Biblical Answer

Is it okay to feel lost?

Yes, it is okay to feel lost. In fact, feeling lost can be a natural and even necessary part of the spiritual journey. As the Bible says, "No one seeks for God" (Romans 3:11). We are all prone to feeling lost and uncertain at times, and it's okay to admit it. However, it's essential to recognize that feeling lost is not an excuse to give up on relationships and love. In fact, loving others is a fundamental aspect of our design as human beings, and it's a key way to combat feelings of despair.

Feeling lost can also be a sign that we're not living the life we're truly meant to live. As the Bible says, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" (Mark 8:36). We may feel lost because we're not following our deepest desires or living in accordance with our values. But, it's essential to remember that our desires can be deceptive, and we need to be careful not to let them rule us. We need to ask ourselves, "Who or what will rule me when no one is looking?" Will it be our desires or our God?

So, what do we do when we feel lost? First, we need to acknowledge our feelings and be honest with ourselves. We need to recognize that feeling lost is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign that we're on a journey of self-discovery. We need to seek guidance from wise friends, mentors, or spiritual leaders who can help us navigate our feelings and find our way. And, most importantly, we need to remember that God is always with us, even when we feel lost. He is our rock, our refuge, and our guide. We can trust Him to lead us through the darkest of times and to bring us to a place of peace and clarity. As the Bible says, "The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and make fat your bones; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not" (Isaiah 58:11).
