Give me strength

To keep breathing when I don’t want to. To keep getting out of bed every day when I just want to die. To stop hurting so bad. To live.

I’m with you!
Have you heard the song, “Strong Tower” by Kutless?
Also, “Walk By Faith” by Jeremy Camp.
I don’t really consider myself very religious, but for some reason I feel like I still have some faith hidden somewhere (just not sure what in!)

Just remember that breathing is good, whatever else you may think it’s better than the alternative.

Whether we like it or not, we will all get plenty of time to find out what being dead is like, why be impatient to find out?
The one thing we never have enough of is time - use what you have wisely.

hi,

not sure what’s going on in your life, but it sounds like it’s pretty painful.

I was reminded yesturday that we can only control ourselves and our feelings, and we cannot control what others do, how they react and how they treat others and ourselves… one way to find peace is to stop trying to control something that is gone… something we can’t change, and stop taking the owness on ourselves when someone else should but doesn’t take the responsiblity for thier actions. we can’t control things or others… letting it go and letting it ride, and just knowing that you’ll get through this… somehow… with hope perhaps…

you have the will and the hope so therefore you have victory over this day and tomorrow and the day after that… just take a deep breath and allow yourself to be okay with not being able to change the whole circumstance… you have the ability to change your attitude and the little things in your life that will gain you a bit of peace and happiness in the moment… and when you add up all those little moments, they create bigger and brighter moments… that somehow ebb and flow into the next day… smile and let your light shine!

Another good song… by the Clark Brothers… ” This little light of mine.” Interesting collaboration…

i know how it feels to just want to give up in order to make all the pain go away. Life is hard, cruel and unfair, but life can be what you make it. You just have to keep at it. and hey if ur really pissed off with life, then start a new one. just pack up and start agaon some where else. this can either lead u to find a better life else where, or make u realise what u had a originally so u can move back to where u were. rember life is a journey, so enjoy the ride

My pain is unbearable I will say that. But the pain I’ve caused others from my stupid mistakes is just as unbearable for them. And my very existence anymore makes their pain worse.

u sound just like my freind. we all make mistakes…even me. some of the things i’ve done i think are some of the most awful things that nay one can do and i deeply dislike remebering them, but im a different person now and we all have to move on and grow. u may have done things that have cuased other pain, but in time they will forgive u. U just need to focus on ur self and getting through this b4 u can worry about others. and believe me u can make it through u just have to have faith in ur self and concentrait on the posatives in life

Thank you lilies. It’s a daily struggle. But I am better today than I was then. Far from great, but working on it.
