to add to what bros J and Eli shared, we also must beware of the devices of the enemy. The enemy is amaster of deception/counterfeiting the real thing. so most times He imitates God. God doese work in us by isolating us from those things that are wearing us down never from what is divenely good for you. However the enemy works in the opposite He seeks to isolate us into a place deprivation,loneliness and desperation. He pushes you into a corner where you feel hard pressed and hopeless, in all this trying to get you to curse God (Job), all he wants is for you end up seeking love, affection, self worth, sense of belonging and acceptence in all the wrong places. The enemy sometimes seeks to sift us (Peter) so lets be very sensitive to move of God and know when He is speaking and when a conterfeit voice is speaking.
here i will take the risk and be blunt when you feel "lyk God isolatin u frm every1 and u feel ,alone,betrayd by al e pple u knew,as if u neva existd?" I am sorry my sister but that sounds like the tactics of the enemy. God created us to be social beings and when feel the whole world has betrayed you the enemy is planting seeds of hatred in your spririt, because how are going to be able to express unconditional love when evryone around you is an enemy?. I urge you to attend walking free, that will help you deal with and put you on a firm foundation in your walk with God.
