Picking up the pieces

I don't really know what my problem is, but I've been under a lot of stress lately. I haven't really been in the best of moods, and I can't play games or browse my old forums anymore. Can't focus on either.
Adding to the stress, my bestfriend was turning into a girlfriend, and she left me last night. She doesn't like my friends and we don't share the same interest, and says i shouldn't have my interest in the first place. Now, God has used her to work in my life before, and thats probably what this is again. Thats what I thought last night anyway. Everything thats happened just hit me this morning.
I've been thinking for a while that I need to stop hanging out with my friends, they aren't the Christians that they say they are. I've known that from the start. I plan to tell them I don't want to be around them anymore, but I'm somewhat reluctant. I mean, I'm losing interest in games and computers. I'm going to tell my friends that I don't want to be around them. Obviously, I don't have this girl anymore. So, I'm left with no interest and no friends.
I hope to be coming on here more in the future. I've somewhat neglected my membership and only come on to ask for help or advice or to ask you all to pray for me. I kind of feel bad about that, but now that all this has happened/ is happening I have a real void in me that I have to fill and i think this may be time for me to get back close with the Lord.

So let me ask again, will you guys please pray or me.


EDIT: I'm also faceing a lot of temptation from things that I know I shouldn't see, and I have been for a few years now. I finally want to do something besides ask for forgiveness. I want to finally turn and repent from my sin.

Hey you are welcomed to ask for prayers anytime. :)

Sounds like you're having a difficult time, I'm sorry to hear that. But I'll pray for your social life and peace from God during times like this. You're not alone, God always hears our cries for help. ^_^ Hang on there, help is on the way!

Well, after a day back at school, I don't think it'd be so bad, with the losing everyone thing. Most of the guys that I normally hang around kind of stayed clear of me for whatever reason.

And when my girlfriend left she said she wanted us to just be friends for a while, but I never really expected for us to be....friends...again. We get along better now that we used to. I think she just needs some space for a while. She's going through a lot, and i think that just the thought of being in a relationship of any kind was too much for her. I've told her that I still care about her and that as long as she'll let me I'd be happy to help her through any of the hard spots in her life, so hopefully she'll let me.

Please pray for her as well, she's traveling this weekend.

I still have a way to go, but I'm happy to say that for the first time in my life, I have a hunger for God's word.

That's good to hear, Pigeon. Friends are important, but if they challenge your relationship with Christ, then you should move back a little. I'll pray for you and that you find some Christian friends with whom you can enjoy Christ's presence!

I find that for the better. YOu need thigns straightened out and having a relationship isn't the best thing to be in when trying to get thigns right. So that was a good move. Of course youll still be her friend! And like you said, youre getting to know her better and you're getting along with her better

Oh man, things are getting so much worse. I've left my friends behind, interaction with my ex-girlfriend is now nothing, grades are falling, disliking myself more than I used too. Everything is just happening so fast. It amazes me sometimes what can happen in just a few days.
