This is a really stupid prayer request.

...but I feel like venting somewhere.

*abridged version*

Lately I've been getting hit by a ton of minor annoyances, ranging from getting cheated on Amazon.com to friends being unable to hang out due to uncertain circumstances. It's getting to the point where I don't see the logic in getting out of bed. I don't have a specific prayer in mind, but anything that can help me get out of this pit would be much appreciated.

I feel ya, dude...sometimes life just seems so crazy and out of whack its like, "Why even bother doing anything today?"

The answer is pretty simple...and also pretty harsh because its something that is hard for people to grasp...myself included:

We aren't here to hide in our rooms because life is crazy.

Its easy to get bogged down with annoyances, emotional problems and even unreliable people.

Personallly, I looooove to sleep. You give me an afternoon and tell me I have nothing to do until tomorrow I will sleep for a good thee to five hours easily. Sometimes I find my dreamworld to be way more inviting xD;

But I guess I realized when school started back up again, and my crappy summer was over that I wasted my life a lot over the past 8 months. I would literally sleep right through seeing people that I cared about just so I could get Zs...

Personally, I feel when I was in that rut, that part of my life I wasn't being who God wanted me to be... I was being selfish with my time, my energy (or lack thereof) and I was only seeing people on my terms.

(geez that's a lot of "mys" and "I"s in that paragraph) Which I believe is exactly my point...this life, this existence we have...its not ours alone. And we have to grasp that and own up to it. We in this day and age are so selfish and "me-oriented" that we forget who we are here for and what we are here for.

Our existence isn't something that should satisfy our own needs and wants... Our existence should be sacrificing daily who we are, what we do, who we meet; our plans, our future etc... To the one who has it all already, right?

So... remember the next time you feel like staying in bed all day that you are a very special person. You're the only Crossfire in the world. And if you allow God to use you everyday he will. In small ways, big ways...and maybe in ways that you will never ever see.

Make an impact that only you can make. :)

That's the way I think anyway. I'm the only ChristianKitsune in the world, after all.

^^^^^^^^
That.....what she said right there. I'll be praying for you okay dude? I understand what that feels like.
Something that helps me is thinking of good and positive things that happened in my day. Even if it's something small, like having your favorite sammich for lunch today. These little things actually can help you not feel so glum about your day cause...you start focusing more on the positive aspects of life rather than the negative. Again, you'll be in my prayers. :)
