[quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry that you are having these feelings.

Tell yourself “It is one series of events in a lifetime of events.  I must go on.”  Everywhere we turn there are sad, tragic, life-changing occurrences.  To dwell on the negatives is to invite depression and hopelessness.  Yet, somehow, God has given us the will and ability to survive when circumstances seem to difficult to bear — which seems like where you are right now.

Paul in the New Testament wrote to the Corinthian people “We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us.  We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.”  2 Corinthians 4:7-8.  In other words, “this is one series of events in a lifetime of events.”

I pray that this phrase helps you in your situation which right now I am hearing seems like the end of the world —- I pray that you can step back and take a look at the situation in light of everything else that has happened in your life and see it as just one series of events over your lifetime.
