Life is crappy THERE IS NO GOD!?

Question

Life is so crappy right now looking for another job not finding one, a bit poor at the mo and in a job i hate got millions of bills to pay and i dont know where the money is coming from. On top of that saw the ex on monday and he said we need some space i should let him miss me even though i pleaded with him we are on a space thing! So far I have resited the urge to call him its been 3 days so far and this is the longest i have ever lasted and the longest we have ever not spoken or txt. My life is so **** right now I want to quit my job like right now? I think I have lost all faith in the supposed god cos for the last couple months life has been like this and not one of my prayers has been answered. Any one want to add what they think cos i am truly FED UP!

Answer 1

When life is crappy, don't blame G-d, ask him for help. Just because you want a job, doesn't mean it's the right job for you. You're upset so it is hard to think objectively, but you are competing with 100's of other people, and you have to be patient, and you have to make it happen for yourself. You have to make yourself shine out above all the others to let the employers know that YOU are the best candidate. Do this enough and they will be after you, then you get to pick which is best. I know because I was in the same situation for most of last year. It is a horrible feeling, but G-d answers in his own time, I went for 9 months with no job and was totally ready to give up, then one day i got the call, "they want to keep you on permanent". Yes, i worked as a temp and hated it, and was treated like a 2nd class citizen, but I found the strength to prove to them that I was the best for the position, and they haven't been disappointed, and neither have I. It takes a while and lots of insight to find the right job. Once you do, and you will, don't **** it up!

Answer 2

I'm very Christian myself, and I'll answer this question as best i can., because i managed a tough time while still keeping faith. I've been through two adoptions before i was fifteen, I've been through drug problems, many pressures from parents and school, relationships, and friends, and i also recently got over a serious depression. Many family members died recently, as well as old friends who OD'd. Life can't exactly be comfortable down here, because Earth ain't heaven. There's a verse in the bible saying that it's harder for a rich man to get into heaven then for a camel to enter the eye of a needle. By rich, the bible doesn't only mean in money, but in life itself. If we're too comfortable here, we'll never trust God the way we should. And also, about the unanswered prayers, God doesn't take commands. He knows when to answer the prayers, and in what fashion, which he looks for the best time for you. An example in my life is my prayer to date someone i loved. I really wanted to start a relationship with her. But, God had a different plan with me. Instead, he let us get so close that we became brother and sister to each other. And i realized this was a lot better then starting a romantic relationship, because if we did, it might have ruined the friendship we already shared. So, I say good luck, and you'll be in my own prayers. You can go ahead and email me if you have any more questions. I set the options on my profile so you could. Good luck.

Answer 3

Oh dear. OK, bills and job... You can deal with those, you know what you have to do, so do it.... And don't worry about the timescale, just plod along until you're out the other end.

As for the b/f: My ex said exactly the same thing to me. Leave him alone and he might start to miss me, then I would have a chance of getting back with him.

Two words.

SELF RESPECT.

Get some honey, focus on yourself, on what you want from life and how you are going to make YOU feel like YOU can provide everything you need in order to make YOU happy.

My friend told me to write on a pad each day, I FEEL: and then list words to describe how I was feeling.

The first few days were filled with angst, hurt, anger, upset, despair... But day by day they got better and better. Today my words were bright, energetic, sunny, happy, focussed, complete and GORGEOUS!

If there is any chance of your relationship getting back on track, it must be because you are aware of who you are right now, and what you want, and those wants, needs and the person you are - must gel with his. Otherwise you are living your life for another.

I really hope this helps, another tip to make you feel better is to write an "I am" list, list all the things you can think about yourself - you're only allowed to write good things. My list included:

am thoughtful
I am kind
I am loving
I am loyal
I am able to admit when I'm wrong
I am friendly
I am funny
I am really funny
I am able to be a comedy compare
I am joking
I am modest
I am open-minded
I am creative
I am sarcastic
I am rarely serious
I am clever
I am young
I am happy
I am dizzy
I am nice
I am there for others
I am energetic
I am exciting
I am healthy
I am positive
I am sexy
I am not joking
I am great
I am beautiful
I am strong
I am inventive
I am artistic
I am fun to be around
I am FUN
I am lovely
I am random
I am serious
I am sensitive
I am sympathetic
I am empathetic
I am generous
I am giving
I am assertive
I am attentive
I am adaptable
I am a bit wooo a bit waaaay
I am ME
I am finding myself
I am a little crazy
I am bright
I am sunny
I am daring
I am unpretentious
I am unmaterialistic
I am enthusiastic
I am childlike
I am optimistic
I am a great believer
I am a great believer of others
I am easily pleased
I am exciteable
I am romantic
I am opinionated
I am questionable
I am aware
I am alive
I am loved
I am responsible
I am always thinking
I am grateful to others
I am a good friend
I am successful
I am open to suggestions

I'm sure you can see yourself in some of those?

Another thing, ask your friends to come back with a list of things they like about you. Mine did, and it brought tears to my eyes.

Please please focus on YOU, and if you then get back together, it will because it was meant to be.

I wish you all the very best, keep looking for a new job, don't quit before you've found one... And just live a little sparingly until you've got your ££'s back on track.

Take care xx

I've been where you are and this is exactly the way Satan wants you to feel and to react. Don't let him turn you away from God. Nothing in this world is worth spending eternity with Satan instead of God. Read the book of Job and know you are not alone. Every Christian goes through the same thing you're going through. Keep praying putting your trust in God. Visit the Voice of the Martyrs website and you will see proof that Christians are not guaranteed an easy life here on earth. Jesus suffered far more than most of us ever will. Our reward for being faithful to God will be in heaven for eternity. That doesn't mean there can be no happiness and prosperity on earth, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33

You are in my prayers. God bless you.

Answer 5

I am sorry that you are going through so many complex challenges. But don't worry, things will get better for you- I promise.

I know that there are times when it seems like God is not there, or that he doesn't care. I know, because I have been at that point, myself. All I can say to you, truthfully, is that he is real, and he does care. Things seem horrible right now from your point of view. I am not sure if you can be pursuaded to agree that things could be a whole lot worse- nor am I convinced that this would help you have a different perspective on things.

But just for a moment, let's try to think about the bright side of things.

1. You have a job
2. You are physically and mentally capable of working
3. You have your health
4. You are still young
5. You are not dying of cancer
6. You have the use of your arms and legs

And so forth. Hence, there are many things for you to be grateful for- but that is entirely up to you. You have to decide how you want to see your life. There is power in the way you think. I encourage you to start thinking positively, instead of dwelling on all the negative aspects. I assure you that you will be seeing victory instead of defeat, if you will think positively, act positively, and believe.

God has answered your prayers- but he doesn't always give us the answers we should prefer. We have to surrender to God's will, and permit things to come in his time, rather than our own.

Good luck, and God bless.

Answer 6

"The Good Lord helps those who help themselves." If you don't like your job, start looking for another one, apply, get an interview, and get the job. Once you've been accepted, you can put your two weeks notice in on your current job, and be out of there in no time. If the bills are high, look for one that pays a little more. You shouldn't even be trying to talk to your "ex". If he's asking for space, it sounds like you haven't respected the fact that you two are no longer an item, and you need to come to terms with that. Breaking up with somebody sucks, yes. Having a crappy job sucks, yes. But if you did some things for yourself, instead of counting on God to do it for you, you would see a lot better results. Don't blame your lack of initiative on God.

Answer 7

Look, it may feel like it's God's fault, but it is NOT. It is the natural order of things. It takes a little more effort on your part. First, change your thinking. First, plan out what exactly it is you want from your life and start being it, whether you are or you aren't...Just believe YOU ARE. For instance, I was in the same shoes as you and I believed I was successful, that led me to DO successful things, and guess what sis...I HAD success! Now, this didn't happen over night, within a week or a month or even a year...but it DID HAPPEN. You have to turn INWARD and BELIEVE IN YOUR SELF. Be more in the likeness and image of God. You will know that this is happening when life begins to turn around.

Answer 8

you are not alone life gets ruff, your job is not working for you you are making a change and trying to get some interviews this is positive be patient, i myself have been in some bad positions as far as money go's but give it time things will turn around set out a plan and stick to it be positive, you believe there is a god but god has not given you what you want right now, maybe your god is teaching you how to have those things in the future and right now you are learning truths about those things truths about your self you will find a way through it just mite be hard work for a while, do not give up be positive, take time to breath, set your self some goals. love and light

Answer 9

Attitude is everything and right now, your sucks, sorry to say. It's easy to get into the poor me mode, just don't stay there. I guarantee yo when you begin to see all of these challenges as gifts from God to help you to find the life that you want then you will have all the doors open to you.

Your relationship is failing or failed. Maybe it is time for you to let go of that part of your life so that you may move into a better part, getting rid of the old makes room for the new.

You hate your job then, figure out what you want to do with your life and then do it, get a job somewhere that interests you, that challenges you, that you like to do.

You say that god hasn't answered your prayers. I say that he has answered, he is giving you the opportnity to make changes in your life that are for the better, that are more in line with what you want for yourself.

BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THE WORK!!! You feel as though your life is falling apart, well this is your chance to re-build, make it the way yo want it. God is right with you, waiting for you to quit whining and start creating your life!

Good Luck and God Bless

Answer 10

We sound like two peas in a pod.
Sorry things aren't going your way right now... but truth be known, allow yourself to be fed up! Sometimes it will force the hand of change rather than allowing you a life of stale mediocrity. Sometimes change is the most difficult thing to accept, but always remember that the more you allow change into your life, the easier it is to accept it. It’s a sort of conditioning and in doing so you learn not to fear or reside in a life filled with questions… especially when those questions are of yourself and your choices. Be good to yourself and try to separate your work issues from your personal issues. Do not be afraid of being alone, it allows you to listen to your own voice and not the opinions of others.
As for the "No God" title… follow this link I've posted below and I think you’ll realize that yes, there's no “God”, but by the end of the movie you’ll realize that life isn’t so bad after all… for now.
Good Luck!
