Why keep breathing?

[appointed]

I just don't understand everyone. I've looked at some of the other topics, such as what God thinks of me, and things to do physically that will keep hopes up. These are all good things, but the fact is... I'm not hopeful. I don't look forward to anything anymore, not vacations, holidays, or friends and family. I'm sick of dealing with everything and it doesn't seem to be getting better. I feel like I'm a black hole, touch anything that I'm even related to and you'll be cursed. Everyone looks at me with bitterness, and laughs at me behind their back. Why do I feel so hopeless, even with knowing God. It seems that life is just a waiting period of random and horrible events.

Now excuse me, I have to go and do work- for no apparent reason.
This is in preparation for the day tomorrow, which I will not remember in 5 years.

I would be lying if I said I didn't know what you are going through. I have been there as recent as a few days ago. But God saved me from my troubles by teaching me the following things.

-I can do NOTHING without God. Period.
-God will not listen to me, nor will he forgive me unless I forgive others (think and go through your mind to see if you have any bitterness towards anyone. I urge you to forgive with your heart and declare it to God)
-My suffering is for the ultimate glorifying (I don't think I'll ever be able to spell that) of The Lord Jesus Christ. Many think that we suffer to gloryfy God to satisfy Gods pride. May it never be! Remember pride is sin and it is of Satan. God wants to to carry the cross and suffer so that you can be a testament to those who are suffering with you or with people who do not believe so that people can recieve hope and faith.

God has a plan for you. The more you suffer the bigger and bigger the glory waiting for you in the kingdom of God increases.

Meanwhile, hold on. Like I suggested before, really analyze your mind and find out if you have any bitterness towards anyone and then forgive them.

Try and find someone who is suffering with you and help them out. No matter how near or far to you they are. This forum is a great place to start.

I don't know what I will end up doing and now that I think about it, it's not such a bad thing now that I've left it completely in God's hands. Now all of a sudden I feel something about to happen. Give God complete control and eagerly wait your deliverance.

God will deliver you soon.

one day at a time isn't always easy. we who get too thoughful and depressed or have habits that are taxing; we need to focus on one day at a time. sometimes to stay in the current moment. practice... practice refocusing. practice thinking and dwelling on what is praiseworthy...

Philippians 4
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

God tells us that if we lack wisdom in something, He will help us. and scripture tells us over and over wonderful things. one is that our troubles shape us. we don't lose God's love and mercy.

James 1
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

i'm sorry you feel so alone. i certainly must practice this myself, everyday. and i'm very popular. this place isn't our home... i think we will always be restless. i feel alone except for God's love and knowing that many of my christian brother and sisters struggle too... someady we will be reunited with our Father and all of the walls between us will come down. we will live in love and peace.

fill up your heart with God's promises to strengthen your armor. we will all stick together and everything will be ok.

Ya, seems like life is a series of downnotes? ya im use to it, but as to what might be wrong, if you feel that everyone thinks down of you etc, you probley suffer from a disorder or 2 might want to check your self in a mental hospital for a break and to get some meds/help.

and if you say you already did this and its hopeless, then do it agian. If it is all just hopeless what is one more time hurt?

Hey.

What's happening?

 

[Hidden face_Hurting heart]

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you can talk to me, pm me, e-mail me, whatever- just to lament or vent or discuss anything that's on your mind. I know the whole "bored with life, it's too painful, why even go on anymore" feeling very, very well- since I was about 10 or 11 actually. I don't know what's going on in your life, but I'm here if you want to talk.

Appointed, I have struggled with rejection most of my life starting back in grade school (ADHD kid). Life IS hard and seems meaningless at times. Sometimes I come to CF hurtin' and come in swinging. If I blow off some steam and then look for those I can try to encourage I usually...well...came in like a lion and go out like a lamb.

Try finding threads where there are those hurting more than yourself...ya I know, it sound tough but it can be done, I know, I won't go into detail as to what my life load is like but I asure you that I can relate...all too well.

Most (not all unfortunately) most ppl will try to understand, love and encourage you...BUT...you have to let them if you want God to use them in your life.

WE LOVE YOU

MERRY CHRISTMAS
