Christian Woman I wish I was not here on Earth

GODBELOVED
GODBELOVED

Hello I am a believer in Jesus Christ. I need prayer please for those who may read this and believe in praying to Jesus. I am having a hard time right now. I do not know why exactly I feeling this way but I wish I would go away and never reappear. It is hard to explain. I am alone in my apartment complex. There are not many people I can trust to pick up the phone right now and can be honest with about how I feel. I can not go anywhere. I have prayed crying out before my Lord and have not found relief at least not yet. There are some turmoil feellings that is making me feel very weary right now. I do not love myself much off that is credit to past sexaul verbal and physical abuse experience and abandment issues. I do think about death the thoughts come and go. God has me alive for a reason I saw that after my last suicide attempt last July after overdosing. Going through this life is hard at times and dealing with root issess harder and hardest of them all is being misunderstood by others when you share your heart. I sometimes cut myself to find relief but in the way i feel it can be soooooo intense to the point I can got really deep. I feel like an outsider at my church and in the town I am living in. I am a misfit. Please pray for the Lord to deleiver me to bring me into complete freedom.

The Lord gives us strength but people like you and I have a hard time accepting it. He is with you always, you are never alone. I too have prayed for Him to take my anxiety and depression away. He has a reason for us to be battling. You will get through this. Find at least one person you can confide in - your pastor, a friend, family, even a counselor or therapist. Don't be afraid to tell someone how you are feeling, there is always someone willing to listen. Stay strong and stay faithful.

I will pray for you God beloved. I pray that you find some peace in your mind to feel your presence in this universe with your senses. I pray that you find relief from thoughts. I pray that you can sleep if you are tired. I pray that you can reach out to someone if you have the energy.. And I pray that you can find kindness for yourself.

i am a gay person who has to stay closeted because I am getting older. and there is much hate for GLBT that has always been one reason for my depression is the rejection. I cant really be who I really am . I too am Christian I know our higher power is always close to the poor broken oppressed and downtrodden. and especially those who are afflicted with depression and other serious challenges . please don't give up . I will pray for you.. Reach out because you are so so worth it . continue to pray and ask for help The two things together will be of some great benefit . Good Samaritans is a great hotline and always willing to listen to lighten your burden. I agree to call some churches if you can they usually have some ministry for people in need. I will say prayers . I care for you. I don't even know you but want you to be well..

I'll pray for you! Do you have any psychiatrist or therapist? Ultimately God can heal you, but it doesn't mean you don't take the help available. And you still have to go through the pain, to get to the other side. I know sometimes the "medical/mental" system can be cold, but are you on any anti-depressants to get over the hump? The cutting thing is just stupid and has to stop. Surely you can think of a better "numbing" method than disfiguring your body, no? I care, and realize you are in pain, but come on. Who put this cutting idea in your head? It doesn't make you cool, AT ALL.

My prayers are with you. Hang in there because you are lived and cherished by God, and you deserve to love yourself too.

I said a prayer for you too. There are so many nice people on here that will talk with you and offer their support. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for cutting or anything else. They don't know you or your struggles. Only God does. You know what it's doing to you more than anyone else and I know you wouldn't do it if you felt you had any other alternative. People try to help in their own way and mostly don't mean any harm. I just don't want you to think this is a bad place. It's a great place to find friends and connect with people to talk to when you don't have anyone else. I'm sorry for what you're going through and for how you're feeling. God does love you, even if you don't feel His love right now. I'm a recluse and have no friends. If it weren't for God, I don't know where I'd be but I know it wouldn't be anywhere good. I'm here any time you want to talk.

You are lonely. You shouldn't feel like an outsider in your own church and since you do I think its best to find another one and join a woman's Bible Study. I to at one time felt like an outsider in my town and in my own church. I had to take a step IN FEAR to find another church but yopu m ust be wiling to take the steps. As long as you are will God will help you. Loneliness is the worst thing we can feel as humans . I live in a small town and it can get pretty lonely. Its up to me though to make the steps, " Get out of the boat" so to speak and create my own life and I know god is right here beside me while I am trying. You can't sit and wallow thats not why Jesus sacrificed so much. He did it so we can be forgiven and have life. So go get it! Its scary but you have to try.

Remember you're not a misfit to God. you are his child and all of you everything about you He loves. Don't ever forget that! Stepping out in fear in order to change your circumstances isn't easy but the rewards for a christian who does this are enormous. Just believe and step out and change your life.

I am a Christian too. No-one ever said the Christian life is a bed of roses. Look at what the Apostles went through, early century Christians went through being fed to the lions in the coliseums for sport. Think of these Christians who were coated with oil and set ablaze to light Nero's garden.

If the Christian life was strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and a cherry on top, we would be building more churches rather than prisons. God has you here for a purpose. Each life matters to Him. I took have been through much since I became a Christian. I lost my home, my job of 20 yrs., had a finger cut off and re-attached, my twin brother turned against me and cause me much heartache. My oldest son seldom sees me and my middle son was killed in a car wreck in 2005.
Through all of this, God was working behind the scenes even though I did not know it or see it at that time. Keep your faith in Him and, He will see you through these dark times. I am here if you need to talk. I am an ex-biker that's why my user name is Oldbiker. God Bless.

    DEALING WITH LOSS OF WIFE

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    My husband and I got our foster license last month, after 3 years of hard work (we had to start over multiple times due to family dramas and Mom's open heart surgery). We spent a year preparing the whole house, guest rooms, and children's bathroom for older kids of 7 yr old and up. Then we got a call that we have been approved to receive twin newborn premies. What, what?!! Babies!? Premies?!...
