Hi everyone, I know there are many more important prayer requests on this forum, but I’m just feeling terribly sad right now. I know I have a lot of good things going for me in life right now, but I am feeling a lot of fear and anxiety and even hopelessness about the future. Most of my best friends from college are engaged or in serious relationships now, and I instead find myself, after a two year long relationship that ended almost a year ago, without any real hopes or prospects on what to do next. My ex and I really cared for one another and had a lot in common, and even though it is for the best the relationship ended when it did, since we could never agree on some pretty serious things, I can’t help feeling a lot of sadness about that relationship; the probability of meeting someone I care as much about and have as much in common with but who also shares my faith is basically zilch. Unfortunately after a year of trying to move on, I am saying this from experience.
I’m just struggling right now to find any peace with where I am in life right now, and any perspective on where God wants me to be. I don’t want to be jealous of my friends, but I can’t help wishing I could have the same peace and perspective on my life as they seem to have right now, and I certainly don’t want to spend the rest of my life preoccupied by these thoughts instead! Although right now it’s a constant daily struggle to think of anything else.
Please pray I can just have some peace and some idea of how to live up to who God is asking me to be without being so preoccupied with the future or the past. I feel like I been really struggling with my faith for these past few years and trying to trust in God when I can’t see where He is acting at all in my life right now. Thank you for your prayers.
