Feeling 'behind in life' 😅

Do you ever feel like you're falling behind in life compared to others your age?

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.

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.

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.

@Marcia it sounds like you’re doing all the right things! If you’re doing everything you can, I think you can be at peace knowing it’s in God’s hands and He’ll take care of you. Keep going strong sis 🫶🏻🤍

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

@Carissa Sorry to hear that. That mustve been a very difficult time for you. Is that also why you study online? I pray that any symptoms and problems you Still have, will disappear in Jesus name.

@Matityahu thank you so much! I was actually studying online before I got sick. I was working as a nurse in the hospital and taking online classes to earn a masters degree. Some days are harder than others, but I know God is faithful to His children and that His power is made known through our weakness

@Carissa I know it can be discouraging to see everyone around you pass you by. But I hope you dont compare yourself with them too much. Everyones path is different and maybe in a few years you will be right back next to them ( from your perspective). I dont know what it is like to have long covid or Lyme but the combo must be very bad. I just belief God can restore you and the things you may have lost.

@Carissa I’m so sorry for all that you’ve been through and still are going through. I can definitely relate, I also live with chronic illness/disability and it’s so hard when you see others moving on in life and feeling like you’re behind or at a standstill. Sending so much love to you. Know that you’re not alone ♥️

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.

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.
