[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 740734, member: 15032"] All the suffering that I am hearing on this page is just horrible. I joined a Bible study group a few weeks ago. I have never read or studied the Bible in my life so I thought I would give it a go when a new friend (our realtor) who is lovely, smart and very successful asked me if I'd like to go with her. She said she had gone last year and was skeptical (raised Catholic) but really loved it and it was starting up again. It is non denominational. Being new to the "Bible belt" I figured I had nothing to lose and at the very least, I could potentially make some new friends in my area. I have been going for a month now and I am liking it. It is basically explaining the stories in the bible and studying what they mean. They mean something different to each of us I've found. I have become more spiritual during this journey my son is on. I really want to know more about the layers of spirituality and find a deeper meaning in my life. The reason I bring this up is that last night during the lecture they have after our group meetings, the speaker said that we need to learn to "pray bigger". We don't think we're good enough to ask for what we really need from God. I am guilty of this. So turn it all over to him if you are a believer and hopefully it will give you peace. This is all too much for me to bear on my own. It's just too big. I just cannot get through it on my own. If I did not feel that I had a higher power to help me with this I know it would destroy me.
