I have a problem admitting issues I have to my friends and church family which is why I am coming here. For sometime now I have been battling depression.The last 2-3 years have been fairly rocky but I am not here to complain about that. I went through these things for a reason and I know it will add to my testimony. I have in no way lost what Job lost in his wife but I can relate to him. July 2011 I had to break things off with my ex-fiance. We had ended the engagement in Jan.10 and got back together a year later. I have struggled with this off and on as I see her just going further away from God and I have blamed myself for it a lot despite knowing it was her choices. I lost my job in January and have been unable to find work since then. My uncle who I loved and cared very much about died unexpectedly before my birthday. I have managed to continue college as I am going so I can be used as a youth pastor or in a different ministry if God calls me there. I have been involved with the youth at my church since fall 07 and we have changed youth pastors many times. I have hoped for the past few years I would get the chance to be in charge of it. Last year the pastor's son was given the opportunity to do it. He was 20 and I was 26, so that rubbed me wrong a bit and got me a bit jealous. I repented of that and then September of this month they hired a new youth pastor and I have pretty much been basically cast out and its been taken away from me. This summer I tried to show them how much I wanted it, and obviously with my life so chaotic and fragile right now that would have been a bad decision for them. I rambled on a bit more than I wanted to but hopefully this can help in your prayers for me. Thank you in advance and God bless. Post Reply

The word of God says in Ps 126: 6 - "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" Ps 30:5 "For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning." Post Reply
