Depressed

[DrummerGirl]

a lot of things have been changing for me. my best friend Lindsay , who brought me to christ just doesnt seem to care, she has a lot of other friends since shes in to sports and stuff, while i on the other hand cant play sports, and have very few good friends exept Lindsay. We have this thing like one weekend a yr called disciple now, its like  a weekend camp... and i was REALLY looking forward to it, and Lindsay asked me not to go, she wanted to be with her other friends... Now she says she needs sspace from me... We havent talked except for lunch everyday and when my mom takes us both to school...this is really taking a toll on my heart, i cry my self to sleep, that is if i ACTUALLY do get some sleep... i dont like doing the things i used to any more, like praying and worshipping, playing drums... its doesn interest me cause we used to do it together, and now im doing it all alone. I dont know what to do, i dont know if i should try couciling, ive tried talking to her and everything, and God only knows how much iv'e been praying... i just dont like being this way, please help wih prayer and/or advice

   I know what it's like to have friends leave, draw close to Jesus. I'm not sure I can be of much more help, being somewhat depressed myself. God WILL help you go on, you'll work it out or there'll be new friends.

People don't bring people to Christ. God does the work.

Friends come and go; Christ always sticks around. As you go through life you will gain and loose many friends and/or people you thought were friends. Many of the people we call friends, are simply acquaintances, and are going to come in and out of our lives.

I dint think God meant for Lindsay to leave me, i dont think you understand what we had, im sick and tired of losing EVERYTHING

Jesus is everything, but that doesn't mean I'm saying your friend doesn't matter. Talk to her then, I guess. Gee I'm no good at this am I, I'll pray... "He" will do a better job than me... Hey is that quote implying a rider? My sis rides horses.

I've prayed.

Remember, everything that happens is God's will. It might not always be pleasant, but remember that God loves you and it's working out for the best.
If you want my advice, tell her how much you mean to her, tell her how much it hurts you that she's trying to break away from you so much.

I'm sorry to hear that drummergirl. It is always hard when our friends seem to turn away from us. But you will learn in life that you will lose friends. For different reasons. Sometimes you just outgrow the friends you have had. Your interests change and you go in different directions. But while you will lose some friends, you also have opportunities to make new friends. And Jesus is a friend that will never you. Talk to Lindsay and tell her how you feel and how it hurts that you seem to be losing your friendship. But also look around you in the activities you enjoy doing and see who God may have put there for you to make new friends with. Don't limit yourself to just one friend. Make many new ones that share your same interests. You just may be surprised who will become your new friend.

Come now DG. You're old enough to keep on going yourself. Don't let changing friends discourage you. The best part of growing in Christ is to experience change. Sometimes the change we experience isn't pleasant but it's for the greater good. Keep doing what God wants you to do. Don't bother too much about being abandoned by friends.

God puts situations like that for a reason and you'll have to come through. God will make sure you come through in one peice though .

Praying for you.

 

GOD BLESS!!

I can't tell you why a lot of things happen. But it all works out. Sometimes you just have to hang onto God and believe He will carry you through the storm. He has a point of view greater than we can imagine. We cannot possibly understand why He does things in our life that are painful. But when it is over we can look back and then understand. You are at the occasionally brutal age of 15. Sometimes the people we love do stupid things and hurt us badly. Sometimes we hurt them. Sometimes we grow apart. In the bad times remember these three words, "It's all good."
You're gonna be ok.
