Can you imagine what it is to live alone?

I don't mean live in your house or apt alone, I mean live completely alone in life without the companionship, support or comfort of friends and family.

Can you imagine what it is to not be someone's mother, father, sister, brother, uncle, aunt, cousin, niece, nephew, extended family member or friend?

Can you imagine what it is to solely depend on the internet for interacting with others, going days sometimes weeks without seeing another individual or receiving a personal phone call, someone to just say hi, how are you?

Can you imagine having absolutely NO ONE to turn to in a time of crisis and despair?

Can you really imagine helping individuals during their time of need, only to have them shun you, not return phone calls, or hurry you off the phone?

Well this is my daily existence, and has been for many many years. I'm used to it, it really doesn't bother me too much, but times like now, when I'm facing the hardest time of my life, I need someone.

Before you say Jesus, I already know I have Jesus. Had it not been for Jesus, I don't think I would have continued on as I have, accepting and making the best of my life despite the lack of support; for I know there is always hope in Him.

But no man is an island, yet I find myself as if on an island where there's nothing but a vast view of nothingness ahead.

I found this forum this morning, because I was in search of answers to a dreaded question I care not to mention. I've since re-thought the process, and decided that maybe there is still a way out of my dilemma. But this morning, was a place in my mind I'd never been and it was very scary, yet at the same time peaceful.

The enemy has a way of playing tricks on your mind in isolation. He will make you believe you're worthless, and of no account. He'd convinced me of that before I found this forum this morning.

I really don't know what I'm going to do to overcome this situation, maybe that's where God wants me, to stop trying to figure it out and let Him do His job. For this is truly a Job for God.

In any event, I solicit your prayers of intercession as I move further into this season of uncertainty, and sheer helplessness, fully knowing I can depend on Jesus, but it's always nice to have a HUMAN tell you it's going to be alright, even if they don't really know the outcome.

Please pray for my peace, well-being, and sanity.

God bless

Father I pray that You will give this sister Your peace that passes all understanding and I pray that You will help her to understand Your Word and to know that You are in control. You supply all our needs according to Your glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Help her to keep her focus on You and not on her circumstances, but to lean fully on You as in Prov.3.5-6. In Jesus' name amen.
 
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He guards all his bones; not one of them is broken." (Psalm 34:19)

I will be praying for you.
Feel free to pm me

Beautiful Sisters in Christ, indeed are the both of you

Psalm 34:19 along with Isa 40:31 and a plethera of other "Standing" scriptures are my standard bearers and believe me when I say, I trust in God Prov 3:5-7

I continue to give Him

Thank you rizen1, I'm at a crossroads and don't know which way to turn.

Please pray I make the right decisions

Yes I will keep you in prayer.
That the Lord will give you discernment.
 
As you make decisions, if there is peace - know that's the right choice. Don't second guess yourself that's what the enemy wants you to do to keep you confused. Ask God to surround you with new friends from Him that you can communicate both thru email and phone calls.

I've been where you are, God moved me over 700 miles from my family and friends only to give me more of Him, myself and new friends chosen by Him!

Your in my prayers!
 
Hey.

Just saw your post - and I put out a prayer to The Lord to keep you safe and to give you the strength you need to get you through the tough times.

If you need a friend to talk to, please do not hesitate to PM me.

God Bless!
 
hi praize :heart-animated:

Im sooo happy for you finding your entry here at talkjesus this morning :butterfly:

It makes my heart jump when I see God moving in peoples lifes and I dont know what you were thinking right before you signed up here . . .but Im sure happy for you to meet all of us and im sure happy for all of us to get to know you

Just yesterday I sat together with some friends from church and this lady next to me was very frustrated . . .and we were discussing why people are not willing to accept Gods help in their lifes . ..

and the 5 points in the book were not meaningful enough to her . .she said:

My point is not in there.. . all of these do not fit me!!!

So we tried to figure out what was missing . . .and she said that she is missing the question:

Why is God allowing ALL THIS to happen?

Well we didnt know what ALL THIS meant but she began to tell us about her job, about the problems she should leave there and she takes them home and makes them to be her own problem (she is a doctor by the way) and then she said, that she is alone and cant talk to anyone about that . . .not at work . . .not at home .. .not anywhere with anyone!!!

We discovered together that she is alone . . .and feels so unworthy because of it. . .but she knew it the whole time . . .just had to hear it from another human being! Just like you said!!!

There are many singles who God has such special plans in life for, sometimes its a partner, sometimes its not!

But . . .whatever His plan is for your life. . .He means the best for you . . .Your just not willing to see it that way . . .You would like to pray to see your wishes fullfilled . . . God doesnt work like this . . .He would like to answer your prayers to support you all the way through trouble till His plan in your life happens.. no matter how long that takes .. .

Cause we are really good in knowing what would be best for us . . .but we dont know what God has in store for us . . .and how He would like to use us in His great plan for our lifes. .

I wanna encourage you to think about what is your wish and whats His will happening right now with you?

Maybe you know the answers ...maybe you dont . ..but if your willing to search, here or with friends or a local church near by or further away .. .You will be blessed!

God has never forsaken His own people .. .He just didnt jump when they asked Him to :wink:

Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and you shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened to you.
For whoever asks, receives;
and he who seeks, finds;
and to him who knocks, the door is opened.


matthew 7:7:8 - jesus of nazareth
