| Okay, for some reason, I have been sad, in deep thought, and jealous lately.. and I really need help. I'm normally never like that, and I was happy with Jesus for awhile, but then it just faded away, I really want it back, but I don't know what to do. I bascially think my life is worthless.... I have no idea what my purpose is or what I'm called to do, feel alone or who I am... |

WOW you just described how I felt for the first 6 months of this year.
Honestly, now that Im coming out of the other side, I fell so much better!
What Id do is, no matter how you're feeling, keep up your relationship with God, even if it seems like too much hard work. One of my friends suggested that I do something to take my mind off how Im feeling, like doing something for someone else. I started helping out at mainly music (a program for kids aged 0 - 5 where they come and have a great time singing sunday school song and stuff like hi5 and the wiggles.) I actually started feeling ALOT better because I was making others feel happy! Also, tell God exactly how you're feeling. I dont think God will mind if you blow your top. God is big enough to handle it. Just remember, all good relationships involve honesty, so be honest with God and tell Him how you're feeling! I totally know what you mean about the jealousy thing, All my friends have boyfriends, or have had one, and I still dont have one! I felt so bad, but God beagn to show me that It's better to not give your heart away too quickly...
Keep praying, even if all you say is Dear God, I thank you for this day, amen." at least you are still keeping communications open. Also, and I know it sounds cheesy, but read your Bible. I thought "But it's so boring and I dont get anything out of it!" I went and got a College Devotional bible, and started just doing the devotions and reading the related verses given on the page. It has helped my ALOT!!
Your purpose, im sorry to say, will be revealed in God's time, and yes, I know how frustrating it can be! When I was in highschool (Fifth Form - NZ, which would be a sophmore I guess...) I did a project on Jump5, and I felt like God was telling me I was gonna be in Jump5, long story short, last year Jump5 broke up, and I almost fell to pieces. then God revealed to me that I wasnt gonna be in Jump5, but I would be doing what they were doing, with my own group. so it's been 4 years, and Im still not 100% sure of what Im supposed to do, but I know deep down, God's got it under control, I just have to work on my vocals, dancing, instruments and youth ministry while Im waiting for the next step. remember, God wont ask you to do something you dont approve of, so think of what you like doing, and think of how you can use it, then ask God to show you what to do with it!
One person once told me, "To find yourself, you've first got to go back to the sorce, and that sorce is God. the more you develop your relationship with Him, the more you'll find out about yourself!
As for feeling alone, Never, and I cant stress that enough, never forget, God says He'll never leave you, nor forsake you. He will be with you through EVERYTHING! so in fact, you are NEVER alone! Isaiah 58v9 says "Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say "Here I am." "
I hope i have helped and please feel free to message me if you're worried or need someone to talk to!
Much Love! |

Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
Let it all out
'Cause you won't regret it
Lookin' back from where you have been
'Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you live

God Bless!

sometimes God has us go through a time when we struggle so that we appreciate the good times more. remember it takes both rain and sunshine to make a rainbow In order to climb a mountain you have to be in the valley keep on trusting God
