OT. Prayers needed

[GrayGhost]

Unfort, I did some lies, and hurt my friends inside. Made mistakes and am ashamed, tho none of em were "bad". they still hurt. I am basically out of money and may have no place starting tonight. I NEED prayers and well wishes from all my friends on here.

Have a blessed Easter all. and remember our love for Baseball and each other. Hope it'll pull us all through.!!!!!

Scott:

I don't know you outside of a few transactions on BST, but I'm going to make a couple of suggestions. First stop with all the "need prayers" nonsense. Nobody is going to provide you a greater blessing than yourself. Second, Vince Lombardi used to say that a true measure of someone is whether they make the most of what they have. So take what little you have and make the most of it. Then build on it. That is the best advice I can give for someone in your situation. Remember that you are only a failure once you decide to quit trying.

well said everyone, but its just awful hard right now.

I'll pray for the GrayGhost. Why not? I like his scary name. I'll even dust off the ol' Ouija Board and see if I can get connected to Jesus Himself. I'm due for a supernatural chat session, as I haven't contacted the dead since my famous Toad Ramsey seance a couple years ago.

Scott,

Also do not know you, but offer this:

1) Find an appropriate 12 step group (God knows there are enough different ones around today) and work the program

NO MATTER WHAT:

2) Take actions aligned with your integrity (presume lying and a couple of other things your alluded to in your posts are personal integrity violations for yourself - you lied, but do not want to live as a liar)

3) Take actions in the direction of what you believe to be right and what you want.

4) Put the outcome of any of those actions in God's hands

Fully believe prayers and support help, but also believe that God helps those who help themselves. The actions are ours to take, the outcomes are God's to make. God doesn't do it for us, he does it with us.

The foregoing statements are entirely my belief and opinion and not intended to offend anyone if you believe differently.

WHaT Does "db" Stand for?

I'm not an expert on your problems (or much anything else) and you've probably received this advice many times in the past. It sounds like you need temporary homeless shelter and, assuming you're not physically disabled, gainful employment. If you've not tapped out family and friends, maybe temporary financial assistance is available. You've got to rebuild your life one step at a time. Maybe after a couple months work you would be in a position to rent a room. It seems to me that the last thing you need to be concerned with is dealing baseball cards.

Scott, I also don't know you, but this "prayer" thing has been going on now for over 2 yrs.

In your post above, you said you lied? I am not sure how old your are but based on your life experiences that you have told us about, I would think you would know by now, that lying is just going to lead to further problems, no?

With no money, etc, I am sure it is not easy to get some help, but you need to exhaust all those avenues in an effort to get yourself better.

Coming on here asking for prayers for 2 yrs or more is only going to cause you further grieve as most people are going to react negatively towards you, especially, when they read about your lies and realize most of your problems seem to be self induced?

Imo, and this may be harsh, but I can't help but think you seek attention and love the drama you currently have in your life?
As was written above, you need to do some soul searching, reflect on your past mistakes, and figure out where it all went south on you, then, and only then, can you get on the right path and move forward.

"If you think the way you have always thought, then you'll get what you've always gotten"

Good luck.
