Lost and Scared

[PrincessBrideOfChrist]

Hi there,

I'm really struggling in myself right now.

I have this longing to help my friends but no one seems to need or want my help and they don't understand why I get distressed.

I feel like a crummy friend and like my job is not being done.

Right now I'm unemployed and very lonely. I'm trying to lean on God but He doesn't seem to be enough.

I don't know what to do. There's plenty I can do for myself and strangers but it just isn't the same.

Even what I do for the church isn't enough for me.

I feel like everyone else is doing the same so big deal.

In short I feel useless.

I feel so small and insignificant which I know is a lie.

I'm so scared that I'll never be free of this and that everyone will hate me for it all. I just have no joy in my life. None whatsoever.

I need help! Please pray for me to find joy in the Lord alone, to become what the Lord wants me to be, to find a job and to be a better friend/housemate/church family member.

Noone is perfect.And we all have problems in our life. The worst of all, we always think our problems are the worst.

God helps, sometimes fast, sometimes slowly. Don't think he is ignoring you.

He is filled with infinite love, and will always be with you, and help you.

I have prayed for you, for a better future and a hope.God bless.

You are not useless and God has indeed a plan for you.

Praying for guidance, wisdom, direction, a good job, strength, comfort, joy and peace in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Lord!

Volunteering without pay to help a charity organization to fight poverty and disease mirrors the life of Christ and his dedication to help the poor and sick. Also there's council indoor and outdoor work project. You might even get free accommodation in exchange for your work as a nanny or electrician for example in certain suburbs if you can travel. May our Lord Jesus make you become available in various volunteering jobs to increase chances of employment as you update information on your reference of your activities to the government agency that's if you are receiving unemployment benefit .;*;.

Yes volunteer and look for work. And you say you want to help your friends but they do not let you or engage your help. Sounds to me like you are trying and not useless at all. Having too much idle time can be hard on us. It is natural to want to be productive. One challenge for you is to stop judging yourself. I am not sure why so many good people beat themselves up when they are already down. It is like falling under the weight of the cross and then breaking our knee out of frustration and self-judgment. That only makes it harder to get up again.

The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine on you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.
~ Numbers6:24-26

Praying for you!

Hi, your prayer request touched my heart. You're still young, and my hope is that you not give up! It's clear you're hurting, and there's not a thing wrong with that as life has unavoidable ups and downs. However, be careful not to be too hard on yourself; also, we have a Savior, and we can take those sorrows to the foot of the cross. Even though the Lord knows our needs prior to asking, go ahead and cry out to Him, allow Him to permeate every ounce of your being as far as what's troubling you. His love for you is unimaginable in it's vastness. May God bless you with peace of heart and mind, you're in my prayers!
