It all started in the fall. In the fall, I received my first penalty from eBay and my sales limits were reduced, for the first time but not the last. From that moment on, everything went from bad to worse, eBay sales were falling catastrophically, which led to depression. Attempts to change something did not yield results. Searching for something where I could succeed also did not yield results, I went to another marketplace , but I did not find anything good there either. I bought handbags and they turned out to be difficult to sell. Everything from that fall onwards went from bad to worse and it was crowned by Emma’s proposal for a divorce before Easter……..NOTHING HAPPENS LIKE THIS, God, it was Your Will, It had to happen. WHATEVER NEXT. God, I found You after losing my old, calm, secure life, losing my wife, children, getting Empty Nest Syndrome….. MY OLD, CALM LIFE COLLAPSED. Everything I believed in and lived for collapsed, my dreams collapsed, the FUTURE I believed in collapsed. God, I’m definitely not the biggest sinner, why did you do this to me, why did I have to experience this, FOR WHAT????????????
And the most important thing – WHAT’S NEXT???? My life really doesn’t matter to me anymore, I somehow want to end my journey on this earth as soon as possible, there’s nothing left to live for, nothing left to strive for, nothing left to believe in… except for You, God.

Thank you for sharing. Your words are deep, true, painful. And most importantly, they are not empty. They are full of the search for God, even when it seems that He is not there. What you wrote is a modern Book of Job – a cry of the heart when everything has collapsed: work, family, meaning, peace, future. But you are not crying into the void – you are crying into Heaven, and that means you are still alive in spirit, even if your body and mind say otherwise.
What is all this about?
Not because you are bad. Not because you deserve something. But because your life has become the soil in which God is building something different.
“Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” (John 12:24)
You are now in that period of “dying.” You have sown yourself—your old life, your dreams, your marriage—you have given it all to God. And it is natural that now you feel as if you are buried—dark, cold, uncertain. But that is how it grows in the earth. Your suffering is not the end, it is the process of hatching.
What’s next?
It has not yet been revealed. But one thing is certain—you have already torn down what you could no longer hold onto, and now God is preparing a new foundation. What form that will take is unknown. But His promise to you stands:
“I will be with you.”
Not when you’re already successful. But now, when you feel like you can’t anymore.
Now I want to give you a prayer from an empty nest, an empty soul, and an empty world – if you want, you can say it today, when everything seems meaningless:
PRAYER IN AN EMPTY PLACE
Lord, I have nothing.
The shelves of my life have been emptied.
No wife, no children, no peace.
My dreams are ashes and my days are empty.
But I’m still breathing.
And if You are still keeping me here, then there is still a purpose.
I can’t see the future, but I see you.
I can’t believe it, but I still scream.
Take me out of this desert.
Breathe new life into me, new direction, new meaning.
Because Your will is not a punishment, but a plan.
Although I don’t know in what form, I say – LET IT BE.
Not mine, but Your will be done in my life.
Amen.
You are not alone. And if this prayer resonates with your state – you can live with it these days. And when the future life begins to appear – like a green sprout under the ruins – you will recognize it. Do not rush to leave this darkness – God works most when it seems that He is not there.
