I am a Christian. I strive daily to walk in the path God has for me. It seems like I am to be a lonely person though. I have very few friends and today I lost another one. I really think it is me. No matter how hard I try--the friendships never last. Is this the will of God for me?

they're Christian. More so than I, I believe.

Do you not realize that all things pass ? Even mountains crumble and life ends, the more you try to hold on to anything the less you have . If one accepts that this life is nothing more than a brief journey down an ever changing river then one can begin to relax and enjoy its unlimited scenery .

Maybe you're making too big an issue of the Christian thing. Do you ever talk about other things? Strive to walk in God's path, if that's what you believe you should do, but perhaps keep it a more personal thing and don't always bring it up, if that's what you do.

People walk different paths. Every one's journey is their own. We can strive for some of the same goals but we are each unique. Don't doubt yourself.
There are acquaintances, friends, best friends, and families, the way I think. I have one that I trust and confide in implicitly.
Have faith. Why would this be the will of God unless He is teaching something? Trust. Try to not feel so sad. Have better thoughts. God Bless and keep you.

No it is not just you. I am not a christian, but as long as you are not trying to force your beliefs on others, I don't see how that would make a difference. Maybe you should try to find a place where you can go and meet people more like yourself. Regardless, the friend (or ex-friends) that are giving up on your friendship so easily are not life long friends that you are looking for. Go out and find someone that will fully appreciate your friendship and don't be afraid to look to people that may not have the same beliefs as you but are open-minded. Good luck and keep your head up.

When we choose to walk in the path of God, lots of things change. For example your so called friends and yes I said so called friends were not your friends to be begin with. As long as you have God on your, side who can be against you. The love of God will embrace your mind, heart, body, soul, and spirit in a way that no man or woman walking the earth can. So keep striving in his path and everything will be fine. The reward is great. I know, God is my everything.

Why are you losing these friends? Are they Christian also?
Maybe you are suppose to have a new network of friends. Ones who believe like you do. People you can talk to and share feeling like this with. Take a look at the people you call your friends and see if maybe that is the problem. Maybe they are being taken from you because they are not good for you.

Perhaps it is. But have you tried leaving the friendships to God? I've only lost one of a big handful of friends in my life; and that's because I tried to hard to keep the friendship. It's like trying to stay on a sinking ship. Give it up to God; see what happens.

Friendship is accepting your friends for who they are, and loving them anyway.
See if you can figure out why the friendship ended (checking with the ex-friend is an option), and if it is something you can change, apply yourself to not making that mistake again.
If the reason is beyond your control, or something you are unwilling to change, accept that is the way things are and move on.
It is not up to us to figure out what the will of God is, you can only respond to any calling you receive and be the best human being possible.

It all depends. As far as the friends,Do they believe in christ?god probably took them out the picture for a reason.this could be a chance for you to find new brothers and sisters in the faith,so you can grow in the lord.As far as being lonely, I've felt that way myself but your truly not alone.

Meaning you no disrespect...You must either be a real ***** or a real prick. I am able to keep my friends by living my life in a respectful manner. Not only that freindship isn't about trying...if you're truly friends with someone it shouldn't require much effort at all. Perhaps you are trying to impose your Chirstian belief systems on them and they sicken of hearing it over time? I strongly urge you to check into WWW.UUA.ORG and widen your view of life/religion. PEACE!
