feeling low

[becky82]

hi

I know im new here but dont really know where else to go at moment. Im feeling really down lately im finding it hard to do much. All i feel able to do is go to work. I dont really feel like part of my church anymore and i cant find anywhere near me which i feel is right for me. I feel so far from God that i dont even know if hes real anymore or not. I want to just curl up and hide away from the world and pretend that my life isnt happening. Although i know what is causing this I find it hard to talk about anything that has happened to me. It feels like talking about things make them seem more real but i dont know what to do anymore and i dont know who to turn to.

Hey Becky,

Turn to Christ, get you eyes focused on Gods promises for the Church age, in Christ you are a new creature, you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, he says to lay all your burdens on him, he promises to carry you when you are low, he loves you and has a personal plan for your life, Ive found in my spiritual life that at the times when I feel the lowest is when God is doing the most work, the end result is us drawing closer to God.

Try and look at your life the same way that God looks at you through Christ, in Christ you are rightious, blameless and holy, God sees you as the end result where we are all perfected in Christ, what is temperal pain for eternal glory.

I think we all reach humps in our spiritual walk, the trick is not to lose faith, it is God who gives us the strength to do all things, enter into fellowship with God by naming and citing any known Sins if you have any as in;

1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Enter into Gods rest and he promises to give us strength through our harder times, just remember that you will not always feel like this, its just a temporary thing, the end result is much greater, and as it says in the scripture his strength is perfected in our weakness's, he wants us to turn to him when we need strength and he promises to provide.

Keep with your faith and just remember that you dont have to talk about what is making you feel like this with anyone else but God, he promises to heal if we have faith in him, talk to God in prayer and he will help you move forward in life.

I will pray for you.


God Bless,
Mark.

You must be feeling very overwhelmed and helpless right now. It must be difficult for you to feel so far from God and not knowing who to turn to. I understand how painful depression can feel and how hopeless one may feel. I just wanted to let you know that you can talk to me if you need to, and there are other individuals on CF who would be glad to listen and be your friend! Do not give up fighting! You are a very brave and special young lady~!

I'm very sorry becky that you are feeling so low and depressed! I pray that you will find someone you can trust and feel comfortable with to talk to....that you will find the strength to talk about the things that are bothering you. I pray that God's peace/love would envelope you and give you rest. God is always listening, you can tell Him all your troubles too. Hang in there! I pray that this season passes quickly for you. Maybe you should think about seeing a councellor or something.
