   thank you, I need advice, i hear what your saying about how our world on earth can have our minds changing all the time from belief in God and the bible to then again, doubts once we see or hear on news what is happening in todays world. I even read biblet verses that confuse me. I have been praying hard for over three years now for my faith in Jesus to increase, to honestly believe, to hear God’s calling for myself. I feel so lost, i have no direction and I am constantly in and out of depressions. My motivations are not helping me to do what needs to be done anymore, i am weak. I am getting old. I want to believe, I want to trust God. I do believe, but then something will happen and doubt slips back into my mind. I hate the doubt when it comes , i feel like I am betraying God, I don’t want to do that of course, and I believe that God knows that, I am almist 60 years old in a few more years, i probaly will die soon. I still have not found out my purpose on this earth, or Gods caalling for me.
   The older I get the more insecure and frieghten i get. I read the bible, I pray everyday. I need help with my children. It is what I pray for most.I pray for God to feed me the words of wisdom that my children will understand to help them grow to be better people in this world and the next. My story is complicated, the gyst is trying to help my 32 year old son to grow up, His mind set is still at 12 years old. I see him becoming a “george” (term I use for older children who live with their mothers)

   I know how it feels to doubt, and I know that it is a viscious cycle. You are not alone. I doubted through about a period of 2 years or so, and just recently, I was hit with a spell of doubt. I know that whenever your mind gets attatched on something that is plausable or somewhat true, your mind finds some way to contort the truth and find a reason for you to doubt. That is satan trying to rob you of your faith! Don’t think that the commitment to God that you made doesn’t matter. I know that I thought God had abandoned me, but he was with me through the whole entire thing, and I just didn’t see it. Do not give up Satan comes to, “Kill, steal, and destroy,” not some Christians, but all. Usually this is because God wants to do aomething special in your life! That happened totally for me! I just might be getting recorded! Promises from God’s Scripture are getting fufilled left and right. And these miraculous things are for you, Donna! I know that life is hard. My life is hard financially and in the faith department too. Just cling to His Word and the shreds of Truth that you know . God is there. I recommend listening to BarlowGirl’s song “Never Alone”. I am a BarlowGirl freak and, before I even knew who they were and understood their ideas, I listened to that song over when I was young in doubt. I listened over and over, proclaiming that, “Though You’re invisible, I’ll trust the unseen!” Do not give up. I promise I will pray for you. And to anyone else who is struggling, you are Never Alone!

   I waited for you
   today
   But you didn’t show
   oh, no, no.
   I needed you today,
   So where did you go?
   You told me to call
   said You’d be there,
   and though I haven’t seen You,
   are you still there?

   I cried out with no reply, and,
   I can’t feel you by my side, so,
   I’ll hold tight to what I know:
   You’re here
   and I’m Never Alone.

   And though I can
   not see You
   and I can’t explain why (why?).
   Such a deep, deep
   reassurance
   You’ve placed in my life.

   Woah… We cannot separate
   ’cause You’re part of me,
   and though You’re invisible, I’ll,
   Trust the Unseen.

   I cried out with no reply, and,
   I can’t feel You by my side, so,
   I’ll hold tight to
   what I know:
   You’re here
   and I’m Never Alone (no, no, no)

   These are the lyrics for Never Alone. Copyright BarlowGirl 2005?

   “Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions. Watch your step and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust.”
   Proverbs 4:25-27 MSG

   “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10)

   “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)

   “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3)

   “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.” (2 Timothy 1:7)

   “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

   Still praying…. :)
   the job description of a Christian is to lift up their brothers and sisters in the Lord (which you are one if you have ever given your heart to Jesus- if not-do so!) and to practice long-suffering, which is to go through all of your troubles like they were my own. Personally I suggest readind Psalm 43. Songs of Solomon 2:14-16. Last chapter in Songs of Solomon. I will read Hebrews 11 tonight along with you, so promise you’ll read it?

   I suggest writing down what miracles (small miracles are miracles too) in a journal. Refer to them when you’re down.
