Why should I continue living?

● I'm 34 and single
● I don't have a permanent job which means most of the year every year, I struggle with money
● I live in one room and it is moldy and damp
● I don't have a car
● Nearly all of my friends live abroad, including my best friend
● I have no idea whether or not Christians are meant to keep the Law of Moses, even after TONS of study and reading
● My mum and sister are constantly ill every single day of their lives
● I have to take and have been taking tablets every day for mental illnesses. God can't seem to heal me...
● I have a new battle in my mind against Satan concerning blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (the unforgivable sin)
● I'm lazy, procrastinate and my tablets have had an effect on my brain
● My dad left my me and my Mum when I was just a baby and I've never had a father figure in my life which I really should have had
● I'm in debt
● And I always lose my battles against Satan concerning being tempted to commit sexual sin

So, tell me, why on earth should I continue worshiping a God who has let all this happen? God's love is an absolute joke!!!!! I hate him a lot.

You are where you are to learn what choices or decisions you made got you into this situation and how changing them to different ones can get you out of it. God will assist your efforts once you start changing them and stick with trying to change them. But if you don't make an effort then He's not gonna, etc. And you might want to also change your attitude towards God, other people, and life in general as well. Time to grow up. You're not a victim, etc. Other than just maybe a victim of your own stupidity, etc. And that's what needs changing, etc. Also procrastinating and being lazy will get you absolutely nowhere, etc. Be a responsible adult, etc. Take care of anything and everything that comes up very, very quickly or right away, etc. Work hard to better your life. God will always assist all your efforts if you are doing this all of the time and always, etc. But won't if you are not, etc.

God Bless.

Why indeed? Who can worship a God Who won't give them everything they want?

Jesus.

He accepted the cup of God's wrath for YOU, though it was not His will when face-to-face with the challenge.

But he did it anyway. He proved His love for the Father and you and me above His own life.

Does that have any value to you?

Jesus is calling you to do the same. That's what genuine faith is. And we can't con Jesus, we are perfectly capable of that kind of faith - when we quit hiding behind excuses and submit to his enabling.

Losing battles against Satan? Well, of course. You've adopted his chief accusation against God, like Neogaia says, that of VICTIM. Inspired by the very one getting you coming and going - he thinks he's the biggest victim in all history. Tempt and accuse till you give up.

So... my advice? Make a choice. Remain fodder for the devil and keep holding out for what you demand of God, or crack open your Bible and make this your #1 priority in life: 1) to know and understand God, and 2) ask Him to teach you what HIS will is and how to perform it.

Prediction... He will lead you directly to His Son Jesus... and freedom.


God bless us all!

Man, you are in a bad place. If you do some of the above and lean on Jesus while your doing it you will make it to the end of your life when God wants you to. Please don’t end your life by your own hand. There will be nothing to go to. Do you go to church? Do you take thoughts captive as in 2Cor 10:3-5 ? There’s a lot to live for with Jesus in your heart.

you have the plight of the poor and it may not get better with no money but you can have the joy of the Lord and thereby strength to endure. Jesus loves you He didn’t do this to you, at least you are not homeless like so many others in UK!

I sit around here and fight the devil and flesh all day to keep my joy. I question it. But this is my life and I have freedom. I am forgiven. And I love Him back.

Hating God is not an option, you can do better just try and ask GOD for his help, get off your bum and do your best you will succeed if you persist in doing what is right for you and others around you.

To answer one question about the law of Moses, start to Follow the 10 commandments and see what happens, it will change your life forever.

Sometimes it can seem like God is super far away and against us. You certainly are not the only one that has ever felt that. However, God is for you not against you. Don't buy into the lie that you are better without God.
Consider too that alternatives. Like many, don't you see only two real choices. God or the devil. Of course you know too that the devil is the father of lies and a thief, and deceiver etc. So no help from Him.
So what can you do among all this spiritual activity? You have to accept that God is the Potter, and you are the clay. I have fought God more than most and know that is counterproductive. So you have to learn to flow more with God. In fact rather than push Him away you need to double down. Yes, put aside yourself and your circumstances and move toward God. Humble yourself and simply give your problems to Him. It says he will lift you up. Will he? Yes, but not in the way you are thinking necessarily. Sometimes suffering shows our faith. Do we have what it takes? Often that answer is no, but we can't ignore the spiritual realm. We just have to get in the flow and take the ride that is given to us. This does not mean at all your destiny is defeat, no stay on track the best you can and your destiny is far better than what you would have on your on. Yes, it can seem unfair, yes, you were dealt a hand that was worse than others, but if your online and have any shelter you are better off than many. I have seen some blind with missing limbs sing praise to God with joy that was unbelievably good. Honestly, I do not know how anyone could do that. They found that grace and somehow you are going to find it too.
So what does doubling down on God entail? Find a decent church with the power of the Holy Spirit. Find a way to give a sacrifice of praise. Try to find teaching and reading the bible yourself that lifts you up and gives you hope. But most of all try and have a soft heart. One where the word planted can grow.
I know too the tendency is to compare yourself with others. That is a poor idea. Every true Christian suffers. Jesus learned obedience through the things that he suffered. Learn what that is, it is not false suffering that takes you no where, it is God ordained situations that you somehow have to steer though to get the grace. Lastly, lean on others all you can. Overseas friends are better than none. Work too on your relationships, try and cultivate some that are near.

This may sound too simple and maybe it is but the two items that get Christians off more than others are that they feel God does not love them, and that they need to work to get to God. Don't fall for either of those. So that's about it. I pray that you can get the help you need, spiritual, physical, financial, and relationship-wise. In Jesus name.

We are doing what you need to do . . . simply trusting God with you.

"casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

"'Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.'" (Matthew 11:28-29)

So, if you are "heavy laden", Jesus means you. Jesus wants you. And Jesus is so more and better than any of us; yet, Jesus is not conceited, but He cares about any of us and wants us to be with Him and share with Him in His rest. And if we put God first, we get all He desires to share with us.
