but mentally and spiritually...and...and...I've struggled with self esteem all my life..so...this really didn't help it too much...I've been crying for awhile cause I feel so hurt...

I read this in my quiet time today. I didn't quite get why I was directed towards this passage, but it seems really applicable now...

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows." 2 Corinthians 1:3-5.

I'm praying for you, bakura_fan.

I know what it's like to to have low self esteem. Most of the time I have it under control, though at times it comes back. Thoughts like, "Why me God," or "Why can't I ever feel happy?" But everytime I get off the track God wants me on, some internal drive always kicks me back on to the path. I believe it's God's way of telling me not to concentrate all my worries on the bad. That to be able to move foward we just need to have some faith in the lord. We are the children of God and he will always give you comfort you when you need it.

Two random quotes:
1 Peter 5:7: cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Isaiah 41:10:
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Edit: Forgot to say I'll be praying for you.

thank you both..I feel a bit better....but these kinds of things tend to stay with me for awhile....so I probably won;t be posting much....

Matthew 11

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

i will be praying

I will definitely pray for you Bakura_fan. Please pm me if you ever want to talk. ^___^

ill pray as well if you want to talk just ask..or say so

Philippians 4:4 - something

"Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again; Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all, the Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transends all understanding will guard your mind in Christ Jesus. Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praise-worthy, think about such things. Whatever you have learned, or received, or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice, and the God of peace will be with you."

I hope this helps you. I have struggled with sorrow and taken some spiritual hits, also. I know what you are going through. I'll definately be praying!
