I think the first step is realizing that what you’re feeling is normal, but it’s not coming from God. God is the creator and giver of life, and He loves you. God is love.

It may feel like God stops listening sometimes. If you’re a believer, sometimes it seems God is using this silence to see where your faith is. Do you trust Him when you can’t feel Him?

And if you’re not a true follower of Jesus, sometimes God’s silence is His method of steering you to a path that leads you to Him.

Put your faith entirely in Him. If you do, then you know that an all powerful God doesn’t make mistakes. He made you with a plan and a purpose for you.

Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I care, and so do others. Come back and post again and I will share about what I know about our God.

What do you do when you realize that God has stopped or won’t listen to you? What do you do when you know that God hates you and creating you was a major mistake?

I am sure God doesn’t care if I take my life, why would he when I was a mistake that he created?

Pay no attention to the enemy, J. The enemy has no power; the God of Abraham is eternal and powerful.

I pray for you, J. I pray for you today that the God who promises to provide all we need provides what you need, and you find joy in peace in what He provides.

I came here just like those before me, all, I mean all hope is lost. I’m 54, raised my children as a single parent, standing by now watching them struggle to survive and I can’t help them because I can’t help myself. I’ve lost so much in this life, homes, apartments, cars etc., etc., relationships, etc., etc., jobs., etc., etc., my confidence and finally my peace. I know I am among the throngs of millions that live this experience…an uneasiness rests up me, loneliness I live with everyday and I am facing yet another eviction with little options left my greatest fear has come upon me homelessness with no where to turn. I’ve seen the madness homelessness forces people to endure and it scares me to know that’s where my life is headed. I’ve tried everything, no services available for me, I’m in the middle of some crazy place in life, too old for most things, and not old enough for other things. I wrestle with my faith and this condition I’m living in, depression is like an old enemy sitting on the wall mocking me. Screaming do it, do it, what are you waiting on! what more evidence do you need, your life is over!

What would you do when all hope is lost? When you have no license, no money, no job. When you are and going to be for years a burden on the one family member you have left. Is it better to be hated and resented; depressed and lonely for 3 more years? I would rather end this. The only thing that stops me is not knowing what is on the other side. I’m not concerned with hell but I am worried about not being able to move on to the next plane.. To be stuck here as I was when I was alive. Useless angry and alone. I believe in some higher power, or the connectivity of life that makes that force real. I would hate to find out it is as unforgiving as some would say and damn me to some eternal purgatory until my soul is no longer. Either way I guess I’m stuck here, passing some test of pain and humility until I am old and completely broken and utterly alone. Only then, when my inner fire has been completely sapped will ‘God’ let me go.

There’a no sales pitch. I think that your googling means you still haven’t found peace.

I’m terribly sorry for your loss. I know people in our church’s Grief Share have found a way to share their faith through their trials. I pray you find what you are seeking.

I buried a seventeen month old girl, I tried for six years to get. I watched them put that ink casket in that hole in the cemetery and I know then and there that God, wherever he was, did not give damn about me. I turned away from the nonsensical teaching that forced into me as a child, I grew up. I realized that if God is truly Omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, then he must be a very cruel God. See I also Googled in “when all hope is lost”, but I don’t buy what you are selling, not this time.

Lan, hang in there, and I’ll say prayer for you. Our God is indeed an awesome God, and when you turn toward Him again, the parable of the prodigal son shows that our Father will come running toward us. That is love.

Sheila, thank you for your insight. Paul told us that whatever we are experiencing in this life is “light and momentary troubles” compared to the joy that awaits us.

God is indeed faithful and His timing is perfect. Wait on the Lord and take heart because he who has promised is faithful. Joy comes in the morning but troubles don’t last always, we know God is preparing us for something greater and we have to wait patiently on Him.

I am so glad I came across this, I googled what to do when all hope is lost, and here I am, I have been doing some things I shouldn’t have, and I read this and cried, I havent prayed or been to church in a while, and instead of sinning to rid of my troubles, all I needed was gods love, because no matter what happens, he will never leave me, and for now on I want have a strong relationship with my father.
