I agree, don't give up. And always remember the other part of the story of Jesus. Although he did cry out, why have you forsaken me, GOD responded later by making the earth go dark, the temple's curtains to rip in half, him to be resurected, live on earth for fourty more days, raise Him into heaven literally, send out appostals because of his great sacrifice so that 2000+ years later you would know about Him and still believe and be SAVED. Never underestimate what GOD has in mind for you in your life. Here is a verse of encouragement!
this is speaking of Jesus...." Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivitly captive, and gave gifts to men." "(Now this, HE ascended- what does it mean but that He also first DESCENDED into the lower part of the earth? He who DESCENDED is also the One who ASCENDED far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)"- ephesians 4:8-10
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU STRONG in spirit and body!!!!

Don't forget; we're all praying for you, no matter what. Even though we can't see God's purpose for all this, there is a reason...and someday, we'll know what that is. I'm reminded of something from a movie I saw part of today. What happened was this girl and her mother went to see St. Pio (called Padre Pio at the time), who was a very pious priest. Now, the girl had recently gotten a teaching position and she was very happy about it, because she would be sent off to this one place to teach. However, Padre Pio told her she couldn't go. She asked why, but the only answer he gave was "because you're a spoiled, arrogant girl," and with that, the girl left, upset at what had happened. A while later (like maybe a few weeks), Padre Pio came back into the church and saw the girl praying. When she saw him, she went over to speak with him, and told him, tearfully, that the girl sent in her place had been raped. Because he knew what would've happened and kept her from going, she was protected.
So the moral is that even if things seem bad, there is a purpose for everything. And I'm still praying for you too.

I don't believe you're done. Neither the Father nor Jesus give up on the sheep. No one can snatch them from His hands (John 10:27-30).
And remember to keep all of Psalm 22 in your heart. Jesus was the master of the Psalms, which makes sense since He inspired them. Therefore, although Jesus quoted Psalm 22:1, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?", I believe He was thinking about every verse that came behind it as well. I find Psalm 22 to be uplifting, especially in dark times. I believe Jesus does too. It tells of a fall into darkness only to be followed by an ascendance into light. Whenever I read it, I make sure to read all of it, especially verses 22-31. (And I ask for your forgivness if you know all this already. I don't know you well enough.)
We're all still praying for you. Let us all "carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)

hey guys,
the prayers are much appreciated. i only have a glimmer of faith, I know God is powerful and he is there, but the situations in my life right now...they darken my doors, they cast a fear on my very soul. I still can not sleep or eat, ....i can not function at my job which may mean i'm going to get fired soon...i just can't do it. Not just because of my eyes but because of everything. I am beyond burnt out and I have no rest.
May God forgive my shaken faith because I just...i have nothing left guys. I have no strength or joy left. No hope. Nothing. I am empty.
And I know its not God's fault, he is there all along but i'm weak. May he forgive me for it.
I do not know what to do.

If only I could take you up into my arms and show you things will be OK regardless of whether you can see or not. Ah, the limitations of a virtual community. I'm sure God feels the same way.
Even though I think I fear being deaf or blind more than I fear death itself, I know that God has a plan for me and will use me regardless of my situation. I know that is true for you as well.
I do not know how to help you. Miles and anonymity separate us, so I pray God sends you someone to strengthen you, a shoulder for you to lean on.

You do have something inside of u.....that is His Holy Spirit, waiting to fill u with His peace...It's never too late to ask to be filled with the Spirit....
There've been times before where I've felt this emptiness and nothingness that u seem to be feeling and now looking at those times, I realise that it's often because I chose to let my circumstances and emotions control my feelings, actions, and attitudes, rather then giving them to God......
Keep asking Him for strength, and never stop asking.....He will still be with u forever.....

I'm praying for you Kelly. God will show up in ways you can't imagine. He loves to do that. Just the same, He does so in His timing, not ours.
As to getting fired from your job - your employer cannot legally fire you because of a disability. If they can make a "reasonable accommodation" to your disability, they are required to do so. If they can make reasonable accommodation but do not, and instead fire you, they would almost surely lose a lawsuit filed against them and/or face penalties for breaking employment law.
As someone who volunteered for Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, I know that there are many here and elsewhere willing to help you. Also, I urge you not to give up on any dreams you may have, especially as regards education. I read chemistry, biology, physics, philosophy, and many other college-level textbooks for Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. I wouldn't do it if I didn't know for certain that there are students out there getting college degrees with the help of these digital audio textbooks. I know they do, I see them on campus. Because colleges are required to accommodate disabilities just like employers, there is no reason you cannot go to college, take classes, and get a degree. Obviously, financial reasons can sometimes deter people, but I am sure that you are already eligible for financial aid in some shape or form.
School and work talk aside - I wanted to write this to encourage you. I am praying for you Kelly, and I pray the Lord will heal you completely. Even if He does not, or if you go completely blind, I know that He has a plan for you that you probably cannot imagine right now, but is a great and wonderful plan.
Remember that true blindness is the inability to see the truth of the Gospel (2 Corinthians chapter 4). If we have the truth, and we have Christ, we could all become blind tomorrow but be still incalculably better off than sighted people that cannot see the truth of the Gospel.
I'm praying for you Kelly, that the Lord's will would be done in your life, and that His peace and joy would be yours in abundance.

I read more of your situation from yesterday. I'm very sorry to hear this. I've never been in the eye situation. But have been in the others. I understand how you feel......But don't give up on God no matter what. Because you'll have a new body when he returns to slay Lucifer and restores peace to this world of his among his vast universe. I'll keep praying for you. God bless and my peace be with you .
.Some of my favorite scriptures.
Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Hey guys,
Thankyou for your prayers and encouragment. I know that it may not seem like it cuz all I do is write about my problems but well, it does really mean so much....
Well my family is now mad at me, for what reason i don't know. They just are. They view my job as not being important or worthy cuz it doesn't require a college degree.
I'm not going to get fired, but I may quit cuz i just can't handle the stress anymore but I may not be able to quit cuz it might mean my business would go out of business (for those that know me personally in Real Life...please do not say anything!!!!! I do not even want to discuss it!!!)
Vision is the same, and I can handle that. I just feel like i'm in a train wreck with no way out. I am grateful for those in my life that are there for me too.
Like I know God is there, just feel like sometimes he is so distant. Though I know it is me that is distant...Sometimes I just wish he would hold me physically and just let me know everything is going to be ok. I know a human can do that, but I don't usually believe humans (whole lotta history right there that i"m not getting into)...
Just keep praying guys...I'm not giving up..but..i'm hurting bad and i'm hurting hard and I still have to fake a smile and get by.
Pray my family will lighten up...no one is talking to me currently so whatever...
I'll keep you updated. May the Lord give you all blessings as he see's fit and that he wills. I lay myself on the mercy seat before him, I have nothing I can give him, I am nothing myself. So i pray that he may deem it his will to glance my way when I deserve full abandonment.

*hugs Kelly-sama* How I wish I could really hug you my friend. I am very sorry this is happening to you, but God always has a reason for what he does. Don't lose hope my friend, God will guide you through this field of darkness and soon you will see the hope on the horizon. As I told you before, if you ever need me please give me a ring, I would be more than happy to talk to you. And we don't have to talk about what's happening.. we can just talk for talkings sake. I may not be of much help, but I am praying for you. I will also pray that your Family will see that your Job is not worthless, and that they will soon talk to you again. How families can be so cruel to each other is beyond me (though I do know how that goes) Whatever happens, just know I am here for you. No matter what. *hug* God Bless you Kelly.

I need some prayer with this...cuz its putting me into depression. I just did it anonymously cuz i'm too lazy to login and making this fast cuz i'm at work.
Long story short, I was born with detached retina and i have vision in one eye and blind in the other. Its been fine until about 6 months ago when i started to get flashes and floaters. Went to my specialist and they said that something is pulling on my retina which can either detach fine or can detach my retina, making me blind.
If my retina detaches, i have a very very small chance of getting my vision back and thats if i can find a surgeon who would be willing to touch me.
Last few weeks my flashes have gotten increasingly worse. And i'm starting to get tremendous amounts of floaters. I can't go to the specialist because I can't afford to...
I trust in the goodness of the Lord, but i'm scared. Please pray that i will have courage, even if i must being physically blind for the rest of my life.
Is it related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma ?
But anyway, you should try to have it treated. There must be some way to treat it without paying ten of thousands of dollars.

No sn, its not gluacoma. Its called R.O.P, retinaphrathy (bad sp lol) of prematurity. Basically i can go blind and they don't really know why but that aside. There is no treatment at this point, all I can do is wait....
My brothers and sisters,
how strange it feels to call you guys that...i have not been one to be close to family... I am in a pit...I have distanced myself from God and yet I fear going back to Him. It is like a child who knows they have done something wrong, I fear the discipline and yet I know I am going back to him, however I do not see the path.
I need prayer my friends. I need some interceding on my behalf. I struggle and can not see. Maybe this is what my Lord meant when he told me I would be blind for a while (i thought he meant phsyically maybe not). For I truly have been blind. I have been whining and complaining against the Lord of Hosts! How much of a fool I have been!
My soul longs for him, while Satan deters my flesh, making my daily life a struggle to hang on. I have troubles at every side. They consume my hope and strength. The Lord's grace alone keeps me moving on and my own sliver of faith. Now I truly know what it means to be tested in the faith, and what true faith is.
True faith is when you have no reason to believe, no hope only darkness and you believe anyways. How hard that is!
Pray for me please...I am a fool and can only crawl back to the Lord's throne. How can I pray to him with any confidence in myself? How I wish I could promise him, I will never leave you. But I cannot. I struggle with my self minute by minute. Pray that the Lord would have mercy on me, for I come to him humbly. May God forgive me of all that I have done against Him.
I am truly broken....truly humbled.

Kunoichi KEEP HOPE!!! I know that I seem like no one to say this, but GOD does have a plan, He does. Remember that there are other reasons besides discipline that GOD can put us through tough times. There is trial(so we can we were our faith is, so we can grow in our faith, or finally because you are doing the right thing for GOD and the world doesn't like that). Sometimes when we please GOD the world just crushes us as much as it can, but remember GOD has the power over everything! Persecution (in many ways) just goes to show you that you are doing something right, but also remember that GOD is always there and will help you, He just has higher ways than us. Here is a Bible verse, that really gives me hope in times of needs,
"Look at the birds in the air, for they neigher sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worring can add one cubit to his stature?...Therefore do not worry, sying, "what shall we eat? or what shall we drink, or what shall we wear? For ater all these things the Gentiles seek, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is tis own trouble." Matthew 7: 26-34

I just read all this today... I'm sorry. I wish I had something to say but I really don't Everyone said anything better than I ever could anyway. But I will pray for you... I really do care though... I know that doesn't mean much from someone you've never met online even but anyway.
Just remember in darkness, the light shines the brightest... and even though you're tired and weary rowing your boat along the ocean, when you stop, Jesus is still at the front of the boat rowing and guiding you along. Sooner or later, you'll be able to pick up your oar and continue rowing with him again. He'll wait. So don't give up.

There is an old chinese proverb that said something to the likeness of "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Or something like that... anyway even with all the hardships that you have endured and all the hardships that you will endure, this is your journey. God's desire for you is to be happy, and with him, although sometimes to purify you through fire must hurt him so to experience with you, it will only bring you closer to him. When we feel that the darkness has enveloped us, when we feel alone, hurt, confused, when even our own confidence is not with us, God still is. I will pray that God will help show you the light that you have been in the lives of others, that he will help you through these troubled times by giving you the strength you need to continue, that he will be the light with you that leads your path.
God Bless, Kunoichi

Ive been praying for you as well and will continue to do so. Im sorry that this could happen to you, but its really the Lord's decision. So lets all pray because losing your eyesight is hard. Im nearsighted which is not blind, but without them I can't see a thing! So I can relate to you a little.

Kun, have you ever thought of writing out your thoughts and feelings in a notebook? I know it may sound weird, but it does help you in releasing any anger, frustration, or other emotions that can bring you down. Whatever you feel, whoever you think it's directed to, write it down. If you feel guilty about it anytime afterwards, there's no harm in ripping out the page and tearing it into shreds. What matters more is that you took the time to express how you feel and get it out of your system. Give it a shot! I sometimes do that.
I sometimes do that.K. Ayato: What happens if you press the small red button?

Pour out your heart to God. Believe me, it will help. He won't be offended or shocked when you vent your feelings to Him.
Then ask Him to give you His peace. He will.
*hugs* Hang in there, friend. Remember that God is with you and so are we.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
