Emptiness

Prayer helps.


Although in the 'finding solace' bit sometimes posting on an internet forum may help so that others could be inspired to share their misery as well.


Such as myself. Here I am, a college student, with no drivers license, lives four miles from the nearest bus stop, makes pizza part-time and is split between pursuing one of three women.


But prayer. Prayer helps much. Fall back on God, he will help you.

Psalm 56.

Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me;
all day long an attacker oppresses me;
2my enemies trample on me all day long,
for many attack me proudly.
3When I am afraid,
I put my trust in you.
4In God, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can flesh do to me?
5All day long they injure my cause;
all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6They stir up strife, they lurk;
they watch my steps,
as they have waited for my life.
7For their crime will they escape?
In wrath cast down the peoples, O God!
8You have kept count of my tossings;
put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?
9Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
10In God, whose word I praise,
in the LORD, whose word I praise,
11in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?
12I must perform my vows to you, O God;
I will render thank offerings to you.
13 For you have delivered my soul from death,
yes, my feet from falling,
that I may walk before God
in the light of life.

Counselling so you can see yourself as God sees you: his creation that he loves, and not as you want to see yourself: an abomination, would be a good start.

I don't know what is wrong with me. I feel so empty inside, I don't have anyone to fallback on. I feel so isolated from the world, Like God made me then forgot I existed. I don't want to feel so empty but I have no one to trust, as an abomination I can only rely on Gods disdain, I am strong but even strength wears out. Can I find my solace somewhere?

Love?

Power?

Family?

Are any of these the key to filling my void?

Each of these three are the key to filling your void..if you look at it in the sense that God fulfills all three of these...He's love..He's power...He's family..

Have you ever thought about perhaps seeing a counselor..I think a lot of times it helps to talk about everything and figure out why exactly you are feeling this way. Then you cam make goals to overcome it. And it would be awesome if you could even find a Christian counselor, because then you would have the spiritual aspect there as well, which could help tons.

And like others said, pray tons. It may feel like God has forgotten you, but He definitely has not. And He wants you to talk to Him and fallback on Him.

I'll be praying for you..I hope things start looking up soon.

Hi, sometimes God takes us to a dessert, or period of dryneess.

Have you committed your life to Jesus and have You been filled with the Holy Spirit?

I believe God is saying that he is advertising , Jesus says " If anyman opens I will come in a sup with him."

Thanks for sharing.

Have you ever studied St. John of the Cross's dark night of the soul? It's worth researching. Like the person above me said, sometimes God takes us through a period of spiritual dryness in order to purify our soul. That being said, I feel for you. Spiritual darkness/emptiness can be one of the worst feelings out there. Make sure you have some supportive family members/friends. Pray. Lots. And just know that God will see you through!! I should say though, that if it been going on for an extremely long time, then it might be something more deeply embedded (mentally/emotionally), and you should probably seek counseling and/or medical attention.

Sometimes i get really empty, but it passes. My emptiness is due to my circumstances. It's depressing indeed.

Everybody needs some sort of purpose in life, even if its just to sit in quietude on an mountainside.

I don't no your circumstances but can say that isolation is great in terms of creativity. It's all about imagination. Write music, write literature, draw/paint. Who knows where this could take one.

Having some sort of general purpose will provide a lull in your emptiness and isolation.

And even if it rains on you everyday why care, you are Gods creation, you have a destiny and this is just part of it. This life will pass and you will soar on. Hold on to hope.

Plus fast, pray, seek tranquillity, rest one day a week - give your life a sacred rhythm.

(Give up the Stephen King novels, they are terrifically terrible, uninspiring and empty.)

I'm sorry you feel so empty I wish I could say something to help, but I cannot. Hugs for you
