I had a really hard last few days. I felt like my life was coming to an end, because I felt like I had lost my purpose.
but I realize that I was putting my purpose somewhere it didn't belong. I had put my purpose in somebody, and I should never have done that. I don't know what anybody else wants to believe, but my purpose is in God. It should have been there the whole time.
I still miss the person, but I am no longer in the pit of shame and guilt that I had been consumed by. I don't have to be sad about it anymore, because God is in control of my life. he's never done me wrong, so even now when I am pushing through this, he won't leave me comfortless. And I can count on that 1000 times more than I could any person.

I felt like that a while ago too. Then my church promoted reading Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life. It's a really good book too, if you haven't read it.

Amen bro! I've been feeling like that too, though not as depressed per say. As the saying goes, Let Go and Let God and know that his purpose for your life is of higher calling! =D
Is all well with you, besides?

I endorse this.

I endorse this too.
Even though I'm not, how you would say? religious about my religion, God has always given me everything I deserved, wanted and treasured even when I hated him or was having a laugh with him (I need therapy I know). There are much worse causes to live for.

I, too, endorse this. God bless ya!
Although it'll take a major revolution in the way this site treats musicians before I do more than lurk again. D:
Major Says:
Amen! I am so happy God turned your life around!
Heiges Says:
Good for you!
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. 
mudbuck Says:
I used to trust in God, but then I realized that if I just trusted in myself and belief in humanity, the outcome would be the same.
Anyway, it's good that you found what works for you.

This is true. I've had God intervene quite forcefully in one of my most hopeless moments in life, and that experience left me no doubt that He would always be there to give me everything i need. It was a very true, very religious experience that can only be described as supernatural, and it was perhaps one of the most defining moments in my life.
It makes me happy to see he's bringing you around too~ :)
