I know this is difficult to do and I don't know if I can do it myself in all instances, but God said that no matter what happens to give thanks to Him. He can take care of it. Don't be so hard on yourself. Maybe you haven't done anything because you have no clue what to do. He told you not to worry, do what you can and turn the rest over to Him. If you are starving or freezing let me know. He can't show you what to do until there is no other choice than to accept His answer. Pray for His help and guidance. God bless you.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Many have their ideas about God. If you want to KNOW Him, He gave a book Called The Holy Bible to instruct you in life and salvation, then you dont have to wonder if your ideas are right or wrong and you can quit depending on yourself and start depending on Him. It doesn't sound like you have done well in depending on yourself and your ideas about Him.

One thing I'd like to add to MColeman's response is that if you have prayed the prayer of salvation and are indeed born again, the Bible says that "He will never leave you nor forsake you." You may have left Him but he will welcome you back just as the Prodigal Son was welcomed back in the Bible. Agreed!! He is there for you. I will be praying for you, your wife and the struggles you face.

Prayers offered. Don't stop praising Him.

A book I'd highly recommend is "Wild At Heart". I'm not one that can often be found with a book in my hand and I absolutely despise anything that could be found on a "self help" book shelf. Thankfully this book was nothing like that. It deals with the heart of men in general and how society AND the Church have more or less emasculated men.
Your heart cry to be the hero that you know is inside of you rang true with me. This book was a real eye opener and a real encouragement. I needed it. It was a book that only took me a day to read because I couldn't pit it down. The author is an avid hunter, fisher, and hiker and writes from that prospective.
My signature line is from that book. It may be right up your alley.

Fellow campers,
Normally when I request prayers it is for someone else in need(I personally feel that God has left me.I never pray for myself but I do give thanks.) and I will say a prayer for anyone who posts a request.This time I need some.I have wasted a lot of time allowing myself to live in a depression.It is embarrassing to say the least.The situation that I have allowed my wife and I to get into is also embarrassing.Living with me must be like swimming with a bowling ball in each hand.Sunday we were given some bad news regarding our housing situation which I knew was coming but chose to ignore.
I need some prayers for strength to become the hero that I know is in side of me instead of the zero that I have become.
I humbly thank you. Don't take this the wrong way but God never left you....actually you left Him.

Through great difficulties I have come to know Him well enough to ask that He help you through your present difficulties. Many times, blessings arrive disguised as calamities.
Draw near to Him, and...step up to the plate. Anyone who has a handle that starts with SAUER has to be a class act in my book.

You have it within your power to make things better.
If you set your mind to it - you will.
The past is but a memory, the future may never be, act in the present - that's what it is.
When you wake up tomorrow - be the change you want to see. One day at a time. The power within is all we can ever truly count on.

I humbly thank you. I've made some really good choices about housing, and some bad ones, too. I have despaired more than once, thinking I might have dug myself into a deep hole, but in the end things worked out okay. It's perfectly okay to ask for prayers, for wisdom & strength to meet life's challenges. They are gladly sent from here.

I have said this before in other prayer request threads,it is inspirational to see the concern and words of encouragement and promises of prayers from people that have never met face to face.
I needed a good kick in the a$$ to jump start the rest of my life and this was it.
Thanks.
And I also want to publicly say thanks to those who shared their personal experiences,it is encouraging to know that others have overcome greater struggles than I am experiencing.
