Question

lol someone already asked a "sad" question...maybe it's tonight's topic! lol...but i really am...i dont know if it's my period or 90% of my friends are either married or engaged or i'm graduating this december and feel that my future is bleek or just giving up on ever geting rid of my phobia...any scriptures or words of encouragment? normally i read John 14 but it's not working...

Answer 1

Read the Quran .
82. And We send down of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy to those who believe..(17.The Journey by Night):82

Answer 2

Can't help with the scriptures but I have encouraged others and unfortunately discouraged a few but you can have my truthful thoughts if you chose. But I caution you, not everybody likes my truthful thoughts. And one of my thoughts is that statistically, almost sixty percent of those married friends will be divorced in the not too distant future. So your having taken your time to find a real friend to fall in love with first already says to me that you're going to be fine in the long run. I accept email and IMs.

Answer 3

Everyone makes graduation out to be some wonderful thing. It's actually very stressful. Try to concentrate on all the good stuff coming up--no more homework, no more tests, no more worrying about flunking. Think about it--you'll have whole HOURS to yourself where you won't have to feel guilty about not using them to study!
I've also been in the "all my friends are connected and happy and I'm not!" situation. Now that I have a guy I'm living with, I find I miss that time I had to myself. Think of it this way--some day you'll meet the perfect person and then you'll be with them ALL THE TIME. Savor this time you have to yourself--it WILL pass.

Answer 4

Maybe it feels like life is passing you by, but it's not, there are whole new horizons for you to discover. It's probably mostly your period, we girls have all the fun eh? I know how bereft and blue I feel during those times. Maybe listen to some music you like, and if you feel like sobbing your head off, go ahead, it's not a crime. It often feels better to release some of the tensions instead of holding it in. Anyway, there's always someone here so you're not alone.

Answer 5

Hi Shlane,
You are not alone because God promised He would never leave you or forsake you and He always keeps His promises. I understand you are going through some difficult times now but you will make over to the other side. Relax! God is "still" in charge and He is right there with you.
Take care and God bless!!

P.S. Spend some time talking with the Lord and thanking Him for the life He has given you because you are on the road to success and it is He who goes before you to make all the crooked ways straight.

Answer 6

Psalm 23 is what gives me strength at times like that and, of course, praying. When you pray try to picture Jesus near you and embracing you. Feel that energy, surrender yourself to this moment. Take your time, it doesn't have to be long, but take the time you need feeling Jesus near you. Just imagine Him, picture Him entering your room, and coming with all His love.

After that, relax and just trust. Faith is trust. If you trust in Jesus, there is nothing to worry about. Repeat to yourself this mantra: "I love myself, I approve myself and everything is right in my life". You can even write that on a paper and stick that on your refrigerator, your mirror, your telephone, everywhere so that you can read it over and over again. This really helps anxiety, which it is what you are going through. I am just like you. Every time something is about to change in my life, I get very anxious. It is OK to be anxious, but that shouldn't disturb your life.

Also meditate. Go to a calm place and close your eyes, feel the breeze or just the silence and breathe in and out a couple of times. That is really good and helps you get control over yourself.

Other than that, do something for yourself like going to the movies, to the mall, to a hairdresser for a new stile. That works miracles for us girls. Be pretty to yourself. Put some make-up on and shine!! Love yourself every second of your day.

Peace!

Answer 7

The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight but they,
While their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night!

Don't worry too much about how you'll do. Just work hard toward good goals and you'll do just fine.

Maybe this would help too!

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with a bit of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one ever has done it";
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," and you'll do it.



Now...do one thing for me: make the goofiest grin you possibly can, then imagine yourself jumping on the world's fluffiest bed! :o) Then try to make the biggest frown you possibly can for as long as you can (no more than 5 minutes!)...then just grin and go do something productive. :o)

Good luck!

Answer 8

I think God is giving you a great opportunity to do whatever you want and whatever He puts in your heart!

I mean:

you're single
almost graduated ...

I've heard that when you're depressed is because you haven't thought of other people and by my own experience, I can say it is true.

Think of any way that you can help people spiritually or going to shelters, or cooking for your parents or something. You'll see that after a few chores, you'll get a much clearer view of what you want and where you're going and all your posibilities. ;)

Love in Jesus. :)

Answer 9

Well one thing God has hit me over the head with a two by four with is, We take care of His business and He will take care of ours. Take care and may God bless you spiritually.

P.S. I am hard headed and that is the only way I half way learn anything. It is God's desire that we be free from all anxiety and distressing care.1 CORINTHIANS 7:32

Answer 10

How about this, courtesy of Beth, "But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." Psalms 3:3. I just recently read this verse, and Beth reminded me of it again. It brings me joy. God Bless, and as always you are in my prayers.
