empty, cold, and shallow

Not open for further replies.
i feel alone and cold. traped in a room that has no lights. i am lost in a sea of black and i can not see my own hand agenst my face.

I sit here cold and empty, like a shell of what was once a semi vibrant man. im alone in this place i call my mind. i cant even hear my own echo, i cry out for help with no response. i plead for a light to guide my way, but i am blind. i did it to myself but i can not rectify what i have done. my test is over my verdict is in. i have tossed my last coin in the well but i hear nothing hitting the bottom, the coin makes no noise off the jagged ledges in the hole.

my insides are decaying i feel ill, my mind is not here, i can only cry in pain, i pity no man; i was a rock in my own path. i am floating by with no destination, a rougue lost in time as events flash over me and drag me under.

i am dizzy lost in this room. i want to vomit this sickness but i lack the strength or the will. i tried to supress my actions, but i lack the power. my deeds are clear as an abyss; and i have fallen. the life has left as i plumit into the shallowness of exhistance.

i want to quit, put in another quarter, but i cant, i wont. my bloodline continues and pulls me thru life. i have givein my all but i have nothing to offer.

i make the motions but the mind runs on into nothin. the intentions are pure, the actions are vile. i cant stand here. i cant stand myself. i cant stand this place. it rips me apart and i try to sow the pieces back together, but i am missing parts they have fallin thru the cracks in the floor. i reach and reach streach till i feel the flesh rip, it is out of my reach out of my hands.

i read a story about a footprint. but i see 2 sets 1 off in the distance; 1 into the forest.

the wolfs are eatting and i am the meal. dear Lord save me, i wish to hide in your arms. please hold me tight or i might fall apart. my seams are brittle my eyes are weary my mind is not here my heart calls your name my body does not. dear lord help me i have fallin apart...................................

Hey man, I don't know your story but that sure sounds like me.
I got straight with God a few years ago. I'm not gonna lie and tell you life is flowers and birds and blue sky. He's been doing some hardcore work on me. I think He had to wait for me to run out of myself, and I did.
He puts you back together one day at a time. I'm a work in progress. I've still got a long way to go. Please don't think I'm mr Jesus man all of a sudden. But I remember being where you are and I can say that God is ready and willing to get you out. It's been a freaky ride so far, but it's better than the dark place.
Hope that made some sense.

Optimus_P,

I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but you are truly blessed. You see that there is nothing good in you. We must all get to that point. In your realization, depend on God. Even though you have the desire to do good there is nothing that you can do to please God...you will always stumble. Your works are worthless, as are everyones. Just call out to Jesus, let Him work through you. All of us must get to the point that you are at so that we can let go of our life and self will, and just let God work through us. He slowly breaks us all of our self, so that we are completely submissive, seeing there is no good in us. Rejoice in suffering, it is then that we grow. Our maturation in Christ is a long process.

God Bless.

this is how i feel. this is how i have felt. it is not for me to cure.

I know this sounds like a game or a riddle but i write off the top of my head.

im sitting here looking out the window thinking of what to say....

i cant think of anything. This feeling comes over me i know its my home. I have lived in it for years because i have built it from stone. seemless and perfect it felt like home. but with all of my actions for which i can not atone.

call me crazy and call me sad, i call it guilt i guess thats 'my bad'.

I dont test people it is not my place.

I write what is on my mind, i write what my tounge can not say. i write for the people to know, we are not alone. we stand next to each other packed like fish but we can not feel or see because that is our wish.

i have sucked the nector out of the apple, but instead it sucked out my life.

Optimus_P-

I am praying that God will surround you with His love and fill you with His spirit so that even if you don't feel yourself in you, you will feel His presence. Optimus, just remember that even when we don't feel like we have the words to express to God our hurt, that the Spirit intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. God knows your hurt and wants to help you. And it seems like alot of people on here want to help you as well. You are not alone in this! Please let us help!

Optimus, you don't have to feel this way.

Go to your doctor and your pastor, and tell them what's going one with you. They can help your spirit and your mind.

I know it's hard, but I have been there and got out through medicine and spiritual medicine (confession).

Don't just keep feeling bad--seek healing.

Optimus,

I have no 'pearls of wisdom' to give you, only that the love of God can fill your empty vessel.

I pray right now that God fills you with His love, and puts purpose and direction back into your life. :pray:

Feel free to PM me in the strictest of confidentiality, Optimus. :)

"In the midst of my confusion...in the time of desperate need...when I'm thinking not too clearly...a gentle voice does intercede; Slow down, slow down...be still. Be still and wait on the spirit of the Lord. Be still and know that I am God."
I do not know you, my friend. I am a very logical and resonable person...I've become very callous...the effects of my carreer. I fight tears in my eyes as I sing to myself the words above...oh I wish you could hear the tune.
Be still, Optimus...and do wait...and while you are waiting...MAKE yourself praise Him. Whether you mean it or not...whether it's going through the motions or not...it doesn't matter. Do it because you are supposed to and for no other reason on this planet. Please. Just praise Him, right there where you are. Tell Him you don't even know what to praise Him for. If it's all you can do just to say an empty "I praise you, Father" over and over again...make yourself do it. Now more than ever in your life...please.

You know what is the most fustrating part of trying to lead a christian life.
the constant failings and rebeliousness of ones actions.

Optimus,

No matter how many times you think you've failed, there is still grace at the foot of the Cross, where you can start again and be whole.

Continuing to pray for you. :hug:

Roberta
