I would really like you to pray for me and maybe help aswell.

There are a couple things. I often find I want to be on my own and left alone and I just don't want to talk to people,. (except my husband and sons,.) I might spend time with a friend, then after 2 hours I am tired out and just want to come home, to recouperate from all the talking and socializing.

Social gatherings are the same, all the different personalities and emotions, I just find it too much. Is this because I am not strong enough in Christ. I just seem to be easily influenced or I absorb others emotions, usually it is negative ones. Start off going out joyful and return home feeling bland.

Please pray for me

I will be praying for you. I pray the Lord will give you strenghth.
Maybe Philippians 4:13 will help you.
"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

 

[justin1979]

I identify so personally with the emotions and results of social situations you described. All that you wrote I've experienced and have wondered about myself. You are definitely not alone.

Lord, please guide calluna to the understandings and experiences of fellowship that you have in mind for her. I pray for her will to be layed down and molded into your perfect will. I praise you for the work you carry out through her, in solitude and among others. Lord, please guide her emotions and responses to others, that you are effectively portrayed through her. I ask this in your son's name, amen.

Lord guide, bless and hold Heather safe.

"If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31).

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 (KJV).

A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out. (Matthew 12:20).

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Mt. 11:28-30).

I will be with you when you go through deep waters (Isaiah 43:2)

Blessings to you Heather.

Thank you all for your prayers and help. Today I was reading Joyce Meyers book Battlefield of the mind and was lead by the Lord to read the following
John14:16 And I will ask the Father and he will give you another counselor to be with you forever.
and Deut:30:11 For this commandment which I command you this day is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off.

Things get hard when we are trying to do them independently without leaning on and relying on God's grace. If everything in life were easy, we would not even need the power of the Holy Spirit to help us. The Bible refers to Him as 'the Helper" He is in us and with us all the time to help us, to enable us to do what we cannot do - and, I might add to do with ease what would be hard without Him. - Joyce Meyer .

This really spoke to me. I need to lean on the Holy Spirit to help me daily ALL the time, in ALL things. He is in me...Allelujah! And with me all the time to help me FOREVER. Praise God, thank you Jesus.

Peace and Love
Heather

God bless you sister. That book by Joyce Meyers is good. I read the first half (almost) and it was very motivating.

One thing to do when dealing with tough people is see them as Jesus would (and does). In pure Heavenly love. Not easy, but easier when you think of how He looks at each individual then to forget this truth.

God bless you. In my prayers
