There is hope, but I can't find it right now. There is a way on how to strengthen hope, yet I can't seem to grasp the words. I pray... I don't want to move on anymore.. I'm exhausted, I've lost motivation, is there such a thing as living your dream? I don't know what I'm saying. I guess I just want to speak out, because I've no one to talk to. No one, whom I could tell this to. I'm just alone. Sitting infront of my computer, watching on youtube so that I could run from a pain that would eventually come back quickly... I want to be happy. I want to smile. I want to enjoy life. I'm doing my best to live life responsibly but it's difficulty. I'm tired. I'm losing academically. I'm losing myself. I'm not even doing what I want in life. What am I saying. I'm even facing failure. I don't even believe on myself anymore. I study hard so that I could help my parents by getting a good job, yet I'm being left behind now. I'm left behind. I've lost my confidence. I'm doing this for my parents, even if I don't like it. If I like what I'm doing then I could fight through the hardship with no regret. With improvements each time. With hope. With progress.. I'm not growing, I'm just stuck in the middle. I'm nothing. I wish hours move slowly, I want to rest, I don't want to go to school anymore. I'm enthusiastic about anything there. I'm not doing anything right as of the moment. I don't even care of the results. I just want the day to end as quickly as possible so I can just rest, watch a movie.... I'm not motivated to live. I'm 24, and I still havn't found my path in life... I wish I could be good at something... I'm sorry I didn't follow the format. I just type continously cause I'm tired, just so tired of living as of this point.

My friend, Jesus is always found in the midst of fiery trials. It is only when we come to the end of ourselves that He is free to move and if we are listening, if we are sensitive He will guide us into the perfect center of His will for our lives.
I may sound like a broken record telling you the same thing but He works all things for the good and has not forgotten you.
If we look at our troubles they may seem large and overwhelming. As we look up; as we mount up on eagles wings amd rise to the heavens in faith we get a better perspective. What looks like a mountain in front of us is only a little bump from a heavenly point of view.
I genuinely feel that God is teaching you something through all of this; when we are weak He is so very strong. When we have no way He makes a way. When our situation seems hopeless His hand brings life.
If you go through all of this and come away with an understanding of how good and faithful He really is then you have grown greatly and this time of stress is more than worth it.
I am believing for great things in you live Nico. God has a plan and a purpose for you.
1Pe 1:6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Many blessings and much love in Jesus Name,
your brother Larry.

There is one certainty in life. And that is God's word. My signature line is a Proverb, "Every word of God is pure." That doesn't just mean that it is true, but that it is appropriate and timely, and should not/could not be otherwise. That word (which is the man/God Jesus Christ) is a shield to all that put their trust in him. My prayer is that God opens an understanding of himself, of his worthiness, of his steadfastness, and of his holiness in the eyes of your understanding that cannot be shattered or taken away. I have been through all you are talking about, the feelings of inadequacy in trying to live up to others expectations. The feelings of failure in finding no joy in anything I set to do. Rest assured that God has a place for you and you will find it. Sometimes we just seem to wade though lots of garbage first. Keep the faith and God bless you in your trials....

Help me to understand?
Hello nico-san,
Does you Conscious cry out for the ways of God? Have you cried out to him? Have you shed tears that only a loving God can respond to? That only he can hear? God hears us in our deepest cry nico-san. And when we cry, not out of self, not any darkness can extinguish the reply that comes from God almighty. He is not almighty just because I say so But because He Is! He will respond to you my friend. No one on earth can keep this from happening if you cry out to God.
You can cry these words in prayer my friend if your really real for reality from God to help you.
"Dear God in heaven I have no purpose in my life. I have no hope. I have nothing. Please God will you take the time with me to show me who you are. I am open to you to reveal yourself to me. Please I asks this in the name of your Son Jesus who died for me to have this chance to talk to you. I am open to the name of Jesus. Please Jesus I call on you. I call on you as Lord. Please Jesus show me. Dear Father I pray this in the name of your Son Jesus. Amen."
Then nico-san the greatest Muscle in the business God himself will show you things and open doors for you that no one can shut.

hi nico,
thanks for sharing with us here.... hope and pray you will recover soon.

if i have to rate my work (my thesis i mean) that time, i know i should not graduate but have to repeat... my teachers got soooo disappointed of me because they expected me to be the best performing, be the first to present yet failed and become the veryyyyyyyyy last... yay!! the bet of the class became the tail.. LOL!!! (just imagine how your classmates looked at you with that???:wink
i just humbled myself and encouraged it too.. lol.. cause those times I felt sooooooo alone... i didn't told about it to my parents nor to my brothers and sisters in the church...
I just said to the Lord "Lord! even if i will not graduate.. I know you can still bless me!!!)... yay... I got strengthened in my being as i proclaim it everyday!!!:shade:
We'll be marching 13th of March that year; yet it's been mid-February still haven't finish my paper yet.. lol.. then the whole batch went for picture taking already for graduation photo.. yay..
by faith, i made a poise.. lol
God's grace, i graduated that year it's because i didn't give up... praise the Lord... to Him be glory!!
just continue to do what you can still do Bro then leave it to the Lord the things you can't these times...
Be encouraged... Be strengthened... Do not be dismayed...
God has still a lot of things in store for you...
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
God bless!!!

Everyone, thank you for caring and for your prayers...
Hi everyone,
Sorry I haven't returned a reply sooner. But I have come across your posts and have been pondering about everything you wrote. But I still flunked because of my selfishness.
This past days were bad, I haven't attended church for the past 3 Sundays. It has been ups but more of downs. I've been reading the Bible along the way, but that wasn't sufficient. It's because I forgot about worship and isolated myself from people, Christians, church.
I'm just so caught up with every failure that's happening in my life right now. From being left behind in academics then being insulted by my group member, from not getting what I want in life.
It's difficult working with immature people. Sigh. There I said it. Well I can't do anything, I continued college in this generation and now I'm working with 18 year olds by average. I'm kind of getting confused of how old I am already. What's the point? This member of mine told me, Wednesday last week, "Duh, weren't you listening? That was discussed last meeting?". That hit a nerve and I almost went berserk. That night I worked real hard for the exam that I extended studying until 1am. I don't want to hear such, specially for a person who knows what I'm going through. Sigh.
Well, what happened next was worse. I gm the entire group that afternoon and expressed my absolute anger. I used bad words to express the anger I got accumulated inside. I know I should have just called the person and talked it out with him, but I'm not used to doing that... well too late for that. Maybe your gonna say, I'm more immature... well yes I understand. I made a mistake.
Actually Rei, I'm almost in same situation as you were before. Because I'm expected to be one of those people ahead of the pack. But here I am, still not done with the task.
So were am I now? Here in front of the computer of course. Haha. Sigh. Well, God is good. Even it's been more disappointments than ups His grace is present, always. Can you pray for me? I want to stick with Jesus continuously from now one and really really live up to what Jesus expects from Christians now matter what... As of now, well, I really don't care about the results of my grades, I just got tired. Haha... well not that I'm not going to be responsible, but my statement is, I'll do my best, what ever God permits me to do. Is this right, everyone?
Yes, I'm still blessed. Because I'm still alive. I'm eating good food. Living in a good home with a complete family members. I've got college education and a shot for a bright future. I should be thankful and make use of this graces to spread God's goodness, right? I'm someone special in God's eyes even if others are already ahead of me... I'm special in God's eyes in my own way... right? I shouldn't be envious... I should just mind my own, do my best and be thankful for whatever God has given me... I should be happy and thankful to God! Still I'm blessed...
I want to thank everyone for their prayers because our Final Defense was moved until the first week of January. God is great, he made way when there was none. How great is our God! So now I have more time to work on the thesis over vacation.
Can you pray for me please? I've messed up this past weeks. Disappointed and hurt people, friends, family members. Please pray that they forgive me when I ask for their forgiveness. Also, I wish to really grow and be strong Christians like you and be always positive despite of the dark moments in life...
I thank you everyone, for your time listening and in giving advice and most of all for caring for a stranger like me. Thank you everyone and God Bless you all...

Not Hopeless
Troy a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I think the key word here is hope. So that`s what I`m going to address.
1.Faith in God; Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, And the integrity of thy ways thy hope?
Job 4:6 (ASV)
2.Your not the first or the last; My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And are spent without hope.
Job 7:6 (ASV)
3.Rerentance is in the beginning of Hope; And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety
Job 11:18 (ASV)
4.Finding the right words; For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
Psalms 38:15 (ASV)
5.Where are the right words; My soul fainteth for thy salvation; But I hope in thy word.
Psalms 119:81 (ASV)
6.Virtues and vice are sometimes intermingled with each other;
A.Hope deferred maketh the heart sick; But when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Prov 13:12 (ASV)
B.For surely there is a reward; And thy hope shall not be cut off.
Prov 23:18 (ASV)
C.So shalt thou know wisdom to be unto thy soul; If thou hast found it, then shall there be a reward, And thy hope shall not be cut off.
Prov 24:14 (ASV)
7.Where Hope is found; O Jehovah, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be put to shame. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
Jer 17:13 (ASV)
8.Be patient;
A.It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.
Lam 3:26 (ASV)
B.But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Romans 8:25 (ASV)
C.rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing stedfastly in prayer;
Romans 12:12 (ASV)
D.For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.
Romans 15:4 (ASV)
E. For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness
Gal 5:5 (ASV)
9.Your strength will return;
A.Turn you to the stronghold, ye prisoners of hope: even to-day do I declare that I will render double unto thee
Zech 9:12 (ASV)
B.There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. 7 But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Eph 4:4-7 (ASV)
1.This is the sermon upon all our heart`s, through THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of glorying? Are not even ye, before our Lord Jesus at his coming? 20 For ye are our glory and our joy.
1 Thess 2:19-20 (ASV)
I`ve try to pen the idea of hope, as your post was titled "Hopeless", your not, just off the path one might say, as you said to coin the phrase. You`ll find Him back in your life ,but you`ll first have to realize that He`s never left. He`s the Hope, the conviction the desire to be closer to God, He emcompasses all this . We`ll pray for you. Your not hopeless, your a child of the Most High Almighty God.
Amen

Hopless, Here is the truth about your hope that you seek:
Peace and Joy
Romans 5: 1-5
1Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we<SUP>a</SUP> have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we<SUP>b</SUP> rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3Not only so, but we<SUP>c</SUP> also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
Colossians 1:5-6
5the faith and love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already heard about in the word of truth, the gospel 6that has come to you.
Colossians 1:27
27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
My friend what you make of life is mainly up to you and how you allow Christ to work through you. Your hope can not be foundfrom this world, your hope is in Jesus Christ and your future perfection (glory) in heaven.
You must be "born-again" after which, look up whence your hope comes from!
