i feel like my life is pointless

[Dan the Man]

I do nothing but lay in a bed all day with no one to talk to.

It sounds like you are depressed. This sunday go to a church, try several and seek God in a deeper way. Let's pray Father in Jesus name I ask Your forgiveness for my sins and ways I have hurt other people, Jesus come into my heart and take control of my life, please help me to read Your word and be transformed, amen. Get involved in such church groups and meet other people that you can be useful to. There are so people worse off than you. God bless

You are struggling with depression. I think the best way to start healing is to learn about depression, so that you know how to feel better. There are ways that you can work to change your life, but you need to have some healing and some hope. The Bible is a great place for that, like the Psalms, and the Gospels. Praying for you to learn about depression and to begin to overcome it.

Talk to God! He says be still and know that I am God this sounds like a goid time foe it, I've felt that way before and thats what I did. Let Him speak to you

Dan, I pray for you in the name of Jesus! If you ever get to that point [you know what I mean] go to the Doctor and talk to someone. Plus you always have a place to vent here. God be with you always!

Have prayed. God bless you.

Praying for you, Dan.

I know you have been through a lot of crud (can I say that on here?), and it probably seems to continue piling deeper, but I believe God has a purpose and a plan for you. I hope you will seek the message God is trying to get through to you.

I'm so sorry everything is so awful for you, Dan. As someone mentioned before, please look into VA benefits and resources that may help. Of course, I'll also pray for you!

I am reminded of a book I read about a priest called Father Arseny who had been imprisoned in the gulag for many years, and when he was finally released his health was so bad that many days he had to stay in bed. He spent his time in prayer and was a blessing to everyone he came into contact with. Father Arseny, 1893-1973: Priest, Prisoner, Spiritual Father : Being the Narratives Compiled by the Servant of God Alexander Concerning His Spiritual Father: Alexander: 9780881411805: Amazon.com: Books

Don't give up hope, Dan. God loves you.

Lord, have mercy!

Wow, Dan, that is a lot of hardship and painful trials. Is your injury a permanent thing, or will there come a time when you will rehab enough to have life outside your bed? I had an injury that left me at home and alone for 7 months, and that was long enough. It was the longest, loneliest 7 months of my life, and now I am grateful for every moment I can be mobile.

During my convalescence, I was also very grateful for those who came to my house. Some people brought dinner to enjoy with me and my son (he was very young at the time). It was so nice to have the company. During the days I would sing along with my praise music, pray, read the Bible, watch TV (mostly for escape) and read the occasional novel. Do you have access to these kinds of things?

One thing I found during this time is that I even felt abandoned by God. It was like I searched and searched and could not find him. I was diligent in my praise, my prayer, and faithfulness in spite of not having a sense of his presence. This was a time that was very significant in my spiritual growth, building my faith, and a deep, spiritual work that I cannot put into words or even identify. The one thing I know is that about a month prior to being able to go out again, I finally had this intense sense of just knowing that God's work was within me - and that is not where I was seeking to know his presence. I was looking to "feel" his presence outside of myself, but he was in me, working in me in good ways.

That is my prayer for you....that while you are convalescing, you will be faithful in your spiritual life, and that you will emerge from this down time as a renewed man in your heart and your mind and purpose.

Praying for you.

 

[Dan the Man]

thank you everyone for thinking of me. I would get up and out and go to church and stuff if I was able. but I am stuck in bed and my uncle takes me to any medical appointments but that's it. he's busy. tigger, I have tried a counselor before but I cant talk to people face to face. it is impossible for me now. costino, thank you for your words bro that means a lot. im not sure what a mmorpg is but I will look into it. seashale, I will see if I can read that book. thank you. valleygal, I do feel abandoned by god a lot. I went through a time of not believing but then I felt even lonelier than ever. im so isolated here. my aunt and uncle who live in the middle of nowhere (90 miles from closest city) are the only ones who agreed to take on the burden of having me. there isn't much to do out here. not a lot of books in the house and dish network hardly works in the winter because of all the snow piling up. I thought maybe id be able to heal but I don't have faith in that anymore, so im aware that someday I will be forced to be in a nursing home way before im old. I don't like to feel sorry for myself but I feel like there is nothing to live for. I am praying for god to take me every day so I can be out of this life. I am broken down and ready to go.

First, thank you sir for your service to this country. Secondly, I know that your present, future and past are important. I also know that the search for worth, time filling activities and will to go on can be a struggle. Regardless of these, what's truly important is that we have accepted Jesus' finished work. Our worth is in him, not how much we get done in a day or how well we provide for others, but the hope that resides in him. Don't give up Dan, God can work out good through any circumstance. Praying for you brother.

 

[Hetta]

Dan, who is in your life that can give you a good shake? I think you've given up. You have one life, come on and live it. Think of the guys you knew and loved and lost. What would they say to you if they saw you not living the life they wished they had. Come on. Who in your life will help you right now? Why aren't you calling them? Call them. Come on.

 

[Hetta]

Dan, all I see you is finding negatives. What are the positives?

1. you're alive .................

Come on. Let's count the blessings. Can you do that?
