I sincerely thank you for your gentle spirit. Who would think posting a simple prayer request would get fiery arrows of guilt, shame, complaining, and laziness thrown at you from other Christians. But mine did. And like a cult, many of them are on here giving each other the thumbs up for this behavior. Then they say they are doing it in the Love of God? Really? If this is what the Love of God is about, then count me out. I have been treated with more kindness, love, and empathy by people who do not even know Christ. If that is not shameful, what is. I mean, how can you read so much wrong in a simple prayer request? They use scripture and then follow it up with their own take on your situation in a clever manner to make it sound like you want to be in that situation, like in some sick way you enjoy being in the well. That is ridiculous thinking. When Joseph's brothers threw him into the well, he could not pull himself up and out of it on his own, or he would have done before the slave traders showed up. Am I right? When the Jews were being chased by Pharaoh to the Red Sea, if God had not parted the waters, they would have been destroyed. Am I right? And some of these people are on here praying for others? Give me a break! I could probably get quicker results if I had Hitler or Stalin pray for me. Listen, I've prayed and prayed about my troubles and burdens until I am blue in the face and nothing. Is that my fault? According to some people on here who claimed to be called by God, it is. Yes, I am angry and hurt by this experience, and it's enough to make me lose faith in God completely and turn into an atheist.... Again, thank you for your understanding spirit.
