why is everyone else happy and praising Him for His goodness and mercy? What am I meant to do, what does He expect me to do at this time of doubt and fear?
When reading the Bible brings no light, prayer seems to go unheard, or at least unanswered I find the words of the great hymn, "Just as I am without one plea" shedding some light.

When we are "Tossed about" with "fighting and fears, within, without" we look to the only One Who can help, and we cling to Him.
When, as a child, we had to go out with a parent on a dark night, it was good to hold on to that big hand as we went sightless into the dark.
Never for a moment would a loving father let go of a young child's hand, never for a moment does our loving Father let go of us as we walk through a dark night of the soul.
We must just trust when we cannot see and cling on when we cannot hope. For some times even our hopes seem futile, but things are never as they seem in God's Kingdom, "seeing is believing" is what the world says, but for the children, "believing is seeing!!!" Hebrews ch 6 v 9-20.
Remember that all who ask for prayer on here are sure of getting it. There are many wonderful prayer warriors on here and when you need prayer for yourself, starting to pray for someone worse off can bring help to you also.
Love to all,
Chris and Margit.[/b][/list]
