Lost but here

I’m not sure where to start. I came from a big family and lost them all one by one. I lost my little brother in January. I have been struggling to live my life or even pray. I am alone for the first time in my life and whereas the world sees me as a success, I am afraid to do anything. I know I have to listen to God and I need to wake up. I figured this is a start.

Welcome dear friend and brother. So nice to meet you. Jesus is by far the best best-friend.
It's just Jesus and me and Amelia (my litlle cat) here, but I never feel lonely. It would think it an honor and privilege to be your friend.

Thank you so much, I definitely need some friends. I have a little pug who is basically a big cat 🙂

You entitled this thread as "Lost, but here," yet your profile says that you are a Christian, so I am assuming that by "lost" you meant as in not knowing what to do. If my assumption is correct, then the first thing to do is to just give yourself fully to God.

Like you, I come from a large family, and if you add in all of the nieces, nephews, cousins, etc., then it is in the dozens. Although most of them are still alive, I am basically dead to all of them in that they hate me, and have no fellowship with me whatsoever, simply because I am a Christian. I mention this solely to let you know that I understand something about being alone in this world myself. What I try to do is to focus on the reality that God is the potter, and I am the clay, and I trust that he knows what he is doing, even if things are way beyond my human comprehension at times. Just place your life in his hands. As scary as that may seem to be, it is the safest place of all to be.

Also, although, like you, I really have no natural family, I do, as do you, still have the family of God to cling to. In other words, you still have plenty of brothers and sisters in Christ here on this earth, so do not hesitate to reach out to us/them in your times of need.

Again, God bless you, and welcome.

Thank you for the nice greetings. You brought up that I’m a Christian but that I said I’m lost, you can be both and in different ways. Keith Green spoke and sang so heavily about so many in the church being asleep in the light. Sometimes we even close our eyes while still being in the light. Some of us even get lost from the herd, does that make us not part of the herd. When one gets lost from the herd they are still a part but they are in danger and can perish. It’s why the shepherd would leave the 99 to find the 1. So one can be a Christian and yet so lost.

I can tell you all the scriptures on death and loss and how it could be used and it can be. When you have lost everything, it’s different. Love is the most important thing in this world, it’s what grounds us and even what saved us. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son”, those words are the guiding proof of how important love is. Like you I have extended family I don’t really talk with, they are really only family in name but I wouldn’t even know them on a street. When you are brought up in love and our surrounded by it, you can so easily become crippled by its loss when it’s taken away. And when you wake up at 3 am and no one cares your awake because no one is there to give you a hug or yell at you to go back to bed, that’s when living the Job life makes you feel really lost.
Twice in my life I was prophesied over saying I would have the life of Job. Once my brother died and came back as he was given a choice to enter heaven or come back to save me from walking away from God. I had him for 8 more months until he was gone. Death will always be a part of life, but it’s love that helps you get through. When he takes it away, you can easily be a Christian and be lost in the light.
