Not wanting to live is a very dark place to be...I might not have thought my life had value after my husband died but the Lord sustained me .
It took a very long time for me to learn the lessons He needed for me to learn. I am not in control..He is.I am still learning.. My plans and dreams might not be His for me. He has taught me contentment.
I have times of pain, fear ,disappointment,sadness, anxiety but I no longer despair. I am not in charge..God is. He is still working on me...He hasn’t given up on me...nor should I. He just needs me to be willing to accept His Will ( and not sweat the small stuff..)

These words encouraged me just now. I have been going through some very dark valleys with my adult children, and have had to deliberately keep my eyes focused on Jesus. You are right. Our plans and dreams often are not what God has in mind!
Bless you my dear sister in Christ!
