Heavenly Father, I pray for this individual. Please hear his cries and bless him. Let him know that you will NEVER will him nor forsake him. Restore his faith and heal his broken spirit. I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
 
God loves you and He promised never to leave you nor forsake you. He is with you always even until the end of the world. I pray that God will fill you with His peace & cover you under His wings of Love. Lord, touch lostmike & open his eyes to see that you love him.
 
Greetings Mike, first of all, giving up is a strictly PERSONAL decision. It is not from God because it is not God's way for one to give up. A person is given Free Will by God to make the tough choices and decisions they must inevitably make while on this Earth. Each person can choose to persevere or just give up. That's the fact of the matter. However, let me say that in blaming God for not loving you, you have made a serious, egregious mistake.

Mike, you must remember that it was because God LOVED His One and Only begotten Son Jesus Christ that He sent Him to Earth to incarnate so that He could cleanse us all from sin. But in the process of doing that, God knew that His Son had to die in order that We May Live. What greater Love can there be! Therefore, Jesus died but Resurrected to give us Salvation! Jesus underwent hardships harder than many can possibly understand. Imagine being wrongfully accused and then whipped and beaten and made to carry your own cross all the way up to Calvary! Imagine being crowned with a crown of thorns that pierces through your skin and draws blood! Imagine being CRUCIFIED between two thieves! Just imagine the PAIN Our Lord and Savior underwent just so that YOU could live!

And you dare accuse Him of not bringing happiness into your life! How inexcusably ungrateful of you! I say this with "tough love" for you because you are a child of God and you need to understand what true pain is as experienced by Jesus. Your Heavenly Father Loves you more than you can possibly imagine. But He does allow you to grow through your experiences in life hard as they may be. Otherwise, how could you grow to understand, comprehend, appreciate, and elevate into a higher spiritual state?

So, while you think you have it bad, just remember Jesus hanging from that cross asking for water with blood dripping from his forehead and still asking His Father in Heaven to forgive those who crucified Him for they knew not what they did. Then, compare what little you have to suffer and tell me if whatever that is is greater than what God's Son underwent at Calvary. And you must also remember that Jesus was in Human Form that is why He could feel the sting of the whip and the blood that dripped down His precious brow.

So, I cannot, for anything, understand how anyone would dare have the heart to accuse their Heavenly Father of not loving them and of bringing them pain when it is a person, him/herself who brings such pain unto themselves. Whatever has not gone right in your life which causes you pain, go introspectively and examine your conscience to see what that reason could be.

After you do, you should get on bended knee and ask God for forgiveness for accusing Him of what you have. Doing that, will set you FREE! So, in Christian love, I ask you to reconsider your stance in this matter and see clearly through things before being accusative of One who is so good, so wonderful, so Loving, So Kind, and So Great that He gives you your very life each and every day among the many other blessings you may not take the time to thank Him for.

May God Bless You and may your heart be moved to understand what I have said here.

And next time you think that God is to blame for your problems, open your heart and see clearly and remember this Scripture where God speaks personally to You.

"I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." -- HEBREWS 13:5 (KJV)

Dear Lord Jesus,

I lift this dear man up before you.Lord, even his sign in name says lostmike, he is so utterly devastated and just looking to you as his source of happiness.God, most of us understand his agony, and even a few of us, actually no what it is like to be here-because we are there too.So right now, i ask you to whisper to mike that you love him so so dearly.Favour him father, sing to him your promises of hope, about a future you have for him that will bring happiness and some peace to his heart.Being in the dark about everything is causing him to doubt that you even love him, and that is not his fault.So please wrap him up tight, and just pour down bucket loads of love on him, and peace, and open the windows of heaven directly over him God.mike's petition is not hard at all for you to answer-he needs you now-so please take this 911 call and rescue this man.I ask for a river of love to come and flood this life with joy, and bless this spirit and lift him and give him so much favour and success, that he will pray and others who want what he has will get it.I commit this beautiful soul into your most precious hands Father, please for all of us, bring joy bubbling over to this man.We want to hear a happy praise report from him next time-of how you rescued him and lifted him out of the pit.Come please Jesus and look upon this man with compassion.And restore everything that the locusts have stolen from him a hundred fold.Thank you Jesus for hearing his cries of help and coming to his rescue.

Amen.
 
God Bless you, Mike. I have read some of your responses and prayers from your Christian friends here, and so appreciate this website, where we can come together as an Army, and pray for each other.

We have all felt like giving up at times, me included, but Praise The Lord, he always draws us back. I gave up on everything...or let me rephrase, I surrendered everything in my life to the point of having to walk away for a while, and really get My life right with God. He is more than able to accomplish what he has set out to do. I found true peace, when I got on my knees and gave him everything, my circumstances, my children, my husband, my possessions, etc., but more importantly, I gave God "My Rights" to anything...I don't have "rights".....I have the "priviledge" of being a Child of the most high God.

Mike, I think when you get to this place, yes you give up....but you really surrender. God wants to bless us with relationships, physical needs, etc., but he wants to be 1st in our life. He will not compete with another.

I love you in the Lord, and I am praying for you.

Very warm greetings Mike, In your original posting you indicated blame for God and it was explained that God does not cause the problems people encounter. Rather, that people themselves cause the problems and that God simply allows those problems as a way to teach one to become closer to Him and to live the right way.

I Congratulate you on your choice to not do random drugs or pills, etc. as that is not good nor healthy for anyone. You say others are doing it and are doing better than you but you must fully understand that besides the danger they are posing unto themselves health-wise and to others, etc., they may have other resources with which to do better financially speaking. Consider a very wealthy person who does drugs. Now consider that that person who is doing the drugs owns a yacht, a plane, a mansion, etc. They may have accumulated their wealth through hard work that would allow them to live a lifestyle such as that with the use of those assets. But that does not mean that doing drugs = somehow doing better than you. Not at all! Each case is different.

I understand more now that you have expounded, than in your brief original posting. It is not wrong to desire someone to love and to be with in your life and even marry. But that is something entirely different. If you feel that God has not given you that person then again you would be wrong in many ways. God will allow such a person to enter your life at the appropriate time depending upon you, first and foremost. If you gravitate towards such a person because your ways, compatibility, wants, needs, and desires are congruent with that other person's then indeed such a person can appear in your life due to the spiritual Law of Harmony. But if that person does not materialize, then Mike, you cannot or should not blame God for that is something having to do with you and the way you are approaching the situation and you, yourself, are not allowing it to happen for some reason. This is completely outside of God doing anything to prevent you from obtaining what you want. That is to say, don't blame God for what you want and cannot get as you are obviously not doing what is required to get it in the first place.

In wanting the best for the one you love, it will also take good EFFORT from the one you love to "straighten herself up" and move towards God in order for God to be able to help her. It is not an automatic process. Work is involved here and it starts with fully Accepting Jesus Into Her Life by becoming a Born Again Christian. After going to God and repenting for your past sins and accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior (and that goes for her doing that as well, individually) Jesus then joins you and her in may ways you may not have thought previously possible! But as long as no change transpires, that is, she does not stop any dangerous behavior in her life, she will have made that choice for herself and God can only help those who help themselves. Do you understand what I am saying here, Mike?

God Loves you and He Loves her as well because you are both His children. But you both have to learn to fully appreciate Him too by living within the conforms of His Teachings/Commandments, Laws, and Expectations. You have to try as hard as you can even if you feel you cannot achieve everything. Absent that, God is limited in being closer to you like He would like to be as well as to her. Yes, God CAN move mountains (that is, Big Troubles, Strife, etc. in one's life) but there has to be a good effort on the part of those who wish those mountains to be moved from their life such as to cause them to be moved with His help! Again, that is not automatic.

Therefore, the plan would be to consider aligning yourself closer to God than you have ever been. If you are speaking with your lady friend, you might mention to her that for things to work more harmoniously with God closer in her life, she needs to align much closer with God as well. It takes a true COMMITMENT from the two of you to follow God from hereon for you to expect to see the kind of changes you are waiting to happen. And they CAN happen! But in order to be able to walk, one has to put one foot in front of the other and have the will to do so. What I am saying is that with good effort on your part, you can have the kind of life, Mike, that you are truly serving of! And I, for one, would like to see you have that beautiful life that is awaiting you! You can leave your present circumstances and change whatever it is that you are no longer comfortable with and live with God in your heart and close to you forevermore! That should be the goal for both of you! But it all starts with YOU and it starts with her too!

If fishermen just expected for God to "move mountains" and produce fish in their nets while their nets lay idly on the ground, it would never happen. They would first need to go to sea and work to catch the fish and with God on their side, they could come back with hundreds of fish or more in their nets!! So now you know what is fully expected of one who merely would blame God for not giving them what they want while others appear to have it. Others may indeed work to get what they want in life and you must too! It will not come to you automatically. But when you put forth good effort, God will see that and help you on your way! Always remember that, dear brother in Christ! We Love You and want only the best for you! If I sound 'tough' at times, it is because I want for you to fully understand how God works so that you will avoid the pitfalls that others have fallen into by merely blaming God for their inadequacies and their lack.

May God Bless You and help you on your way! I KNOW You Can DO IT! I am expecting that you will come back to this very forum and tell us how hard you have worked to become closer to God and to get what your heart desires, because it CAN BE DONE! Others have done it with far less and you can too! And Mike, you need not be "lostmike" anymore once you find Jesus and give your life to Him by becoming Born Again!

Spirit has shown me that the following Scripture is one you should hold close to your heart with Faith and remember always!

"Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, He it is that doth go with thee; He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." -- DEUTERONOMY 31:6 (KJV)

I request prayers that God helps me to keep going and not give up. Also, that He helps me to stay positive and to trust in Him and in His provision. Further, that He helps me to know that He can make a way where there seems to be no way. This I ask in Jesus Name. Amen
