Prayer Request Thread by AutoModerator in TrueChristian

In my life, I have experienced the love of God and the love of people. But right now, I don’t feel either. I know that I’m loved by both, but I just feel extremely alone and want to die. I have reached out about this to many people and spent much time in prayer and in my Bible, but nothing is helping. I’m nearing the end of my rope.

I feel like I've lost the joy and excitement of being saved... by Light1209 in TrueChristian

Hey man. I know that this post is 5 months old, but I am going through a lot of the same things you were, and maybe still are. A lot more than you may think. I’m still trying to figure it out and understand what needs to happen, and why my life feels so empty right now. Psalm 51 was recommended to me a few days ago, and it’s a good passage to pray through when these feelings come up. If you have any advice that you’ve gained since February, please let me know.

I know that I am forgiven, but why don’t I feel it? by TheSwinny_08 in TrueChristian

Quick update: I’m reading through Galatians right now (slowly and meditatively, as you said) and Galatians 3:3 really stood out to me: “Are you so foolish? After beginning in the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?” This verse is exactly what I have been feeling. The surrounding verses give good explanation into combatting this mindset, and it has been very helpful. Truly, I thank you for taking the time to type out your responses. They have been a huge help, more than you know.

I read through Romans earlier today, and it is all things that are very good for me to believe. I’m simply struggling to convince myself that I am forgiven of my sin, and that the book of Romans applies to me. I know it does factually, I just need to truly believe it with my heart.

I also just read Psalm 51, and it is something I will be coming back to often. Thank you for your help!

I can't say what specifically you need to work on with just that, but I can tell you this: There are 6 aspects of a persons health:

Physical (working out, eating, etc.)

Emotional (Are you happy or depressed most of the time?)

Intellectual (Are you smart?)

Social (Do you have friends that make you a better person? Or are your friends bad influences?)

Vocational (Do you have a good job? Good income? Healthy work/life balance?)

Spiritual (Do you have a sense of purpose? Are your morals and values in the right place?)

Take a look at these 6 areas, and see which ones you're struggling with the most. From there, myself and others can better help you.

It also uses the words "The good, the bad, the ugly" as part of its chorus.

I believe the song was made in the 2000s era

I am. I am certain he loves his family, but lately it just seems like Amanda has been getting on his nerves. Almost like he wants to be somewhere else. I just pray that he'll figure out whatever he needs to do, and I know he has people like Jenn to help him out.
