I feel so empty. No one understands me. I feel like no one cares or wants to care. I feel as though God is mad at me and is punishing me for my sins of not being a better Christian. Why God? Why the punishment? I love you....please don't be mad at me anymore...I can't take much more...I'm sorry...

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Feeling lost and empty...

Praying for you. Jesus loves you. When you ask Him to forgive you? He does! He remembers your sin no more. Unfortunately some of our sins can have painful consequences. The Lord asks only that you do your best, and when you fall you ask for forgiveness (repent) and then do your best not to go back to the same sin. The Lord is not in the habit of being angry at you either, He forgives you! God bless.

Yeshua said - "I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me." ---- has loved them, as thou hast loved me. Wow!
Based on this John 17:23 Scripture, Patricia King = “We all know that the Father loves His son. You know, He loves Jesus so perfectly. As the Lord loves Him - that’s how much He loves you. You might think He can’t because I can’t be perfect like Jesus. God doesn’t love Jesus because He’s perfect, He loves Jesus because Jesus is His son and that’s why God loves Jesus. He loves you the same way. He loves you the same way He loves Jesus because you are His child. The Father Himself loves you.”
praying for you, too.

I know exactly how you feel. People here know I do too. I was in a horrible place. Just thought God hated me and my entire world just was over with. Everything seemed to crash down all at once. I fasted, I prayed, and prayed. I tried so hard and cried so hard to get my prayers answered. I needed God in my life again. I was faced with the most trying and hurtful time in my life.
Everyone seemed to not understand me. I could not seem to talk to anyone without someone taking something wrong. I was devastated. Even when I turned to God there was a void. So cold and alone. Even though God kept someone near and dear to me. I was just so cold and alone.
In time I began looking past me and trying to help others. I had so much trauma in my life, it too a lot to straighten things out. It took God. The funny part is.... while I was all in a panic, He was already digging in right at work in me. Changing who I was. Making me a better man. Eventually I started seeing God was with me all along.
He allows us to fall because we put something in front of Him. At least I did. For me, my pride, conceit, ego, and horrible self esteem all was right in front blocking God out of the picture. Thankfully, God had enough of me and my foolishness. He allowed me to fall and feel that loneliness like I never felt before.
It took that hurt for me to fall on my face and say to God. God! No matter what it takes, do what you want for me and please help me be a better man! What I was praying for. Well. Its getting better. However, when I prayed that He would change me, wow, did He ever. He made me a man that could cope with the trials. A man that did not panic and worry. He made me stronger than I ever had been.
I know you feel like your going through the worse time in your life. Hang on there. Be patient as possible. God has got this and HE is on it. He will move and shape you into who He wants you to be. Just like Job. You will be blessed more than you were before it all began for you. Keep the faith. Fight on and never give up. Trust me. I got close. Really close.
Listen to the still small voice. When you hear it. That is God saying how much He loves you. How much He really cares for you. That is God saying, "I have something better for you".
Psalm 46:8Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
10“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
11The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
Greatpretender, your God is about to make you more alive than you ever have been. Be still, and know He is God. The quicker you relax to quicker He turns things all around for you. Pray for others. Help others. This gets you back to His will and caring about what He wants you to do. Stop looking in the mirror. Look to friends, family, love ones. Look to the brethren. To reach out your hand within your own storm and help someone else, this is the quickest way to get blessed by God.
Don't forget this very truthful and powerful verse.
Proverbs 3:
5Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8It will be healing to your fleshb
and refreshmentc to your bones.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not upon your own understanding. Just trust in Him. You may not believe that there is a better way, this is why we are not to lean on what we think, but lean on the delivering power of the Lord. He will do it in amazing ways trust Him. When you fully trust in Him, He will make your paths straight. Thats right. He will lead you straight out of that valley so easy and wonderfully.
Its been over a year and a half. Yes some things have gotten way better about what I was praying about, and still I pray about them. Now, everything about me that was so messed up, well I am not so messed up anymore. I prayed to be that tree by still waters. I am really getting there. I am enjoying the Lord unlike ever before. I had to just trust HIM. He did things I never thought was possible. But that is okay with me. He is amazing and I love my Jesus.
I will pray with you. God will light the way. Just start heading in His direction.

God's first desire is to love you, and do you good, and not to punish you for your sins. He already punished Jesus for our sins, so he does not need to punish you! God desires first of all to love you, not because you obey his commandments, or because you live a holly life and are good. No. He loves you because of who he is - Love, and because of what he has done for you in Jesus, and not because of how good,holly, righteous or lovely we are, or of what we do. Ofcourse we must keep thecommandments of God, but the Bible says' "I desire mercy and not sacrifice",and "mercy triumphs over judgement".
