So, a lot of you know of the crappy stuff I went through with my ex-wife and our divorce and everything. I was raised Pentecostal and wholeheartedly believe in prophecy. Why? Because I've seen genuine prophecy be fulfilled in people, including my own sister. Ever since I can remember I've had people speaking prophecies over me that God had big plans for me. And here I am, just a couple years away from thirty, divorced, living with my parents, and working in a factory. I can't help but feel depressed, and completely disappointed in myself. My parents have a long standing marriage with each other and I've always looked up to that. They always stuck together even when they didn't want to.

At this point in my life, I had expected prophecies over me to be fulfilled, to be happily married and a good father, and to have a career to follow in. And I have none of those. Quite the opposite. A failed marriage, three kids who I can barely keep a handle on with just 2 evenings a week and 2 weekends a month, a job that is just....bleh, and no one to really just get together with and hang out. Not to mention, no sign of God doing any huge things. Not good ones at least.

It's such a pain. When my ex and I started splitting there were things that couldn't be explained other than by the divine intervention of God, and now, no matter how many times I ask for help and guidance, some kind of companionship or just some good change to hang on to, I just get nothing but silence. I read my bible everyday, and I try to pray, but it's just getting harder and harder and harder with every passing day that my prayers go unanswered. I'm having a really difficult time with trusting God anymore, because, I'm not getting any kind of answers or help anymore, and when I do it's just the same thing. Wait. Just wait. keep waiting. I don't know how much longer I can wait. I've done nothing but wait. I just wish something could happen to give me some sign of hope. Right now, I have lost all hope.

I'm waiting for my medical insurance to kick in, and then will probably go get checked out for clinical depression, but until then...I have no clue.
 
Nothing anyone can say will help you feel better. Job and his friends proved that quite effectively. I cannot convince you of what I am certain is true, because I have lived longer. I started a new life at age 33 (after watching the old one fall apart at age 30), and another at age 39, and another at age 49. God's really good at new beginnings. Maybe the life you had before was not the one He wanted you to have?
 
You are being prayed for because God knows all about you. He sees you this very moment in time...
 
I'm praying for you my brother. I have been where you are, it's not easy. I know you are not at all happy with where you are, but let me share some insight if I may. Your 3 kids have a dad. I have 3 kids, their dad walked out on them in one day 5 yrs ago, and pretty much wants nothing to do with them. It made losing our house look like a walk in the park.It may take time to get to a doctor, time to get a better job, time to save enough to move, but right now, every time you are with your kids, you helping them cope with the present. This will strongly help their future. I have seen what my kids have missed with their dad, and the hurt is still there. I try very hard, but there's only one of me. I know it will help you to get to a doctor, it will make it easier to cope. I'm praying hard for you. Feel free to pm me anytime you need to vent. Hugs!
 
God still has his plans for you. But you have to be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Trust and have faith, for we walk by faith and not by sight.
Please, please listen to this Sermon I believe this is what God is saying to you.
Joel Osteen - Don't Fight It - YouTube. If the link does not work, go to youtube, and search for joel osteen, dont fight it. It is a sermon I think you need to hear. Please, do it .

Much love Dalisa
 
Hey there brother, i will be praying for you to have an answer to what you seek. Do not lose hope in this chapter of your life, he will always bring you out victorious through all of this.

You have a strong heart and i am sure you will soon be on the side that God has planned for you, it is often that when we feel that we are about to fall, his hand just happens to be there to pick us up on the way down.

God Bless you friend!!
