Dr. Matthew Breuninger informs us to imagine Christ in our mind's eye.

Now I can't stop seeing him and feeling God's love within and all around me.

I love the saying by Fr. Richard Rohr: "God becomes what he loves". The more I imagine into this, the more I love God and what God becomes.

So timely for me! I have just realized over the past few months how most of my prayers could be summed up as “deliver me from suffering”. And God wasn’t removing the suffering and at first I was frantic like a caged bird but then in my prayers of pain, God helped me see how fearful I am and the effort I put into avoiding it. And I realized I was being invited to embrace and walk with God in suffering . It has been such a journey of daily, sometimes hourly, submission to God’s Will. I am so grateful because there is true freedom in this.

Your educators are great. I'm just too dumb to keep up and overcome my problems. Your group is gifted. You are smart enough to achieve success over social skills and get closer to our Lord. I admire all of you from afar.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP U SAFE.

How do heal from the pain of a relationship that has ended after 20 years. My heart hurts. I pray God’s will be done…. I’m trying to accept and pray for his well being…

12:00 >> In fact it is the other way around, pain is natural. Suffering is the negative or hopeless interpretation that we give to pain.
