Well, I would like some sort of prayer I guess for all the good it seems to do.

I've been depressed for over 2.5 years since my best friend left me... actually... think of her as my only friend. Add to that she was the one person that I trusted 100% (and she did with me), and was hoping to one day get together with. It was not unreasonable to assume that as when I went to church, every time I was asked in my prayers to stand by her and her difficulties... that I would one day be with her.

Stand by her I did, even when people "attacked" her and depressed me like hell - but it made her happy that I was there for her when nobody else was (and I was genuinly happy to help her)... but I did not end up being with her, on the contrary, for these 2.5 years she refuses to talk to me - doesn't acknowledge my existance. So I feel I was lied to in church through my prayers. I have nothing.

Also during this time I have suffered family deaths, and health problems, and other cr*p.

I strongly feel that nobody is on my side - even God himself sometimes, as everyone else gets to have in some way what they wish for - and despite me struggling, I cannot attain even the basic things that everyone else takes for granted.

I always feel like... what's the point. I've put up with other peoples problems, solved them, and I have nothing - no happiness. In particular, since my best friend left me (she was the only person that ever made me happy in all my life).

To say that "there are plenty fish in the sea" is an insult and a lie. I have tried for these years to get her to even talk to me, but have been 100% unsuccessful.
 
Hi D,
Speaking from some life experience in the way of broken relationships, I can tell you that you never can trust another human being 100 percent, and never trust that human advice or counsel is 100 percent fool proof either, if we do disappointment will surely follow.
God told us to seek first His kingdom and because if we put Him first, all other things will be added to our life.
This can be especially true when seeking the one you will spend your life with. You always have to have God first in order for relationships to work out because our emotions and human feelings will lead us down the wrong path most of the time, and usually 98 percent of the time to the wrong person.
And believe me those "feelings" can feel soooo right and yet be completely wrong in the eyes of God. Thats why in the end they fizzle out or end in hurt.

If you will take this person off of the throne and replace her with God you will begin to find peace and abundance in loving life that you've never encountered before, and out of the overflow of your relationship with Him will come the person that He planned for you to spend your life with, in His time. If you seek God, put Him first, you will get His best for your life and you won't have to settle for something that He might have never intended which will leave you brokenhearted and depressed.
Again, Seek God and keep God first because all other ground is sinking sand, then you'll notice your outlook and priorities will change.
 
D, i'll keep you in my prayers! I know how you feel, i do. Just always know that God is always there! there might be difficult times, when we think He's not there, but He's just testing our faith, and preparing us for our new home, in heaven.
