benha, don't give up. i'm sure your family would prefer your presence than money. Your daughter needs a father. think more about other solutions and keep plugging away. You will get through this tough time.we'll pray for you, but keep up the fight.

Benha - I know right now this may be easier said then done. But Jesus tells us that his yoke is light and not burdensome. He also told us to Seek the Kingdom of God FIRST and all the things we need will be added.
You have to trust God at His word, that he will NEVER leave you or forsake you! Go to your church family and tell them where you are at physically, finacialy and spiritualy and let them help you. But TRUST God to be who He says He is! He is Jehovah Jiera our provider! Believe it and trust him and watch Him work in your life. Let go of the yoke you are trying to carry and let God carry it!
My prayers well be for your victory!

Benha,
I can not add to what AnointedArcher said.
As a wise man says "keep the Son in your eyes"
God Bless, prayers on their way.

Benha, hang in there. I write this tenderly, but please consider that most life insurance policies won't pay out for situations like what I think you are implying. What a terrible burden would be placed on your family then. Don't give up brother. Things will turn around for you soon. Prayers being lifted up.

BENHA,
YOU HAVE TO HANG IN FOR ALL THE REASONS ABOVE. EVERY TIME YOU WORRY, HUG YOUR DAUGHTER. KIDS ARE GOD'S WAY OF SAYING THERE IS A REASON FOR TOMORROW. WE ARE ALL PULLING FOR YOU. DON'T LET THAT LITTLE GIRL GROW UP WITHOUT YOU!!
PRAYERS ARE ON THE WAY.

What you are considering is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
That aint cool. Your family needs you, and you do not want to desert them that way and make it a life long tragic event they will carry all their lives.
Seek out a minister, and get some guidance.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

George,
I'm sorry to see things continue to slide for you since you last PM'd me...
You are in many people's prayers and have been. That doesn't always mean a quick fix.
The darkest hour is just before dawn the saying goes... When you reach the end of your rope, tie a prayer Knot and hang on.
God puts us in the desert for a reason...and it's sometimes YEARS later till we see what they were.
Whatever it takes, Bud. You need to shake this sense of hopelessness!
See the doc... long term angst can deplete the body of what we need to not be depressed. There are short-term ways to deal with the physical aspects of being this down.
Mouthing spiritual platitudes isn't going to help much where you are, I'm afraid. But the truth is what THP wrote... If you've ever been around to watch a family mop up (literally and emotionally) after someone chooses to "make things better by not being there"... you'd quickly know that is NO ANSWER. And it is so wrong for so many reasons...
I wish I had a buck for every loved one that had to go to a grave site and scream, kick and let out the fury and hurt caused by someone who took that way out. That isn't who you are.
You've been dealt a bad hand. Yup. Many of us can say that a time or two--or dozen, in life... failure is failing to get up when knocked down, not the getting knocked on your kiester!
Success is just the simple matter of getting back up once more than you get knocked down!
Nobody will benefit from the talk your now sharing. I'm not going to judge you, but yes, I will admonish you to seek other avenues to cope... and do it NOW. This attitude has resurfaced now again...so you have to realize only YOU can prevent forest fires.
God is standing there, a willing partner, but faith is believing what YOU can't prove (or see)... and He demands faith in Him to show you a way out that is acceptable and blessed. This ain't it!
Offered in love, brother. Been where you are, thought I coudln't take another day of it...but then I found that I could take way more than I thought when more got piled on and the prior "can't take it"-level seemed trivial by comparison. It's all about attitude and "dying to self".
Keep the Son in your eyes, bud. Confess your fears, cry, spit, kick. God got big shoulders. He knows how bad you're hurting and welcomes your honesty...but He awaits your submission to His will, not these choices of which you've spoke to me and now speak again.
God don't make junk...trust He has a purpose for you unseen now as worldly issues weigh in.
God bless, buddy.

George,
In case you haven't realized it yet you have a lot of people here that care about you and love you.Yes,a lot of them might not have experienced what you are going through and then again some of them might have "lived" through worse.
Back in 1987 I got to travel down that rocky road called divorce.As a kid growing up I had already had the opportunity to go through this more than once with my Mom.I promised myself that when I got married that would be it.No way would I put anyone I love through that!
So,there it was 1987.I am in the middle of my own divorce,my kids have been taken away from me,our house has been emptied of just about everything,and it will probably be going also.
I remember I was sitting in the living room and I was just wondering what would be next and at that moment George I looked over at my gun cabinet[not sure why that was left there]and thought to myself,I wonder which one of those guns would take me out of my misery the quickest.
My point is George, you have a whole lot more to live for than not.The thought of taking the easy way out is not yours alone,but do yourself a favor George and just let it be a thought, and a fleeting one at that.You have a lot of family right here that can and are praying for you and are willing to help you.George,God loves you ,your family loves you,and we love you.You will get through this George.

Benha,
Brother, your family needs you more than ever right now.I'm sure they feel the pressure also. You must all stay together to defeat these troubles. Remember, hurting yourself is a perpanent solution to a temporary problem. Turn to Our Father, The Most High God. With God on your side nothing can defeat you. God may have better things in store for you. But you have to remember he works things out in just the right time. His timing & our timing are not the same.
Put your trust in the Lord, He'll help you hang in there.
I'll pray for you and your family.
May God Bless you!!

Prayers sent! I can't add much to what's said. I do know that when I wake up in the morning after feeling I couldn't handle anymore, that I did make it through another day. I know that when everything I had was taken away I was far richer than I knew. I had family, friends, and God loving me. These true riches I never saw when I had the things that I thought were riches. May you feel and know God's presence.

Prayers continue bud....
