You are struggling over that girl LOL... I can promiss you this... God will send another your way and prayerfuly she will be the right one for you. The other one was not the one, God knew this and thats the reason y'all are no longer together. Focas on Him always !

GWSmith Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. I challenge you to read the Word and find out who the author of Depression is and what to do about it. What you think about you concentrate on and it becomes your focus. You become drawn towards it like a magnet pulls on steel. It's going to do that everytime it gets close enough...that is what it does. In many ways we have some of the same qualities. What we turn our heads towards we focus and concentrate on and we draw near to it. Somethimes it scares people when they realize they have the power to choose what their focus is. They really can make a decision to keep looking at something and control their body to make it happen(refusing to change their minds focus). Life happens all around you and nobody forces you to look in one direction...it is simply a choice you make. What we choose to point our minds at, what we choose to focus on, shows up in our attitudes. Think about the wings of a plane. If the pilot points them towards the ground the outcome will not be a good one. If the pilot points the wings just above ground level the plane heads in a safe direction and does what it's intended to do. Your the pilot... You might want to ask yourself what your looking at and where your pointing your wings. If you dont like where your headed, lift your head so you can see where your going, and change the direction. God gave his Son....that is how much he thought of you. Edited September 6, 2009 by GWSmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dance.and.shoot Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Derek, I've been there, had the same happen to me...recently in fact (and when I say recent, I mean like less than 3 weeks ago recent) We were engaged. One day we had been talking about our wedding reception, and 2 days later, he broke it off. He hasn't said a word to me since it happened. He said he still wants us to be friends, but won't talk to me. He also took my $700 worth of ammo... I know it's hard. I really really do. It's hard to get through, but if you have faith, you can overcome this. The best thing to do is to keep busy. I have to constantly be surrounded by friends and always be doing something. It's the best thing to keep you from getting depressed. Constantly study the Bible. It'll help bunches. I'm at work right now but as soon as I get home, I'll post some verses that I think will help...because they helped me... God loves you...he really really does. Just like GWSmith said, "God gave his Son....that is how much he thought of you." God wants you to be happy. Remember that he'll never put a trial in front of you you can't overcome! We're all here for ya man. If you ever need to talk, we're here! ~Breanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dance.and.shoot Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Emergency Numbers I promised you scriptures and here they are. I was originally only going to give you a couple. But I figured since I don't know you, I'd just give you the entire list. When I was younger, I was given a list of "Emergency Numbers" but they're not numbers that you would think. There's a different 'number' for each Emergency. They helped me, I know they can help you!!! When In Sorrow...call John 14 When men fail you...call Psalm 27 If you want to be fruitful...call John 15 When you have sinned...call Psalm 51 When you worry...call Matthew 6:19-34 When you are in danger...call Psalm 91 When God seems far away...call Psalm 139 When your faith needs stirring...call Hebrews 11 When you are lonely and fearful...call Psalm 23 When you grow bitter and critical...call 1 Corinthians 13 When you feel down and out...call Romans 8:31 When you want peace and rest...call Matthew 11:25-30 When the world seems bigger than God...call Psalm 90 When you want assurance...call Romans 8:1-30 When you leave home for travel or labor...call Psalm 121 When your prayers grow narrow or selfish...call Psalm 67 For a great invention/opportunity...call Isaiah 55 When you want courage for a task...call Joshua 1 For how to get along with your fellowman...call Romans 12 When you think of investments and returns...call Mark 10 If you are depressed...call Psalm 27 If you are losing confidence in people...call 1 Corinthians 13 If your wallet or purse is empty...call Psalm 37 If people seem unkind...call John 15 If you are discouraged about your work...call Psalm 126 If you find the world growing smaller and yourself bigger...call Psalm 19 ~Alternate Numbers~ For dealing with fear...call Psalm 34:7 For security...call Psalm 121:3 For more assurance...call Mark 8:35 For reassurance...call Psalm 145:18 then it says this at the bottom: NOTE: All lines to Heaven are open 24/7 I hope that these scriptures help you somehow. God Bless you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
