Why do I feel so rubbish?

This sounds really perfetic and sad and stupid but I a beyond caring anymore. Im trying so so much to get close to jesus because he is completely amazing but I feel like there is something in the way, tempation and other stuff.. I feel really awful, whenever I pray to god there are no answers and I have given a few people advice about this sort of stuff on the website but now I need help.. I feel like I need a christian friend to help point me in the right direction. Im only 16 but I cant talk to my parents about anything.. I need god and jesus I feel like “why am I even on this earth” I have no purpose… Is it normal to feel like this? I thought we were meant to feel joy and love… By the way sorry for the essay! Please answer! Xx

Answer #1

well, if you really want my advice on that, I have to say that you have to open your heart :) I know it sounds cheesy, but you have to remember that he’ll be with you wherever you are.

god will always have your back. he’ll always hold you, but don’t get caught up in that. what is it that you’re having problems? relationships? friends? family? jobs? school? dreams?

relationships: you might wanna ask a new question for that lol (it would be too long)

friends: if you’re struggling with friends, try to start over with them :) the best way is to help them, because life is all about serving (being a christian)

family: if you’re struggling with family, try to sort it out with them by talking to them and ‘work it out’ just by conversation. don’t get too angry lol

school: Try to relax if you think you’re that busy. just put it all before god, and trust me, he WILL do miracles in your life!

dreams: god has a plan for you - eitherway, you’ll enjoy it :) whatever it is, just remember that your dream isn’t just for you, it’s for everyone else too. it’s to impact the lives of others through your talents. that’s what we mean by serving :)

I know exactly like you feel. I guess its not fair for us to depend on god to resolve our problems though. we have to. he gives us tests for a reason. to see if we can manage them and get through them. he gave us life for a reason. I dunno what reason that is but all I know is life is tough. its never easy for anyone. it may be easier but its not easy. I try not to blame god for my problems and stuff because its not his fault. its life’s fault. god wants the best for us and he loves us. thats what I always want to carry with me… no matter how bad life is etc just think how bad it would be to be dead or something. being dead is worse than being alive. when your alive you can explore the world. or even go out for a walk and get fresh air. you never know you could bump into a complete stranger that could turn into one of your bestfriends. Give life a chance. We will be happy soon. not to say im not happy im fine. but I still have problems. add me as a friend if you wanna talk some more x

Answer #3

In my opinion, there won’t be a response. However, if you consider a sign a response, perhaps you’re not doing something right…? There probably isn’t any “temptation” or “sin” in the way; maybe the person you’re praying too is just busy. I don’t mean this as a snotty or mocking way, just try again. Try harder, maybe?

Answer #4

I know exactly what your going through. I went through that about three months ago. You feel like you have no answers and that every prayer isnt gettin answered. you dont know why your even here. It’s normal. Dont worry, keep praying. In your hard times if you pray to God even when you feel like your getting no answers, its actually strengthening your bond with him. Because your stayin true to him even when you feel like theres no point. Everything will be okay, I promise :)

I think it is normal to be searching for the meaning of life at your age, and many people turn to religion as a result. But if you find that really isn’t working for you, it may be because deep down you have serious doubts. That’s normal too.

You can’t force yourself to believe things. If you are having doubts (which you are as is obvious from your post), explore those doubts. It’s ok to doubt and only a cult hell bent on controlling you would tell you otherwise. Maybe your doubts are right…maybe they’re wrong. But it’s only by taking them seriously that you will ever come to peace.
