I am so sorry to hear your situations, Andy et al. I don’t know if misery loves company, but your words make me feel closer to you as if you know what I am desparing about myself.

Three things have come to mind: one is that I will pray for you which is great for me and you; secondly, I will go to the scriptures to continue finding answers and direction found no where else, three, I will continue to call upon the Lord. He is right here, drawing me to Him and this has made that clearer to me. Thanks.

I have always loved the movie “It’s A Wonderful Life” but have never been able to relate to the lead Character. Before he has his suicide thoughts I could see he has a wonderful life. Much more than I ever had. I did not marry until I was 40 years old and it has been a struggle for Godly happiness before and after. I thought getting married and having a family would solve all my problems. It has been thirteen years now and my wife and I are growing further and further apart. She does not come to church with at all so our twelve year old son does not either. I have “terminal” lung cancer so my energy level is way down. This has caused a lot of stress and made it difficult for me to provide for my family. I feel I am growing in Christ but away for my family. Like the previous two commentaries I am looking for answers but I know my answers are in Christ.

I agree with Jim.Im in the middle too.I pray for a book to help ease the pain that Im going through at home.When will a glimpse of hope or change happen in our lives? How can it be easy living with a unGodly person that use to be with Christ-hardcore?Thats not wanting to grow towards God with me? I pray for answers or a solution for my family & direction for myself…

Its a pity we were given this great concept but with no examples. I would love to be the man God wants me to be, but right now I’m not sure what that man looks like. What in my life needs to give, to get out of the way, for me to progress? We are not all at the beginning of our journey – some of us are in the middle, and have hit a dry spot.
