This Can't Be Life...

[mysavior_jesus]

For the past week I've been feeling really hopeless about life. It seems like everything I've been doing over the past few years has been a failure. Nothing ever goes right for me. I thought my life was perfect, but it seems like the devils is everywhere and always holds me back. I'm at a point where it seems as if all the good things I have ever done are overshadowed by all the bad things I've done. I really feel like there is nothing I can do and being here is pointless. I really hate to put my family through pain...I want to change everything so bad, but nothing I do ever makes anything better. I have simply lost my will to do everything I always hoped of accomplishing. I just sit around and mope and feel sorry for myself everyday of my miserable life. I really dont have a will to want to live anymore or feel I even deserve to breathe. It saddens me to feel this way and think the thoughts I think, but I just figure my problems arent going to get any better.

What are the problems, and what have you been doing to make things better, but feel that you failed at doing so?

Hello mysavior_jesus.

Life can be a bag of Sh!T from time to time. You are a newborn Christian; please go easy on yourself. Perfectionism can cause much distress in one’s life. Having high standards and not living up to them can draw you down too. As you have not shared much I can only assume, hopefully my assumptions are correct, if they are not sorry. God has given you the ability to reach beyond the norm (sadness, unworthy, shame, guilt) and live a redeemed life rich in the fullness of Jesus. Jesus is the answer to your problems. Get to know Him, read the New Testament and read Jesus’s words and absorb them into your life. He gives you the oomph to go on and fight the good fight. Jesus is magnificent, awesome, my best friend along with my wife. Pray to Him, seek His face, He is the giver of life-really!!

Time with Jesus is so fulfilling. You are so fortunate to be so young in the Lord as I remember my first steps. It is an exciting time. Instead of looking inward look outward at our Lord.
May the Peace of our Lord come into your life.
God Bless...

It is with joy that I welcome you into the Kingdom of God. Now I'll get straight to the point of saying that since the christian life involves a total turnaround to doing things God's way and NOT your way or satan's way anymore, it is obvious that life will begin to look hugely different from what you accustom to: the answer is to continue to talk to God and study His word daily and especially take a look at the changes within your spirit and your mind as God gives you His gift of righteousness as you keep your heart and mind focussed on the spiritual outcome of your life. "I want to change everything so bad" . Ah, thats where God wants you to take the opportunity to give your life over to HIM to MANAGE for you and HE will make the changes for you. You just need to obey His word and believe HE will do what He says in His word. I know you feel down but dont stay down, thats where satan will creep in, use God's word to stand strong thru these trials and God WILL as promised give you success.

The ways, which this flesh wants to go, are not Life. They are a pseudo (false) life, a poor imitation. Jesus is Life. Your natural family is a part of your stewardship, but it is not Life. Jesus is Life. Good health in your natural flesh is a blessing from God, but it is not Life. Jesus is Life. Nice easy pathways where everything, or even most things, go as you would like them to go are not necessities in our walk with God and they are most definitely are not Life. Jesus is Life.

Do we need all of those things: The comfort of our flesh and the flesh of our natural family; good natural health; nice easy natural pathways?

God knows what we need. We do not know! All we need to know is that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matt 6:33

If we do first things first, God will add to us all that is needed, but if we decide for ourselves what is needed, we are not seeking God's kingdom and God's righteousness first, are we?

OK, m...its been 8 days since you posted your feelings...how are you feeling now? Feelings do change, quite easily in fact, so is this depression something new or something that comes back as a sort of "default" mode?

And what can you do about it? Well, could it be based on something physical- like low iron or vitamin B-12? Or exhaustion? Are you sleeping well? Are you eating the right kinds of foods? Are you exercising? Are you drinking enough water? Things like that are where you start. I would love to hear what you have tried, and what happened. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Unselfish giving to the poor to unlock the potential to be healthy and happy, even to those who only do casual work such as delivering junkmail in letterboxes for years - is the Christian thing to do. Ultimate wealth and health can only be truly experienced in God's ultimate green clean community-built city - the Kingdom of God - that will replace all of our modern or wretched homes, and we won't have to worry about the health and safety circumstances of our homes besides our jobs, sports activities, food or water, or any other activity that attracts our desires to enjoy life to the full, knowing that Jesus is our lord of health and safety, to keep us alive as young healthy adults - like Adam and Eve before their unfortunate punishment had prevented them and us from receiving eternal youth from the Tree of Life, thanks to that wretched deceiving spiritual attacker: Satan the devil. If only God had placed surveillance cameras in the Garden of Eden so that the angels will keep an eye on Adam and Eve 24 hours a day.
I'm not saying that God is not very smart, but I'm sure our questions/criticisms have already been heard since Jesus is supernatural and lives forever in our hearts - and probably knew our future circumstances before we were born. Such a powerful gift to know our future is something that Satan jealously and desperately wants to avoid his future defeat when Jesus returns anytime soon in this modern civilization to fight global warming besides the violence and debt-ridden global economy.;*;.
