I need help with God

[+++Tamara+++]

I am 36 years old female, I started work when I was 18 years old, I was healthy, friendly, happy, and cheerful. Had lots of miracles in my early life I must admit that.

NOW, I am not working, confused of what exactly i want to do, lots of ideas comes and goes to my head. I feel old and ill, I have a back problem and that's the reason for leaving my job, I have lots of thought that i will be dying soon with a bad disease, sad and I don't know why I am sad, lonely, don't have any hope in life, I feel that everybody hates me, and they only call me because they need something, they're using me but there is no real love inside their heart towards me.


Sometimes I feel that their is a wall between me and god, he listens to me somethimes when I pray for others, when i pray for myself I feel that he is there watching me praying, I know he can hear me, but he doesn't answer my prayer when it's for me.

I am Scared that if I die I will be somewhere else away from him.

what's your opinion, am I his doughter, or he knows that I am not one of his.

God has brought you to this place so that you will focus on a reconciliation with Him.

Look to the Lord Jesus Christ in His Word and Pray He will lead. Wait on the Lord and He will open the doors. Become a Christian Teacher children can use more of those!

Spend time in meditation? Not all prayer is about asking. Sometimes it is also important to listen.

But any solid advice is going to be hard to give...

ever heard the saying "God helps those who help themselves?" You need to take full responsibility for everything in your life. You created it all over many years and many decisions you made. It's all you. Start there. Also try some positive affirmations each day. "I like myself" say that 20 times a day everyday. And "love" just say it 100 times a day. And just keep praying anyway, remember the story of the The Unjust Judge and the Persistent Widow. I think when I wanted my first business I had to pray for 7 years for it. Wow that was crazy, but also i was trying a lot of things too, and not just leaving it to praying alone. Just keep praying every night. But also start to try just living in the "now" stop thing about the past and the future. They're gone okay. All you have is this moment. And stop thinking so much, stop analysing everything. All you have to do is "just keep on living". And try smiling more.

God is always with you. Jesus loves you.

I think that we have all been in your situation at one time or another in our walk with God. What has always helped me is to meditate on the promises of God.
First, you must believe that God wants you to be whole physically, mentally and spiritually. He sent His Son to take upon himself your sicknesses and He promises to be your healer. Believe that!

Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Psalm 103:2-5
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalm 30:2
O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Psalm 107:20
He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Psalm 147:3
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

Proverbs 3:7-8

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Proverbs 4:20-23
My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Proverbs 16:24
Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

* Watch what you say! *

Isaiah 57:19
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

Proverbs 18:20
A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.


Psalm 141:3
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

Proverbs 13:3
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Mark 11:23
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

*Believe that God loves you *

Jesus said that God loves you even as God loves Jesus...
John 17:23
I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.


I encourage you to believe God's word with your whole heart above everything! His word is true, He loves you and has wonderful plans for you. It's His will that you live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.
Speak everyday that, "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD." ~Psalm 118:17

You sound as though you have depression. God is always there for us. He hears our prayers. He answers them as He sees best, even if we do not see it. Things can seporate us from God. One of these things being depression. How long have you felt this way? If it persists for 2 weeks or more, your body may be telling you that you need more help to balance the chemicals in your brain. Sometimes, when a situation affects us enough, or we are depressed long enough, our bodies need medicine to help re-balance the chemicals in our brains. You may want to discuss this with your dr.

Do not mis-understand me. You must still spend time in prayer and spend extra time in the Word. You should also find people to congregate with. Perhaps from church? These things are very important. It is likely you are feeling left, alone and used because of your recent loss of job. Since you have worked so long in your life, you are more likely to associate your self-worth with your occupation. Try to develope activities outside of work that make you feel better about yourself. You could try to volunteer. If you volunteer to do work that you have considered for a new career, you will get the added bonus of figuring out if you like the field as well.

Know that you are never alone. Consider the footprints poem. You may feel that God is not answering your prayers, but perhaps He is carrying through your trying time, and you do not yet realize it.

May God's Love rain down upon you. May He fill you with peace and understanding. May the Joy of the Lord be your strength.

And in all things, know that I am God....
