First, I'm new here..and a warning, this is a long post...guess I just need people who don't know me to help me understand this

...I'm feeling so lost, like I'm all alone. I know what the Word says but lately it has been difficult holding on to my Faith. *Yes, I am a born again Christian, 27 years of living on this earth and 16 months walking with Christ.

I've never felt this way before. . .I try to pray and read the Word only to feel myself drowning again. I used to have this close relationship with God but I think I got too comfortable at some point. I have rejection issues in the past so right now I feel like I am the worst person that I also receive rejection from the person I love most, God.

This year has been difficult. From cancer in the family, to getting no jobs and now I may be losing my home. I have added so much weight from stress eating and I feel like I'm going insane here :'( I pray and nothing. .

Well, before, I'd just drink and drug myself into the next day and believe me, I have thought about it. I wake up hating the day and dreading every minute. I thought I had this calling before but now I doubt coz how can I help others if I'm unable to use the same words to help myself..

No one around me understands. I guess I need my Christian family to help me out. Maybe if enough of us pray for me, God will answer.

Welcome to CC. :) We all go through times like this. But drugs and alcohol aren't the answer. You can't feel God's love when you're numbed up with booze.

Welcome here.

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. Please try and remember that FEELINGS are TEMPORARY, but TRUTH is eternal.
You FEEL temporarily bad. This happens because we live in a broken, fallen world. Our spirit groans for the day we can just be with Christ. That is why Paul says to live is Christ but to die is gain for him.

And Jesus IS THE TRUTH. He is eternal. Don't rely on what you feel, but instead on what you KNOW. HIM!!!

Focus on Him, spreading His Gospel, and loving others. Please try not to focus on yourself. The enemy, your flesh, and the world will beat you down if you do.

Dear Heavenly Father, please fill Your beautiful daughter with Your Presence, by renewing her mind DAILY with the washing of the Word, and let her see You in unmistakable ways. Let her know how loved she is by You, and her brothers and sisters in Your Son.
In Jesus sweet Name I pray.

"Through much trouble we enter the Kingdom of God."
Be mindful that God took the blame for his creation and extended Grace: The influence of His Spirit to help. God bless you have a good day.
Your experience is not an isolated case. Have to go to work presently, there is a study on my page about the Journey to enter into rest in God.

Amen! Thank you @PennEd. I agree, this current TEMPORARY situation has made me focus on myself a lot and the truth that I know has been fading away. I have a lot of work to do on my knees and in the Word.

Thank you. I know this to be true. It's a life I never want to go back to..I'm just weak. But the Blue ladybug bit made me smile.
