Where Do You Find Comfort?
24 Answers
Sadly, my life is not plain sailing.
I have health, financial, and family problems.
I have six children, two of whom have disabilities.
One of them has serious financial problems, and has trouble paying rent and bills.
My two disabled children have fallen out big time, and not speaking.
I am totally stressed trying to keep the family together and finding pretty difficult.
Anyway, just as most people need a holiday from work etc,
I too need a break from time to time.
I find comfort in prayer and submitting my will to Gods will, and trying my best to help out the people in the area who have materially less than me.
I am no saint. Far from it.
But without a belief and trust in God I honestly believe I would crack up.
God helps me in so many ways, always arriving like the cavalry, sometimes in the nick of time, but so far, He has never let me down. Thank God.
So, what do you think?
When life threatens to become unbearable, how do you find comfort?
This is not a provocative post, I am not looking for an argument.
I am simply asking the question.
Some may think I am weak. Fair enough. Weakness and a trust in Gods strength is part of my belief.
Anyway, you know where I am going with this, and I would welcome your comments, in particular, from Nailit and Zacs.

Well, from the un-Christian tone of many of your previous posts, Theland, some might say that what goes round, comes round.
I don't believe in that nonsense, or anything else, so I only throw it in for thought to be had.
The Buddha teaches us that everything changes. Nothing stays the same. All will be different (not necessarily better).
This helps, to some extent, in being able to view the troubles of life with some equanimity - we are singularly unimportant, and eventually will cease to exist.
