Where do you drown your misery?
While I was drowning my sorrows this morning with a latte in COSTA at TESCO and asking Jesus to help me stop feeling so lonely I looked at my phone and there was text from what I guess is a new friend really. She was Dave and is trying to be Louise and is struggling too …
DEAR CAROL AND BARRY, SORRY I DID’NT COME 2 CHURCH 2 DAY BUT DUE 2 BEING ON PRESCRIBED VALIUM, PROZAC AND ZOPICLONE 3X DAIY, I WAS STILL SEDATED UNTIL2PM, HOWEVER I SHALL B AT CHURCH ON SUNDAY ALSO WOMENS BIBLE STUDIES, HOPE 2 C U BOTH VERY SOON, AT THE MOMENT I’M DROWNING MY MISERY WITH A BOTTLE OF COGNAC. C U BOTH SOON, GOD BLESS, LUV FROM LOUISE XX
JUST TO QUICKLY SAY I AM SO GLAD AND PROUD TO HAVE MET YOU BOTH AND SOMEHOW/SOMEWAY U BOTH HAVE PUT ME OFF ANY SUICIDAL AND SELF DESTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS THINKING OF WHAT JESUS WENT THROUGH 4 US THERE IS NO WAY WITH YR TUITION ON THIS THAT I COULD GIVE UP ON THIS WONDERFUL GIFT OF LIFE, AND RESPECTFULLY I ASK PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON ME AS I DO CARE, VALUE, AND RESPECT U BOTH VERY MUCH INDEED, GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS U ALL THERE. THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS 2 FIND A FRIEND WHO IS TRUE, THOSE WHO BRING SUNSHINE INTO THE LIVES OF OTHERS, BRING SUNSHINE INTO THEIR OWN. GOD BLESS LUV FROM LOUISE, XXX
And I think that has given me strength for today. :) Thank you Jesus – please don’t give up on either of us! And I thank you that I can know you don’t and you won’t. Thank you Jesus for bringing sunshine into both our lives through what you did 4 us.
Please Jesus give all us Christians a heart for all out there who are totally at sea and drowning their misery in lots of places. And I can’t thank St James 20s 30s group enough for their brilliant Secret Restaurant event that we both had a lovely evening at. Matt and Philippa and Zahra u rock!
Where do you drown your misery?
Let’s all be honest with each other and then call out to Jesus to help.
I love this video – no-one who looks at life honestly laughs at God. No-one in life who sees their own misery laughs at God.
