lds_mormon Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I suppose scriptures can help me when I am feeling down or angry. Sometimes I don't even have to read them, just holding them in my hands can be enough. But I have many other non religious things that get me through my day as well. Settling down and watching the Detroit Pistons go to work helps me to completely forget my problems as I get lost in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have a lot of wonderful things and people in my life, but i have been pretty low before. i went through a time of depression, everything in my life was falling apart, the responsibilities put upon me seemed to great, i lost all desire to fulfill my callings, or go to church even, i truely felt forsaken. but i continued doing what i knew i should, and there were talks and articles given at the right time to barely keep me going through the motions. then after a saturday night of sitting on my bed in the wee hours of the morning sobbing and telling the lord how horrible things were and asking why he had forsaken me, i went to my sunday meetings, not wanting to be there, they sang a song. i had to leave so as not to loose it in front of everyone. nothing has ever resonated so solidly in my heart, so now when things are hard i read that same song, especially the last verse. hymn 270 i know it is typicaly sang as a missionary hymn, and pardon the informal typing, but you did say specific lol :) 1. it may not be on the mountain height or over the stormy sea, it may not be at the battle's front my lord will have need of me. but if by a still small voice he calls to paths i do not know i'll answer dear lord with my hand in thine i'll go where you want me to go. 2. perhaps today there are loving words which jesus would have me speak there may be now in the paths of sin some wanderer whom i should seek o savior if thou wilt be my guide tho dark and rugged the way my voice shall echo the message sweet i'll say what you want me to say 3. there's surely somewhere a lowly place in earth's harvest fields so wide where i may labor through life's short day for jesus the crucified so trusting my all to thy tender care and knowing thou lovest me i'll do thy will with a heart sincere I'll be what you want me to be chorus I'll go where you want me to go dear lord over mountain or plain or sea i'll say what you want me to say dear lord i'll be what you want me to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushka Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hearing music that I adore, such as Bob Dylan or Freddie Mercury (Queen) really lifts me, however if I'm in the depths of despair I find all I can do is curl up in bed and snuggle my cat, if she lets me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainTux Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 When everything is falling apart and your day is at it's worst, what helps pull you through, I know some say hymns, some say scriptures...but be specific........I know those days. I hate those days and am glad that they are rare. I wish I could say it was God and prayer. However, prayer is what I do in the moments of despair. What anchors my sanity is thinking about my daughters smile and my wife's eyes. The people that need me and love me most and the people that need me sane most become my stabilizer in a symbiotic relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainTux Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 You missed nothing. I have been a bit busy with priorities. Online socializing is rahter low on the totem pole of important things. no offense to anyone, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
