Life Could Be Worse But Still Not Much of a Purpos

[benchpresser]

Hi Everyone

I regularly pray to God but I know that there are times that I need prayers said for me from others.
Many don't know this but I have been fighting depression on and off.
Today has felt like one of the depressing days.

I'll explain the reasons I get this way. Well you see I'm originally from California and have lived there most of my life.
Now I have lived here in Illinois almost 3 years this year. I have a few friends back in California plus my family.
They are all about 2000 miles away from me now. Since I have lived here in Illinois I really haven't made any friends.
One of the biggest factors could be that I became blind in 2006. People in general think that I am different and stare at me
and don't approach me.

Whenever Sweetrainbow (Anna) goes anywhere with her sister and brother I don't get to go.
They and her Dad don't care too much for me.

Now at the current time Anna's parents are slowly passing away and my Grampa most likely has developed Alzheimer.
When my sisters kids were younger they were closer to me and they would look up to me.
Now that they are older they have grown away from me and into their own worlds.

The regular contacts that I have on my e-mail list at home haven't been writing me for the last couple of months.
I have been trying to make friends at Christian forums but I am told by most that their lives are really busy
and they don't have time to write. And most that have written are just a few sentences, it's like reading a quick memo.
I thought it would be easier to make friends at forums but that isn't the case. Some say they care for me
but on the other hand have nothing to do with me.

And the last thing is I was supposed to be covered for my medications but as it turned out I am fully covered with one, the second
needs to be for fully and the last there is a big mess with it now.
I now maybe need to use half my pay for the month and not much to save for a trip to see my family and friends back in California.
Basically I live in the room most of the time.


So I ask you to pray in the name of Jesus about these things. I know my life could be worse but on the other hand
it doesn't seem to have much purpose.

All prayers would be appreciated.
your friend trebor

You are certainly in my prayers. Hang in there brother.

God bless!

Trebor, I haven't been on here too much lately. I'm sorry I haven't replied before now. First off, know that God loves you SO MUCH!!

Romans 8:38, 39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Next, He knows and promises to help us:

Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Psalms 121: 1, 2 I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

And, help us right away:
Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

I will pray for you.

I will pray for you for strength and understanding. God bless you! God keep you safe! Be well be happy for tomorrow is promised to no one! Be strong in your faith! In good times and in bad! In God's name I pray for you! God watch over this man, give him strength to endure this time in his life! God help him see the help that he offer's other's! In Christ's name I pray! Amen.
I remember when I first joined the NAVY in 1983,I was away from family and friends,I was afraid and sad at times. I find that when I'm down I am usually thinking too much. Maybe you need to find a hobby or other outlet that utilizes your attributes? I like to work in my shop building thing's,even if it's something I just take apart later on.Be well my friend!
