I am a woman in my 40’s.  I have a wonderful family and husband, but I am missing much more.  I feel empty inside.
COUNTRY: USA

Thank you for the story, reminded me how important i am to God. That each one of us is important to.  There are still times when i other people discourage in my walk as a Christian. But God never lets be discouraged all the way. He always lifts me up during my saddest days. And sends me devotionals from friends. Thank you again. I really like the story. God bless you in Jesus Name.

I am lost, lonely, suicidal.  I have recently resigned from my job after 16 years and have not yet been able to secure a new one.  My self esteem is in tatters, and job interviews terrify me intensely.  I feel I no longer have any friends and miss the day to day contact with people that my job enabled me.  I have lost hope.

Prayer for my marriage; that God will get the glory as he brings us closer to him; and as I focus more on the Lord in the season that we are in.

Hi,

I wanted to take the opportunity to share with you some of the incredible things that are taking place through online mentoring. 

Each week we receive thousands of emails from people who are looking for someone to care or give input into their lives.  They are matched up with a mentor who ministers to them.  Through this ministry we see incredible changed life happening.   Mentors grow in their faith, people who are without hope and feeling suicidal receive hope for living again, people are encouraged, prayed for and given resources in dealing with tough relational issues.  

We have been developing new software to enable more people to minister more specifically in their areas of interest.  The software is a tool that allows this to happen in a simple and effective manner.  Software development is a complicated process that periodically has a few bumps along the way.  We’ve experienced some of that and our mentors have been incredibly patient with this process.  We also have an outstanding development team who are working tirelessly on The Mentor Center!  We are so thankful for them.  Please pray for our developers as they work on this amazing program!   

I thought that it would be good for you to hear what some of our mentors are saying this past week.  I’m including a few of their stories together with the weekly emails that Lynnette Relf typically sends.  (She is away this week, so I’m sending them on her behalf). 

This is an incredible ministry where we are saying lives changed EVERY single day!!!  

What 3 mentors are saying:

Mentoring has made an impact on my life.  My heart has been touched deeply by the people behind the requests I receive. Earlier this year I answered the request for help with teens.  Wow!  Our teens today have all the issues we had as young persons, and so many more.  I have been challenged and blessed.  I have been forced to pray and pray more, research, and pray again.  I pray for God to by-pass my “self” thinking and allow me to be used for His purpose.  He sees and knows the needs of each of the young people who write, and I long to only pass along the words God gives me.  I take my “teen time” so very seriously.  They are being shaped and molded to God’s specifications, and I want to be used as He will allow.

My experiences I have encountered in being a mentor with TruthMedia have been absolutely fabulous. I have grown in my knowledge. It delves me into the Word and increases the well of knowledge within me that God has provided. I have had many letters and many positive replies.

 I have come to appreciate that others need more mentoring than myself.  Online mentoring has encouraged me to desire to reach out even to those within my surroundings.  Believe you me, am more than proud of this Ministry and am often talking to my groups about what am doing in the Ministry.  I proudly talk about people that need mentoring such as Youth, Women, Families, and various categories of people.  I have been worried because I was doing this without your knowledge, but felt it necessary to inform you that I feel part of this Ministry already.
 
Trying to find God:

I was born a Catholic.  Baptized a Mormon.  Moved away after some strange things happened.  Mother passed away, was mad at God for taking her for a while and now I’m returning to the fold… Feel something missing in my life.  I’d like to be happy.  To feel good where I am.  To not feel like I’m wasting my life.  And to no longer be afraid of death.  It really scares me, so much that I made my husband promise that he would out live me… Don’t know why I’m tell you this anyway…  I think anything would help. So I guess I am starting over. Hope God isn’t mad at me for being mad at him once…  Sometimes I wonder. USA

I’m backslid, lost faith and focused on the negatives… please is there a good home church in ________?
Suicidal individuals:

I need to heal from all the emotional melodrama around me , I am hurt beyond words and want to end my life -  France

Pls. Help me… I am lost! I can’t see any reason to live my life… I am really struggling with myself, my work, and my relationship with GOD… I am afraid I can’t take it anymore…=(     Philippines

Relational issues:

Rediscovering religion hoping it can help my marriage.  USA

I am just in the beginning, i just said prayed to Jesus for the first time. My life is a mess.  I have been in constant presence of drugs.  Along w/ the presence of drugs, my financial situation is in a totally ridiculous predicament.  I am in despair, on the verge of losing my wife and unborn son, and also my family members.  I can’t find the courage to face reality and the predicament that will be dealt to me. So now i turn to Jesus Christ my Lord, and invite him into my life, and change me the way he see fit.  -  Indonesia

Please be advised, due to multiple issues in the chat rooms, we found it necessary to ban both karebear and jr today.  We’ve communicated with both. Any questions in the room should be directed to “Chat Feedback”, where Doris can direct the response, or you may simply say that we don’t discuss issues about other chatters with the room or any administrative decisions.  If you as a moderator, have any observations or concerns, please feel free to contact Doris.

Although raised in a very abusive non Christian home, I managed to find Jesus at a very young age of 5 years old. I found a bible in our home that had a picture of Jesus I tore it out to keep it on me. I found much comfort in the sight of this person that I had no clue who he was. I married at the age of 16 raised 2 children in and out of church through out the years. 20 years later my marriage ended do to his infidelity. My daughter passed away right after my divorce. I then became very worldly looking for ways to numb
my pain. I got involved with alcohol and sex. Bad relationships that did not work out. I have since wanted to turn my life around and get back with GOD.  I said a prayer and found this site. Praise be to GOD AMEN!!!!!

I have always had a strong belief in God however I have always believed that God has continued to punish me for what my dad did to me.  I felt it made me impure.  I want to trust God again.  I want to forgive myself.  I have a long ways to go to be where God wants me to be.

I will like to be able to witness to others effectively. I know that I have grown and am less timid to approach people, but I am not always sure what to say, when or how to introduce Jesus.

I felt I am a total failure. I left my hometown and work far away. Never being able to reach the goal I set plus being betrayed by my beloved one make me very depressed. I long for a warm home to stay but it never happened to me. What am I supposed to do next?
COUNTRY: China

I am so grateful that the Holy Spirit led me to your website.  I am a 49 year old christian woman that feels like I’m losing my mind.  I went from being an active leader in my church to a total recluse.  I thought at first I just needed a rest from all the busyness but it quickly turned to depression.  I don’t know who to go to.  But I need help so bad. It’s a little frightening.  I know that God is with me. I’d appreciate any Godly counsel from you.  Thank you for your prayers.

I am currently experiencing a lot of uncertainty and emotional instability. I always pray to the almighty God to give me hope, strength and a future.

I have just legally separated from my husband of 39 years because he said he didn’t love me anymore.  That’s all I knew in raising my kids and taken care of him.  There is such a void feeling in my heart I just don’t know how to go on.  The best thing to do was separate but where do I go from here.  I feel empty and lost.

I’m a high school student. I felt guilty constantly from cheating or hurting others with knowing that I can’t make it up. I worry about my selfishness and my friends’ problem as well.

Please pray form so I can help my friends to find the eternal life. Amen.

I come in and out.  I am just beginning to believe God can help me. I would like to become a real believer.  I feel as if I don’t have any purposes. I have been chanting.  But it seems to do nothing for me.  So I know that God is alive in me.  I just need to feel it. I need to move on.  I lost my child it is coming up on a year.  How the hell am I expected to go on and live a normal life.  I am having trouble doing this.  A lot of trouble.  Man I am angry.  I need help.

Hi all,

As we had discussed previously, I’m going to make a post each time we ban a chatter that is regular or a problem/concern.  We won’t do this for random people that are banned.  So do check the blog weekly or more frequently to watch for posts.  

Name:  Father Mike

Banned IP:  24.18.56.134

This chatter was back in the room tonight and has been banned with the IP listed above.  He’s banned because previously there was a report that he is luring teens to other Internet sites.
