QUOTE: "Have you ever received comfort straight from scripture?"==DRHUMMNo sir, i can't much say that i have, except in the most minimal way. For example, one time when i read the verse where Jesus says to Mary in the garden, "Woman, why are you weeping?" that gave me some small comfort but not for what i have been facing the past decade.QUOTE: "I do not take this lightly and you will be in my prayers from now on. You strike me as someone with a sense of humor. I like that."==DRHUMMThank you dear, kind brother. That makes me smile. I very much appreciate the prayers. And yes, you perceive correctly, i am a person with a sense of humor, normally....; )
When I was first learning to hear from the Spirit I would ask the lord to lead me to scripture that would help me understand my circumstance or help me with negative emotion. It sounds like you have had a rough decade and I am sorry for that. Without support it is hard to keep plugging along, and I am praying for an undergirding for you. I find it interesting the scripture that brought you some comfort. Mary cried because she thought she had lost Jesus and He could not help her anymore. I think this scripture is telling you that the Lord cares for you and is concerned about your heartache. Makes me wonder what else He wants to say.
QUOTE: "I find it interesting the scripture that brought you some comfort. Mary cried because she thought she had lost Jesus and He could not help her anymore. I think this scripture is telling you that the Lord cares for you..."==DRHUMMTo me the scripture was saying to her that she had no reason to weep, even though she thought she did; she thought she had lost all but she had not lost anything and had gained salvation. But this verse does not apply to my current trauma/situation AT ALL, although it was mildly helpful in other situations. As for "a rough decade", truly, truly i wish that i had not ever been born; it had been better if no one in my family had ever been born.
I am sorry it has been so difficult for you. I am praying for you. I appreciate your prayers for me.
Ok, thank you, and yes i will pray.
