life help: Has god deserted me? - Help.com

Has god deserted me?

I feel like i’m standing on the edge of a cliff. Looking down the deep ravine. With the wind brushing my face. I feel like jumping down, but the scenery is breathtaking. The wind, the birds chirping.. But it won’t last. And because i know that everything will never last makes me wanna jump. Everybody will die and leave and i am living in the bittersweet present, a feeling that i could not express.
I hate this. it is suffocating me.

sorry guys, i had to rant. i think im dying with frustration with this stupid stupid senseless life.

Have you deserted god?

Death is inevitable it comes to all and that is one thing in life that is most certain and with no reserve or prejudice
Life has its ups and downs know i’m drowning with my own despair
i cant truly pursuade you not to end it if you dont want me to pursuaide you to
Life is worth living for it is always a moment of intrigue and uncertainty
Why not let life carry you like the wind carries the feather
live for you know not what lies beyond fight, scream give up rant drop down and dance and make the most of what you have though it sometimes not worth it
for to me at this moment nothing is worth a dam thing.
but i can’t be so selfish for i might cause some one the same pain i’m feeling for it would mean giving up on them without me knowing
i hope that you do get over it ^_^

I know death is inevitable. which makes this world illogical. why do we have to go through all the heartache, happiness, anger, joy, sadness and whatnots but in the end, we end up as nothing? why are we placed here to suffer? it hurts and it hurts badly! I know i m in no position to question god. but i need to know! why?

i feel like a lost sheep in a very very dark empty space, with no light to guidem e. Im floating aimlessly, weightlessly unable to veer towards anything. just floating in the void.

nicely said.

Death does come to every creature on this planet. In reality we molecules and energy that is just in a cycle. Currently we are a live, and it’s the only opportunity we have to be a live. take everyday with the ups and downs because no matter what life is pretty amazing.

Think of this searher
To know happiness one must know sadness
for if there is no death how is some to cherish every moment of ones lives
if you do not know sadness how do you know to savor and cherish the scrap peaces of happiness that comes your way
i’m not very religious person and as for god well i do not and will not get into this topic but religions or your faith is to make you have faith and with faith comes hope if this isnt the way you feel well either you need a deeper spiritual relationship with your god or well i would say that religion cannot make you happy
or as my grams said
god gave us free will which was the greatest gift and curse you have to help yourself before god can help you

“god gave us free will which was the greatest gift and curse you have to help yourself before god can help you reply”

my thing with the idea of free will… if god is all powerful and all knowing he would already know the decisions we are going to make before giving life. So if he knows people are going to choose to not live a righteous life, and therefore condemn them to hell why even create them in the first place. Creation just to punish… Granted the idea that each person will find there way, and it’s fair to let everyone have a life to live. But still I don’t get it fully.

There is no easy button, as you said you see the beauty in spite of how you feel. Could this be a sign that God has not forgotten you? The real fact is that we have deserted God. Back in the garden we (in Adam and Eve) wanted to know evil and disobeyed God; which brought about separation and estrangement from God. God sent His Son to redeem us and bridge the gap between He and us, yet for the most part we still want it our way which brings further separation and loneliness!

The thing to remember is that God did not move he is still waiting on us to realize how our sins has expanded the distance, which we can narrow anytime we make up our minds and return to the Father and admit our flawed thinking and actions. They that come to God must believe that He is and will reward those who diligently seek fellowship with Him. Today I was joining you in a pity party of my own. You want fellowship with God; go after it as though your life depends on it, and it does, because the tempter would enjoy nothing better that for you to end your earthly life to join him in his eternal death.

These verses are all from Psalm 139:

1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
3 You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,
But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether.
5 You have hedged me behind and before,
And laid Your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is high, I cannot attain it.

7 Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall[a] on me,”
Even the night shall be light about me;

13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.

God made you and He knows every detail about you. You may be going through a hard time but EVERYBODY has those bad times. It may just be that He is testing you to prove how strong your faith is in Him. Satan only wants for you to give up on God and not believe in God anymore but the second you do that your back on the road to Hell. And believe me Hell is ugly.

I ask that question too sometimes, why did God even make us? Was it because he was bored? Well we were worship and praise Jesus Christ and tell other people about Him so that we all can go to Heaven one day. Once one has meaning in life, one does not feel so useless or even depressed all the time, however, I am not saying that your always going to be happy happy joy joy all the time but if you find a reason to be alive then you’ll be a lot happier and you will always have someone to talk to.

I don’t know if you even care about what I just said but I have noticed that most people who don’t know Jesus Christ ask why they are alive and go around waiting to die.

Psalm 128: 1-4, Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. Thus is the man blessed who fears the Lord.

Getting into the Bible will help you see the meaning of life and it can inspire you.

Sometimes i find it easier if i refrase it as finding the meaning in life not of life.
Surely anyone can see the value in friendship and love.
In the beauty you see in the world.
In the possessing of and spreading of happiness.

I am not sure of whether there is a greater meaning to life. But i know i have found meaning in it. x

i know this might be irrelevant but the bible seems a bit poetic sometime.
