Dear LIB readers: help me make sense of my existence

From a female LIB reader
Linda I'm 40years old today and I'm the saddest person alive. So I'm writing this letter today to God through your blog hoping somebody somewhere can help me make sense of my life.. 
Dear God, 
I'm 40 today and I hate the life you have given me. This isn't living. Being dead is better than this. Haba God, after my sacrifice, after serving you in truth and in spirit. You bring me shame? I have no money, no kids, no husband and you want me to continue serving u. Haha, you are joking right? 
From 18, I served your church till now, when my mates were busy having sex with their future husbands I was in church for praise and worship, cleaning chairs, going for revival, visitation, paying my tithes. etc. Continue...

Dear God, you no try! If I were you, I would have blessed me since. I never disobeyed my parents while they were alive. I read my bible daily, I was a virgin till I was 31 for Christ sake. Haba!

People told me, leave ikotun and move to the island. There are husbands there. I moved, nothing. They told me, change your church, I changed. Still nothing. Lose ur virginity, men dont like mature virgins, I lost it. What strategy have I not tried.

My mates that aren't married have money, and if they don't have money they have kids. Why have you chosen to humiliate me like this? Was I wrong to give up my virginity at 31? Is that why you are not fair to me, if that's the reason, all my friends and siblings stopped being virgins in their early 20s and they are all married with children. So that can't be. Or maybe my reward isn't here on earth. Oya take me, let me rest. I'm asthmatic, I'm lonely, I'm poor and not happy. This is too much. Too much 

Linda, libers somebody, anybody, please explain to me what I have done wrong. How does God work? Because I can't seem to make sense of my existence here on earth.

Sweetheart, a happy ending doesn't always ve to include a guy/ girl, sometimes it's you on ur own, picking up the pieces, finding joy n inner peace, above all, Never losing HOPE!!!

Gbammest!! Inasmuch as I understand her desires etc, living in Nigeria makes her situation seem ten thousand times worse; and it's because of the society. There are a lot of females around her age who are unmarried in other countries like here in the US or England etc, they also yearn the companionship, family, happy-ever-after feeling but they don't feel this dejected bcos they still have other options/things to keep them occupied like busying themselves with jobs, furthering their careers, dating outside of the 'judgemental' Nigerian cliche, foster a child- even if it's part time etc. In Nigeria, once you start hitting your late 20s; they make you feel like you're worthless if not yet married to the extent that women feel lucky and fulfilled to be married even if their husband is beating them every other day black and blue or cheating and bringing diseases home to them. It's just so sad. My dear, continue to pray but start doing things for yourself and not for others or for men. If you can, try to travel out of the country, further your education or build up on a skill you're really gifted at. Let people see your worth, not just as a potential wife; but your individual worth and what you can bring to the table. Don't focus too much on marriage, I know it's hard but focus on other things. Get your smile back, you will exude confidence, infectious happiness and people will want to know you and get close to you. When you start dating, don't limit yourself to Nigerians because I've also noticed that Nigerian men are very good at taking advantage of unmarried ladies of marriageable age that they think are desperate for a husband. I really feel your pain because I was also in a similar boat except that I'm about 6-7yrs younger. I also lost mine at 30, not because anyone advised me to but I was tired of waiting and a hopeless fellow took advantage and made me feel I had finally reached my happy ending bus stop while he had other plans in mind. While a lot of friends and even younger girls in their 20s who had been having sex and sleeping around throughout college where getting married and having kids etc. I am definitely in a better place and looking forward to a happy future. I pray you find your own happiness too, please don't lose hope but also don't allow others to take advantage because they will try to. My suggestions might not be feasible for you because I know how hard things could be in Nigeria, especially for a woman; but if they are, please take advantage and continue to be positive. May all our prayers get answered IJN, amen.

My dear sister, I feel your pain and I want to reply you on behalf of God... that when the need the greatest, God's help never fail. You claim to have served God in spirit and in truth but yet you said you 'listened to people when they asked you to do a wrong thing'. Those who advised you wrongly where are they now? Many have lost their destiny, after slaving for so long just at the last minute of impatience. Well that does not matter, because only God can change your situation even now. Go to your room lock the doors and confront your creator from the buttom of your heart. Call on Him and he will answer. He made you for a purpose which is different from all those things that other have. Why all these obsession about children, husband, job and the material things that really don't bring happiness. Those who have them are they really happy. Each of us who claim to have all these things - inside us there is still that emptiness which only God can fulfil. Please there are many having all these things you mentioned who regret or have died because of them. Think of those worse off than you. Stop thinking about what you do not have at the expense of what you have. If you have been serving God in spirit and in truth... you will see what the LORD has for you, has been right before your nose but you refused to see it. I will pray for you. Cheer up.

I'm not in your situation but if I don't take time I'll get there. One thing I have to say is that u should sleep wake up and and read your write up,u will see the cause of your problem. You listen to people more than you listen to God. No money and you moved to Lekki, no husband and fornication was your solution. Ask yourself this question, why was I really serving God? Was it to get the best of life or was it because I loved my Lord? Be truthful. In other news, your time has not passed, get creative and if you love yourself others can love you

THIS GOD DEY OR DIA IZ GOD MENTALITY IS WHAT IS MAKING PEOPLE NOT TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR LIVES. SO FAR, FEW PEOPLE HERE HAVE MADE ANY PROACTIVE SUGGESTIONS. THAT ALSO TELLS YOU THE IQ OF THE AVERAGE LIB READER.
MY DEAR, TAKE CHARGE. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IS SIMPLE:
1. WORK ON YOUR APPEARANCE. MAKE YOURSELF LOOK APPEALING, BUT NOT SLUTTY.
2. YOUR HAIR IS YOUR CROWN AS A WOMAN, WEAR A VERY FASHIONABLE BUT NOT TOO EXPENSIVE STYLE.
3. ALWAYS SCENT GOOD. CHOOSE A GOOD PERFUME, NOT ANYTHING HARSH. THIS WORKS WONDERS ON MEN, TRUST ME.
4. CONNECT. WHAT'S THE POINT OF ALL THESE IF YOU DON'T CONNECT WITH PEOPLE? SEEK OUT FUN EVENTS TO ATTEND EVERY WEEKEND.
5. SMILE. THIS IS THE BEST ATTIRE YOU CAN WEAR EVERYTIME. IF YOU LOOK FRUSTRATED, YOU WILL GET FRUSTRATED. SMILES ARE NOT FOR PASTOR ALONE.
... OH, TALKING ABOUT PASTOR, PLEASE LEAVE CHURCH ACTIVITIES FOR CHURCH. YOUR FAITH SHOULDN'T HINDER YOUR SOCIAL LIFE.
FOR MORE TIPS AND EVEN TO BE PART OF CLEAN FUN EVENTS WHERE YOU CAN MEET GREAT PEOPLE, SEND A TEXT MESSAGE OF NAME AND LOCATION, (NO PAYMENTS AT ALL) TO 08147127251.
ONE MORE THING, NEVER BELITTLE YOURSELF OR YOUR ABILITIES. YOU ARE WELCOME

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
DO SOMETHING with your life, change your mind set and stop harping on the fact that you were a virgin.

Anonymous said...

Sister, we serve God for who He is, not for what He does or doesn't do; unconditionally. As you truly seek Him and His righteousness, all that you desire will be added to your life. Let your life be guided by the word of God not word of man. A true christan doesn't defile the temple of God which is your body to get a husband. By relocating you were trusting in yourself and not in God for a husband. God is faithful, true to his word. Ask God for forgiveness and mercy and serve Him for who He is. Also you may need to undergo deliverance at a true deliverance church. Please don't give up.God never fails His own.

Let me tell you a little story to show you that you are not alone even if it seems so. My sister got married as a virgin at age of 43. 15years after her twin got married; 14 years after her twin's first child; battled ovarian cyst for years, after many heart breaks and constantly been advised to lose her virginity, she finally got married in 2012. She was just like you. A spirit filled woman, always after the things of God. In the midst of it all she held fast to God's promise that says 'His thought towards us are of good and not of evil to bring us to an expected end'. My sister's testimony confirms to me that though it may tarry, but God will never fail. Just Hold on and keep the faith!

Hey! You must be over 50yrs and still single....Oya send her your number so you can coach her on menopause matters....If you are not bothered at your status, then u need more help. hehehehehehe

My sister got married at 43 a virgin,15years after her twin, and after several years of battling ovarian cysts. Her testimony tells me that God is faithful, that His thoughts towards us are of good and not of evil to bring us to an expected end, that though it may tarry but God never fails. Don't give up, you are not alone. Keep the faith.One thing you must never do is to blame God. The patient dog eats the fattest bone as they say. You may not be married now, but you may enjoy your marriage much more than those that have been in it for years when you finally do.

My dear unknown sister, I'd like to encourage you NOT to give up. Like you, there are many people who are in your situation even worse. I for one am single, 38, no mother,father,child or husband. But I have a sister who I love soo much. The question you ask is what I ask myself everyday, but I want you to know God loves you very much. Surround yourself with good friends or people who will encourage you. Try to get a good job and live each day like it was your last. Love yourself, count the good things you do have. I am pretty, imagine if I come ugly on top all my matter Lol... He will answer your prayers and mine..and if he doesn't, then it was never his will. God bless you.

Some time we ask God for Husband but despise men he sends our way cos they don't measure up to our expectation, we ask for jobs and don't apply for jobs. We expect God to do things we should do. We all make this mistake.

My sister, you can change your thoughts now and approach God the right way, he is a father.

Honestly, i feel your pain but your thoughts is wrong. God will send you help

Sister God is never wrong. You are going through a difficult time but God changes not. Jer 29:11 His plan for you is to prosper, you have to always stand on the word of God. Abraham could not have been a father of nations if he questioned GOD. The 1st commandment said we should love GOD with all our heart, in your circumstance your listened to people and their advise failed you Sister always listen to GOD for he will never fail you

Now how does one contact you??? ok, I'll give my e-mail to linda's team via the mail address at the side. I'm single and have quite a similar story to you. I live on the island too, though for years..
My friends encourage me to go out more, so if you want we can hang out together. lol
cheer up, I recently thought about adopting a child. Think about it too. You'll give the child all your love and you'll have company so you wont be lonely.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, DELAY IS NOT DENIAL; THEN AGAIN, ARE YOU PRAYING AND BEING HAPPY, ARE YOU THANKING GOD DAILY? IF YOU ARE PRAYING AND ARE STILL BEING SAD, IT WON'T WORK BC YOU ARE STILL CLOSED. YOU HAVE TO BE OPEN TO RECEIVE. IF YOU PRAY AND ARE ALWAYS SAD, YOU ARE BUSY/TOO OCCUPIED/CLOSED. SO, MY SISTER, PRAY WITH A THANKFUL HEART, HAVE FAITH , BE HAPPY, DO THINGS THAT MAKE YOU HAPPY, HELP SOMEONE BE HAPPY, SO GOOD CAN FIND YOU. DO IT W/O SEIZING OPEN A CHANNEL OF GOODNESS SO IT CONNECTS TO YOU. TAKE IF FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN IN YOUR SHOES. GOD BLESS YOU!

Don't loose hope and don't loose faith in God. God is able to do all things. God can bless you with all that you thought you have lost over the years within a short period. You can draw a lot of inspiration from the story of our petroleum minister (Mrs Diezani Allison-Madueke) who did not find a husband until she was 39 despite her beauty, intelligence and being a princess. She eventually got married at 39 to a widower who already had 5 kids. She has a kid for her husband but in their family, you could never tell that Mrs Allison-Madueke isn't the biological mother of the other 5 kids.Today, she is so blessed. She rose to become an Executive Director in Shell Petrolleum before leaving to take up appointment in GEJ govt. At 39 she was unhappy but never lost hope in God. Today, she is happilly married with 6 children. God's time is never late.

1) stop listening to people they are man and not God, "lose your virginity, men don't like virgins" this contradicts the word of God, and is therefore bad advice.
God is not malicious, nor does he hate you, nor does he want you to suffer. He is love and he loves you and wants the best for you, he wouldn't have described you as 'more than a conqueror' in the Bible if he wanted life to defeat you. Come into agreement with what God says about you, believe that he has answered your prayers, he hears you and he is not inactive.Stop listening to bad advice and start listening to what God has said about you. What is great about the Bible is that every story is an example so many people like us went through great trials and tribulation but they overcame them and was promoted greater than his contemporaries. Look at Joseph in the Bible who was sold into slavery by his own brothers and wrongly imprisoned. He received great promotion. Go back and read the story of Joseph in the Bible today!

The path of life is formed with the hooves of the print of the horse of death. Life itself is a very difficult problem, a very painful process, and our current life plays outs according to our past life karma and our actions in this current life. Anybody can change.
But change can be quite difficult as some of us lack the precise information that would guide us to perform or carry out the precise actions that would translate to the change we desire to experience. Patience and some calmness of mind is very needful as a new life and the change you desire doesn't always come when you expect it.
There is no injustice but boundless mercy and love in the palace of the Lords of Karma and his 42judges. Well then,there are certain spiritually advanced human beings or say clairvoyants who are experienced in getting precise answers from the superior worlds and as such can make cosmic negotiations on ones behalf. Negotiations that request for cosmic Credits to be granted to those without cosmic cash in their Karmic Bank- those who seem to have nothing to give equivalent to what they request.
It is also important to note that everything unfolds in waves. Meaning, little by little according to what is deserved and desired.
It is important not to escalate ones situation in such manner of bitter complains to the Gods/God and even to people but to seek ways to distract the mind or say relax the mind and heart with some form of activities like listening to good music, reading something edifying to the mind and spirit, going out to look around and possibly meet people. Try and come alive, be genuinely friendly,nice and helpful to people around, show and perform acts of kindness,love and generosity as such one is planting the desirable seed that would result to reaping desirable fruits.This is a precise mathematical equation that never fails.

Besides, this change, however necessary, is unfortunately on a profanely superficial level as real change is multidimensional.
In the long run, no one knows anything, no one knows the meaning of life, no one is happy,no one has changed and it is a miserable and complete waste of a life @ disincarnation.

Unknown said...

Having read your story, I feel speechless and disappointed in your kind of faith in God. You've only succeeded in ridiculing your faith in God. You don't serve God because you're expectant of something from Him, you only serve God because you love Him for whom He is!
I therefore, advise that you retrace your steps and say to God "I am sorry Father for such a little faith in you"
This I believe settles all and allow God to rule in your life.

Na wa o. Like say reasonable job dey dat one for balm the heart. What can you do? You can't do something drastic. Try to look bright. Accept that things can go either way. If you've had some experience working, apply for jobs that are better paying than your present one(Naija hot jobs, etc), most likely, one will eventually click. Even though you accept that things can go either way, still have hope lurking somewhere in your heart; it will keep you going.

Since you are in Lagos, I suggest you visit Prophet T. B Joshua at the Synagogue Church. They're people like you that got delivered from the bondage and yoke of satan. Go there and your story will change for good. 40 is just a number. And remember there is nothing too difficult for God to do. ICU

Sweetheart, I can absolutely identify with you.....
I have raved and ranted at the Lord, repented and got on with my life and honestly I do have relapses every now and again!!! I am human...thank God for His grace. So I don't think your current mode or mood is permanent. It is a cry for help!!I am going through a similar experience and in my case I will be 47 years old shortly. I don't want to bore you lot, the readers, with the details but I gave my life to Christ at 18 and my life has followed a similar pattern to this lady. I have contemplated suicide, done deliverance severally, believed, prayed, fasted, sown, stood on God's word, moved church, various ministers of God have prayed and prophesied over me, I even moved my country of residence!!! All my sisters are married with children and doing well in their endeavours. I am the third girl in the family. It is not just about getting married and having kids which is a personal desire, but also about other aspects of life i.e. work progress, disappointments after putting much effort into achieving goals, being comfortable and prospering in life etcetera. Of course I know my sisters' lives are not perfect and they do go through challenges, many I have witnessed, however as a committed Christian I believe God's word, no questions and if He says He will reward me for seeking Him and bless me for serving Him, then I take Him at His word. I am not serving God for the rewards and I believe same applies to this lady in question. If God chooses not to bless me with my heartfelt desires HE WILL STILL BE MY GOD!!! I will not stop serving Him. My being blessed will not change who HE is!!! As a Christian, I don't believe that my life should be devoid of challenges(God didn't promise us that), however I should overcome them by His grace, make progress and move to the next level. The stagnation in life seems to be forever!!! My primary concern here is that if there are no proofs in my life that I serve God, then that questions my Christianity. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for everything good in my life no matter how trivial it may be by the world's standards and I know that I am better off than multitudes the world over. However if one have to struggle hard continually to get any decent thing in one's life, it can be quite disheartening!!! It sometimes beggars my belief that I am really a child of the Almighty God...
Some commentators tried to villify this dear lady, I have read many of the comments posted, some are just hilarious, some judgemental and others encouraging.
I can only say to you darling sister, to hold on and hang in there. Don't commit suicide...that is NEVER the answer!! I know it can be really difficult sometimes (been there done that) but allow God to be true to His word. God is not fair but He is FAITHFUL!!!! He cannot deny Himself. Interestingly, I read Isaiah 38 Vs 18-20 just before I happened upon this post. Please read it and meditate on it!!!! It is only the LIVING that have HOPE of God's faithfulness (HIS WORD).
I am praying for you and you shall have reason to smile and celebrate your life shortly by HIS GRACE.....be blessed

Serving God is not about what you get in return. It is about serving him in spirit AND in truth. do not get deceived by the people of the world, they only lead people astray. Earth is not your final destination. What would you tell God you did with the life he gave you. Did you abide by his word or did you let man deceive you?.

Hi. You are missing something. Your righteousness is not potent enough to deiler you, neither churching or even your vitginity. U will continue to perish because you lack knowledge. Unfortunately all things required for life and Godliness has been given, expended in christ jesus, there is no other way. There is a place in God where there is no death but life, that is where our victory his, our deiverance , your answers as well. Listen you are a Son of God, until you come into sonship, only death can reign, but when you begin to understand your place in sonship and appropriate d liberty of d Sons of God, all d chains will fall off, d yokes shall be broken. Seek knowledge that no man can teach.

sister,, I want you to know,that you have been delivered from every problem that you are facing today right from when you declared Jesus as your lord and savior, victory is ours as believers, Jesus died and resurrected that we may have life and be victorious in every aspect of our lives, I think the problem you have is your mindset. I want you to have the mentality of a winner, have faith, and start making the right choices and all will be well with you.

My dear, you say you've been serving God since you were 18. The truth is that you've been following the voices of people...go to Island, change church, have sex. Have you listened to the voice of God? He is constantly speaking. Don't get involved/engrossed in activities instead of sitting at His feet and listening to Him. God is truly a rewarder. He never owes anyone. He's not a respecter of any person so why do you think He's picking on you not to bless you? Check yourself dear. Are you serving God for the things/blessings you want from Him or are you serving God because you love Him? Food for thought. Stay blessed!

I hope you get to read my comment especially after some very discouraging ones I noticed above. Please people it's better to build up than to tear down, if u have nothing gd to say,kp it to urself

I can truly empathize with u as I'm currently nursing myself back after my 1st love left me for a very notorious girl.

Pls keep ur head up cos in dis situation you are the only one who can help ur self, in my case I decided to take a step back from "God" and just try to do right and not hurt anyone in d process, I think we tend to spiritualize things way too much in dis part of d world. If the faith I've always believed in is no longer working for you, pls ditch it instead of waiting for answers dat might never come.
I have decided dat it's better to hold myself responsible for all my successes and failures than to rely on something dat is not real to me.
Pls my dear Live life on ur terms,u have to fight dis depression cos @ d end of the day the only one who stands to lose (by wallowing in regret) or gain (by being happy) is you.
(I no I wld receive a lot of insults for dis, but I'm entitled to my own opinions)

P.s: sending you love, joy and light.

Help you make sense out of your existence? That you're alive is God's mercy don't take it for granted you have to be grateful to God. And you have to ask God for forgiveness for the things you said, if you're a Christian like you said from 18yrs old till date then you of all people should know that God will do it just kip trusting & believing, am not saying its easy to wait on God, Bt God expects you to kip believing on Him. And stp listening to those your friends telling you to relocate from ikotun to island, what if your husband is in ikotun, my dear put all your trust in the Lord. It is well.....

This young woman needs your testimonies right now. It's unsympathetic to tell someone who is depressed to snap out of it. I hate it when Nigerians say, 'there are people ur better than'. Each person carries their cross. I'm 30 and feel a similar way. My advice to u is-you must go back to being positive, and grateful for life. Pray to the Holy spirit to take away your bitterness and anger. Then tackle the challenges one at a time. Why don't u have money? Is it coz u don't have a job? Begin with that. Once you get a job, then ud start to feel more confident with yourself, and maybe attract a man. Cry, but wipe your tears, and tell God you love him no matter what. He will fill you with his peace which knows no bounds. Keep asking. You can still marry and have kids at 40. My aunt had her first child at 41. No IVF. Jesus truly loves you and he never fails.

In Gen 12, God began a journey with Abraham. In chapter 16, Abraham allowed human ideology to interrupt the Master's plan thereby delaying the original script of his life. After 25yrs, our God showed up in chpt 17 and said "Abraham walk before me and be thou perfect". Sometime, we allow people's opinion to counter the Master's script for our life thus,making us vulnerable. As long as we keep allowing friends "in quote" to detect how we should live our lives, God will always step aside to watch how far those ill advices can take us. The fact is that, for so many years of your life, you have been living out the script written by your friends while the good Lord is patiently waiting for you with the best parcel. I have had a testimony of a virgin who got married at 52yrs old (two years ago) and if God could do it for her then yours is not too late. Don't throw in the towel. You have every reason to be thankful. Do not allow the devil to mess up your story line. I know that the anger in your heart has taken the best part of you, but once your mind is calmed go back to God and apologise to him and seek counsel from your pastor. I am convinced in my spirit that you are at the verge of your miracle but the devil is trying to muddle things up by setting you up against yourself. Please don't submit to his frolics cos he has been a swindler from the beginning. Also reverse every wrong utterance you've made cos words are very powerful. I pray this day that the Lord will give you a testimony that sounds like a lie in the ears of many. If you want further counselling please email me at christabel.zion@yahoo.com

I feel ur pain n frustration, remember murmuring n complaints will only compound ur problems. D children of Israel died in wilderness cos of murmuring. John d Baptist lost his head cos murmuring. Dont compare ur self with others. Are u angry against God. Remember numbers 14:28

The way God works is totally different from our plans. I think you have been helping God by trying what people suggested to you. It does not take God hours to change your story to an history. I will advise you to come to the throne of grace and seek for mercy. God needs to fellowship with you, He want an intimacy to accept your service. Nobody is capable of doing God's work, God actually works through us. commit your ways unto the Lord acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path. Do all these and keep on trusting Him and when the Lord is through with you . you will SMILE.

1 Corinthians 10:13
keep pressing on.. no matter how it may seem, don't give up on God because HE wont give up on you..
praise HIM in your storm and i know its easier said than done, but He will come through for you.. Eternity in heaven is worth more than pleasures of the earth..

easier said than done but i urge you to please try.. God loves you..

My sister, may the rest of your days be the best of your days! Continue to be prayerful and resourceful. The saying "God helps those who help themselves" is oh so true. Wake up each and every day, look at the beautiful sunshine, inhale the fresh air, walk with a bounce in your step and be a conqueror, then rejoice "Ayeeee my God is good oh"! It is well with you. Your breakthrough is near. Be blessed :)
