Feeling 'behind in life' 😅

Hi

I feel behind so many times, I can't find even friends who are genuinely believers to God it's so heartbreaking, even relationships if I can just tell them about Jesus That I love Jesus let's wait until marriage they run away or even lough at me but yeah at least I have my genuine love from God 😊

Our timing is different from God's timing hence why we trust in Him. He knows best.

Yes i do feel behind my peers. I turned thirty this year and still havent found my life partner. My job also is moving places a lot so no stability, less chances to find someone.

Yes, I often feel like I am way behind my peers sometimes who are already married and expecting children etc. However, that's their path right now and not mine. Trying not to compare myself to others which is tempting at times. I am just trying to look forward to what God has in store ahead. It does say in Ecclesiastes that there is a time and season for everything so just trusting in those words. God will bring the right person forward in his timing. I hang onto that, still hope and belief yet.

Hola a todos

Well I think I'm getting tired of knowing new ppl, maybe when I turn 30 I'll give up, all that love and dreams and I never found my only one love.

I used to. But now I believe that God can redeem my years, and that it’s never too late to step into all the things God has called me to, and receive all the blessings and promises He has spoken over me! 🥰🙌🏼💕

Can totally relate. I am 33 yet still single 🫠🫠 am already so tired to know new ppl. It feels like an endless cycle of introductions, small talk, and figuring out if you click.. but in the end... being ghosted a lot 🥲😓

Looking for someone who loves Jesus more than anyone.

33 years old. My ex-wife literally left me because my job was nothing compared to her friends my age. As an immigrant, I have had to restart my life, and am only now achieving what others did in their 20s... but God is faithful.

I sometimes feel that way but then I always rely on the fathers word and it takes my mind away from that feeling

Not really🥴but here I am turning 30 this year and still single🫠but not in a rush. Taking it maybe, slowly but surely.

Yessi, i already want My family . Still searching for my future wife

Sadly yes, sometimes it’s really hard to count our blessings! Looking back at past decisions I’ve made which have shaped my life & also the things which were totally out my control! Everything happens for us not to us, it would be nice if we all grew at the same pace & have supportive friends & family through all seasons of our lives, no jealousy, but everything seems to be hard lessons to learn! I’m trying to love more & find my faith! As I keep being told you don’t know what’s round the corner

I Hope I can find the right wife for me

41. Never been married. No kids. No career, but my faith is the strongest its been since I first became saved and I wouldn't change it for the world. I finally feel free.

I do. But I tend to think God’s got a different plan for all of us.

Yes, at times I felt left behind in life. Life becomes monotonous (speaking about myself) as you age.

Always! But then I remember that God is in control and I’ll patiently wait his plans for my life. Everyone should think this! ❤️‍🩹

48, not married, no kids, yes, I'm falling behind

I can relate

Just 'keep looking to JESUS'. I am going to Big Church Day Out ... Is anyone interested in meeting up?'

Hi

I no longer feel like I am falling behind, as I moved on and left what was actually holding me back.

I always feel like that but I still sit down and differentiate my past from my present life and appreciate God for helping me through the challenges I have overcome. God help us all and he will still be faithful God.

Thank you for sharing @Carissa, I think we are all getting encouraged by your story, 🩷💜

I echo @John’s comment, lol

Never made a comment here. But can not hurt. God bless everyone 😄

Yes I feel :/

Those of you who are younger may feel behind or left out, but things aren't always as they appear or the way you would like them to be. You could get married young but end up divorced through no fault of your own. You just never know. Nothing is certain except Jesus and death.

Good morning everyone

Ah dont worry folks Jesus is coming soon 😄 keep looking up

Lately, I’ve felt behind in life like the breakup set me back while others seem to be building. But I trust that even in heartbreak, God is rebuilding something deeper in me for what’s still ahead.

Shalom! From Philippines🇵🇭

Yes, mine is I will be 35yrs by December 19th but am not married and I don't even have a document of my own and I have not started anything yet, am just ashamed of myself right now 😭😭

Yeah but then what am I meant to do about it? - pray onit(checked) ✅ -seek counsel (checked)✅ Is there something else I haven't considered?

In some things I'm way ahead, in others im behind. So what

Yeah all the time but i trust in God that he shall make a way for me and wipe my tears

If you have never felt behind once in your life you cannot understand in depth Christianity

Yeah I'm about to be 33 and I feel like at times I haven't accomplished much.

Bonsoir à tous !

Yeah, I do struggle with that. I was diagnosed with severe Lyme disease combined with long covid, and it’s almost taken my life several times. Because of that I am temporarily disabled and it’s discouraging sometime to see everyone around me passing me by

Wish I would’ve started a family in my 20s instead of building a career. Im stable but not the most important thing.

Yes - and it’s compounded by friends being much harder to catch up with, which can lead to isolation. That is actually worse than the feeling of missing out on building a life with someone, having a family etc.

At times I feel like everything around me changes but not my life. In a way it is strange to see more and more younger people in my bible study group, while the older members get married or have children and of course they can't dedicate the time. Also in my circle of friends as well, they become married and have no more time.

@Isabel - Team SALT Comparison is the Thief of Joy and Im not planning on coveting another’s life…. so in Gods timing all will be done, our fleshly souls just need to learn patience (myself included) until that time comes 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻

Not so much behind, as if I need to do X by the time I'm Y. But it does feel a little odd when folk you knew as kids/teens get married.

Yes. Once upon a time, I did feel I was behind in life compared to my peers. But, I have always trusted God's timing and also remembered that our destiny in life is an individual journey. Reading your statement, I am reminded of how God turned things around for me in a matter of 2 years. I am at a good place in life now (yet to find my kingdom husband). God's timing is perfect, and everything He has promised will always come to pass. Stay blessed.
