I'm always so ridiculously bored and unmotivated. Nothing interests me. Hobbies are boring. I'm a decent artist but I get so bored drawing or painting. On Saturday and Sunday, it's like I should have never even crawled out of bed. I don't know what to do when I get up... besides take a shower and eat... And eating only after I get really hungry cause I keep putting it off or need to go to the store to buy food and just don't feel like going.

I have a full time job and that keeps me busy during the week but when I'm not working... Life feels so meaningless... Everyday is the same. They always talk about a God shaped hole that can't be filled... Well I'm a Christian so why am I not being filled up? Life feels like a big long waiting line to get to heaven. Just waiting to grow old and die so you can finally feel complete, excitement, joy etc... In the mean time you just sit in your home and try to keep yourself occupied with stuff that doesn't make you happy or excited.

I want a reason to get up in the morning. Please give me one...

Get up and be happy for the simple reason God loves you. Everyday is a gift. Go to bed at night and thank God for what you have. A full time job, water to drink and take a shower, money for food. Money for the canvas and paint supplies and the gift He gave you to paint and draw. I just started to paint, and I waited because I could never draw, but someone said you might still be able to paint cause painting doesn't require being able to draw. This person was wrong. So don't waste your gift.

The best way to get over yourself is to help someone. These are not hobbies and if your making a difference in someone's life, your making a difference in your own.

God Bless you....start tomorrow.

Start asking God how He's gonna fix everyone and everything, looking for it in the bible, and begin your crusade to love friends and enemies alike.
Your sins are forgiven, past present and future, and you will be in paradise one way or another.

But the point in life is that you be subjected to whatever amount of trial necessary to teach you to absolutely hate heartbreak to the point that in paradise, you would never even consider it again. If you are not subjected to heartbreak, you cannot perceive or appreciate the absence of it.
That's why man was made to fall, so he could actually CHOOSE God and understand the choice.

Love'em all.

I'm excited about finding out how God is operating our world, and how I fit into that. I am watching to see if I can help someone learn to live. My girlfriend took in someone to help her when she got sick. She found this person was deep in alcohol, didn't know God. Now she is alive and the alcohol is gone. My friend passed away, I get to help, now. Just think, now she will live eternally, she would have died!

I am watching our church grow and see how I can help. Something terrible just happened in my life, I spent two hours on my knees in the sanctuary. Now, I know God is taking care, I have only to hang on tight as life happens.

All I can say is to watch life carefully, find out how you can fit in to help it be better. When you watch you will find places only you can fit into. I am almost blind, I'm 88, my body thinks the world is full of molasses. And I find places to fit in. At your age, there are hundreds of opportunities.

And the interesting people to get to know! I found Tom Bradford, interesting guy. Just met with the books of M Scott Peck and he led me to Malachi Martin. What ideas! I just went through the autobiography of Tolstoy. I think he and I wouldn't have gotten along very well, but his ideas do make life interesting.

scripture just came in my head thought i would share it. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. [h=3]Romans 8:28[/h]

don't you like Jesus to be the reason of getting up in the morning?
how about friends?are you introvert or something? when i get bored i watched my favorite movies over and over (mine is the effective way to kill the boredom)..or listening to my favorite music..just do whatever makes you happy..if getting to work feels like a routine,and your not happy with it anymore, i suggest find another job..there is so much good about life you know..you just have to figure it out..anyway i'll pray for you. God bless!

I don't think life was meant to be easy it can be a challenge at times, but when we have Christ with us it doesn't have to be as tough.We need to come to him with all our troubles and let him help us.I suffer from times of Depression and feel like this sometimes.There are times I really have to push myself and I pray a lot to get through these struggles.Tell yourself you are not going to let this get you down and keep praying for strength you will get through this with him.

Well.........there is sex.......there is power.......there is envy.......there is Christ.
You can chose for yourself.
Maybe you need to ask yourself - - - "What do I want"?

On Saturday and Sunday you get up and do nothing. Well here's an idea for Sunday..... go to church! You want God to fill a hole, how about read your bible, pray. That's how he fills us a lot of times through spending quality time with him...
It sounds like your doing nothing to reach out to him, it's like being really thirsty, but not getting a glass and putting water in it. Your just sitting around thinking the glass will appear with the water in it.

While your laying around being bored with all your hobbies and whining about no reason to get out of bed, there are people out there perishing... Go do the job us christians are supposed to be doing. if you don't know what that is, I suggest you crack open your Bible and figure it out.

It always baffles me when Christians say they have no reason to live or no reason to get out of bed in the morning.
