Hello, I've been mulling over my current situation in my head for a while now, and I'm entirely out of options. While I realize, given my relationship to religion (it practically being not thought of to begin with) may put me at a bit of a minor point when it comes to prayer, I do require...something.

I'm 22 and have recently been forced to leave behind a town I needed to keep my head on straight, my life, due to an argument within my family and my lack of income (which led to homelessness twice) has been teetering lately. This city, no reason I shouldn't mention it, because its the thing I, personally, believe(d?) in most is Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. I was forced to leave, and am now living at my mother's house, which is something I'm not able to adjust to.

Suffice it to say, that my mind, still in Kitchener, has been chaotic at best since last I was there, a woman I really do think I love is there, just as our relationship was beginning to sprout wings. Also my family, my real family, the people I CHOSE to surround myself with are all there. And now i'm forced to this deafening tranquillity. I don't know how to handle my blood relatives, my grandfather is here, sure, but he's gotten on in years and is far from the mentor I remembered growing up around. My mother keeps trying to maintain sanity, while my stepfather handles what is practical and necessary. All in all a functional family unit, but I feel so distant.

I love my blood family sure, but I need a way back, any way back to where I was. I belong there and I am frightened of what my mind is becoming while here.

While not christian myself, I would thank you for any effort, my mind and soul are in a rut and I have no idea how to get them out of it.

I just want to encourage you to dig into His Word. God says try Him and see if He is not good. So I sincerely hope that you try Him and see if He proves faithful...which He will. The Lord is the only one who can provide long term comfort when our lives are in turmoil. I will be praying that you try seeking Him out...Please let me know if you would like to talk more?

Heavenly Father,
life without you is a mess.

Been there.
Done that.
got plenty of t-shirts.

I lift this man to you this night.
I could ask you to fix the painful situations in his life, but that is not what you are most interested in.
You are concerned about his soul.
You created him and you love him.
You died so that he could live.

So, Father - I ask you to reveal yourself to him in a way that is so YOU, that he is unable to deny the Truth.

Bless him with Truth, Father.
In the Name of Jesus, hear me this night, Father.

Amen.

wake up. you have no reason to not be Christian. Your effort hasn't exceeded an internet forum, has it? be specific with what you've done to try to discover the faith of Christianity. Go to church.. talk about homelessness, talk about broken relationships.. you know one relationship that can't be broken? The Cross and Jesus's sacrifice. That is all you need. You say your moms house isn't for you.. go get in a church group of some sort. i am about to. i hope.. pray for me! and im praying for you.

@TexasGirl06 AMEN.

Lord Jesus, I pray that you would help this young man to find his way back to his home town. He is struggling where he is because he does not belong there. His true love waits for him back home. And dear Lord, please help him to see that his true hometown is Heaven and that Jesus has the soul-quenching love he is looking for. Make Yourself real to him I pray. Simply overpower him with Your love and presence. May he find in You everything he is truly looking for and everything he really needs.

In Your Holy Name. Amen.

Father I pray blessings on this request , guidance, and that your light would dispel all darkness in Jesus name I pray.

Father I also pray in the name of Jesus for the proper spiritual light and energies to burn brightly in the hearts of all who reads this post and that they may carry these energies to the church of their choice and out in the world to be a blessing to humanity!

I'm about to give you some advice that may seem out of the ordinary but I promise it works. Without getting into a long biography I'll tell you that I just got back into the call of Christ less than 3 months ago with my eyes opened to a new found understanding that I never had before and in saying that I mean things are so much clearer it's pitiful. In saying that I'll tell you this. My life was not the way I wanted and I was not where I wanted to be much like yourself when I became awake. Now for the revelation. When God said the last will become first what he also meant for that was when you truly forget about yourself, when you come to realize that the word "I" doesn't exist in your vocabulary. When you stop doing and thinking for and about yourself. When you are inconsequential then not only will things look up for you but everything will be good for you. It will be like everything will be in your favor. I promise it really is the last will be first and when you give it will be given to you pressed down shaken and running over. And I down mean give and expect to get in return. I mean give because everyone is more important than you. Like I said my advice isn't favorable but it is the truth my friend. If you stop thinking about your circumstances not only go away but they get better. I'm praying for you.
