I'm 33 but Is 33 old? Why do I feel so old?! I feel like this everyday, like time is just passing by and I'm not getting anything done..!
The believer needs above all to raise his or her Ebenezers (1 Samuel 7.12), in trust in Alpha and Omega (Revelation 1).Is 33 old? Why do I feel so old? I feel like this everyday, like time is just passing by and I'm not getting anything done..

If you look up the references, it's about being able thus far to look back in thankfulness and to trust the Lord of time and of eternity.What?
I'm 33, and I don't think we are old I certainly have things I'd like to do or have done, but we can trust in God's timing, not our ownI'm 33 but Is 33 old? Why do I feel so old?! I feel like this everyday, like time is just passing by and I'm not getting anything done..!
Thanks. I guess. Still feel like time is just passing me by...I'm 33, and I don't think we are old I certainly have things I'd like to do or have done, but we can trust in God's timing, not our own
Some bad things happened to me in the past which certainly changed timing, but it is important to let God heal and direct us. I feel very blessed that we have Him in our lives!
I get it. I really do. I sometimes need to tell myself the same thing I told you . It's true though. Stuff happens sometimes, but God is there throughout it all.Thanks. I guess. Still feel like time is just passing me by...
Yeah.I get it. I really do. I sometimes need to tell myself the same thing I told you . It's true though. Stuff happens sometimes, but God is there throughout it all.
I'm 36, and don't feel old...well, most days...I do have days where things hurt that didn't used to hurt...like my back, and feet...but that has more to do with the fact that I'm lazy. Oh, and then songs from high school are on the classic rock station...that's weird...but mostly I feel like high school was just yesterday.I'm 33 but Is 33 old? Why do I feel so old?!

I hear you, and i think it´s normal to think like that to not let life pass us by. I think it´s healthy to ask ourselves questions everyday, as long as it does not become negative. In reality no one says we have to accomplish anything, i think it´s our ego talking. We want to fit in, we want to do something, we want to matter, to leave a footprint in this world. Maybe we should stop thinking so much The older we get, the quicker life pass us by, it´s strange... We should practise in living in the moment, not in the past nor the future, but right here, right now, but that is difficult...I'm 33 but Is 33 old? Why do I feel so old?!

I just want to dedicate my whole self and life to Jesus but I am so distracted by things in my life and I'm always worried about my future or what can be done to make my self and life better. I want to grow...and experience a godly life...do godly things...i feel like me worrying about stuff stops me from living....if that makes sense and one of my other problem is fear..i say I will do things but I don't do it because I'm afraid sometimes..i put it off..i feel like I need to start putting Jesus first and start doing stuff for myself ...I'm 36, and don't feel old...well, most days...I do have days where things hurt that didn't used to hurt...like my back, and feet...but that has more to do with the fact that I'm lazy.

What is it that you feel like you're not getting done?

That's true. I agree..kinda hard sometimes though...What you just wrote above, ask God for it. The one thing I notice in my own life, is if I have idols (ANYTHING that is more important in my life than God) it hampers my success. Ask God to show you your idols and once that is shown, ask Him for help getting rid of them. The ONLY way to advance is to put God first in everything and I mean EVERYTHING.
That's true. I agree..kinda hard sometimes though...
Ok..it won't be easy but I know I can and have to do this..Very hard, yet what you get back in return is priceless, not just for eternity, but for TODAY, for your life here on earth. God is a treasure, a present help TODAY and forever. You have found a pearl in the person of Jesus Christ. What is that pearl worth?
Matthew 13
[45] Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
[46] Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Ok..it won't be easy but I know I can and have to do this..

Yeah I know..i know..i think about that one thing a lot..Amen! One thing you MUST keep in mind is that any power you have to do good is from God, not in and of yourself. In other words, once you start progressing and feeling better do not, I REPEAT do not puff yourself up. It's God working in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure, not your flesh.
Galatians 6:
[3] For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
I can totally relate to that. Anxiety, fear and worry have been very dominant parts of my life for years. I hate to sound like an AA sponsor, but the fact that you see this is an issue is a good first step. The next would be prayer...and not just casual prayer, but deep fervent prayer. Read the scriptures. Find some good biblically based messages to listen to, books to read. One thing that really helped me was listening to some sermons from Alistair Begg on anxiety and worry, that you can find here.
