Just Feeling A little Down

[nychaelasymone]

I've grown to understand that God allows us to go through things for us to grow. Right now, I'm just tired. I don't feel like studying or working on my thesis and I'm supposed to graduate this June. I'm suffering from a broken heart and I'm just tired of my life right now. I know we all go through and we all get tired but it just seems like I visit this place more often than not. God what do you want from me.....I must be missing the mark because I'm tired of being in this place in my life. I can't hear you God!!!! I just can't!!!! I've neglected my family, tried to love someone who doesn't love me, not on top of my priorities like I was in the past......I'M TIRED. Lord please tell me what you want.........I don't like this place anymore.......I won't let myself fail these courses because it was a long time coming but I need some peace. I think Amel Larrieux said it best for me........I'm weary, tired of being strong, pretending I'm made of stone just to protect myself from receiving any more broken bones.

I pray that you feel better Nychael. I am kind of in the same boat too. I am in grad school also ( I have a while before I finish though), and I don't think I am going to make it through my statistics course. I am working on a project that will determine my final grade and I am at a dead end. My teacher is foreign so I don't understand him. Everywhere I turn for help I have no luck. Not even a tutor has helped. My project is due Thursday, plus I am now sick. I am beginning to think it just not meant for me to have a Master's degree. If I would not have made such stupid choices when I was younger, I would have finished grad school years ago. THe mistake I made back then I am still paying for now. Fulltime work and school is just too much

Keep your heads up sisters.

You are going through some trials, and God is definately there, but I know sometimes He doesn't feel as close. Just know that this is a season in your life, and that your joy will come!

God wants you to fully depend on Him, and be desperate for Him...so I think you are getting close to that stage emotionally where you will rely totally on Him.

College can be a time where we feel at the ends of our ropes. Often we are overly tired, and our minds are spent. It really tests our endurance, but God sees this and He is preparing you for other event in life when you will have to be strong.

It is also hard when a woman can't find the kind of love she desires and deserves. But you know what, Jesus wants us all (even married girls) to have that love and intimacy in Him above all. He is most likely calling you to dealve deeper into a need for Him, a love for Him, excitment for Him....
He will fulfill your needs once you get to that point, I know from experience that your joy and life will be full!

It is okay to be desperate at times, it shows you need God! And He likes that! It's okay to cry out to Him, David did this many times in Psalms.

I will pray for you. How is your prayer time and time to read the Word? Not that I don't want you to do your schoolwork, but I suggest taking time off from it (even if you think you don't have time) to go to a place of solitude and read your Bible and meditate on God's word. Do this every morning before doing anything else. If you do this, try doing it at night or mid-day, or change up your location. Show God you are making a sacrifice to be with Him, even if you don't feel exactly exuberant at first.

I am suggesting this because it has recently worked for me. My purpose is being revealed and my troubles a lessened. A watning, Satan will work on you when you begin any new venture in Christ. This happened to me too, so much so that I literally cried out for God at one point and rebuked Satan. You will see a change in the end....remember you are created special and we all care for you.

 

[nychaelasymone]

Thank you for your kind words. I know God is real and I think I'm at the point where I know I have nothing but him to rely on. I can only be mad at myself. It just so amazing that God could be so loving and so kind and even when we forget Him, He never forgets us.

Sisters,

No matter what the circumstances, one thing is certain-GOD said that HE would NEVER leave you or forsake you. NEVER!!!

As Melodee said, GOD sometimes must allow us to endure trials and hard times so that we can grow. HE will also remove people from our lives if we focus so much on the other person (friends, boyfriends, etc.) and ignore/forsake HIM (HE is a jealous GOD). More now than ever, pray and read the Word of GOD to keep you strong.

Even though it doesn't feel like it, this too shall pass . . .

It sounds like you are at a turning point in your life. A person who does not love you back does not deserve you but most young men and many old do not know how to love because they are still trying to find themselves. I beg my girls in my workshops to NOT get into a serious relationship until they fully ready mentally which to me mean when done school etc. unless the guy is VERY mature. The reason I say mentally because the younger and/or immature they are the more junk you got to put up with. It is very hard to work, go school and try to keep someone happy especially if they are not happy.

I believe God has great, great things for your life and He has allow this to happen to clean out the old to begin a new life. So happy you are graduting and you are going to finish this Thesis we are not going to let this turn back the time on your destiny. Often when God is about to take us to the next level old things that are not good for us must GO. Your degree and new beginning we know it is hard emotionally must of us have been there but you are able to move on from the power of God's love. Praying for you and only wish the best. We should pray for the man too that he gets a relationship with God and do not make committements to any women he is not ready for it.

Nychael and Nikki, at least you were accepted to grad school. Imagine applying and being rejected by two schools? Nikki my sister is had the same problem. Did know how she was goin to make it through stat. Seh is in an excellerated grad program. She made it. She got a B. What is the name of your text book? When is the class over? Do have tutorial books?

Nychael - You are going to stay in the pot until all the impurites are chipped away. You are in my prayers. You will be gold when you come out. I have been in the pot so many times. ........I'm weary, tired of being strong, pretending I'm made of stone just to protect myself from receiving any more broken bones.

Are you protecting your bones from God or man?

Ladies, I am on the edge of the pot trying to keep my balance I could fall in any direction. But guess what..... I'll survive and trust God. No matter the pain. I know that it is difficult.

angelk316 - That is my sister's song.... Especially when she talks about how she had that big red sticker on her on her door. Then when she talks about how she used take care of daughter, and now her daughter takes care of her. My sister's eyes glass over.

A few quick questions:

When you were seeing the person who broke your heart, did you spend more or less time with GOD?

If the answer is less time with GOD, then don't you see it as a blessing for this person to be out of your life?

As well, perhaps God broke ya'll up, because you stopped seeking Him, or were about to stop seeking Him if the relationship with you and this gentleman continued.



Why did you neglect your family?


Anyhow, you will make it.

 

[melodee]

The Father knows that these ladies are going through this tempest, but the weeping will soon be over. Please focus on him, and realize each of your trials are unique and customized to make you stronger and more obedient.

Listening to inspirational music is a great idea. Sometimes to bring you up as angel suggested, and sometimes down to your knees.

Nychaelasymone, God bless your heart!! I understand your tiredness. I know that you know that God understands it too-as we cannot hide anything from Him. You are being honest. Stay honest with Him. As a side note take a little time to pamper yourself. Make sure your are eating as healthy as you can. College is stressful. Do little indulgent things that may lift your spirits and encourage you to praise God. Like a nice bubblebath with candles? Feed your spirit as well as your body. Take a little time to love yourself. Hope I am not sounding too bossy.

I pray that you feel better Nychael. I am kind of in the same boat too. I am in grad school also ( I have a while before I finish though), and I don't think I am going to make it through my statistics course. I am working on a project that will determine my final grade and I am at a dead end. My teacher is foreign so I don't understand him. Everywhere I turn for help I have no luck. Not even a tutor has helped. My project is due Thursday, plus I am now sick. I am beginning to think it just not meant for me to have a Master's degree. If I would not have made such stupid choices when I was younger, I would have finished grad school years ago. THe mistake I made back then I am still paying for now. Fulltime work and school is just too much

Nikki1971 Please don't be so hard on yourself. At least your are going for your Masters. That is an accomplishment right there!! Sounds like you need to rejuvenate yourself also. Things have a way of working out. Sometimes more challenging things take a little more strength but it will be worth it. You will soon look back on this time and realize "Hey!! I MADE it!!" God is good.

The name of my book is Introduction to Statisical Methods and Data Analysis by Micheal Longnecker and R. Lymon Ott 5th edition. My class is over Thursday. I am going to need a Miracle to make it

You are so right!! I'm going through some inner struggles right now and I want to make the time and effort to seek God, and it's HARD but I will make the full effort.

What do you do when you have so much other things on your mind though??? How can you concentrate on the Word of God??
