[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 757462, member: 23405"] Beta, I'm sorry for your heartache. I often find myself feeling a lot of what you said. I can only suggest you pray for "acceptance". I know for me the knots in my neck are usually due to the fact that things are not turning out as I had planned, wished and hoped for. Accepting "what is" and not forcing our choices and resolutions to the problems is what we need to do. It's not easy and it's something I struggle with daily. Here's an excerpt from a prayer on "Surrendering to God" I have... "In pain you pray for Me to act in the way you want. You don't turn to Me; instead, you want Me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you. Surrender your worries to Him and close the eyes of the soul, turn away from thoughts of tribulation and put yourself in God's care and ask Him to take care of everything." [/QUOTE]
