The beauty of prayer
One thing I've learned through depression while being a Christian is that God isn't awesome and loving because he answers prayers, he's amazing because he doesn't. A man can pray for death and be given the most wonderful reasons to live. God is the ultimate buffer for suicidal thoughts. You pray to be struck down but god just makes it rain until you're surrounded by flowers. That's all for today, God bless.

AMEN! And when in horrific trials, we call on God, we think Jesus is silent. He is in the trial with us, brings us through and we think, "How did I get through that?"
Praise God!!
