I sort of understand your point. But it tends to still rely on thought alone and no activity or use of me other than giving to charity etc. There doesn't seem to be much for anyone to do outside of large towns and cities.
Boredom, temptation and too weak to fight.

That's simple in word. But I'm 33 nearly broke, living at home in a village town in wales. Still single, always, no signs of improvement, little to do, see, hear. Others must have similar issues but have something to do maybe? If I'm not used for any good, what's the point in me being a Christian except for myself.
Maybe should learn to read. I said I work full-time days. But your obviously a loud mouth troller who doesn't.
Sorry, I gave the impression to you that's all I do. I do more but I was generalising about my position. I game and so on, when I'm bored of looking for the use of my gifts and find little or nothing.
Sorry, I didn't mention I worked earlier, not that it should matter in regard to the way you message. Also I game etc because there is little in a little welsh town full of happily unemployed drug smoking drunk steroid taking or woman hunting loud violent males. Or just others who stay indoors.
Hi Dai, I was just wondering if you've told God about everything? Totally surrendering it all to Him.
He's the one who knows exactly where you're at in your mind, your environment, your church etc.
No friends? How about fixing stuff around the house, painting, plumbing or vacuuming, dusting or laundry. Maybe cooking, baking?
Have you spoken to your pastor or friends at church about it? Have you reached out to anyone in your church to befriend them?
I don't know if you have malls there, but I walk in the mall for exercise. Are there boys/girls clubs you can volunteer at. Or big brothers/big sisters? There must be something your pastor could recommend you do. Maybe do some work in the grounds around the church or at home.
Put up a basketball hoop in your driveway and throw some baskets. By a bicycle and bike around. Do you have some type of community center that includes a gym? Or can you afford membership at a gym?
Also, there are good bible studies you can do online. The more God's word transforms your mind, the more victory you'll have over your boring life and the besetting sins you find yourself doing. I can recommend a great bible study online if you're interested.
Maybe you need to return to your first love? Remember the joy you had when you were first born-again? The zeal? The love? The desire for the things of God?
Your attitude about all this is really crappy, ya know that? People have given you advice, and you poo on each one. Why would visiting nursing homes or people in hospital get you arrested? That's silly. Go do something for your neighbors. Cut grass, plow their yards, whatever. And ask God to show you what your gifts are. I guarantee you'll never find them if you sit on your duff groaning at your extreme boredom.
Sorry if my attitude is crappy, but when I put a couple of sentences in any post, people keep assuming lots of things and basically say get off my backside and do things even though the things they say to do are not available. I shouldn't have to write my life story every time I post just to get people to answer sensibly.
And about being arrested. You get arrested as you will not have permission because they are not your relatives etc. Even grandparents playing with grandchildren in a park have had police called on them thinking their a peodo. That's Britain. A craphole of nonsense. And I'm at work now, so not going to volunteer or go to church. Everyone here keeps telling people they should think of others but don't recognise the world the other person lives in, Assuming they are in a similar society life position, eg, an easy going American Christian neighbourhood. That's not the case for most people. But people assume from their deluded bubbles anyway. That's why so many people are shocked by BREXIT or trump. They live in limited delusional worlds of enclosed lives. But still tell everyone their right.
Hmmm.. Okay, so obviously things are different in your country than they are here in the U.S. And to be fair, your OP did make it sound like all you do is lay around and smoke and play games. Anyhoo, do you have any other hobbies you enjoy? Maybe like gardening, or working on vehicles, photography, etc?
At the moment god let me cut up and spray a guitar etc. But I have done lots of things like that. But only for myself as there is no1 around. It something to do for a few weeks but I can't keep building stuff, I live at home. I'll probably try practising a bit of guitar if it works afterwards. But no1s listening except me and God. I'm no singer or guitarist.
