by Gail Rodgers

Carrie was frustrated. Anger played at the edge of her heart. Why didn’t God answer her? Why didn’t He rescue her in her situation as she begged Him too? She began to pray less.

I don’t know what to do with my life! I mean I know what I want to be when I grow up but I still feel so horrible because I don’t like or enjoy life. I cut myself sometimes and make myself throw up because I believe I need to lose weight. I am NEVER going to kill myself but I still have thoughts. How can I stop these thoughts and actions?

Please pray for me that I find the strength not to stop believing that our marriage will work, and that my mother-in-law will stop her meddling.

My husband has been corresponding with another woman via email. I read the conversations and they were very graphic (sexually). He claims that he didn’t have sex with her, but that is hard for me to believe. I am thinking that divorce is the only option for us; I can’t trust him. I know I made a promise to God but I can’t get over the hurt and the pain. I am not sleeping or eating. Please pray for both of us. (thelife.com/experience)
