How do I pray to Lord Jesus Christ about my mother passing away today?

She was in a nursing home. Geriatric abuse/neglect. Anyone know about the industry that drugs up the elderly & kills them off fast & then profits off of it?How do I take it? I feel like crying. Why are people being rude & harsh to me about my mother's death? She died today. My mother just passed away today, & I'm almost 2,000 miles away from all my family because (long story). I have no family where I live.All these people keep saying they don't believe me, that no one cares about me losing my mom. Why so much disrespect & hate? My biological mom just passed away today. I'm in California. I have no way to get down to New Orleans for her funeral. When I 1st heard the news, I nearly had a seizure. I'm shocked & can't cry.We were in foster care all our childhood & reunited with our birth mom when we turned 18. I'm 30 now.Me & my twin sister got into a heated argument last week, & shortly after, my phone broke. We never get along because of foster care. She e-mailed me the news today, & all she has to tell me now is that I need to lose weight.She was smearing it in my face how she lost 30 pounds. But she lost it by being sick & can't eat. She was 290, but now she's 260. I also weigh 260. That's all she can tell me, since my mom died, trying to stir back trouble again.Back on topic, how do I take my mom's death. It seems unreal. I tried to ask my twin sister a couple of months ago to talk to my biological mom, & my biological mom said she didn't want anything to do with me. I hadn't heard from her since 2011. How could she be grudging/mad @ me?Should I grieve, mourn, or not care? My mom didn't care about me or do anything for me when she was alive. My dad is dying, too.I'm hurting. I'm still a new Christian, learning. I've been THROUGH it with my family. They hate my guts & don't care about me, but I still care about them.I feel the need to mourn my mom, but she hated me so much she wouldn't want me to mourn her.I need comfort.So many people calling me an attention-seeking liar. Why lie about this? Just because my mother was abusive, does that mean I don't have a right to mourn her death?Sorry, Frankie. I was brought up in a cult all my life with the abusive foster mom, & I'm still confused about the names Lord, God & Jesus Christ.

How to Lose Weight in Your Cheeks

Recommended Answer:

First i want to say that i am so sorry for your lose. I know what it's like. I was not put into foster care and i had two loving parents who raised me BUT i my oldest brother passed away in a car accident when i was 18 and my dad passed about 5 years after that. It has been over 3 years since my dad passed. I am now 27 years old. Just wanted to let you know that on the subject of pain and suffering and losing people in your life, i and many others know how that feels so never feel like you are alone. Because of that and also because you know the one who cares for you the most anyone could...God. Just because your mother was not a loving person toward you, and just because you didn't have a good relationship with her, and just because she was really no "mother" to you at all, does not mean you should not mourn her death. It just means you may mourn in a different way or for different reasons then others. You will/can mourn the fact that you never had her for a mother at all, and that because she was the way she was you never got to experience the relationship with her that anyone would want to experience with their own mother. You will/can also grieve for the fact that she lost her life never getting to know you or God. You sound like a beautiful person. I'm sure you have your flaws as we all do but you have a good heart, and i know that because of what you have written here and because you know God. It's sad that she never got to and never wanted to know you. She missed out. Because you have a good heart you will mourn. Not because she was ever a mother to you but because you have a kind heart and because you care for others and love others even when they in no way treat you with love. That is only one of the good things about knowing God. That's the kind of heart His children have, caring for others when they don't even care about you. As His child that is how you should be, and amen that you are :) You can grieve and you should because if you don't those feelings you choose to bury will come back to haunt you, trust me on that because i have been through that. So grieve, but don't let your sadness control you and your life. Find a constructive and Godly way to grieve and at the same time move on. I know it's easier said then done but as long as you are looking to only one who can really give you the comfort you need (God), then He will get you through it. You don't need to know exactly how He'll get you through, and you don't need all the answers, all you need to do is trust Him with it all. As for your sister... It sounds like the coldness your mother may have had in her heart, ended up causing coldness in you sisters heart and i am sorry for that. For you and for her. When people treat me badly for no reason, or find pleasure in trying to bring me down i honestly have learned to turn what once would have been anger or hate toward them into sadness for them. When people act that way and others react back at them with anger and hate, i try to tell them not to let their coldness affect them personally because we have no idea what they have been through. Obviously what you and your sister have been through is tragic. You are blessed to have come out of it all with the warm heart that you have, and you are blessed to know the Lord. Your sister on the other hand didn't come out of it with the warmness that you have and for that you should feel sorry for her. It is NOT wrong at all that you care about her and treat her with love when all she does is treat you with hate. That's how you should be as God's child. He blessed you with a warmness that she doesn't have and for that you should be thankful and for as long and as mush as you possibly can you need to try and pour that warmness out on her no matter how she chooses to treat you. That could make all the difference in her life and in her heart in the future. That doesn't make you weak in any sense..it makes you strong. The fact that you can treat others with love when they treat you with hate is a strength not a weakness. Keep going with that and never give it up. Be a good example of God to her and to others around you and you never know the difference that could make and you never know where it could lead them. If it never fully reaches them in the way it should or needs to, then at least you know you did right by God and you were the strong one. You treat her with love and you grieve for your mother and you pray to God about all of it. Seek His help and His comfort. He is the only one who can give you the comfort you need. If you want to talk more, i'm always free. Don't hesitate to email me anytime. I am so sorry for what you are going through but i trust God as should you, that He will get you through this. I'm praying for you. God bless you!!

Other Answers:

• Ask him to give you peace I will pray for you tonite.
• Everybody dies! Praying doesn't work.
• Pray. Listen to some relaxing music (look it up on youtube). Drink some tea. You need to unwind. It was your mother, of course you will grieve. - whether she was a nice person or not - you will always have that connections - mother/daughter. We all grieve in our own way, so I'm sure whatever happens will be the 'normal' for you. You may cry your eyes out and not want to get of bed at first or you may NOT. You will go on with your life and just accept it as is.
• Pray for strength for yourself and others who are grieving the loss.
• I'm sorry about your confusing mix of emotions and your loss. If praying gives you comfort, then by all means pray. If you need to pray for something specifically, then pray for comfort and peace and understanding.In a practical sense though, it's natural that you're confused, and hurt, even though this woman was not a large part of your life early or later in her own. But don't worry. Time has a way of putting these things in perspective, and allow you to accept what was, and what will be.In a more immediate sense, if you want to do something that will make you feel better, have a good cry. Then go for a long walk. Don't talk on your phone or text while you're walking...just walk as if you have to get somewhere. Physical activity like this has a calming effect on a troubled mind. Doing this daily may increase the desire to do it daily, even when you're feeling better emotionally, and only good things will come of that.Be strong and take care.
• Mourning isn't for the dead, it's for the living. Mourn.
• I guess it's hard for some people to believe what you are saying because you do not seem to be reacting like a typical person would in such a situation (I lost my dad who was also in a nursing home last year and would have never thought about coming on the internet to talk about the situation----I was also in shock and burst out crying and was too preoccupied with the whole situation to come on here and say a bunch of different things). If you are indeed telling the truth, I can understand that your situation would be different than mine----but I would suggest you talk to other family members or even a counsellor=====if you can, I would also suggest you go to the funeral (no matter how strange that may feel). I strongly doubt anyone here can give you all the answers to the complicated situation you are writing about here.
• You don't pray to Jesus , you pray to God in the name of Jesus ,just like Jesus said for us to do. If you notice in the bible after Jesus died, the apostles always prayed to God and never to Jesus.Only God should be prayed to and worshiped.
• Yes, grieve. You are grieving already. Let it out. You have a right to your feelings, and you have a right to mourn.It seems you've been through a lot of cr*p with your family. That doesn't mean that you don't love them or that you have no affection or feelings for them. Of course you do.How do you pray to the Lord Jesus about this? Get alone in your bedroom and let it all out. Tell him everything: good, bad, and indifferent. He can take it. Also, it may be comforting to you to read Psalm 23 in the Bible. Many people read it when a loved one has passed away. Now that I think about it, read about how David dealt with the death of Saul, who tried to kill him. It's in the first chapter of the Book of 2 Samuel.Talk to someone at your church about this. As a new Christian, I hope you have a pastor, counselor, or good Christian friend or adviser that you can trust. I'd also recommend you see a counselor or therapist to help you cope with a ****load of family issues. You were dealt a very bad hand, and God knows this, and in spite of all that, God is for you.I'll pray for you. May you find comfort in the arms of God and in the good thoughts and words of compassionate people.Addendum: if you want to go to your mom's funeral and can't afford to go, ask your family members to see you through and pay your way. This is a one-time thing, and I hope that they will see your need to be there and will want and need to have you there. Possibly your church may have a fund for this kind of situation, and they might help you financially, too.
• Sounds like you are already grieving her death. Keep doing it, let it out. If you hold it in, it will make things worse. You apparently have some feelings for your mom, and that is great. Things have not been good for you, so accept the good things you do have, your feelings for your mother. You need to have closure, to accept that she is gone, and that you did have some feelings for her, regardless of how she felt about you. I don't know what happened to cause the bridge between you, but let it go. If you pent up guilt and blame yourself, you will only make yourself suffer more. Your mom is gone now, and that is that. Let your feelings for her show, cry and let it out. But DO NOT hold in guilt, she is gone, guilt will NOT solve anything afterwards. As a Christian, you must keep your Faith in God. He is NOT here to help us, He has given us the ability to help ourselves and others. We are here to not to seek His help, but to prepare ourselves for the After Life. THAT is the goal we must keep. Remember Jesus died, not giving up His Faith. This shows us, that we too can do the same, even under horrible conditions, and that we too, can be in Heaven with Jesus and God. Keep the faith, no matter what. And mourn your mom, if that will comfort you. She is gone, she does not need comforting, but YOU do.
• Father God, I come humbly to you to ask for peace, comfort and to thank you for all the blessings you have given me through out my life. Please help me to understand what is happening to me and to give it all to you for I cannot handle it, but You can. Please take this heavy burden and give me yourcomfort and your love. I thank You for what you will do and I ask in the precious name of Jesus, Amen.
• Hi, MingChong-First, I am so sorry to know that your mom has passed away. You really cared for her and for what was going on in her life; to care like that for a mother who was distant from you is really love. From what you wrote, you loved her very much. Sometimes when someone dies we grieve for what might have been and for what could have been. Maybe that is you; I know that has been me and that makes the pain all the more intense. Your concerns about what happens between you and your sister shows how much you care for her also. Never give up on reaching out to her; love does conquer all, especially when we know Jesus Christ to be our source for that love.My only relative, my brother, died in June this year. He suffered greatly from mental illness and he and I were separated from each other for over 30 years. But we met again 1-1/2 years ago so I have those memories to add to photos from our childhood. I made a photo album and put my treasured photos and wrote my memories of us in it, but that's not a lot of pictures, and the album seemed empty. So here's my thought for you: I decided to make a photo album of my entire life and put it in the album I had made of my brother and me. Writing about each photo as though I was explaining each one to him made me forget at times that he was really gone. I just wanted to tell him everything that I could remember of my life for thirty years. And while he can't enjoy it with me now, I offered it up to God with all my tears as a thank offering to God that one day I will see my brother again and we will pick up where we left off. So I pray now for you in this really sad time and I pray for your relationship with your twin sister. May God wrap His loving arms around you and may He give you peace and comfort and lovely memories of your mom and sister. I ask Him to fill you with happy memories about your total life and fill you with wonderful expectations about what He still has in store for you in your future. May you know that He cares for you and loves you unconditionally, and He desires joy and happiness in your life with Him. May His wisdom lead you to know what the right decisions are for a relationship with your sister now and in the future. And finally remember that you are loved by the Creator of the universe and that all your brothers and sisters in Christ love you too.His blessings and grace to you-

Please help me decide with food to eat?

I've been dieting and exercising for a couple months. Just wanting to improve my overall health and lose a little belly fat. Right now I have cooked brown rice and vegetable stew in the fridge. But I've been thinking about gyros all day. I'm craving a gyro and a side of fries. There's a restaurant near my place that sells them. I could have some in a few minutes.Please help me decide which food to go for. My mind is going crazy! And I'm hungry! Thx

How to Lose Weight Without Cardio

Recommended Answer:

If the brown rice and veg stew is what you have typically been eating for a couple of months, you body may be instinctively craving missing nutrients you need. If you have fallen into the "fat-is-bad" theory, the fries may be calling you because we need fats. You might find that healthier fats - olive oil, butter, coconut oil, etc. as a part of your regular diet may dampen a craving for fried foods. If your diet is vegetarian and you are not careful to eat combinations which supply complete protein, meat may seem very attractive as your body sends out a signal to eat what it is missing. Whatever you choose, enjoy your dinner . . . and continue to eat wisely :-)

Other Answers:

• Sometimes you need that junk. I got so sick on a diet once I has a big Mac and felt like a new person. Just don't eat it everyday.
• Eat the stew, but limit the rice. The bread from the urine is going to be a big no-no if you want to lose weight. Carbs cause a release of insulin, insulin is the fat-storing hormone.
• compromise!! make your own gyros at home. use ingredients you know you love that are also healthier than the fast food places. That way you get to satisfy your cravings and feel good about it as well.

Other Answers:

• You're already 10 lbs underweight, so don't try to lose weight. You just need to tone your tummy.Here's a good low-carb food/exercise plan:Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Then stir in low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on multi-grain (not just whole wheat) bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts, yogurt, fresh fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit. Nothing ever from a vending machine. Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it. Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers. Avoid junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, anything with sugar (cancer cells feed on sugar), gluten, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, ramen, popcorn, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, soda, chips, tobacco, alcohol and coffee. No oil except olive and mac nut. To keep your skin clear, drink water, tea, unsweetened veggie and fruit juice. Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve, but you have to ask them. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.For more energy, take Super B complex.
• I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.

What foods can I eat, for weight loss, on a 1200 calorie diet?

I'm 13 and want to lose 40lbs! I really want to change my life so I can feel heathly and look good. Thanks xxx

How to Suggest That Your Girlfriend Lose Weight

Recommended Answer:

No human being should restrict themselves to 1200 calories a day at 13, that's asking for medical problems later on.1. Consume between 1500-2500 calories a day. Trying to stick to fish, almonds, walnuts, and lean proteins in general, plenty of raw fruits and vegetables, and complex multigrain carbohydrates.2. Do NOT starve yourself, do NOT binge eat. Plan your meals and snacks out throughout the day so you never get too hungry.3. Be as active as you can; nothing to do for 10 minutes? Knock out 10 push-ups.4. Eat some spicy foods, and drink between a half-gallon and a whole gallon of WATER a day. Avoid anything deep-fried, white bread, sprinkles, and any refined sugar.5. No more soda. Ever.6. If you do drink coffee, drink it black.7. Do at least 35 minutes of cardio straight at least once a day, at least three times a week, more if you are not trying to put on muscle.8. Do a large amount of full body exercises whenever possible (Jumping Jacks, Pull-ups, Chin ups, dips, squats, hanging leg raises, hanging knee raises, back raises, glute ham raises, burpees)9. Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night, but no more than 9.10. Actually stick to it till it becomes habit.You can feel free to email me with any questions or comments.
