PE11 - It's not a good night


I have been a bit busy this week so that is why there have been no posts (in case you were wondering). Past couple of days I got mail that I kind of expected to come eventually, but it does not make it any easier for me to handle; I haven't been able to stop thinking about my wife and my children.

I keep wanting to pinch myself to see if I am dreaming; I want to wake up....I want to wake up. I must stay strong, I must hold on to God and His promises. I feel like everything is slipping through my fingers. Like a wrestler getting pounced on from the high rope; I start lifting myself up off the mat just a little bit and I get crushed..over and over and over and over again. No time for air, just crush him, kick him, beat him .... kill him.

If I look at everything from a worldly perspective, there is no hope. There is none. As if everything else wasn't bad enough; I can't do this. I can't do it. How am I supposed to fight my wife? I can't even afford to do so even if I wanted to. I'm having a breakdown right now. They estimate my salary about 1000 more than what I am making right now a month. They allege I have done nothing to help. Although I gave up everything including all my accounts, severances and everything! What do they expect from me? Why do they lie and plot against me! Why?

God, I do not understand. I feel so alone right now. I'm miserable where I am at. But I can't do anything about it. I have no personal space, no respect, $7 in my checking account and I have nothing. I make less now in a 40 hour work week (if I can get more than 15 - 20 hours for once), than I used to make in a day. If I was not a Christian....arrrgggghhhh.......

I think I am going to disappear in a dark hole for a couple of weeks. I'm miserable and everything is pointless. I try so hard but feel like I get nowhere. I just sit here and cry and think, how God? How do I go on? How do I keep my head up and hope for the best when every part of me is broken and cries out in absolute anguish? On every side of me, I am attacked. I am absolutely and completely overwhelmed right now. I literally feel like I am going to lose it.

Oh God, I can't bare this. I can't; I can't. Please, help me. To be so overwhelmed that I don't know where to even start. It is impossible for me, but I know it is not for You. I am trying to live a Spirit led life but obviously I am not doing that well. I don't even know what to ask for Father, I have no idea. You know me, you know my heart, You know my limits. I have to be borderline psycho right now. Please, help me. Please my God, I need You right now. I am flailing and need Your direction, peace and understanding. I do trust you my God, I do. I have allowed myself to become overwhelmed with the multiple (yes, I said multiple), impossible situations I am looking at. I know I need to have faith you will provide and help and heal and mend but I lose sight God, I lose focus. My heart, will and spirit are broken. Please, please help me.

  1. Ed, sorry to hear things are so rough. My heart goes out for you. Not that this will ease the pain, but if you need some help, please let me know (financially as well) My offer extends to you as well. I am confused why they have your salary set so high. Is this something that can be changed? I want to encourage you that your spirit and heart is in the right place, no matter what the world may say. As a brother, I wish to help in any way I can. I will close this response and pray for you now. Love Eric.
