Stranded in January

I was looking for a poem about the account of Jonah and the whale, and yours came up (I am running the poetry section in our home ed co-op group). You wrote:
\'Depression swallowed me like the whale that ate Jonah
Anxiety was the hypothermia that kept surrounding me
In the belly of the beast, I was already freezing\'

I just wanted to encourage you to call out to God just as Jonah did inside the whale. He called out to God and God answered him and delivered him.
In fact God promises to answer us when we really do come to him and ask for help.
Please don\'t give up in your very difficult situation, but do turn to God for help. He\'s really good, and really kind, and he really does care about you and because he\'s absolutely full of wisdom he can give you the guidance you need for your future.
Also can I just suggest that it\'d be brilliant for you and your family to just start attending a decent bible teaching church. I think it\'d be healthy for all of you as a family. There are often people there who really care, and can give you good counsel.
