text: christians: i am crossing the dark valley. it's so painful, how to pray, how to trust that better days will come? if i tell you all that is going on you may not believe, it is a lot but i want to be strong and to have faith. how to pray in a simple way? how to believe jesus has not abandoned me? he sounds so distant.........tell me i am not alone! i have no one to talk with, it seems this is a huge test. everything seems to uncertain, insecure.........i need to believe he is in control. i do not live in the usa. i know people find a lot more support. i love my church in my country but we don't find as many people to help as you do up there. pray to god by first blessing him give thanksfor everything then after ask him to forgive your sins each name them all and confess. then ask him to help you with your situation. talk to god as he was your friend but dont forget to do it with high respect for he is not like oneof us he is god. my lord help you and keep you i will also pray for your situation
