Praying

Permalink Reply by Shanthi on June 3, 2013 at 10:11pm

I have the same feeling Greg.  Can't talk to anyone and than just look forward to seeing messages from online friends.  Than when I don't get any, I feel so disappointed and feel miserable.  Sometimes the friendship just dies off after awhile.  I assume my online friends are too busy with their life or they just don't know what to say to me anymore...so many thoughts in my head.

Just take one day at a time...being positive is so difficult, but give it a go and it camouflages the negative views we have.  Life is all about keeping on trying till we  gain the victory.

  Friends come and go...but some remain and that's the best.  

God watches over everyone, and I will keep you in my prayer... we all go through this feeling, we are blessed we are not alone...

Greg, could it be perhaps God is trying to push you out into the world instead of into the online world so much?  I've felt those nudges.  It doesn't mean I want to give up on the friendships I've developed here, but I have been limiting my online time a lot lately due to these feelings, spending more time out with people in real life.  I've been walking with a co-worker each morning rather than being here.

Well something I'm learning is change takes time and perseverance, so hang in there and things will improve.

Dear Gregory,

Please accept a long range cyberspace Christian hug from a brother who loves you.

Now, in your post, you sound like the apostle Paul.........not all bad....

Let me share some excerpts from Oswald Chamber's "My Utmost For His Highest":

"His (Jesus) life was an absolute failure from every standpoint except God's. But what to be failure from man's standpoint was a triumph from God's standpoint, because God's purpose is never the same as man's purpose."

And-

A Christian is someone who trusts in the knowledge and the wisdom of God, not in his own abilities. If we have a purpose of our own, it destroys the simplicity and the calm, relaxed pace which should be characteristic of the children of God."

August 5.

 

Almighty God,

We lift up our brother, Gregory, that You might comfort him in his walk with You.

Help him to realize, Father, that his focus is on you.......not on human beings.....we all need Christian friendship in Your Kingdom.....and it comes....without strain or pain. Help us all to march, in step to the tempo of Jesus' ministry, that we might bring You glory and honor through His Name.

Amen.
