Every door closed...what can you do?

Question

What can you do when you try everything humanly possible to remedy a situation, and think that you might have a solution, only to have every metaphorical door closed in your face? I have a desperate situation I've been trying to rectify, and no help. I am, honestly, sick of praying. I can say that because I know God is not intimidated by that statement. I have no other options at this point...I've thought about ending things. Has this happened to you?
(I will report anyone who can't "behave" like an adult.)

First of all, I know how to pray. I'm not wishing on anything. So the "make sure you are praying" is ridiculous.

I don't need to repent of anything...it's not that type of situation. And no, it's not a relationship.

Answer 2

Well first off I will like to say you must pray. The first step in prayer is believing and confessing to Jesus that you know he's real and that you know he died on the cross for your sins (b/c if there's sin in your life you haven't confessed to the Lord he cannot and will not hear and answer your other prayers). So you may be just praying in vain. So once you confess your sins which is especially one of them you admitted to when you say that God doen't get intimidated. Now that's a lie str-8 from Hell. And that was Jesus's task, to pray. That was his way of talking to the Father. Matthew 6:5-15, 32-34 and Matthew 7:7-11 and 1Timothy 2:10-15. So please don't be deceived b/c the days are short and the Lord wants his people to prosper but all the more for them to be ready of his return . You must be born again and filled with the Holy Ghost, you'll know when you start testifying. John 3:3-7. So commit yourself holy and acceptable unto the Lord which is your reasonable service.

Answer 3

Do your best, say a prayer, let go, and let God. I hate to see that you are having such a bad experience. My heart goes out to you. I have been there my sister. I used to be an abused wife. Had it not been for my children, I think I would have ended it all to. Now I am so glad that I didn't. I know you are said that you are 'sick' of praying but that is the best way. When we pray, we must give the situation to God and have the faith that He will do it. If you say you have given it to Him yet you still try to fix it, you haven't truly given it to Him. He wants to help us but He can't fix it unless we surrender all to Him. There was a time I felt like I was tired to but the Word of God is true when He says that yet in a little while, He that is coming will come and He will not tarry. Just truly give it to Him my sister. I'll be praying with you. May God Bless and keep you.

Answer 4

I do not know what your situation is but I can tell you that God works through people. Sometimes when I am really looking for an answer and none is forth coming I need to step back and wait and see what will happen with out my forcing it. Sometimes things work themselves out in the most unexpected ways when I am patient. Please don't end anything as precious as your life. No matter who you are, you are a child of God and he loves you exactly as you are. I recently went through years of trials and chaos in my life. In the middle of everything much to my surprise I had what they call a spiritual awakening. I now know that Jesus Christ is with me and walked me through all the pain. I have felt the love he feels for me and I will pray that you can feel that love too. It is all about compassion and forgiveness. My mistakes are wiped away and I have a new life. You are very much loved. I don't know what trouble you may be in but in your phone book I am sure there is a phone number for a place that can help you with your problem. There are a number of wonderful support groups in most areas. People helping each other - that is God in action. Good luck to you and God Bless- I will pray for you.

Answer 5

Yes. I have had people distort my words and I have lost friends as a result and nobody will listen to me or let me explain because I have been made to seem in the wrong. I can't even express anger at the situation, because people take it as 'proof' that I am trying to deceive them or intimidate them.

I have been very frustrated and angry with God as a result.

But I have come to the conclusion that I will just have to trust God and wait for the Day of Resurrection.

I pray that He will give you strength and courage to hang on, as long as He requires you to hang on. I wish that there was something I could say to encourage you. I can only point to the list of the faithful in the book of Hebrews. They died without having received what was promised. But they have it now, in Heaven.

I'll see you there, someday.

Answer 6

There is always tomorrow. With ending it, there is no tomorrow. Just keep trying to come up with a way to rectify the situation. Praying will help you come up with an answer. Sure, it has happened to me too, and looking back, I understand the reasoning behind it. Some day, you will also. Best of luck.

Answer 7

When you say "I've thought about ending things", do you mead a relationship or your life? Because you need to know that suicide is never the answer. It only causes everyone left pain. You absolutely need to get some guidance on this. 1-800 suicide, look it up on the net. Talk to a nurse, doctor, friend, cop anyone. Maybe if you feel comfortable enough (no one here knows you) you can tell us the problem and between all of us, one of us might surprise you and have some solutions. Please talk to someone though. Good Luck and God Bless.

Answer 8

It happens to everyone. You can't be talking about "ending things" though, that's not an option. We have to just keep on going, doing the best we can. It's not easy, it never will be, but we can do what we need to do. Sometimes God answers our prayers with a "no". He knows what we really need better than we do, so even though we might not get the answer we want, that's because He can see the big picture and we can't.

Answer 9

Steps to repent go like this:
1 Recognize you've done wrong
2 Feel bad about it
3 Ask God for forgiveness
4 Do everything possible to repair your deed
5 Don't do it again

Girl; the hardest part of this ain't gutting God to forgive you, it's for you to forgive yourself and forget about it. As long as you learned your lesson and repented the right way, you won't have the desire to do it again and you'll feel great. You gotta understand that sometimes you won't be able to make things like they were, but as long as in your heart you feel you've done your best, that's all good.
I've never felt like ending things, no, 'cos I'm a Mormon and my life is Joy.
Come on, just look in your heart and tell me there is no hope for you. You're a freaking awesome person for caring so much to make something right so much, I don't know a lot of ppl that try so hard to make things right, and I know a lot of ppl.

Give your self some credit and cut your self some slack, you'll do fine!

Answer 10

This has been happening to me for a long time.
I do not see a solution-because I have tried everything-and can no longer even imagine a time when it will be resolved.
The only thing you can do is persevere.
Let go of everything that you don't really need. You might find that some of those things are only adding weight to your burden.
It's not "fair" and there is no way to make it so. Move past that.
No one has power over you.

Answer 11

You are really vague. If you mean "ending things" as in suicide. you need to seek medical help immediately. Just walk into any hospital and say you feel suicidal.

IF you mean ending a relationship. You are probably right. You can't change other people.

There are some things in life you don't have control over and you must accept that.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,

Courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.

Really meditate on this.
