[__ Prayer __] Feeling Left Out

[julie89]

I'm feeling really left out and unwanted by my group of Christian friends. I've made efforts to connect with people and socialize, but so far it's been in vain. If anyone could please pray for the feeling of rejection and worthlessness that results from this to pass, I would be very grateful.

Julie, I'll keep you in my prayers, but I also want to share this with you: Long ago, I kept having a dream that I was outside of a church building, one of those old fashioned kind, white rectangle, bell tower and steeple topped with a cross in the front and windows down each side. I was outside of the church looking into the windows at all of my good friends inside. The dream was a window into my own feelings of being left out. I kept wanting to join the circle of friends inside, but I just couldn't. As it turned out, the Lord led me out of that church. It's kind of funny that my relationship with my friends at the church actually improved after I left. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time I suppose.

So, be prayerfully considering what might be happening here. If you are truly feeling left out, perhaps you need to look into a different church.

You have a point. Thanks for sharing that helpful anecdote.
