I can't do it alone. Please help :'(

[but'n'ben]

God just isn't helping me in my recent problems and no matter how positive or upbeat I try and be, I'm just becoming worse. I have prayed and prayed. I have offered God my heart and soul for ever in exchange for His help and blessing but nothing. Things are getting worse. I have given Him everything but I still desperately seek His help because He's left me for over a month in a very depressed state.

I have tried so hard to get God to help me. I have given Him everything I could and done everything the bible says to do for God to help me but to no avail. All I seem to do is read the bible and pray but it feels like it's all for nothing. God may just be taking His time in helping me but I have almost reached my limit. If He is deliberately testing my faith, He's doing a good job of it.

I need help. He is not listening to me and if He really does know how I feel, He sould know just how seriously ill everything is making me. I have cried to God, I have been angry with him and later apologised and asked for forgiveness, I have praised Him depite feeling down and my belief is a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes I feel positive about things but most of the time all I can think about is how to get out of this situation.

Please pray that God will answer my prayers because He's really pushing me to the edge and I can't cope anymore.

I will be happy to pray for you, because we all sometimes have our moments like this. You are NOT alone, ok? Don't allow Satan to make you feel unimportant, because you are here on this earth for a REASON. Never compare yourself to anyone else around you with your "stage of life" (Satan's favorite game for all of us). Know that you ARE loved and valuable, even though you may not see it for yourself right now.

I also wanted to ask if you've accepted Jesus? (Since I didn't see mention of Him in your post). When I was feeling my lowest (and even had a bit of a breakdown a few years back) & was begging God to help me, I got angry that I couldn't feel it either. People had been trying to tell me about Jesus for years. I didn't think I needed Him since I was already praying directly to God, etc. I thought it was "optional" to have anything to do with Christ.

Soon after I hit bottom, a "voice" told me that Jesus was the puzzle piece that was what was MISSING! I can't explain it. Our Heavenly Father gave me a gift of Himself through His Son. God and I have had a much better relationship after I got down on my knees and fully accepted Christ. He's like the person who helps you understand the "how-to instructions" on that complicated stereo so that you can understand & see how "everything fits" and eventually "works".

If you have already accepted Jesus as your Savior, and you still feel alone & unhappy right now, then give yourself a time & place away from everything & everyone, and don't be ashamed to raise your arms to the sky & allow yourself to once again feel His love for you.

If the Bible isn't helping you right now, then put it down for a bit and "refocus" so that the Word will have more meaning to YOU personally when you do feel ready to try and study again. I would suggest simply reading Deuteronomy 28: 13-14, as well as Psalm 3: 1-6. Read those for now, as loving reminders from your God, ok?

Those really stuck out to me personally when I was struggling to understand my "place" in the world. (Satan HATES verses like this, as this interferes with how he's working on you right now).

In the meantime, also try and surround yourself with things that are good for the soul - take a walk in a quiet park, hang out with POSITIVE friends and loved ones if possible, rent a funny & hysterical movie, do fun things you did as a kid and made you feel happy (eat a popsicle, go outside & take a look around at the beautiful gifts God gave us in nature....or stay indoors & close the blinds while you dance around to your favorite all-time songs, etc).

A great book to have in your "home library" to pick up and read for a reminder is "When God doesn't make sense" by Dr. James Dobson. He talks about getting yourself through tough times of "testing" & uses his own examples. (Like when he lost several of his best buddies from college all in the same day from a plane crash...). He's a wonderful inspiration for us all.

God bless you!

I have let Jesus into my life. I have given him everything I have that's important to me that I couldn't give anyone else-my heart and my soul, so that he would help me. For months now I have been praying for His support and nothing. I have just reached my last straw that's all. If he is trying to test my faith He should have all the information He needs over the past 2 months.

I put my face to the ground and asked God if He would accept me soul. I asked if he would look after me and guide me. I wanted Him to take me into His arms and help me rise above everything that Satan is throwing at me. But He hasn't. He's left me to feel angry towards people who have done nothing-they were just in the background of my bad situation.

I want Jesus and God more than anything. I want them to lok after me but they just aren't. I have 1 friend in my life that I trused but he's also the one who has hurt me so bad and now I feel like i have no one.

The fact that you KNOW what it takes with wanting Jesus & God, & that you've asked for our help on CF shows me that it's just the "hurt" talking, and not your true heart & soul. You're obviously intelligent! Don't you see that you have multitudes praying for you, even if they don't post a response on a website? That's what this site is for. Our prayers for you will not be in vain. God answers all of them, even if it's in a "different" way such as when we lose someone in a tragedy, etc. Sometimes a situation does get worse before it gets better. It's when it DOES get better that you realize there was light at the end of the dark tunnel.

If it's another PERSON that hurt you, here's a hard thing to do that will eventually bring you peace...eventually....I promise. I've had many people betray me & hurt me in the past. Ask the Lord to BLESS them, despite the terrible hurt they brought you. FORGIVE them, and let go of what it is that continues to stab at your heart & allows Satan to make you feel isolated from your Father. Pain is a terrible thing & we all experience that from time to time. It's so hard, I know what you're going through.

If you like, PM me anytime if you just need to "vent" or want to elaborate privately what's happened to you to make you feel so alone. I'm happy to LISTEN if you need it, and if you ask me, I'll help as a "big sister" in any way I can, ok? Sometimes it's easier to vent to someone not in your "inner circle" of your life. Go ahead and bounce whatever you want to off of me.

I know how you feel. I too have gone through such trials that I thought God was a trillion miles away. Why won't you help me God I would scream. Well I found out that He was there all along. I had to learn to forgive myself and forgive others before the Lord could truley help me. Satan is the accuser of the brethern and he will tell you anything to seperate you from the Lord.
I had to except the fact that God has heard my prayers and believe that through His faithfulness He will help.
Many people who have been healed by God had no idea when He would show up and then it happened. When I expect an answer from God it never comes, but He shows at the most unlikely time. He is there. Those who wait upon the Lord will run and not grow faint.
