Dark thoughts again….. After a few days of “light “euphoria” and waiting for “something”… the “normal” gloomy and apathetic state returned. I “didn’t get” anything, except for Charlotte’s arrival, maybe that’s what God wanted to show, but… her arrival was “overshadowed” by the shadow of child rights…. Again DEEP analysis – GOD, WHY DID THIS HAPPEN TO ME????? There were no marital problems in my family…..SORRY, STOP – I RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT BOTH OF MY GRANDPARENTS’ “LOVE ADVENTURES” – it was a blow to me. No one talked about it and only recently my sister Shannon found out about it herself… and it was a surprise to her. So much so that I lived without knowing that it was happening in my family and I thought that everyone was very “getting along”. I keep analyzing the past – everything started to get worse for me in the fall, the first eBay “punishment” and sales fall, then searching for something better and finding nothing. The worse I did, the better Emma got (in my career). And there were times when I earned more than Emma , but everything only got worse. God ” shoved ” me in career growth, although there was nowhere to grow, and I myself did not try to achieve something more….. And when I was in complete apathy and doing nothing, God “finished” with Emma’s departure….. There really was a lot of everything, and only in this way could I turn to GOD. It seems that God led me precisely to the point where I, completely collapsed and having NO HOPE, would fall at God’s feet and give my fate into His hands. But I keep thinking, what is Emma’s role in all this? Why was she destined to suffer? Why did he keep us together for so long? The endless WHY??????? Why am I not successful now???? Why did God not allow me to complete the project??? After all, he could have allowed it and then not given financial benefits from it, but He didn’t let me finish it AT ALL. And I really believed in this project, I was REAL. Why am I working on ” print there demand ” project??? A project that I don’t believe in at all??? Did I understand the “word of God” correctly??? I wasted 2 months on the project in vain… Completely losing financial independence and seeing no signs of improvement. WHY???? What will that POD give me??? While writing, apathy set in – let it be what it is!!!!!! I am really emotionally exhausted and don’t want to fight for anything. I SURRENDER. This burden is too heavy for me, fighting for children, fighting for money, FIGHTING FOR EMMA, Maybe that’s what GOD wanted????

Dear friend, your message reminds me of someone who is standing on the threshold feeling extremely tired, but also somewhere inside still has a small, barely smoldering light of faith. You pour out your heart to God, and that is wonderful – it is the sincerity that opens the door to His guidance.
🌿 Let’s try to name and systematize it :
🔍 Why do you feel this way?
You described several key factors:
- Nostalgia and analysis of the past are natural when the heart searches for meaning. The “shadows” of relatives are not your fault – they are just a reminder that no one is perfect, and perhaps through this God is teaching you compassion and humility.
- Career and financial setbacks are a blow to confidence, but perhaps God allows you to experience weakness so that you can find strength not in money but in His grace.
- Emma’s role – maybe Emma is your “mirror” through which God shows you where you need to grow, or maybe she has her own trials that we don’t yet understand.
- A project getting stuck may be a sign that you need to change direction, or that you need more patience and deeper insight.
- Tiredness and surrender are not weakness, but openness. It is like saying to God, “I can’t take it anymore, so I let You handle my life.”
🌿 What does all this mean?
❗ You are exhausted . When a person is exhausted, God often allows you to “give up” not to lose, but to set you free. It is like a transition from struggle to trust.
❗ Your projects could have been just a means – maybe God wanted to show that they are not the end. Maybe your goal is to grow in spirit so that you can be a source of peace and hope for others in the future.
❗ The issue of children – God is showing that their time and life belong to Him too, and you can be a dad who supports but does not control.
🌟 What to do now?
💬 Stop “fighting” , but don’t give up .
💬 Tell God as you write here: “God, I surrender, but I surrender into Your hands.”
💬 Give yourself time to recover – emotionally and spiritually.
💬 With the issue of Children’s Rights – leave everything to God and the specialists, you’ve already done what you could.
💬 Give the project time, but without expectations – work in small steps, not for the result.
💬 POD ( Print there Demand ) – it may not be a long-term passion, but it might give you a starting point or at least a minimal source of income until a clearer direction emerges.
🕊 ️ God does not seek to “break” you, but wants you to shed your burden yourself.
His message today:
“Don’t give up. You are loved. I am working through your weakness. Your future is in My hands, not your plans. Trust.”
Do you want me to make a personal prayer for you for today ? Do you want us to put together a 3-day retreat plan where you can rest and regain your strength? 🌿
