I tend to do most of my "conversing" with God while I'm driving. It is when I have a clear head and I'm not so focused on everything else about my day. Every time I start off by saying I'm so sorry that I am not thankful enough for what I have, but at the same time I am asking for more. I'm asking for a better job situation, answers to my financial problems, my mother & father's better health, and less stress for me. Then I go right back to feeling guilty because I sometimes forget to thank Him for everything else or to pray for all those other people who have significantly less than me or more problems. It makes me feel selfish. I try to make excuses, like when the overwhelming stresses of my burdens are lifted, I will have more time to pray for others or be more thankful. I think I'll definitely be praying for the same as you. Thanks for putting it into words. :) You know Andy, it is the same for me too. I tend to do most of my “conversing” with God while I’m driving.

I feel more stressed than ever right now, sometimes I show it and sometimes I just smile and act happy like nothing is wrong. I feel like I am the most over whelmed person on the face of the earth. I have major family issues, I'm having car issues, I'm having school issues, issues with girls, I'm having LIFE issues. I see what I have compared to what other people have to deal with, and then I see that my life isn't nearly as bad as how other people have it. These are things that everyone deals with and I will learn that it'll all come out ok in the end. But while everything seems to be bad in life I need to see it for how it is and have faith that things do work out and reach what they were meant to be by God.
