Shared this on .com but figured I’d post this here as well (yes it’s a copy-paste from there directly but meh)
Anyways…
Just felt like dropping this for someone who needs it, I know many of you are like how I used to be in here and just in a complete rut with no hope in sight so figured I’d give whoever that person who needs this a bone, as it doesn’t affect me if people think I’m dumb and crazy for sharing this as I’ve got IRL responsibilities take care of now, for everyone else you can just read past this.
For the person who needs it, to give an insight in how I used I was honestly more far gone than rest of you to be honest, I went through my fair share of scrapes in of my own right but critically I made a lot of poor life choices also in of my own right, and they all caught up to me pretty much.
Because of how absolutely crippled I was by life due to the suffering I’ve experienced at the hands of people, I developed a fear of human beings in of themselves (like deathly afraid of them), and I was isolated for years just completely traumatised to be honest, and the hopelessness of not being able to get out of my nihilistic circumstances only compounded to that.
Because I was desperate and had nothing else at this point, I just made a cry out to God in one last ditch attempt, essentially praying for Christian brothers and sisters to walk in faith, as well as a better church, because the one I previously attended (when I rarely did) was really systematic and routine based, and it just bore no fruit in my life.
Anyways, whilst I was trying to get out of my rut and start to get over my fear of human beings going out and about, I was walking down the street and just randomly bumped into some guy who was asking me where the nearest McDonalds was
, and we just got talking from there.
As we were talking, out of nowhere randomly he just asked me if I was a Christian, and I was blown away, especially considering at least where I’m from if you’re Christian down here publicly it can get *very interesting* if you know what I mean if you’re not careful.
Low and behold, off the back of that, not only did I meet him and forged a bond which is dear to my psyche, by God’s grace through him I found my feet at the church I currently attend now, and forged many treasured friendships and people I’ve met I wouldn’t change for anything.
Fast forward with that prayer getting answered, my life has completely transformed ever since. As described previously, my years of isolation ended suddenly just like that, found community again, now actually working and enjoying it, being a light in other people’s lives, actually making it, and if you knew me before that was for sure out the question simply put for how mentally unstable I was. All it took was God answering one major prayer and made more progress in a matter of months than I have in years, living a life now actually worth living and contributing to society.
I’m sure some of you here have probably cried out to God in similar circumstances, and questioned why he never did anything, I was also that person in of myself, and simply what worked for me was just seeking him diligently. If you try to use him and just put him down afterwards, or just do things half-heartedly and not prepared to suffer, you’ll get nowhere. It took me a lot of patience and grit to get this point, but as you can see it clearly paid off.
Remember this.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11
As this applies in my life, it can easily in yours also. Whatever you’re going through and are in need of and are desperate in prayer, just remember:
“seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Matthew 6:33
Just wrote this for whoever needs it as I said, the rest can just repfarm and spam DNR under this I dunno.
Have a good one folks, God bless.
