Christianity Oasis Member Forum & Chat Room

Don't know if this will really help or not, but it might feel good to try anyway. Okay, thoughts for the day. Yeah, I'm working 4 jobs, 7 days a week. Have a 17 yr old son who is not making the best decisions... really really scary decisions I should say. A previous job didn't give me an expected check and now I'm negative in the bank, worried my car's going to be repossessed. But God is still God. Just quit telling me, "God will provide". Christians get homeless, Christians die of starvation, Christians get murdered. God will provide? I could care less if God provides or not, God is still God. He doesn't provide for me. I remember having regular orgasms when I was 3yrs old. I wasn't allowed to eat growing up. One year I remember eating a total of 4 times. I survived on eating brown paper garbage bags. My own mom buried me alive. Don't tell me God will provide because I know He won't. But I want a God who does. I so need help.

Hello Jennifer...welcome to the Oasis and the counseling steps! I am so glad you are willing to take a step out and reach for the Truth in life. You know...I believe you are here because you truly do want help and you also want to know God. First, let me begin by saying....I know you have been through a lot in your life and are still going through a lot. I also want you to know that God has an enemy and that enemy is Satan....that same enemy of God's is our enemy also. Satan will do anything he can to destroy us in order to try and keep us from having a true relationship with God....and Satan will do that by creating havoc in our life....and Satan will also hurt God's children to try and hurt God...God does not like to see us hurting...he wants good things for us....but Satan relishes in causing us misery....and God does not promise that we wont have trials...in fact he says we will have trials...but he also says if we will Trust in Him...then we can overcome those trials and have a new life in Him....one of peace...and it's a peace that will reside within you...despite all the chaos you have going on around you in this worldly life...and despite all the bad things Satan might try and throw your direction...God looks through the problems...not at the problems...and He is there for you...don't give up on Him...He loves you....

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Prayers for you.

Take care
