I am a single father of two sons who live with me. I love them and try to provide the best for them in life.
We are Christian and all that and attend church when we can; altho they go with their mom on weekends.
Lately i have become incredibly depressed by everything going on. I was mostly unaffected by Covid, I have prepped a large stash of stuff just in case, and for the most part my life isnt too objectively bad.
Dating has been hard and i am beginning to despair of ever finding a partner in this area and with the morass of online dating sites being the suckholes that they are.
Ironically being depressed and trying to date isnt the best combo so im just spiraling down on the regular.
I have prayed to God to send me someone who he intends for me, but thus far no luck.
I feel like theres nothing left for me in life. Nothing i want or need. I am hanging in there for my sons and my parents but you can only live for someone else for so long, and i feel my time is growing short.
Any advice to cheer me up? At 43 i have too far left to walk to do it alone but feel as though ive walked too far already to make finding someone a possibility.
And with all the vaxxing im not keen on meeting someone whos going to randomly sudden death on me, so im there at the viewing saying "im just thankful for the 6 great months we had together."
Ive lived and worked with pain and i just dont want any more, and God knows what ive been through...
Not if done properly! I'm simple and to the point when offering the Word to people! My approach is as follows: " Hi, I'm giving away the Good News of JESUS CHRIST, I have a GOSPEL of John if you would like one!" I give away 1,200 every three months or 400 a month! I've done it for over 5 years with no hostile people! I've confronted Satanists, Wiccans, Agnostics, Witches, Atheists Jews, and Jehovah's Witnesses! The WORD is free and speaks for itself!
the problem isn't making people hostile. the problem is depending on how you approach it you either end up coming off as crazy or just annoying. just FYI, I don't mean this as a personal attack, so I apologize if that's how it's coming across. I understand you're trying to do something good and I'm trying to explain how your approach might be counterproductive.
Don't understand your viewpoint! Can't get much simpler and easy than giving something to someone for free! I'm thinking you might be the type that would claim I'm harassing you for offering you something free! I've done this for over 5 years and have had no complaints from anyone! It's my approach that makes my witnessing very simple and to the point! All people that follow JESUS should be spreading the GOSPEL in some way shape and form! This is the End time, and people are very happy to get the Gospel of John and a lot of them ask for more than one, so they can give one to a family member or a friend!
