5 verses for you Terry
Blessed is the man who keeps on going when times are hard.

Don't get tired of doing what is good. Don't get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time.
Galatians 6:9
I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.
Psalm 91:14
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
John 16:33
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust.
Psalm 18:2
As previously stated a month ago, I have told Terry several times that he needs to pick 5 verses that will strengthen and encourage him in his battles...verses to help him fight the thoughts that invade and consume his mind...that he might be able to combat the lies and find hope in the truth. Here are an additional 5 verses that I will drop by to him tonight on my way home from work.

how do you help someone that is hurting?
I wish I knew the answer to this question. I have been pondering it for awhile and I am stuck at square one.
Sometimes you can tell its physical pain and they just don't want to be alive because the pain is so bad. Other times you don't know why their response is cold, distant and short. I mean, you know that we all have bad days, but does that mean you must treat me like this? I love you...my heart achs for you, I want to see you succeed, what can I say to make you feel better? I ask if you are bothered, need to talk, what is on your mind, did I do something wrong, hurt your feelings...you say no...but now I am out of ideas and you are still stiff, rigid and determined to leave this wall up...why??? I know that life has treated you really rough, some of it your own doings but much of it out of your control. Do you know that you have control over you life now? Would you please just believe me?!!
It makes my heart deeply grieved. I want to cry. But will tears proove? I feel I have failed. Done nothing to help you.
So I ask you my friend: How do you help someone that is hurting???
