I just can't do it anymore. I cannot. I feel like giving up on EVERYTHING. when am I ever going to learn to just give it all up and hand it all over to God? What am I doing wrong? I need release and to be free from this "thing" holding me back. I need to run far away from everything I have ever known and surrender. How can I do this? I have no self esteem. I have no confidence in myself. I'm not sure of myself at all. Please help. I feel so helpless.
I need advice.. and fast. :/

My sister, we were never meant to do anything without Him but can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
I would recommend some counseling with your Pastor as he has training and wisdom for such situations.
I will be praying for you.
Many blessings in His Name,
your brother Larry.

Lauralc,
I know from experience how hard it is to give everything over to God. We as humans think that we know better than God. That we somehow can figure it all out on our own, but we can't!
I don't know what you are going through, but I know the One who does. Jesus is walking by your side...wanting to give you the yoke He carries and take the heavier yoke you carry now away. He will never leave nor forsake you.
I don't know if this will help you...if you write the thing..whatever it is on a piece of paper...really small...and then say a pray...kinda like this...Jesus, I don't want (say what is on the paper here) anymore. I release it to You. Drop the paper in a trashcan or in a fire barrel.
Then, I would read the Word. Fill your mind with things of God to take the place of that which you are holding on now.
I don't know if any of that helped. If you would like to get in touch with me at any time, go to my profile and leave a message.
God can help you. I'm a friend and will lead you to Him.

If there was only one thing I know for sure, God's love is perfect and therefore, totally unconditional and He wants a relationship with you as if you were the only person in the unviverse.
He can do this you know, because first he is God and second he loves you as much as anyone who has ever existed or will exist, He even loves you as much as His only begotten Son.
There is absolutely nothing you have done or, are now doing, that keeps Him from loving you. He loves from the time that you were concieved and will for all eternity. But to recieve your God given benefit of this love, you have to make a one-time decision in your life and recieve something from Him and, here is the best part, it is a gift from Him to you and it is free!
Reach out, God willing, I can help!
Blessings
