Karen, thanks. I will add that book to the list. I am getting the one saffie sugg first and go from there. It helps to know that you were once where I am, too. Please keep giving me suggestions.
Nocode, some good stuff there. I just wanna be happy. I don't feel anyone owes me anything and I don't think the world should make me happy. I'm just so tired of being stressed and depressed. I want to know how to make me happy.
You said "The problem is that unless we turn these over to God, to place our dreams and our welfare in God's trust, we cannot be happy. Desires, goals, dreams and aspirations, unless they are in accord with God's will, God's plans, are merely selfish and never lead to true happiness.
We merely need to be happy, by turning this over to the Lord."
Ok, what does that mean exactly? What do I doooooo? I believe in God, I've tried to do what GOd wants me to do. I'm like any human being, we all sin. I have sinned and repented and am trying to do better. I am praying. Tell me what else to do.
