Frustration and dejection

Postby RedMage » Mon Feb 12, 2007 2:10 pm

Since the thing I made reference to here, I've pretty much been a wreck. The pain is terrible. I keep, I don't know, sort of looking to God and saying, "I thought I did what you wanted, why don't you make it better now?" But it doesn't get better. I know my attitude is all wrong, I know I need to be more willing and cheerful in my obedience, but it's so hard.

Nobody understands why I did what I did. Well, I shouldn't say nobody; my dad is the only one I've told, and he sure doesn't understand. He's trying to be supportive, but he doesn't like seeing my so upset and he thinks I brought it on myself because he doesn't see why God would have told me what I thought/think He told me. And there's nobody else I can talk to about it, except my youth pastor next Friday, and if he doesn't get it either I think it'll just kill me. If I told all of you about it in detail, I guarantee many if not most of you wouldn't understand at all. I don't understand much myself. On one hand, I want somebody to talk me into thinking I made a mistake because I never wanted to do what I did in the first place. On the other hand, I don't think in my heart it was the wrong decision and even if I changed my mind I don't see any way to "fix" things.

Anyway, this has made me pretty much completely listless and unmotivated, and now is kind of a critical time for me school-wise. Getting anything done is a huge struggle. Everything seems to pointless. And I've started questioning what my motives are for all of my goals and desires, whether they're just what I want or what God wants for me.

There's a way of thinking I could allow myself to adopt, a hope I could cherish, that might make things a little better, a kind of crutch I could lean on. But I'm trying desperately not to because it probably isn't healthy for me, I could just get hurt even more in the future.

Um...yeah, I need prayer really bad. Wow, maybe I should have just posted that and spared us all the rambling.

I'm quite curious as what it was that you did now... I'm open to PM if you'd like, but since you've only told one person thus far I can understand it being something quite personally. But still, even if I don't know what it is, I'll be praying...
