My entire life...I have not known how to drive a car. At first, I thought it was because I had some learning disabilities, but I soon discovered it was fear. Well, thanks to God and my bravery...I finally got over my fear, took some lessons and this Wednesday...I am taking my driver's license test.
Finally being able to drive will make a huge and positive difference in my life. This is something I've been waiting for, for a long time. Driving related issues is something I've posted about before on here, so I am sure a few of you know that I have been waiting for this day.
Will you folks please say a prayer for me, and pray that my fear does not cause me to make any errors, and that I pass the driver's test?
God bless, and thank you.

Father,
We pray for Zeeboe and fear. I HATE fear it is the devils biggest tool against us. I pray for a successful test, and for Zeeboe to have the opportunity to minister to the test administrator through the test.
Please set a guard against fear and the enemy around the testing area, bind Satans power, Your will be done here.
Amen

Praying in agreement.
Father,
Thank you for helping Zeeboe all along. Thank you for the driving lessons and now for the test. Help so that he actually will enjoy taking the driving test. Help so that his whole driving experience will be safe, so that his driving experience will be without detrimental fear, so that his driving experience will be useful and calm. We praise you and ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

As hard as it is to type this, I might as well get this over with...I did not get the job done today. I choked, and the fear got the better of me. But I will hopefully have more lessons, followed by another attempt to go for the gold and I won't stop until I get it. It's not like I have a girlfriend, a social life or anything else better to do. :) So if I have to make friends with the staff at the local DMV until I meet my goal, so be it.

Thanks imnotmyown. :) Life is mean sometimes. I think Jesus knows that one too well, but I'll try to be like Him and overcome it.

Father, thank You for Zeeboe's desire to lean on You through this. Guide him and help him in this Father. Give him more confidence each time he drives. The next time he goes to take the test, replace any fear with joy and happyness that he is getting his license, and the peace of knowing that You will be right there with him. Thank You Father. In Jesus name. Amen

I need to vent, and that's what I am going to do now. Pay it no mind. I realize I should keep this to myself, but it helps me to give people the option to read this rant if they are so inclined. But responding is not needed, and a response is not what I am looking for. This is just a rant.
I've been feeling really depressed and angry over this. What was supposed to be a good week turned into a nightmare? This is why I was scared of failing. I knew I'd react this way. I honestly believed I'd overcome the fear, but my entire life I've always struggled at everything and always cracked while under pressure.
Anytime I get happy and get confident, something always comes along to knock me down and remind me of who I am, and what my place in this life is. It's not some force out there can't stand seeing me enjoy life, so it comes along to ruin things. I rarely feel generally happy. For the most part, I'm a very bitter, depressed and angry human being. I never take my anger out on others though, and always put on a good attitude and have made myself be content with life, but on the inside and when just around me, I'm miserable. I have having to life with myself. I hate that I make mistakes. I hate that I'm not very bright. I even hate my first and last name. I hate being tall, and I hate that people are always telling me how lucky I am to be tall. Well, they can take my height if they want it so bad cause I hate it, and I don't wanna be tall. I don't wanna be different. Since I was a teenager, I've been told how girls love tall guys. Well, I've never had a girlfriend in my entire life and rarely go on second dates, so being tall has not helped me in that department. I'm also not only tall, but big as well and that is something I know women are not interested, and I hate having to live inside this big thing called a human body. I hate that my likes have to be unique. I hate being so unpopular and alone in life. I hate that people have used me to make themselves feel better about themselves. I hate that no one understands exactly how this feels. I hate that at age 25, I still have the exact same thoughts and feelings about life that I did as a teenager, only I've grown more angry and sad as I've gotten older.
Anyway, in regards of driving, I'm not wanting to do any heavy duty driving. I'm just wanting to get to and from work, and that's it. I plan to do very little driving, and yet in order to get a license, I have to be a perfect driver, take on challenges I have no plans of ever taking on, and make no mistakes while doing it. I've come so far, and yet at the very end, it's all gotten so hard. It shouldn't be. It's just driving. But whenever I get nervous, I screw up. I can't sit there and drive while some stranger is sitting in there with me, watching me and writing stuff down.

Zeeboe my friend, I am so sorry that you are going through this...I know you said you didnt need a response but I feel I have to only because I care what you are going through, please know I am saying this from my heart!!
I read that last response you wrote that you were just needing to vent. I hate to hear you talk that way because it is all so negative. That is satan putting all that negativity,doubt,fear,hatred into your mind. You must must must turn that around and start thinking positive #1, #2 think outside the box and stop putting a limit on yourself of what you have, don't have, are or are not, look like and don't look like. Step outside that and DO give yourself a challange, take that first step and get through that driving test..Tell yourself everyday that you can do it, that you can do anything. Do not do the opposite, anytime you tell yourself something negative then that IS what you will become. If you say you can't do it, well then it will happen and you won't be able to do it...Do not let satan win this!!! You deserve so much, you deserve blessings, and I want you to have them! Start doing these things for yourself and noone else! If you start turning these things around, praying continuesly, and keeping in the word, you will see and feel less negative thoughts. You must give this to the Lord and let him handle it. The bottom line is YOU CAN DO ANYTHING and any 1 of these things you mentioned in ur post you can do them!! Set your mind to it and get motivated, I wish for you to be happy, not just content, I wish for you to have everything your heart desires, not just drive to and from work. I wish to see you live and get out there and have fun. You only live once!! My heart just feels for you and I wanted to share this with you because I am saddened to see you just going through this like you are suppose to be living like this, you're not. Give it to the lord and just start thinking positive and things will change. You will get that license and be driving, you will be going places!! Trust me I had things going on in my life that I thought would never change, some time passed and I started noticing changes, the more I focused on God, the more positive changes took place, it made me feel empowered and I just focused more and more on the Lord. It will happen!!!
I am praying for you please know that!!!
your sister in christ!

Hi Zeeboe...
I am so sorry that you are experiencing all of these feelings. I would love to just give you a big hug and tell you that it's all going to be ok... but you really don't want to hear that... people have been telling you that forever. You want some type of answer... some type of change... yo want to hear something different.
Zee... I don't have all the answers... none of us do... But I can tell you, that many of us here have experienced the very same feelings that you are having. My husband and I counsel with people that still have those feelings.
And yes... there is a force out there that is trying to knock you down every time you get up. His name is satan. He knows you... and knows all of your weaknesses. He also knows that you are trying to stay on the narrow path of salvation... and that is why he works so hard to knock you off that path and into a rut each time. Every insecure feeling that you have, every pain, every heartache, every feeling of worthlessness, every depressed feeling, every feeling of low self-esteme, all bitterness and anger, and every feeling of hate and being miserable... comes straight from the enemy. It is him who stirs up these feelings within you.
BUT... You are not the person who you are describing here. Do you know who I see in your posts? I see someone with a tender heart, a love for Christ, someone who cares for others feelings (or you wouldn't excuse yourself for venting), someone who has a desire to move forward in their life and a desire for change (there are 50 year olds out there who have no desire's for change what-so-ever), someone who desires wisdom and knowledge from the Lord, someone who wants to be pleasing to others, etc.
The enemy wants you to believe all of the junk in your head... all that stuff that you posted. But that is not who you are and that is not who Jesus see's.
Let me share a secret with you. All of my life I was told that I would never amount to anything. My family treated me like I should have never been born. I was always (throughout my childhood, teens and young adulthood) trying to prove myself, get my family to like me, show them that I was worthy of their acceptance. I lived in fear of my mom and brother... and dealt with a tremendous amount of abuse... both physically and mentally. Every failure in my life just added to their judgement of me. This left me with all of the bitter feelings just like you are having... (except being tall... I'm short  ). It also left me with fears. Fear that I could never be good enough for anyone, that no-one could ever love me, fear of failure, etc.
I remember thinking one day... "Why do they hate me? Why can't I do anything right in their eyes? Why am I such a failure?" And then it hit me... I am not a failure! I am a creation of God, made in HIS IMAGE!!! If I'm made in God's image... and God is perfect... then I can't be a failure! Praise God!!! I finally realized that I was never going to be good enough for them, BUT... I was good enough for me and for God and for those who did like me (my church, etc.).
So are you... You were created in GOD'S IMAGE! and yes... you have come so far... DO NOT allow the enemy to have his way with your thoughts... he is a liar and the father of lies! (Or, as mt son-in-law would say, "he's a liar and a fat mouth!")
And when it comes to your next drive test... just picture the person sitting over there in their underwear looking stupid. That way you can just keep laughing in your head, with full confidence... that they are the ones under YOUR scrutiny. HA!!!
Take a stand against the devil... on your own behalf! Tell him to "get thee behind me satan (In the name of Jesus)" just as Jesus did... and you will have power over the enemy!
God bless you Zeeboe... I will pray for you and for your next drive test! You are an overcomer!!!

Thanks everyone for the posts. I do read them, and am very grateful, and they do help.
Took the test again and failed. I rather not go over the details at the moment, but I didn't even get a chance to really take it. I was ready. It was like this American Idol audition from a few years ago when I guy dressed up like the statue of liberty only sang for a few seconds before Simon told him no, and didn't even let him sing for more then a second.
I'm not sad, but I'm pretty angry. Almost lost my temper, and even yelled out a pretty bad curse word out the window as we left.
Please pray. Cause I sometimes think I got a big curse put on me. But I'll go back tomorrow. Or soon anyway. I'll be all over those people giving them tons of gray hair until the job is done.
Really, coming here and reading these posts have been helpful. I see now there's no need for me to get  There's a lot worst going on, and attitude is everything. As long as I have the never say die attitude, I'll be fine. If those people wanna make a big drama outta this, then that's they're right..but I'll turn this into a comedy and go there so often that they'll pass me just to get rid of me. Or have a big party for me when I do pass. But I won't let up on em.'
