The Lord doesn't want you to parish. He died for you but he didn't promise a problem free life in fact just the opposite. You coming here asking for prayer shows your faith. Just keep believing he has a plan for you and wait patiently for it. Praying for you.

Dear Lord, I pray for Robert, that he not lose hope, that he not lose faith, for You are there, please make this apparent to him, Father. This life is full of ups and downs and in-betweens... while Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever. You are the Great Physician, please come to this man's aid, attend to his grief with regard to the loss of his friends. Guide him to solid Christian fellowship, and impress upon him the importance of reading Your Word, which is Truth. Let him know that it's when we're empty before You, that You will supply all our need. In Jesus' name, Amen!

Praying in agreement :prayer:

The last few months has been total hell. I finally came close to god and as soon as I did I lost 2 friends one to cancer the other to suicide, I have no church, I was back stabbed by so called mates of mine.

Then doubt crept in and terrible thoughts aswell as temptation beyond my ability to take. Not to mention coming in to contact with something from the other side that was horrific that i dont talk about cus people would send me to men in white coats.

No matter how much or sincere i pray i get no anwser or help I feel im up against the ropes and feel i cannot be saved anymore that ive been abandoned.

Well since the other morning ive woke up and lost my faith, feel pure hate for people, my fuse is extremely short and ive got no love or sympathy for people anymore no matter how deep i dig down to myself.

considering im not listen to anymore and totally alone in this battle, maybe one of your prayers will be heard before my time is up. I feel totally hopeless.

Elisha in the bible had moments like this. Please realise that God has not abandon you. Tell God everything and believe that he will help. I will keep you in my prayers.

Richard and CoG,

I can guarantee one thing from direct and dramatic personal experience: the Lord Jesus Christ is in that pit with you. Having freely offered Himself to die on a torture stake for you, He is not easily going to abandon you, even if you mess up. He has already defeated and humiliated the devil, and ultimately is in complete control of everything that goes on. All that is necessary is that you turn to Him in faith.

You do not have to earn your own salvation, and indeed you can't. You know that is directly against Bible truth, and an insult to the Spirit of grace. Labor to enter His rest. Stand fast against all the wiles of the evil one. Endure patiently, and you will preserve and renew your souls. What you are experiencing is a lie designed to trick you into giving up. Don’t do it. Soon the enemy will be placed at your feet, and indeed, he already is there, you just have to recognize and believe it.

Father, I ask you to shed Your grace onto this situation. Open the eyes of their hearts, that they might know the riches of the inheritance of the saints, to which You have called them in Christ Jesus. Comfort and affirm them, and strengthen them through faith in Your lovingkindness. By Your gentleness to them, make them great in You. No one who places their trust in You will ever be ashamed.

Eph 1.17-ff; 3.14-ff; 6.10-ff


See I've been knowingly living a lie, basically taking advantage of my girlfriends love and kindness and not doing anything about it. God has shown me in the past what I was doing yet I continued. I now havent slept in 5 days straight (Isaiah 48:22) yet I'm wide awake. I have no doubt brought condemnation on myself and I can't feel any remorse, fear, pain, anything....nothing at all. She's peeing blood and I don't even care. I've always been concerned about myself. I thought I changed when I got saved, now I'm thinking I was never saved to begin with. I have given up on life which is a blessing from God. I've taken everything for granted, including her, my jobs, family, everything. I'm so double minded that He won't want anything to do with me and He will never let me sleep knowing what I've done. I probably shouldn't have gotten baptized until my heart was totally pure, which it wasn't. That was the night that the demonic attacks started. My heart is stone and irreparable. I have no love or care or motivation, I just want sleep and I can't. I've already sealed my fate.

No, "today is the day of salvation; now is the acceptable time" (Rom 10). God delights in repentance, and the angels rejoice over every person who turns to God.

You may have done bad things, but none of us could ever merit heaven. The Lord says "come let us reason together, and your sins, though as scarlet, will be washed as white as snow" (Is 1.18). He's not talking about having taken an extra cookie.

Check out the guy in fornication in 1Cor 5. Paul feels so strongly about it that he has the guy thrown out of the church and turned over to satan. Now look at 2Cor 2, and see how tenderly, solicitously, he welcomes the guy back after he repented. That's God calling you.

You don’t have to feel anything in order to repent. You can come to God with the deadest of hearts. Repentance is simply a change of mind. In this case, you already know your sin. What's needed is to believe in the mercies of the Lord.

The law is the tutor that leads men to Christ -Gal 3.24

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose. -Gal 2:21

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. -1jn 1.9
What you just wrote is your confession. Mix it with faith, and you're on your way to victory. Right now, your eyes are on yourself. Look at how many times you wrote "I, me, mine" above. You’ve excluded God's mercy and lovingkindness from the equation, and you’ve done that because you’ve projected your own very fallen understanding of those qualities onto God. When God speaks of His ways being higher than ours in Isaiah, the context is His mercy, which is perfect (Is 55).

God doesn’t want to keep you from rest. He invites you to rest:
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” -Mt 11.28-30
Having given so much for your sake, and freely, Christ is not going to abandon you now. Think about what He gave. Go watch The Passion Of The Christ a few times, and think about how He did that willingly; about how He knew He would have to do it before He even created us, but still went ahead with it "for the joy set before Him" – that is, to have us with Him. Now how on Earth would He not want you to be with Him, after having given so much?

It's actually a good sign that you were attacked by demons. It shows that your baptism was real. If it were just a game, trust me, they would have supported your playing it wholeheartedly. They would have paved your way with wine and roses. But no, they attacked. Why do you think that is? Because they knew they were in danger of losing you.

You need to be wise here. The condemnation is not coming from your Father. He will convict, yes, but He does it cleanly, without reproach (Jam 1.5). The devil is obscuring the pure conviction with his condemnation and hopelessness. That's what he does. We are not ignorant of his devices. You need to put on the full armor, claim your position in Christ, and then stand your ground. We are assured that when we do so the devil must flee (Jam 4.7).

Christ's works are completed. He sat down to rest, on the throne of power. The enemy is defeated and humiliated. You have that delegated authority. Use it, and get free of the condemnation and hopelessness, and turn to the Lord, with faith in His goodness and lovingkindness toward you, and His willingness and ability to save you.

From what you have written, you may have some work to do setting things in order. But the first and most important thing is to get right with God. Receive His mercy and grace, and take your position in Him. Then everything else will fall into place, and you'll be able to accomplish the rest in His power.

Its too late, I sold my soul by the choices I've made. The fact I don't care and I'm more worried about where I'm going to live now just shows the condition of my heart. Its non-existent. I'm the walking dead, that's why I don't sleep anymore.

I love the Lord, because he listens to my prayers for help.
He paid attention to me, so I will call to him for help as long as I live
---
The sacrifice God wants is a broken spirit.
God, you will not reject a heart that is broken and sorry for sin.
---
I don't know what you are going through. I can only share in my own experience. I roamed aimlessly, lost and hopeless until my spirit was broken and my heart crushed and then I reached out and begged for the Lord's mercy and it was granted. I suggest getting some rest even if you need to get some OTC sleep aids and take according to the instructions. After you get rest, help people...help a lot of people. Encourage people, do small things...anything. Pray for people. Soak yourself in the word and if possible with other believers. Other than that, I really don't know. I offer my continual prayers for you and I will pray in the confidence of the authority of Christ who saved a wretch like me.

My own experience was that after a horrendous church implosion I wanted nothing further to do with God, and told Him so in no uncertain terms. Subsequently I had a vision of myself dangling over a dark abyss by a single thread. It was impossible that I would not fall in, and any kind of struggle only would have hastened that outcome. I began to put my affairs in order, because I was sure I would shortly die and miss God.

But strangely, days turned to weeks and then months, and nothing happened. I began to realize that Jesus was keeping me when I could not keep myself. Hos 2.14 was given to me, and became my watchword, for every time I expected the Riot Act, I was met with lovingkindness instead. Finally, experiencing love like that, I was conquered, and willingly surrendered.

He has that same love for you. It may look completely black at this time. But keep an eye out for His mighty right hand working in your circumstances for you. It wouldn't be the first time. If you are still breathing, it is not too late.
