Is there hope?

Is there a God? Should I keep praying or am I just a fool? It appears that I am a failure at life. Is there a reason to have faith?

Faith should bring hope
with hope as the french saying hope makes one live
“l’espoir fair vive” sorry for the mispell
Is there a good that is for you to decide our opinions differ to all
I wont tell you no and that might hav an internal conflict of what you were thought to believe to not mean a thing
I think if you love your faith continue so but my grandma once said
that god gave us free will to do as we are to do
and only by helping yourself can another help you
life may feel fruitless and not worth it but fight to live this life you have give it your very best and you just might make a break through :)

I hope there is a god…. i hope there is hope…. if not then i’m travelling a difficult path at the moment and without hope it seems pretty pointless to keep going.

Well i hope you get up and come out to be a better and stronger person when you come out of your moment of turmoil
Hope is not the reason, the reason of fighting gives us hope
WEll if your a bible reader i do believe there is a passage mentioning something of walking through the valley of dark or some such and he will be there

Anon, dont despair find a reason to fight and heck give it your all and everything. if you want you can elaborate in your problems for me and many to help
although you might know what to do but sometimes hearing some one saying it encourages one to do what they hav to

there is no such thing as failing in life, that’s just a modern myth of our society.
Think about it this way, who taught you to think you can actually fail in life? Was it the media? Was it people at church? Was it your teachers?… well, how the hell would they know what is failing life? life is not a test to be failed… As far as I’m concerned life is for living it.

P.S.: I believe in God

All questions pretty much everyone struggles with every day. I’m one of them. And they have no clear 100% answers. But you’re alive. So right off the bat you’re not a failure at life or it would’ve been taken from you by forces beyond your control…meaning you’re supposed to be here. I guess you just have to figure out why.

Funny thing though….when I got stuck in the past, I had to make things worse, before they got better. And not taking that step kept me in limbo for nearly a year. Maybe you’re in a similar situation?

Just remember, it’s okay to fail, it’s okay for life to suck, and it’s okay to feel the way you do. There isn’t anything wrong with that regardless of what society may think. Not to mention EVERYONE hits that point multiple times in a lifetime.

From an artist’s perspective “there’s always positive space against the negative.”

Personally i fail terribly in personal relationships…a failed marriage although in my defence my ex husband was a gambler 20 years ago when i married hom, still a gambler when i divorced him within two years and now all these years later he is still a gambler…I’ve had a couple of failed relationships since… failed as in they are no longer part of my life and the latest one hit me hard…. His parting shot was that i was a failure… i couldn’t sustain a relationship with anyone. Granted he had a fifteen year marriage under his belt which failed but only because his wife cheated on him so he certainly has a better track record than me. I don’t know why i can’t sustain a relationship… it seems two years is the most i can manage. My ex partner’s comments have cut deep…. maybe i am destined to be on my own and don’t deserve to find a loving caring supportive partner to share my life with but when i think that then i question what type of person that makes me. If there is no hope for me to find someone special then i may live another forty or fifty years alone…. without hope i can’t imagine i could ever get through those years.

Did you jump in my boat? I’ve had 4, 2-year failed relationships…and I’m not sure where the current one will take me. I thought the same thing as you. Most of them were cut by the other end, but now I’m the one causing problems. It’s like I can’t seem to keep things clear either. Been debating just being alone myself…But really, I think it’s just bad luck, and I’m not taking the time to really match myself up with the right person. I may rush into things because I think deep down I’m afraid to be alone. I think I’m entering the relationships for the wrong reasons and no wonder why they don’t work out in the end.

But through the bad relationships, you’ll know exactly what not to look for in the next one! woohoo! Something good can come out of it.

And take it one step at a time and see where you end up. Most people who end up alone want to be that way, or don’t take any active steps in changing their life. I think you still have LOTS of time to find someone good for you. My suggestion is not to try so hard to date guys right now…but try really hard to make guy friends. If you can get 45 male friends you can date 1 a year for 45 more years! See where that takes you….haha.

LOL… Thanks Red Fox

It’s funny how you should mention guy friends rather than dating guys… I’m useless with women friends… i am much more comfortable in the company of men… None of that gossipy ******** that goes on when a group of women get together… My two oldest friends of over twenty years are male…. well they were… my last partner hated me being around men and even when he met these two friends and realised that all i had was friendship with them he couldn’t handle it… they drifted away and i’m not sure they would even talk to me now.

I tried really hard before my last relationship to build myself up ready for a relationship, spending time on myself, making sure i was feeling good and secure in myself…. was determined not to fall for a guy who wasn’t right for me…. still made the same mistakes though. Guess i need to be on my own for longer this time.

ok, i feel sooo affended gossipy wat wen we are here grrr ok why do soo many people keep categorize us all woman as loving to gossip so much men gossip to u know. worst even. even woman do soo to my that gives me a migrain not all woman are such and it is up to you to choose wich is to be your friends or not.

Its not lonelyness that is the answer, if you just let life pass and just live some things will fall into place. sometimes people try too much or not enough just live life.when you are bz figuring how this is supposed to be or go thats wen a whole day has gone and passed you by.

Red Fox….. The longest period of time i have spent on my own is 4 years…. the last relationship followed a period of almost two years on my own.

Today i feel quite positive even though it’s only two weeks since the break up of my relationship… but it was so rocky towards the end i think i was relieved when it did end…. just don’t want to get to that stage where all i feel day in and day out is lonely…. Not there yet!

Petite Ange

I know that some women are quite capable of not being gossiping back stabbing b******s… I happen to be one of them so i know they exist…. I think i make a good friend to all my friends…. male or female… it just happens that i have more male friends than female….It’s just from my own experience that i said that when women get together they gossip and b***h…. never experienced that with a group of men.

You misunderstand me Petite Ange…. I am surrounded by men…. i work with them, i socialise with them, family friends etc…. I’ve just never come across a group of men stood around doing the female thing of “oh have you seen the trousers he’s got on, makes his legs look like tree trunks”….. without fail women will resort to attacking other women even total strangers they see pass in the street to make theirselves feel better….the only area i have even seen men come close to it with men is in the workplace…. but even then they tend to attack on a “business level” rather than a personal level.

Sounds like you’re on the right track then. Just keep pushing. 4 years is a good amount of time to work on yourself. Sounds like you don’t have a problem waiting for the right guy to show up. It will happen….

I’m staying out of the side conversation. haha.

Look around you and ask is there a God… how can there not be a God? People always will get depressed but these feelings come from the bad guy down underground aka Satan! These are trials to test you to see if you really are true in your belief. I always get depressed but then I remind myself there will be a day when this life won’t matter (except for leading people to Jesus Christ) and the things on earth that we did will amount to nohting and the only thing that will matter is if we believe that Jesus died for our sins or if he was just a myth.

Ephesians 6:16
“Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.”
