| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26268975  Slovakia12/26/2012 06:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You practice altruism, not faith in God. You have to near Him, not people ... When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and harrowing the soil? When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scatter cummin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barley in its plot, and spelt in its field? ... Caraway is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over cummin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a stick. Grain must be ground to make bread; so one does not go on threshing it forever. Though he drives the wheels of his threshing cart over it, his horses do not grind it. Isaiah 28:29 |

I don't know, I just feel lost and really want to just stop. Ever fly on an airplane? When they brief you on using the oxygen masks, they tell you to put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others with their oxygen masks. You must get yourself squared away so that you can support yourself and your immediate family before even thinking about helping total strangers. Practice the word "No". Not in anger or malice, but simply as statement of fact. Prioritise your life: Your own needs simply must come first, then family, then possibly -- sometime in the future -- strangers. You cannot help others unless you yourself have the assets to spare. You must be able to take care of yourself and make a living before anything else. Neglecting your own ability to support yourself to "help" others is not the "right" thing to do. It is foolish. I Support Our First Responders |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 17743321 Canada12/26/2012 08:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If this all is truly right for you, you wouldn't be tiring of it. Ask yourself why you're doing this- to prove your worth to your parents, or to prove your worth to yourself. (It is most difficult when it concerns a parent/ parents). You strike me as a decent, caring person. Believe that. Trust that. Value and safeguard that. Sacrificing all you've become, all you've worked for, for the hoped for/ expected/imagined approval, or appreciation from someone else is going to net you many (often great) losses with little gain, and you will lose yourself in the process. I know. Been there, and still struggling to regain all I gave up in (what sounds like) similar circumstances. Never go against your true feelings/ convictions on anything. Don't do or say what you imaginemight be expected of you- it's rarely appreciated, at least not to the degree or in the way you hoped. Prioritize- put yourself and your wife and your children (if any) first. That's your foundation, that's your strength. From strength you can extend help to anyone at any given time, in many little but important ways. 'To thine own self be true' is good advice. All clarity to you OP- I hope this helps. |

| Bowyn Aerrow User ID: 28433574 United States12/26/2012 09:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I like the parable of the oxygen mask. God no doubt has a plan, but it definitely isn't you bleeding your self to death. Oh Wait, maybe that is God's plan for you. The old adage 'give until it hurts' doesn't mean you give until your kids starve to death. It may be God is telling you something and you just ain't listening. People have this method of praying, they sit there, demand a lot and say a lot, say Amen and walk away. They never give God a chance to reply. I think what you need to do is find a private place (pray in the closet is mentioned in the bible) and ask God what His will is, and then sit there and listen.

Many of us are experiencing these things.... Remember how the angel of the Lord went after Balaam riding his donkey? But that only the donkey could see the angel of the Lord holding his sword? Are you Balaam, obvlious to the angel, or the donkey who can see him? The donkey was responding to the obvious threat and finally laid down when he could turn aside no longer. But Balaam just kept beating the donkey... You're a man of faith, therefore you know that God has sovereignty. Instead of becoming despondent about your situation, ask the Lord God what it is you need to learn or do or teach. He has you with your earth family, and perhaps the lack of earth work is to give you time to seek Him for His will....perhaps it's to be with your family in the trying times ahead, perhaps it's to drive home the point that you were too preoccupied with earth matters instead of with His matters...there are so many glorious options here that it's your attitude that is lacking by becoming despondent. I know, because it can get me down too sometimes then I have to open scripture and pray about something that I don't understand. |
