Im lost and confused. I dont even know wheter im coming or going.Everything is a mess
- Thread starter nadine1977canada
- Start date
Be encouraged!! I myself went through a similar situation. I lost my father over two years ago now, my sister was killed last year, and I got sick and stopped working shortly after. My uncle had a brain tumor after that. In the midst of all of this, I was completing my MBA. I finally finished and started job searching again and interviewing and nothing. After a year of this, I got an EXCELLENT offer, which FAR exceed my expectations. So God is in control. This whole experience has made me stronger and drawn me closer to my heavenly father. Keep praying and trusting, the Lord knows best and He is working it out for you. I will also lift you and your family up in prayer. God Bless!
P.S. Sing, shout, fast, pray (alone and with others), and read God's word daily. This is what carried me through.

Baby, you're not lost and I'm speaking to you as an older sister looking up to you; for in you I see wonder and greatness.
If it were not there, you would not be feeling as you do. For when we know that's there's something more to our life, we will feel a sense of 'lost' for we cannot lose what we did not have in the first place.
A lot has been pulled from you...especially on your faith. And all you need is a 'refill'. Death of any family member or even a friend, leaves a void, for the life of someone dear is no longer here where they used to be in our lives. That's where some of the 'lost' feelings are coming from. Feeling confused is only because we wonder, what can ever take 'their' place?
Well, nothing can replace a loved one. BUT we can allow God to fill that void. This means we have to move on to the next level or our growth and our Destiny. That's where the answers are...we have to move on. We cannot stay where we are. And we have to choose to move.
God word says, "..why sit we here til' we die?" And Jesus did tell us to "...occupy until He comes."
Take His hand sweet one....Baby, take His hand. For it is better than to fear an unknown path; it is far better than to stay in a 'place' of void.
Dearest one...take His hand. For He has greater plans for you. Things which you know not, but will. Things for better, not worse. Things to bring you closer to Him...and one day in the distant future, your Dad and Granddad, you will see again.
In the meantime, show off what your 'Daddie' taught you, while he was here on earth with you. Show the world the wonderful men in your life who once walked this earth, by living all that they taught you. For you are their living legacy and they are depending upon you to carry it all through.
Make a liar out of all the the mis-conceptions about us as Blacks. Make the devil take back all of his lies about your family and choke on them. You have the goods to do so and you also have God on your side with Legions of angels and the Holy Spirit of God All Mighty to back you up.
Baby, God has great plans for you, and this is not an old worn out spoken 'cliche'. It's the Lord's truth. He cannot lie.
I love you...I have prayed for you and God has heard. All of Heaven knows about you, and they are waiting to see the best that's yet to be, in you.
Loving you in prayer....

Great testimony Cheeks
I haven't lost a parent so I don't know that hurt but I do know pain and worry and feeling lost. While I was in the situation I didn't understand but it's now that I can say that God was always in control and he worked it out for my good.
Many times when we have degrees sometimes we tend to lean more on our education and trust more in the natural, and for you maybe God is putting you in a place that you must solely trust and depend on him. He's showing you that no matter how many degrees I'm still your source.
Repent and ask him to forgive you if you've not put him first. Sometimes we do this and not realize it. Trust him totally during this season and speak to your situation. Life and death is in the power of the tongue. Tell your situation who is in control and who's holding your future.
Psalms 24:1,
1-The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
Began to praise him and worship him not for anything but just because of who he is. I'm a witness you can't praise and worship God and be depressed at the same time. He is going to bring you out, but you must act like you know he is a God that CAN.
For I heard Moses ask a Question, Lord who shall I say sent me.
God; Tell them I AM... I am whatever you need me to be, a way out of no way, a provider, a bridge, a comforter, a sustainer, a way maker, a job, a promotion......
But you must believe
Be blessed.

Ladies, I am getting shivers over here! GOD truly is whatever we need, whenever we need it (and often, before we even know we need it!).
GOD told me yesterday to start confessing something HE gave me in my heart several months ago, but I've been getting timid. I really needed to hear this today!!

Nadine I lost my mother so I understand your pain. I am only 32 and Sept. will be 2 years without the love of my bestfriend. But life does go on. When my pastor first told me that I had to move on I was so upset. How could life go on without my dear and precious mother? She was the WORLD to me. Now almost two years later I sometimes feel as you do - LOST. Losing a parent causing so a huge hole in our lives but God is the only one that can fill that gap. Sometimes I feel so alone and wonder what is my purpose now? What am I supposed to do with myself? Then there are times I feel like I am an orphaned child. But God is there throughout it all.
He is there to hold your hand. All you need is faith the size of a mustard seed. The mustard seed is the smallest seed. God works when we have FAITH. Your going to find a good job. FAITH. Your going overcome this depression. FAITH. Faith is the key. God loves you so much! He is there. Stay strong and hold on. A change is coming your way. Right now your in a process. Your breakthru and miracle is right around the corner. I'm still going thru my process but I refuse to give up. You are in my prayers and realize that you are not alone in this.

"The Difference" in us...is Jesus. He is our 'hope' when we have no 'hope'. He is the 'Keeper' of our Dreams; the "Keeper" of our souls; the "Keeper" of all that we are and "hope" to be.
Even when hope 'appears' not where one can see...
Yet "Hope" is...and always will be.
"Dreamer26", can I say it again? Let me say it. I cannot hold it back...
"Who shall I say, sent me?" Just say, "I Am"...
His name is Jesus...

Whatever it is God said to you, I set myself in total agreement...
Keep it between you and Him and those He leads you to; not letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing. For not all have 'faith'...
Just do what He says...

I am reading these posts crying right now. Nadine, sweetheart I feel your pain, and I would like to express my sympathy to you and your family for your loss. I also wanted to say that the title of your thread "lost and confused" has been somewhat my motto for a while now. I often feel just so tired and useless and ignored by God that I just stopped seeking him, even began to just be angry at him for letting so many things go wrong in my life. I just can't understand the reason for creating a life only to have it filled with so much pain.
But I was browsing the board a few moments ago and happened upon your post. The title just stood out and looked as though it was something I wrote myself. So I decided to come inside the words of encouragement that these wonderful wrote for you speaking to my soul and my heart. I feel like if I just give life another chance, learn how to trust and lean on Jesus maybe I can truly live again.
You know life can knock you down so many times that you grow to tired and afraid to keep on trying to get up again. If it weren't for my children I probably would not get out of bed most days. That sense of hope that I used to hold onto so strong, that kept me so brave was just beaten out of me.
I'm sorry I really don't mean to highjack your thread, But I really want to thank you for your post. Because of you I have read words that have awaken something inside of me, it is as if a fire has been lit and I really want to become that brave, stong, hopeful woman that I used to be. I really believe that we are going to make it sistah. I believe it. I BELIEVE that through this board, your post and the posts of all of the beautiful women who have written words of encouragement to you we have been blessed.
Thank you ladies.

"Deep Calls Unto Deep"...by the Spirit of God we are each drawn towards and we all 'pick up' on each other and make one flowing river of love.
So it is 'we' who thank you. For we are all in this this together. One body in Jesus, not one body all alone.
We have a lot of power within and flowing between us. A LOT of power.
Here I go again...."Who shall I say sent me?" Tell them "I AM"...
Who sent us here to one another? Who and by what manner? Who shall we say sent us to this thread? "I AM"....
Dreamer26, you just don't know what you started when you posted that 'word'...but it's about to 'blow up' some strongholds in territories that have been held captive far too long. Because 'Someone' has been sent to set free those held in captivity... That 'Someone'...who? "Jesus"...
"Who art thou O' great mountain?" (Zephaniah 4)
(To the mountain we say) "Mountain, know thou not that you are moved?"
"Who shall I say sent me...?"
Love it, Love it, Love it...A powerful word...fully in season. For precious Ladies, we are being 'sent' past each challenge that has been presented in this thread...sent to pass every challenge there is.
"Who shall I say sent me...?"
Us, each of us, sent by God... Sent into each other's lives, to encourage, to lift up, to re-build, to whip the enemy's neck into the ground, bind his works and strongholds and not think twice about it.
Sent by God, into each other's hearts to love and not condemn, for we all fall only to help each other up again.
Who shall we say sent us?
The devil needs to know that we've all be 'sent' by God Himself. God, Himself, seated in Heaven and here also within and beside us to bypass and destroy every evil work of the enemy. All by the 'One' named..."I AM."
We have all been given 'free-passage'. He has to back up away from us. The devil has to flee, when he sees you and me.
Who shall we say sent us?
This forum wasn't 'allowed' to be created and exist for the devil to have another platform to display his wheels and deals and works of deception. Nor was it designed for anyone to be denied acceptance and encounter rejection...of His healing love.
Who shall we say sent us?
God's unfailing love...His tender mercies hover over each of us with room enough for all who wish to come.
Sent by "I Am"...we are. Hidden under a bushel or under a rock? No we are not. We each carry a light that needs to be seen by those when they feel they have lost their way...

Thank you for standing with me, Shimmie! You are so right that not all have faith; I will pray for discernment. I pray for your continued strength; I pray that as you pour into others, GOD pours into you.
Shimmie, with that last post, you know you have a definite calling on your life-how encouraging!!
Nadine-thank you for sharing with us. Don't believe GOD for things that are possible-believe HIM for what is impossible in the natural world. Don't be afraid to ask for the miracle that you need.
