I just would like to know the good and the bad things that others are going through right now. I will be happy for the good things, and for the hard times that you are going through I will pray.
I think that this would be a great opportunity for others to share with me what they might be going through right now. I'm not someone who is important, but I am someone who cares and I am someone who will pray for you and love you no matter what you might be experiencing.

I have moved and am working non-stop. I am now secretary of an organization called "His Scars To Our Scars", which is an organization that is setting out to bring hope and show God's love to those struggling with depression and suicide. With God's help I want to change the world...I want to make an impact...I want God to shine through me so that when others look at me, they see not (my name) but Christ! I have a friend that wants to and is paying for my counseling, which...I still don't understand why he wants to help me, but i greatly appreciate his help because if it were up to me to pay...I wouldn't be going to her.
I am struggling with the shame of my past. I can read hundreds of Bible verses about how God adores me, thinks I am beautiful, takes delight in me, etc. and I can hear others tell me thats how He feels about me.....but I just can't seem to grasp it. I am seeing a counselor and we are walking through this stuff and today's session was about shame. I feel as though "50" different wounds have been reopened. I know it needed to be dealt with and that feeling this pain is expected. I guess it was just that I had blocked out so much of it for so many years that I forgot how much it hurt, then when we talked about it ALL at the same time...it was like "BAM" and it hit me hard. I know God has an undeniable love for me...I just don't understand the depth of that love...if that makes sense? I know Him dying on the cross was a HUGE sign of His love....ughhh...I don't know how to explain it...I guess I just don't understand how He could always think good things about me...God amazes me and I know He can take away this shame and pain!
Thank you for this blog...i really REALLY needed to vent.
Hey like i dont know u but i somehow found this blog and i wish u wuld pray 4 me and my girlfriend. I am 16 and she is 15 and she might be pregnant. I know we shouldnt have had sex but we did and she hasnt had her period in like a month and a half. We havent been 2 the doc yet cause we dont want her parenst 2 find out. We are both pretty scared and dont know what 2 do. We havent told our parents yet and we dotn want to have a baby right now. Would i have 2 drop out and get a job? What about football? I dont know what 2 do.
Well, let's see...There are always new obstacles to overcome in life. Not to mention that life is constantly changing. Things are great for me at the moment and, with God's help, I have overcome many large and sometimes overwhelming obstacles to get where I am today. I guess right now I'm closing in on some serious and positive changes. I'm getting ready to get married and I have a really huge business expansion coming up. I have always been very ambitious and I constantly think about the future. I suppose I struggle with appreciating the moment at times. Don't get me wrong, I couldn't be more thankful for the way God has blessed me, I just sometimes get so caught up in my plans and in life that I lose sight of the moment. I've also been a little slack about my church attendance, which really makes me want to kick myself in the face sometimes. There are many other small things as well that I haven't mentioned, but that's life and those small things are the little steps that help me climb over the mountains.
Hi Chris......
Could you please pray for me. Right now things are not going well for me. I feel as though Satan has his hold on me and I need prayer for him to leave me. I also ask if you could u pray for my church and which school i should go to.
Thank you and God bless.
Wow! I was tempted to leave some sarcastic remotely funny comment, mainly b/c of the route I tokk getting here. After reading the real comments, especially anon2, my only comment is thanks for doing this.
I just wanted to thank everyone who has left a comment and shared with me what they are going through. I have been praying for each and every one of you, even if I don't know who you are, and I want you all to know that I love you and care for you.
You are all something very special to God and he has a plan for everything that you are all going through. I know how hard things can get in life and even if I have not felt the pain, hurt, or indecision that each of you is feeling, I sure do wish that you weren't going through the things you are going through.
If there is ever anything more that I could do for you then pray, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Hi Chris,
To answer your question, I got here via Ben Saunder's blog.

Chris,
I just wanted to return and thank you for the prayers! Today was finally a turning point for me. The counselor and I, the past two weeks, have been working on "ripping off my scabs and cleaning out my wounds", which is extremely tough, so I definitely appreciate all the prayers! I know it's going to hurt at times and I'm learning that there are some people I can count on to never walk away. Though, I still fear that the ones that are in my life now will suddenly walk away. Thank you for always being someone I can count on!
How are things going with you?
The hard part about healing is just how much it hurts, but it is still a necessary thing. Without healing we can never became more than what we are or even what we once used to be.
The people that would leave you are the people that were never really there to begin with. The people who will never walk away are gifts from God, remember to cherish each and every on of them.
