Today is January 2, 2007. This has been the worst week of my life. Last week I entered into a deep depression state. I didn't want to eat, go outside, or do anything. All I wanted to do was to lay on my bed and sleep.

Finally three or four days ago I remembered something I read on this forum. It said:

This scripture found in Psalm 23:4 gave me strength to get up from bed and pray to Jesus to help me overcome this sense of hopelessness that i feel in my heart. I felt defeated, worthless. I even mentioned to my wife that I wanted to die. These were not very good thoughts. With God's help, I was able to get up from bed. Over the next few days, I still felt the pain in my heart. You see, I have a big problem that I have to face, and I don't know the solution. I will have to face this problem in the next few months and I am afraid of failing. If failure happens, that will mean an extreme change in my whole life, i will have to start right from the beginning, I will lose all my life, my house, my cars, my belongings, everything I've worked so hard to get.

Please pray for me that I will succeed in whatever happens and everything goes fine in my interview.

UPDATE: today is November 15, 2009 - since i wrote this post here almost three years ago, i am still facing my battle. I will have to face it in 2012. I will update with whatever the outcome is. but i am much stronger now. i know that whatever happens Jesus is with me. He gives me strength in knowing that i am not alone and he will take care of me. He always has. Jesus has given me soooo many blessings, i am very thankful for Him. Bless all his mercy.

I was about finishing an article on "how to deal with despair, hopelessness, and loneliness", to be published in our church bulletin tomorrow (August 22, 2011) when i stumbled on your posting and also read through some of the comments that have been posted already by responders. Hope is the seed for all life problems. The first and last time that God commanded the earth to bring forth herbs, plants, and trees, God did not plant any seeds in the soil. However, he commanded the earth to make sure that the herbs and plants and trees are fruit-bearing and the fruits have seeds in them. (You can see this in Genesis 1:11-12). Thereafter, the rule of seeds and harvests kicked in and will never end. In Genesis 8:22, the scriptures state this: "As long as the earth remaineth, seed time and harvests, .... shall never cease". having the seed of hope is the very first thing towards the miracle of harvest of solutions to human needs/problems. It does not matter the nature and magnitude of the need or problem. Hope is free and it can come from Godly people speaking into our lives or from the scriptures where God himself can speak hope into our lives. after we get hope (seeds of hope), we have to water the seed. The bible states in 1 Corinthians 3:6 "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Did you see the secret? Humans must gather seeds and plant them. Humans must water the seeds, but only God can give the harvest. Harvest is whatever we desire to reap as our harvest. It could be a restoration, a healing, a reconciliation, a break thorugh, etc. Watering the seeds simply means that we have to stay connected to people (not necessarily people named Appollos, but people who believe and confess the power in the word of God), as well as stay connected to the God who can give the harvest. Sooner or later, we experience positive changes in our lives that lifts us out of and away from our despair, depression, hopelessness, sadness, or loneliness. I hope this helps somebody out there, to the glory of God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

I am 30 year old girl. I have been swimming in the feelings of loneliness, emptiness, despair, hopelessness. I feel like a person was told that he would soon experience a disaster in his life. i wake up early morning with all those feelings inside my mind and heart. Even tears are not comforting ..I've lived my life following the wrong and lonely path. I've been raised like that… Now i reject that and i feel like i missed the train...i pray to God to stretch his hand and lift me outside this darkness and coldness...of course i have a reason for all those feelings but i don't know what or how or when the way out.. i need help or i wish i could just die...i wish death coz I've been feeling this way while God is not helping or showing me an exit...it took longer than it should be..

i think you answer yourself you own question.

why does this happen to you?

its very simple, as you said it yourself, you 'faith' - you feel like this because you have lost your faith.

You will see that once you start to gain your faith back, you will notice that peace that only Jesus can you give, no matter what tribulation you are going through right now. Have faith in the Lord that he will get you out of this.
