Sorin:
No matter how blissful, or how dreadful. You have no say in any of it. Since we don't have a 'free-will' and we can't choose when and if we
want to be born, anymore than we can choose to be born rich or poor, or when we are to die.. God creates vessel of honour, and vessels of dishonour. And there's nothing you/we can do about it. This is basically a Scriptural fact. But when you are that 'Vessel Of Dishonour' it is kind of difficult to "Praise God". For he hasn't given you much that's worth praising.

This is basically the boat I find myself in right now.

Oh Sorin, I would not be so hard on yourself, if I were you. There is much wisdom and virture, knowing clearly where you are on the path to righteousness. You not only know where you are, but also your failings and in my mind that probably put's you further along the road than you realize.

Hang in there brother. Only the strongest face the toughest challenges.

Love in Christ,
Darren

Did the girlfriend not work out??

Ray has stated he has praised God for his pillow.  Maybe you could start there.  Start w/ what you do have and not what you do not...

When all else fails, praise Jesus for what He did for us.  Praise Him for HIS faithfulness.  Praise Him for what WILL BE.  Praise Him for tomorrow-you don't know what is around the corner.  It may be just what you want. 

STAY POSITIVE----don't be negative.   JUST DO IT!!!!  Its called FAITH!

Do not dispair.  Be patient and know that God is working everything to good.  Do a word search in bible software esword, power bible, or any online sites and put in to find the exact phrase "but God".  See how many times things were going bad then all of a sudden "but God" changes everything or causes new things.  
Read 1 Kings 19:9-18 and see how even Elijah fell into dispair but God sent his angels and lifted him up with the truth.  Think about how Moses felt wronged, Abraham acted too quick because he thought God was not going to bless him, David cries out throughout the Psalms but God brings all of them to a level place.  Stay focused on God and believe and the peace of God that surpasses our understanding will guard you through this time.  
Believe.  Trust God.

  Sorin   we are all vessels of dishonour  but we have one that dwells with in us that is the vessels of honour  that is Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.  Maybe He is showing and teaching you something?  Are we not born on this earth to fail with out Him?  That is all we can do mess things up.  Peggy
