Mr. Smith, I can CERTAINLY sympathize with you!!!
But, as a "wise man" once said to me, "There's a DISTINCT DIFFERENCE between PAIN and SUFFERING, you don't CHOOSE PAIN, but you CAN CHOOSE how you DEAL WITH IT (ie. by SUFFERING!)"
My advice to you (if you care!): go to your local church and introduce yourself to the local Pastor, and tell him you want to learn about Jesus, and how you can get to know HIM!!!
TRUST ME, like many of you, if it wasn't for JESUS CHRIST, I (PERSONALLY!!!) would have ALREADY COMMITTED SUICIDE by now!!! (I'm NOT going to go into the "gory details" about my own personal struggles but, rest assured, you're NOT THE ONLY ONE with a "heavy burden"!!!)
Jesus said, "Now pick up YOUR CROSS, and FOLLOW ME!!!!!"
God Bless you, sir!
