a selfish prayer request.

Postby Debitt » Sat Oct 16, 2004 7:42 pm

First of all, I want to say sorry for everyone who posts here...I feel terrible for not having the dedication to come here and reply to your threads, and I just want you all to know that I might not say much in this forum, but I do pray for you. ._. That having been said:

...someone help me, all these terrible feelings of worthlessness are beginning to sink in again. Lately I feel...very lonely and forgotten. My friends and I make plans to go out somewhere, and they completely forget to pick me up. I ask them to meet me for a couple minutes at lunch so I can take a couple pictures of them for a photo assignment. They don't show up. They invited my old boyfriend along when we were supposed to get pizza - nothing wrong with that, though I wish they'd remember how much I'm scared of him at the moment. I've been spending ever increasing amounts of time alone, and I feel like I'm not worthwhile enough to be remembered.

Not like I'm trying to undermine God's love or anything...but God put in us the desire for human company, and the one person I feel I can take solace in lives hours away from me. Right now I just want someone to hold me and tell me they care. Someone help me, I want this feeling to go away, and I'm in desperate need of a prayer or two.

I'll pray for you, i really dont think its a selfish thing to ask for if your feeling that bad. I dont have many friend and the friends I do have, never get free time to hang out with me, so I never see them...

::::goes over to give her a hug:::::

I'm sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I've been in that situation quite a few times. To top it off most of my friends went out of state for college while I stayed to attend college here. I talk to them sometimes on the phone or internet and see them during holidays, but it's not the same. Also, i've never really had a girlfriend; but I have faith in God that I'll find someone someday. Truthfully, It feels lonely sometimes. But always remember that there are people here who care for you; me included :) . I'll be sure to put in a couple prayers for you. Just keep your head up high. And if you ever need someone to talk to you can PM me or talk on AIM: agasfas2

KD, I've seen you around and talked with you a bit, so when I saw that this was from you, I had to respond.

I'm like you in that I don't post a lot on the prayer threads (though I still pray for them), and I don't post there myself.

As a person who has never had a girlfriend and has no friends other than the people I talk to online, I understand perfectly the feelings of loneliness and despair that you experience. I can attest to the fact that they aren't pleasant. Therefore, as your request very much spoke to me, you can rest assured that I will definitely be praying for you.

And even though I hardly know you, I love ya.

It's okay! I care!

I first want to say that there nothing selfish about asking for prayer at any time! We want to pray for you. Please, grant me the priviledge of praying for you! It's the best thing we can do to support one another.

I am praying that the Lord will lift the burden of depression off your shoulders and wake your friends up to the very upsetting behavior. And if that's not his will, I'm praying that he'll give you a few new and wonderful friendships. Either way, God will provide.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Try not to let those feelings get to you, okay? Sometimes in life, people get busy and confused and forgetful.....I think we all do it at some point. I am sure that your friends aren't purposefully trying to hurt you....sometimes people just don't think.


Just know that God loves you more than you could ever possibly comprehend, and I can see that people here love you too.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Kokoro Daisuke, you are in my prayers.
I can also relate to those feelings really well, and I know it can be extremely difficult.
Things do get better, though. =)

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

I know how that feels. I was so lonely at one point in my life and i felt so alone. God provided someone though and i couldnt live without her now. I will definately pray for you because i know exactly how you're feeling and it's definately not a pleasant experience. :hug: Hang in there.
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

*hug* I'll definitely be praying for you.


The choice has been made. There's no looking back. I won't let up, back up, give up, or shut up. My focus clear. My path is straight. My God, reliable. I'm a disciple of Christ.

Gods plan is like the sun. its too big and bright to look at directly, and sometimes the rain clouds cover it, but sometimes the plan dapples through the clouds and we can see beautiful glimpses of what he has in store for us.

I'll pray for you too! And never give into feelings of worthlessness; as my TaeKwonDo instructor once said, "God made you, and God doesnt make trash" :thumb:

Don't beat yourself up, you're a cool girl, and remember not everyone HAS to come here and pray, We all have our own problems, sometimes it makes poeple feel good that you listened, even if you don't have time to pray.

***I know this is hard but you can do one of two things...
1)Tells your freinds how you feel, make it emotional, let them know you're serious
2)Seperate from your freinds, when they need you, Don't show up, let them know there's a hole, a space missing when ever you're not arround.
I'm leaving CAA perminantly. i've wanted to do this for a long time but I've never gathered the courage to let go.

You are not alone, Kokoro. At times when you feel lonely, God is there for you.

Sometimes it's hard to depend on your friends or boy/girlfriends for the sense of security and company. I think I've gotten used to having friends who only call me only when they need the company or want something from me. But then again, perhaps I do the same thing to others (I hope not though -_-;; ).

But whatever it is, don't measure your worthiness according to how popular or how many friends you have. I've always been satisfied having just a few close friends who really care for me. You are beautiful and worthy in God's eyes and I will pray that you will see that for yourself as you grow in Him spiritually and faithfully. Hang on, there, feel free to PM me whenever you feel lonely, OK? ^_^
