Can't shake off being worried and sad .....

[sammm]

Hi all,

In the last couple of months I lost my job, a job that I loved coming to work for and worked with a lot of good people. I have now started a new job which is not so secure.

Lately I have been very sad and worried about the future, I just can't seem to shake it off, I read the Bible where it says not to worry, I pray to God to take this fear and sadness away from me, but it stays.

Its really crippling me, sometimes I have trouble falling asleep.

I sometimes manage to convince myself all is well, and that God will look after us as he always has, but those same feelings keep coming back, it is affecting my self confidence,

I really don't know what to do and am feeling quite weak now, I do not tell anyone about it, not even my wife, as I feel I should be the strong one.

Brothers and sisters please pray for me.

God Bless you all.

Hi sammm, welcome to the Worthy forums.

Losing you job that you loved has had an effect on you. This is the case with many people today, some of which post here.

When we lose something we care about we often go through a grieving process, and is not unusual. This is part of what

I think I am reading in what you say.

For Christians who know the Bible and can read the signs of today there is cause for both some apprehension and more joy.

We need to realize that the upcoming difficult times are designed by our Father to help bring many to Jesus.

Consider this verse, and sincerely acknowledge this.

Luke 12:24 "Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!"

Mathew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

hello sammm

Feels like God kinda walked out the door or is He even listening...?...I know the feeling but God allows us to go thru the valleys. Thats where we grow. We develop character. Let your faith grow. And faith will help you move forward in this. God can uplift you. Never give up hope. Believe and trust that God is working your life out. God is our hope in everything.

blessings,

Hi sammm, Welcome to Worthy. I would like to ask you to please talk to your wife. I wouldn't want my husband to deal with such feelings alone. She needs to have the opportunity to help or support you in this. Remember you aren't going through life alone, God has blessed you with a helpmate, it may just be her turn to be the strong one and be there for you. Just remember God so loved the world He gave His only son. I believe he still loves the world just the same. I pray things will turn around for you real soon.
