When I was lonely my bible helped me to have a conversation with Jesus,who told he was also lonely when he was betrayed by his friends and foes
and then he talked to his father through prayers and got strengthened.I listened to his advice and talked to my maker and felt no more lonely.When all my hard work became futile,Jesus Christ told me at the end of his career ,he had nothing but only twelve disciples who were still afraid and one betrayed him,and since he knew the disciples weakness,he prayed and his Father sent them a helper called inner strength,or holy spirit to tide over difficult situations and problems. So I could also pray for the helper, and get strengthened to tide over my difficult situation.So if the whole world say you are a failure and good for nothing,do not get frustrated,but believe in Jesus Christ and ask him to send his strength to guide and guard you in tough situation.

Yes, we are never alone though our circumstances may get us down and at times even seem unbearable. How does Jesus help?
He set an amazing example for us. 1 Peter 2:21 King James Version (KJV) 21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
We can learn much by reading his experiences and by following his example. All the best!

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well glad to know that u consider Bible so close to your heart soul and body. i am sure u must have learned so much lessons from it that might have been an eyeopener for you. When there is no one around u, then there is God who is always there by your side every time. Jesus is always present around us to protect us from all difficulties and encourage us to love and affection every one in our life.
What say?

Read the bible,Start with the New testament.When you start reading,start with one paragraph.Then stop and go over it,again and as days go by,you will be able to read more and more and the Bible will turn to be your good friend and guide.Never give up on bible reading habit.It will really turn out to be guide for your days to meet any problem you may confront.

Thanks for this discussion. It is very true. We should lift our burdens to God. And He will comfort us and gives us strength. The life of Jesus here on earth is of great encouragement too and a blessing for us. He is truly a Friend, a Mentor, and a Helper.
God Bless!

When I was sopomore, we had a class of western culture where I learned sth about the Bible. While culuture differences do exist,I still admire the courage of Jesus and his spirit of sacrifice. He is really good spiritual pillar and mentor. After the exam, i am going to read it thoroughly. Jesus be with you.

Wow. That is great.
The first thing I read your title is I thought you are referring to a businessman, he he , but what you've written here is good. That is correct. We can't do it alone. We need Jesus Christ. We need God to strengthen us from our frustration. That is what I called positive energy to make us move on and reach our goal.

Amen to that. He is not just a person of history but is still present today. Jesus is the ultimate One everyone needs. He is always listening to every prayers we utter even the very words our mouth can't express.I can't agree more to this that He is a friend, Mentor and Helper.
