Feeling lost with God

I have been feeling really low these past few days. I thought God was blessing me with a relationship. It has been something on my heart for years. From past experiences I was pretty skeptical, because I can't see God in my life. I keep guessing where God is and seem to be wrong. I formed a bond with a guy who I later found out that we both have feelings for each other, that was great news. We were in constant contact with each other, we had so many laughs. But I kept fighting the skepticism and doubt, and kept myself open to possiilities; keeping hope alive. After some conversations, I realized that we are in two separate periods in life that it wouldn't work; he agreed. Now I may very well lose the friendship/ bond that we had before, since I am finding now there isn't much contact.

Its not so much the guy itself that hurts, but what this means. It feels defeating that once again believe God is blessing me and I praised Him, thanked Him. Then just to have it slipped through my fingers. It leaves me broken hearted (not because of the guy, but broken hearted with God). I don't feel God's Love. I feel like I am constantly tricked and played with. Believing that maybe this is God when no, no its not. I've been single for a long time, and I was open to the possibility with this guy, now I feel like I fool that I put hope in the first place. It keeps me doubting God's Love and where He is in my life.

Sorry for the large rant. I'm not sure what you can even pray for. Maybe healing of my heart? For God to show me His Love, or maybe I am just missing it? I'm feeling really lost here. I don't want have to keep fighting cynicism when things seem to be going well.

your placing your hope in the wrong thing.

you probably don't want to hear what I have to say. I'm in a cynical mood myself right now, but I'll try to be kind about it and I do speak because I would rather you find what TRUE love is than place your hopes on idols of your mind and imagination.

Its not a relationship with a man you should seek first but a relationship with God. You have to first learn to be happy alone with just you and God before you can truly build a relationship with another person.

God taught me what it means to really love another unconditionally.

It meant even if they left and even if we did not continue in a romantic relationship, I still wanted to see them happy and succeed in life.

I didin't look to fill the empty place in my heart with a man but had Christ to comfort me and His promise that if He willed it He would bring the man who was meant to be my husband in my life but to learn Patience and to learn to wait on God's timing instead of demanding it to be my way. I learned how to accept God's way.

Sometimes YOU may feel ready, but perhaps the man God intends for you to be with is not done growing enough to engage in a mature life long relationship with you yet.

just a thought.

there is more types of love than romantic type. I love my friends and my family and my children. I love God because He first loved me and showed me what it truly means to love others. To forgive and give grace.

ask yourself WHY do you pray for a relationship with anyone but Jesus? why do you place so much hope in a man and not so much trust in God and His will and His timing for your life?

When I was in the whole dating thing, i felt stupid more often than not for making the mistake of thinking this might be the guy and finding out he was not, but I did learn a lot from them and how others think and feel. I learned to communicate. I learned to rely on God and not them for comfort and love, so that when I meet my husband I was more balanced and did not worship him but GOD.

ever hear the song with the verses "I can't breathe without you" ?

I don't that should be sung to another human. No one should have that kind of devotion except God. too often people worship others instead of God. sometimes God uses our heartbreaks as lessons to show us that our hearts and minds are not focused on HIM as they should be.

I pray that God leads you and comforts you and give you His neverending peace and Joy.

Thank you for your post and prayer . I think I should explain a bit further I guess I what makes it harder, is that I've been single now for 6 years. I feel that I am not rushing into something just to find a man, but that it is a genuine desire of my heart for years now, and can't comprehend why I still am single, because I feel that I have a lot to give a relationship.

My main issue though, is with seeing God in my life and feeling His Love when things like these happen. I don't want my heart to become hardened for believing something was from God, then have it taken away as soon as I start to believe that it was. I am suppose to go to God first and seek His Love. I do go to Him, but I don't feel it. I am not sure what it even is suppose to feel like. I just feel empty and silence when I do.

We live in a world that is controlled by entities whose sole and singular purpose is to make us doubt God. So they dangle carrots in front of us tempting 'this way this way' and then yank it out of our reach once we're convinced that's the way. Then we question and ponder and doubt and wonder how we can ever trust anything again because of the repeated failures, including our relationship with Him.

We need to discern the difference between what is Godly, what is evil, and what is just plain human.

What is Godly is understanding that whatever else happens, He truly does exist and loves us. No person place or thing should ever be allowed to turn us from this. Even if what we thought was a blessing from Him goes bad, it does not change the fact that He exists. Test relationships and things by whether they glorify the Godly or detract us from it.

What is evil is a 'ruling class' in this world that, as I said before, can and will do anything it can to sour what is Godly. Including false blessings, and thwarting real ones. Again, test relationships and things by whether they glorify the Godly or detract us from it.

What is human is to be stuck in the middle between the two trying to decypher that which we see thru a glass darkly at this point. To be born of a spirit that wants to seek God and a flesh that wants to do pretty much everything but. To be called by the Lord and tugged at by the darkies. To be given impossible odds, and the grace to be forgiven when we bet wrong.

Again, test relationships and things by whether they glorify God or detract us from Him. And never let ANYTHING get in a position to cast doubt on His existence.

Father thank you for sending herthe right person for her and let her joy be full
in Jesus name amen

Father give your child wisdom and direction,
give her the peace that surpasses understanding.
In Jesus Name, Amen

Psalm 37:4
Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Praying for you in Jesus name.

the bible says my people fail for lack of knowledge. It would have been better if you knew before hand right. But you didn't and that's okay. it happens. Don't be so hard on yourself. If the situation presented itself , it will present itself again. It just so happens God has heard your prayer and has decided to plant you but in a place where it will grow. Amen. The bible says time and chance happen to them all. It just so happens God wants you to have all good things. And all good things will come to pass for you. At the right time a, on a mysterious day and in a surprising way. God cares about your feelings, your love life and your path in life. He will not forsake his leading in you.

I pray That God will show you his love for you more and more and more. In Jesus name amen.

He knows where you are, even if you can't see / feel Him

I love love Ariel's response! Remember that God has a plan for your life and the person that he has chosen for you is not ready yet. Continue to pray and trust your heart and life to God and he will not fail you.
It is so heartbreaking when you lose a relationship with someone who you loved with all your heart but God is mightier then even the pain you are feeling and he can heal you. It just takes time.

I pray Lord that you will be first in Arwens life and that she will learn to trust you no matter what obstacles she is facing in life. Let her be content with what you are providing for her now and may she know that You have her best interests in mind but work all things out in your time. Please give her peace and blessed assurance that you will not leave her nor forsake her. I ask all these things in the name of Jesus.

God Bless.

Here is something our God wants you to read honey. I wrote a whole bunch of other stuff when the thought to close it all out came over me. Then I knew what to do and its to give these messages to you from our Lord.

Psalms Chapter 139
1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.

21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?

22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Love, Your DadAlmighty God

Our God has his eyes on you sweetie and he is with you always every step of the way and day. Do not buy into the devils lies that you are alone. If you seek Him with everything inside of you you will find Him, you know why? Because it is His promise to Us, His Children. He loves you very very very much Arwen.

I will pray. I was wondering, if you both like each other, why can't the two of you be together?

Just wanted to clarify, I did not love him. It was the beginning of what would be a potential relationship. But the issue here is not about the guy but with God. Its not just about relationships but other things too, I am trying to figure out where God is in my life. God knows the desires of my heart, I know that. It's hard when you think that God might be finally be blessing you, just to find out that it was all in my head. Its about hope thats the issue, hope instead of doubting.


We were in two separate stages in life, he trying to figure things out and not ready to focus on relationship. And me being able to. It was a good thing that I realized this now before we got any closer. But again, the issue is not about the guy but with God.

I am very grateful for your prayers. Thank you

God HAS blessed you. Not with what you thought you wanted, maybe, but I have no doubt whatsoever that God has blessed you somehow in your life. To be hung up on one thing, to have a "good standing" with God be dependent on having this one desire...

I would very strongly recommend thanking God for every single thing you can think of right now. You have more than you realize. He has given, and perhaps He has taken away. But, regardless of how you feel, He does love you. And He wants the best for you... which only He can see right now. He also jealously desires your attention. I know you said that you do go to Him, but... it sounds like you don't really want to? Start thanking Him for what you do have, and I have little doubt that you'll feel better about your current situation.

Sorry if I sound mean. I really am not trying to.

Hopefully this works. lol

thanks wwdj!!!! you are awesome!!!! w00tw00t I did it!! hehehe
