Why did god create me in this world of suffering?????
If adam and eve sinned... then why I have to be punished coz they sinned??
I cant stand this world anymore...
God left me totally alone... I used to pray for him for years and cry everyday at night asking for his help... but he never ever let me feel his presence with me.... he left me alone suffering.

Read the Book of Job. The reason why you're not feeling His presence is probably because you're holding Him hostage, thinking "answer my prayers, or else i will hate you." If this mentality is true, then there's your reason, because those aren't the terms that God goes by.

It sounds to me like you might be suffering with some rather severe depression.

Would you please call a doctor? Seriously! I do not want to brush you off in any way, but I think you should do that!

I'm sorry to hear of the pain and aloneness that you're going through. If I may ask, what your age is? The reason I ask is the older you get the more perspective you have to draw on. Perspective is very important. As in art...with perspective, you get to see things from a different angle.

Perhaps the "do whatever you want with me" is your posting on this site. Perhaps the love that you desire to see from Him, will be delivered in a form that you're not used to seeing and one that you're not looking for. Maybe it will be in the loving and caring post that you will see here. Possible?

What do you want for yourself and why would God want anything less than what you want for yourself? God has never left you alone, I assure you. It is accurate to say that at certain times, maybe even most of the time, you don't feel like He's there, but He is. It is impossible for Him not to be, He is everywhere. If God were to talk to you right now, He would say, "My dear child, I love you. You've got me all wrong."

Bible study would really help you. You begin to understand why things are the way they are in this world. Adam and Eve are the parents of us all. Their sin was like putting a dent in a baking pan. All bread baked in that pan will also have a dent. That is how we came to have original sin.
God would NEVER hurt you. It is your perception that He leaves you unanswered. The old saying that God helps those who helps themselves is very true. He can assist you--open doors--provide some opportunity. But you have to do the physical,mental, emotional work.
What does"do whatever you want with me" mean to you? You give Sears catalog dept more info than you've given to God. You can't just say,"give me something" or "do what you want." That is because God gave us free will--we're not like animals who have intstinct to go on. Because he gave you free will,He will not interfere with you. So that means you have to be careful what you ask for. I ask for nothing from God other than guidance. Guidance to make good choices--to do the right thing. And He sure does help me--my life has always been blessed because I do the work and He assists me. Going back to the Sears catalog idea, when you call them you can't just say,"hey--send me something!!!" They have millions of "things." You have to tell them the item--color--size--how many. We give more details to Sears than we give to God!!!!! Ask specifically and realistically for what you want God's help with--and help means exactly that---help means assistance. It's not that He will do all for you while you sit on your butt waiting for it to walk in the door. Get busy living your life--doing--and God's help will arrive.

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1. John 4:7-10

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned; For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:5-21

I will pray for you...

Well... What I meant by "do whatever you want with me" is that im fully submitting myself to him... because i fully trusted him and knew that he knows what's best for me than myself... however, i only asked him to let me feel his love.... you tell me that he loves me and his love can be manifested in a caring post... but i dont feel that love... maybe god gave me a failry good life (from this world point of view) but it never satisfied me... i do not want to receive gifts from god so i can know that he loves me... i want to feel god's love not god's gifts...

also you say that it is all in my hands... how come? one question here: do we fully control our emotions? i do not think so... i do not think we can control who to really love (from emotional point of view)... we can on the other side control how to act with others... we can choose to treat them good and do them good... but we cant control how we really feel about them deep inside...
Same applies to my relationship with god... i can obey him... trust him... but i can not CHOOSE to love him (from the emotional point of view)... it is simply not in my hands... that's why i was asking god to let me love him really... but he never responded.... i kept praying honestly for a long time trusting him... but no reply... what else can i do?
I do not know what to do... but im begging for love all the time and god knows that very well... but he never tries to fulfill any of my desires.... he created me a very emotional person... but he made me not in control of my emotions (whom to love) and he made me so much in need of love that nothing fulfills my desires....

please help me. and please do not simply quote from passages that TALK about god's love... because love is not simply words written.

I am really tired and lost... god totally left me suffering... i am in pain to the extent that i decided from some time ago that ill compleltley forget about god and live without him... but after sometime... i try to look for him again because i cant bear the pain... so it is not him who is even looking for me or wants me back... when i told him "i dont want u anymore... u betrayed me" he simply told me "ok u may go...i do not need u in anything".... is that love????

Hold on a second. You just said, "maybe god gave me a failry good life (from this world point of view) but it never satisfied me." If you can agree to this, then perhaps God didn't abandoned you like you think, right? Just because you are not satisfied, does not mean that God does not love you. It is that perspective think I mentioned before.

I'm also guessing that you are typing with all your functioning fingers, and your reasoning with a fully functioning brain and most likely you'll have something to eat tonight. There are many provisions that you have been blessed with. If it is not love to provide you with these things at the very least, then I don't know what love is. You have been blessed, you just don't realize how much.



also you say that it is all in my hands... how come? one question here: do we fully control our emotions? i do not think so... i do not think we can control who to really love (from emotional point of view)... we can on the other side control how to act with others... we can choose to treat them good and do them good... but we cant control how we really feel about them deep inside...

Yes, you fully control your emotions. Love is not created by the circumstances, the circumstances are created by love. Happiness is not created by circumstances, circumstances are created by happiness. This is the same for any state of being. You have the power to BE those things. When you know this, you will change your life.


Same applies to my relationship with god... i can obey him... trust him... but i can not CHOOSE to love him (from the emotional point of view)

Yes you can.


... it is simply not in my hands... that's why i was asking god to let me love him really... but he never responded.... i kept praying honestly for a long time trusting him... but no reply... what else can i do?

Be the change you want to see.


I do not know what to do... but im begging for love all the time and god knows that very well... but he never tries to fulfill any of my desires.... he created me a very emotional person... but he made me not in control of my emotions (whom to love) and he made me so much in need of love that nothing fulfills my desires....

I tell you this, you're soul needs nothing. In the physical realm, be that which you seek and it will appear. Be love to others and it will appear in your life. Try it and see. What have you got to lose, right?

please help me. and please do not simply quote from passages that TALK about god's love... because love is not simply words written.

Love is a choice, love is action, love is free, love is God.

I am really tired and lost... god totally left me suffering... i am in pain to the extent that i decided from some time ago that ill compleltley forget about god and live without him... but after sometime... i try to look for him again because i cant bear the pain... so it is not him who is even looking for me or wants me back... when i told him "i dont want u anymore... u betrayed me" he simply told me "ok u may go...i do not need u in anything".... is that love????

First, God granted your wish when you said "I don't want you anymore" He gave you free will to go. That is a demonstration of love, for love is just another word for freedom, whether you feel it or not. Second, and more profound is that you believe in a God that has needs. God needs nothing. God needs no-thing. God is sufficient unto Himself.

Simplywhy, you are loved. As I said before, it is all a matter of perspective. You have more power than you realize.

Eph.

How can i control my emotions?? please tell me how.... dont tell me by obeying someone.. coz obedience is not love... dont tell me by respecting, fearing, thanking, and all that.. because all those things come with love, but they themselves do not constitute love...

It did not appear at all... what happened is the reverse... ppl are hating me more and more.... what i have got to lose? everything.. i dont have any friends at all now... my friends that i really LOVE turned against me... why? i have no clue.... maybe im not that good... but i tried to change with all my effort.. i asked god for help... and everything went worse...

i want to feel god's love not god's gifts.
The problem with this is that the gifts that God gives you are His love. God isn't here to make you feel all lovey-dovey. Is this the thing that you are expecting from God, an emotional extacy of some sort?

To some extent God may give you some emotional boost, only if you are in deep deep need of that. In my case, I needed to feel loved because I wasn't getting any love from anyone, but the love I was praying for wasn't the Dr. Phil kind of love, it was a sense of appreciation and honour. This I got, cause I woke up the next day without any depression symptoms, which was all I needed for my feet to be planted on the ground.

So no, God will not provide you with a boost of extacy, that is not what God's presence feels like. God's presence feels like a sense of appreciation and honour. If you are a firm believer in Christ and trust and rely on Him, than God is most likely giving you the emotional support that you need in order to do the good works that he has set out beforehand for you to do.

What else do you really need in this lifetime from a loving God? If you're looking for something else, then you probably have you hope placed in the wrong thing.

All control comes from within. What you resist... persist. I would suggest that you begin a process of meditation and prayer. Prayer is your time talking to God (not demanding) and meditation is a time of listening. Set some time aside everyday to meditate to listen to your soul. It takes time, but the more you continue, the more you realize you already have what you need, in fact your are all of those things.

It did not appear at all... what happened is the reverse... ppl are hating me more and more.... what i have got to lose? everything.. i dont have any friends at all now... my friends that i really LOVE turned against me... why? i have no clue.... maybe im not that good... but i tried to change with all my effort.. i asked god for help... and everything went worse...

You nailed it!You did it! You have just made a grand discovery and it proves that God is listening to you, that He is giving you what you want. There are 5 Universal Laws and you just dicovered one of them... it is called the Law of Opposites. It is a universal law just like the Law of Attraction.

Let me give you a example, I have chosen to be several things in my life, one of those is love. I will be love wherever I go and I will display love in what ever I do. Those around me will feel love when they are around me. It sounds like you made this decision for yourself at some very deep level. So naturally (or super naturally) every type of non loving attitude has shown up on schedule. This is what it is supposed to do.

Life or God does this in order for you to experience what you say you are. You create the environment in order for you to create the experience and beingness that is your deepest desire.

You say your are "peace,: all manner of turmoil shows up so you can be what you say you are.

You are "love," all manner of hatred shows up so you can demonstrate your love.

You are "abundance," lack of every sort will make its way to you so you can be the abundance that you claim that you are.

And so the story goes. Look at what you have claimed for yourself to be, at your deepest level. My guess is that what you are experiencing now, is in direct correlation with your deepest desire and just the opposite is showing up.

It will take time, but it will pass. Embrace all that is happening for what it is and be what you have always desired to be. Be a bringer of the light to the darkeness.

Simplywhy, this is a great day for you. Do you understand this? Do you understand, that God has answered your prayers?

If you want to be love where ever you go, how would you ever do that unless you have a space, a context in which to display it? God has answered you in a way that seems directly the opposite of what you asked for, but He has put you in a place to demonstrate, to be what you said you want to be.

Your duty is to embrace it for what it is and be the love that you desired to be. You will see that you will get exactly what you asked for. It will come as soon as you become love to first yourself, and then to those whose lives you touch.

Perspective.

Eph.

We all feel let down, alone, and sometimes forgotten.
But I can tell you this and it is truth and through faith you can believe it to be so.
The love of God is a gift for us to have no requirments needed. This is the love he seeks from us as well. We love him not for all the goodness he bestows on us and his many blessings, but because he loved us first , so much he laid down his life for you and me and every single person that was or is or will be. "though he slay me , I will trust him".
Some times God empties our hands, so he can fill our hearts.
Don't base your love for God on what goodness is or was in your life, but base your love on the life, eternal life and the goodness to come , if we stand and hold fast to the faith.

simplywhy,
What would make you feel God loved you? If that is a difficult question, think of what would make you feel loved by another person.
Also how would you go about making someone else feel loved?

For instance I feel loved when I'm given responsibility or people just want to be with me. So I feel loved by God when I feel there is something specific he wants me to do, or when I come into his presence and just wait for him to be there. Then I feel loved.

I like to show love by serving others. This can sometimes however make me focus on the task instead of the person. I spend my time trying to serve God instead of walking beside him. I try to be the person God wants me to be instead of allowing him to mold me that way. This isn't loving to God and I myself don't feel love in return.

I think with comments like "ok u may go...i do not need u in anything" show that you don't want to believe that God loves you. You don't feel you deserve His love. And the fact is you don't deserve it. You never have, No one deserves his love. Not me. But still Christ died for us, for me, for you. He loves you and wants you with him for eternity. You have to choose to believe this. I think you said "i dont want u anymore... u betrayed me" hoping you would get a reply from God, instead Satan gave you the answer you expected to hear. That God wants nothing to do with you.

I don't really know you but I want you to feel loved and feel God love. I pray that God is able to show you his love. I also ask that your pray for me as I can fall into the same trap of not believing God loves me.

I recommend that you share your hurts openly and specifically someplace. It doesn't need to be here if you don't want to. Ideally it would be with someone you know in the real world, but you can share in this forum or the woman's ministry forum. Wherever you feel most comfortable. But do it, where ever you share it will be difficult.

LOOK HERE, GIRL! :mad: I'm in a same situation, meaning feeling lost and I dont' have a job or career for 3 years. I'm getting old and all that. Sometimes when I ask for some sympathy, I don't feel like it's real. I feel God forsakened me.....but you know what??!!

He didn't. ...............

I got nothing to do, but he WILL answer something. That's why I'm expecting him to help because I know he will help his children. I just think God...is really busy at the moment.
I have faith troubles at times..and when I read your post, it gives me sense of faith that I will keep waiting.


You're not alone. God never lies. He said he won't forsake his children.

Keep your faith at all time...as i'm trying to do that as well.
